How the numbers are worked out
Water and energy fall all the time, faster when you sprint and faster again in the cold. Tell the calculator how you are moving and it estimates how long your current reserves hold out, so you can decide whether the next town is within reach on what you have with you.
The formula
- drain rate = temperature multiplier × movement multiplier
- hours until empty = 48 ÷ drain rate

Common mistakes
People forget that temperature multiplies everything. Being soaked in cold weather sends energy drain through the roof, so wading a river at the start of a trip changes the numbers for the whole rest of it.
