I was just trying to organize a bunch of my tackle art a storage unit. I had been there for a couple hours and really been fine and talking to a couple other guys and I swear it hit all of us almost at exactly the same time I got a little dizzy, the whole 9 yards and just was really really dehydrated. Almost passed out.
It really didn’t seem that hit and I was completely fine until I wasn’t. Liquid IV did the job, but crazy how fast that came on.

It gets worse with age I think

It’s not just us olds that don’t drink enough water. I push it every day I’m on the water. IMO you should drink min 6 bottles of h2O this time of the year on an 6-8 hr trip.

I’m going through it right now moving furniture. I almost passed out in my driveway.

AMEN
This kicked my arse once at 35 and has a couple times since. Never heat stroke, but I've had heat exhaustion. It is bad freakin news yall. Make sure to drink water and put some electrolite packs in there if you can.

I've read that heat exhaustion / stroke gets worse the more times you experience it, sort of like snake bites. Each time you get it, you become more succeptible to it in the future.

Before long trips on the water I always pre hydrate the day and night before. If you wait until the morning to start hydrating, you've already lost the game.

I had a "white out" the other day talking to my neighbor and I was drinking water.
Instead of going black it went white. I went inside after and read it could be heat exhaustion or a stroke. Weird. That was after helping my son move in late July in this misery.
Head exhaustion can be additive and last for several days.

I've adapted my outside workwear, bought several Milwaukee long sleeve work shirts that offer the equivalent of SPF40, brimmed hat with a neck shield, stock my fridges with BodyArmor and Flash IV drinks, and definitely either get started early or wait until the evening to mow the yard. I can drink over a gallon of water an hour and sweat it out just as fast.

Pouring concrete in south Louisiana we found pickle juice and pedialyte work good. Make sure to eat as well. Even if you are hot and don’t feel hungry eat something. Water down Gatorade.

The majority of my clients are hungover when they get on the boat. Some never quit so any non alcohol fluids are a +.
Piss Test is an accurate indicator of dehydration, dark and you're dehydrated, clear and you’re good.
If you aren’t pissing at all better start downing fluids.

Came here to say that. If you’re not peeing while fishing, you aren’t drinking enough.

Washing the truck on Saturday and it was brutal. Had to take more breaks than usual to get some electrolytes in me. Good news is the new LSU hat I was wearing was fully sweated through and broken in.

I was on my roof yesterday at about 1100 and I thought I was gonna die after about 45 minutes.

About 6 years ago when I was 40, I ignored the warning signs one evening and gave myself heat exhaustion. Damn near passed out in the yard while talking to my neighbor. Went in, took a shower drank some water and went to bed. Woke up the next day, blood pressure was cratering and I felt like crap.
I ended up spending 2 days in the hospital for heat exhaustion. I had lost most of my electrolytes and that was affecting my heart rate and BP. It damn near took me a week and half before I felt like doing anything again and it was several days before I could eat anything solid.
It was all a result of my old stubborn habit of: "Well let me just get one more thing done." which turns into several other things. I don't do that shite anymore after it almost killed me. Don't ignore the warning signs. If you stop sweating and get a dry mouth, get inside and drink electrolytes, not just water but get electrolytes back into you.

A guy I worked with died from it a few years back. He was older than shite, about 50, but still too young to go. He was working in his yard and passed out when nobody was home. Wife came home and found him gone.
