Dealing with hot humid weather

The Basics

 First, drink water, drink water, drink water. Put an electrolyte powder in your water at least a couple of times a day.  Make sure you are drinking a minimum of one gallon of non-alcoholic liquids a day. Alcohol dehydrates people. Think about your pets. They don't sweat so pour water over them to help reduce their body temperature.

 Bring extra electrolyte powder to share!

During the middle of the day, all creatures, human and non-human, should stay in the shade and rest. 

Please do not overdue it.  

 The Symptoms to watch for: 

 If you experience any of these symptoms, sit down in the shade, drink water, poor cool water on your clothes, and ask for medical assistance. Heat stroke can cause permanent irreversible damage to your body. Don't go there!

    One of the best ways to keep from over-heating outdoors in hot humid weather is to immerse in cold water frequently and/or shower in cold water. It appears the nearest immersion pools in Spring Creek at the MIssouri site are a mile or more from the gathering area around camp house spring. It appears there are immersion pools throughout the Cedar Credk gathering site in Oklahoma.
