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.

I look forward to comments that avoid racist, sexist, homophobic, and/or other 'ism' language & that does not advocate violence or spread lies/rumors.

Spring Circle / Council / Counsel

  Spring council/counsel/circle (Spring CCC)  Updated June 19th at 9:10 PM Central Time. Spring CCC is over. Consensus minus one was reached for a site in Missouri. The Howdy Folks is now available.  Updated June 18th at 11 AM Central Time.  Please be patient as the folks at spring council try to find a gathering site. They have been dealing with very dangerous storm conditions in addition to challenges finding a site on and off over a number of days. Trying to balance water, parking, and the concerns of indigenous communities is not easy.  Folks are revisiting sites to see what can be made to work with some Rainbow ingenuity.  If you are in the area, stop by the council site and find out how you can help. Maybe folks need some more green energy, maybe they need their laundry done, maybe some hot pizza would lift spirits.    Updated June 17th @ 3:15 PM Central Time The council is ongoing.   Folks on the land trying to find the best possi...
