the heat..got my butt kicked

[FrankUSMC]

Over did it yesterday in the heat.....be careful!
I went back to our small farm this morning, I was so out of it yesterday, every door was open and all the feed cans were open, just was not thinking right. I always douple check every thing before I depart the farm. Might be Gods way of telling me to slow down, I am not that young Marine L/Cpl any more.
Good news is, I saw a beautiful fox on the farm today also, and he was not picking his teeth with a chicken feather so all the "girls" were ok.
One of the few, Frank USMC RET.

heat safety

good news that the heat didn't totally zap ya, frank.

FWIW I'm going to make sure to be 100% hydration-ready for my FTX later this month at Fort Pickett. Me and a small contingent of VaDF volunteers will be working a CERFP exercise to evaluate triage readiness and effectiveness for VA Air NG medicos...specifically doctors....it should be a fun source of potential heatstroke at MOUT City (if anyone's done any training at Pickett, they might now about this faux city)

keep hydrated! camelbaks...and H2O...are your friend

RE: heat safety

Been there Frank. A long time ago, I spent an afternoon in the back of an ambulance at wildland fire school getting re-hydrated after I didn't do a very good job hydrating myself in the first place. Not fun.

Drink lots of water gang.. and start long BEFORE you go out in the heat. If you wait until you're out in it, you're already way behind the 8 ball.
