Yup, I've always worked outside, so the heat doesn't bother me at all. I still make sure to drink lots of water though.


Only two times in my life were bad. I went cruising timber once with two other guys. We thought we were just gonna blow through it. Didn't bring water, and had to ride four wheelers to get back to the stand. First line went quickly, but on the second line coming back, we hit water, mud, and palmettos 5-8ft high for maybe 1/2 mile. Had to go back through that shite five more times that day, and then we just gave up. It was too hard to walk through. We were all very close to passing out when we were done. I was on the verge of blacking out, and even though the other guys didn't say it, I know they were too. That never happened again.

Before that, I brought my Camelback almost everywhere. After that, I brought it everywhere, and had an extra bladder in the truck for long days.
