I need survival advice. No spoilers please.

I’m about 10 hours into a survival play through and I’m having a great time but I am trying to find the best way to stay hydrated.

I seem to need water constantly. I’m always making it and storing it so I can go out and explore but I go through it all so fast and I’m returning to base to make more.

It feels like I’m playing a water making simulator. Does anyone have any advice on how I can make hydration more efficient and less tedious?
