Same - My hunting partner always shakes his head when the cramps hit... It's like it has happened on every trip. A couple of times the pain actually made me black out.

I've gotten into the habit of drinking more than I feel like, and using Nuun tabs in my water when doing more strenuous hikes to avoid cramping. It's helping.
