#28: THIRST
I was hiking in South Dakota once, in 105-degree weather, due to very bad planning on everyone's part. I lost one of my water bottles, and had no headgear.
I suffered full-on heatstroke. It's the closest I have ever come to dying.
Ever since, I've had trouble letting myself get thirsty. Hot environments bother me, and I always try to keep water on hand.
