Heat stroke

Jeff Stout · 07-27-2023, 11:08 PM

Had exhaustion once in Tucson. I was so happy to lose first round saturday went to hotel stayed until noon sunday felt good enough to drive home. Always load up on water and if your kidneys are weak 50/50 Gatorade as electrolytes are to strong and can give more harm then good. Also my employer had salt ta let's to help retain water.

Drink water, etc. every chance you get even if you're not thirsty. When you realize you're thirsty, it's too late, you're already dehydrated. You won't have to go to the bathroom as much either. In certain situations, especially if it's hot but humidity is down, you won't even know you're sweating because it will evaporate before getting your clothes wet or running down your brow.

I always brought the biggest cooler I could carry and sometimes an extra case of water. Had a box fan and a garden sprayer for the car too!
