Maybe not a camping tip but for walking or being outside in extreme heat - soak a bandana and squeeze out the excess water. Roll it from corner to corner so it's a long headband and freeze it. Tie this around your forehead. Do it with as many as you have to keep it fresh. Make sure you're drinking LOTS of water, at least a gallon a day. If you're hiking, put ice in your hydro flask.

I do field work in the Florida swamp 🫠Sun shirts are a must! There’s a reason why people who work outside are covered head to toe. I always end up getting the tops of my hands sunburned so don’t forget to apply there. Also don’t only drink water make sure to get Gatorade or liquid IV powder to keep your electrolytes up.

Buy a cheap around the neck fan blower - they have been HEAVENLY for wicking away sweat

I don’t deal with temps quite as hot but it’s been 90–95 where I am the last few days. -Sunscreen -Multiple water bottles, ideally insulated -Extra thermos just for ice/ice water -Liquid IV (powder packs, just mix into one of your water bottles when it’s almost empty) -Hat, headband, or bandana to keep sweat out of eyes

If it’s really hot and you’re doing hard work you should drink a liter of water an hour, with a salty snack every two. If no salty snack, then get electrolyte power to mix with your water (for example, liquid IV). You need salts for water retention!!! Rest in the shade whenever possible, and do not try to look impressive and push yourself. Whoever’s in charge should understand. You’re coming from a cooler place, so physiologically your body just is not going to be adapted for a few weeks

Definitely buy some SPF long sleeve light colored shirts! I really enjoy the Columbia PFG ones with the hood for under my hard hat

Those lightweight sun hoodies are the absolute best if you’re in a low humidity, high UV index area. I carry at least a gallon on me every work day and then have an insulated bottle of cold water in the truck or my campsite. Every hour spend 5-10 minutes in the shade and keep a constant idea of your conditions. If you’re in a forested area it shouldn’t be too horribly hot fortunately.
