On Hydration. we manage our core temp by using iced water from 360 or yeti 1.5lt insulated bottles. As per DR Matt Brearlys studies on heat exhaustion (Google It.) Work uses his program for heat stress managment.
Usually carry 3 litres for the day , water load before leaving camp down a 600ml bottle , and carry another 600 ml bottle which is consumed at first stop/ 4-5km in. Route is planned around water availability from springs , creeks or known water sources. Topping up at every opportunity. Also cooling your head , nape of neck, which helps keep core temp down.
Usualy still have iced water for the trip out.
Chris M put me onto the iced bottles.
Purchased a couple of broad mouthed Yeti 1.3 L bottles to give a try this summer. The tractor cab used to be air conditioned cool but doesn't seem to work well now? Must fix! But a sweat hot box for 6 to 14 hours at a go. Iced Yeti water will be given a good test.
Trying it out with coffee today.
