I need your best beat the heat (temperature, not cops) tips

[Cherry Brigand]

Going to a concert next week and with heat index it's possible it will be well over 100 degrees (900C) and probably hotter on the field when the show starts.

We're taking umbrellas, snacks, electrolyte powders, sunblock, and battery powered fans. The venue apparently has refillable bottle stations, but I bet they're going to be mobbed.

What are some other tips for not dying on the field (assuming the show isn't canceled)?

Fill the bladder up to 25℅. Put in the freezer. Add water and electrolyte powder.

Stay well hydrated and don't stay in the direct sunlight for a long time. Figure out how to be in the shade. Consider some way to have moisture on your skin or clothes, so evaporation can pull heat away from you. Look into a personal water mister. Wear light colors.

Man all that in amongst a large crowd of people at a concert, you're gunna be sweating like a pervert in the bushes.

Better you than me.

1. Wear a hat with a wide brim to keep direct sunlight off your head / face / neck.

2. Sunblock on exposed skin, yes.

3. Fuck-tons of water. HYDRATE. Cold water is best as it will reduce core body temperature slightly.

4. Umbrella would work fine and eliminate need for hat assuming you stay under it all the time. But umbrellas can snd do block peoples view in crowd situations so.....that might not work. Be aware of and considerate of other people around you.

5. No dark colored clothes. They absorb more infra-red radiation (HEAT in sunlight)

Body's mechanism for dealing with excessive heat is to sweat . This is due to the fact that a liquid evaporating from a surface has a cooling effect on that surface. This is why we sweat.

I spend a lot of time in the tropics (outdoors) so I do know a bit about this stuff.

Not worth it.

Wash your forearms with cold water whenever you are washing your hands.

It doesn't change the game but it's alot more surface area to cool than just having your hands get wet.

Zero prep and easy as.

Get yourself a thermos or a Stanley cup with hot plain green tea. No sugar added, no anything.

Drink it gradually, bit by bit.

it's the best way to beat the heat I've experienced so far.

Pop up canopy

All the black people I know carry white towels around with them and that seems to help them and also seems to be used as a fashion accessory. I even know one dude who had his initials put on his.

 

[Beechwood]

Maybe bring an ice cooler, and a wet towel to wrap around your neck.

 

[chardog]

if outdoors, get yourself a reliable garden hat, you can beat a lot of the sun heat with a good ol hat, not too large brim, but has the drape over the rear of the neck and a drawstring

 

[MDoza]

Frogg Toggs or other brand cooling towel

 

[Patrick Jane]

Just have superior genetics like our indian overlords.

Harnessing the power of Google, 900 Celsius is equal to 1,652 degrees Fahrenheit. You'll be dead pretty quick at the temp, so pack light.

Talc on your nut sack

 

[aerius]

If it works in the blazing hot desert it'll work for the concert you're going to.

My first manager told me that anyone who drinks tea would suck a d. Thoughts?
