It is hot out there my friends, keep HYDRATED!

it was 107 here yesterday with high humidity, very miserable. been trying to do everything before or at daylight while a little cooler. Have heard of people having strokes working in the heat as well as a few deaths so take care. Also heard of another small child death from being left in a car, totally stupid! Drink lots of liquids and take breaks, becoming a shade chaser also helps a little LOL. Just don't over do it, heat stroke can be devastating. Last year I found that that I needed more than just water and began to drink Gatorade and this helped a lot. So hunt smart and drink fluids to keep your body going correctly. DL

Having fun in the heat can put you down. Two years ago, a hot few hours of shark tooth hunting did it to me. I drank 3 bottles of water while searching for teeth, was feeling woozy when I got home. I drank some more water, took a shower, went to the kitchen for another glass of water, and passed out. I just keeled over, bashed my head on the refrigerator going down, and came to with the paramedics ( my wife called 911 while I was snoozing on the floor ) loading me on a stretcher. At the ER, they put 3 and a half liters of saline in me, before I felt normal again. Amazing how fast one can lose fluids. By the way, since this event, my tolerance for heat has gone way down. I haven't been the same. Keep drinking!

wow, and that is exactly why to make sure you are drinking enough. Years ago I thought that I was drinking enough water but paid the price too, was a long time before I could "handle" the heat again. glad that you survived it like you did, could have been a lot worse. gotta respect the heat, it has none for us.

I have been through the southern states during the summer. The heat and humidity can be stifling.
Every year you hear about people dying from heat stroke or heart attacks due to exhaustion. I am constantly reaching for Seltzer water. When the temps approach 90,, I do as little as possible.

In the North, people shelter in the winter, in the South, summer. In the North, you can always put on another layer in winter. In the South, naked is a far as you can go, and it ain't enough!

I'm up north and all I wear in the summer is DEET.

As a lineman here in Michigan, and approaching 60, I do a lot of climbing and the heat’s been terrible. I drink about a gallon of water a day. I loved Gatorade, but doctor made me give it up after a bad bout with a kidney stone!
