Opening a can of worms

We?re in the middle of a heatwave this week here (32c or 100f but im Canadian, lol) and yes, taking off socks and shoes is huge. As a reference, aug ?92 i was in south sector of Yugoslavia working on tanks, it was 54c and we were drinking 6-8 1.5L bottles of water a day. I was younger but can?t imagine even being in that heat now, let alone humping a ruck and getting shot at, lol!

Heat is your enemy, most times you don?t recognize the signs yourself, thats why we used the buddy system.(also works in the cold, like -74f up north too)
