Im going to share your channel with my friend. I'm 70, 8 years older than her and in poorer shape. She wants me to push beyond what feels safe for me, saying I'm not willing to try. Needless to say, it spoils our time together. Your advice seems wise to me and maybe it will help her to respect my limits.
Ty much appreciated. Know your limits but also get out there and experience. Always best error on the caution side especially when we are older.
As always...great information. I saw the chart you inserted and got concerned because it said "No Sweating" / "Dry Skin" - glad you cleared that up right away.
Ty. Much appreciated for watching.
Good information. Thank you!
You are welcome ty for watching
Great video Dan! Informed action saves lives! Thank you
Ty
Great info! It’s easy to overheat in AZ!
@@sammitorn5326 ty much appreciated
Oh, yeah. Another thing that I added to my IFAK kits. Individual packs of Propel brand electrolyte mix. I'm all around Great Smoky Mountains NP, so water is abundant. So I am always out with my Grayl, or Sawyer mini, so I can mix up the Propel whenever I need to.
That's a good idea. Nice.
Prevention is best. Don’t hike when it’s hot. A chicken has a brain the size of a pea, but even they know to stay in the shade when it is hot.
Well said
Yardwork in hot weather is just as deadly. Except one has unlimited water within reach. But I bet many forget to hydrate while doing activities so close to home.
Totally agree. Have many seniors doing yard work that frequently get dehydrated not drinking enough.
@@SurviveOutdoors A senior citizen here, who does his own yard work, and I live in S FL... besides cold fluids (with electrolytes) I keep a damp hand towel or several damp washcloths in my cooler, between two ice-packs... and every 10-15 mins I take a break for a drink and to wipe down my face head and neck with the damp and cold cloth. If I'm really hot I'll hold it under my armpits too... but I'm thinking of bringing out a fan now, too, after viewing your video!
What about cool packs? Those that you have to activate that are used for cooling - one-time use chemical reaction. Sounds like it would be good to have two with them?
Absolutely great idea. Those can help a lot if one pre plans. Awesome idea. Ty for that.
@@SurviveOutdoors I just got the idea from your video while thinking about putting cold stuff under your armpits 😀
Scary fact: it does NOT have to be super hot for heat stroke to occur, if exercising and dehydrated. It can even happen when the temp is in the 80s.
Years ago I did a summer rotation with a state Occupational Safety department, and there were 2 heat stroke death, both in young, fit men, and both in the setting of group exercise for training.
And in both, the temp was “only” in the mid to high 80s.
Muscular guys are at somewhat higher risk, as they don’t radiate heat quite as well as people with less of a “muscle layer.”
Great point
What about carrying ice cold water with you to drink?
Excellent I carry a frozen water bottle base of backpack for my back then use it to drink. On target yes
