If you have access to running water, place the hose in your shoes and let the water run.



Good luck.

Soak a couple of hand towels in the ice chest, place one flat on your back & chest before donning your driving jacket when getting in the car to make a pass. This has also helped me prevent sweat dripping in my eyes while trying to focus on the tree.
