Jeans and a long sleeve shirt, you were lucky to get out of there alive!

hmmmm,, are you thinking I should still be going to the doc and getting more IV treatments, I had one IV in Africa. I still feel weak and crappy especially when the sun hits me, though I think I am very slowly getting better.
Yes, I never wear shorts or short sleeves , but if I go again, I may very well wear shortsThat’s a great bull!

Glad you are ok. I think @1dirthawker meant liquid IV electrolytes drink supplement not a liquid IV into your arm.Thanks your thoughts , are you thinking I should still be going to the doc and getting more IV treatments, I had one IV in Africa.

On a side note. Those cooling towels are the ducks nuts!!! Had one for my last Cooker who could not handle the heat at all. Just soaked it and put it over him. He would walk around with it no problem. Never tried to pull it off.Congratulations on a magnificent bull
I have had multiple heat exhaustion episodes, being a rancher and boat captain really puts a strain on the body, we had to unload 6 tons of feed one day in 104* ( 120 heat index) and got way too hot and as said before it’s not a easy recovery and can easily go south if you don’t learn to pace yourself, I wear deluth pants and a full sleeve fishing shirt ( any cool dry material) and alpaca socks, and keep a special towel that is made for cooling after being soaked in cold water, and a large brimmed hat
If you’re near bananas or watermelon eat some when you start feeling the heat and take a break and eat some, carry some packages of salted crackers or almonds in your pack or vehicle
a fish oil daily supplement will help ward of HE also , oysters are full of zinc, magnesium, and other essentialsView attachment 627857

I'm not a fan of short pants either. I have some Kuiu pants that have mesh pockets and leg slits with zippers to open. They are awesome! Zip up in the early morning and evenings, but when it starts to warm up unzip the pockets and leg slots and you quickly feel a nice breeze coming through yet still have protection from scratches and sunburn. You can also get long sleeve sun protection shirts that are thin and breath well. Fishing shirts.Yes, I never wear shorts or short sleeves , but if I go again, I may very well wear shorts
Excellent advice. Lightweight clothes that cover up as much skin as possible helps a lot.I live in South Texas and wear long pant and long sleeves almost everywhere I go. I find that long sleeve shirts cool better when you get a bit of a sweat going. Now I do agree that they need to be the correct weight. I like the Carhart Cargo pants because they are thin and breath better than jeans and I usually wear a light weight fishing style shirt. I am becoming a big fan of shirts with a hood though so I can pull the hood over my neck and ears. I also really like wearing neck gaiters for the same reason. Not to criticize, but I think the jeans and thick shirt were retaining heat and it caught up to you.
Love that elephant thought. The battered and broken ends of his tusks make me think he must have lead quite a life and he was probably spectacular if he was fully intact. Congrats on the amazing trophy.

That’s what I’ve found too. Lightweight long pants and lightweight long sleeves plus a neck gaiter keep the sun off me. They might be a little bit warmer while hunting but I find it a lot easier to recover that evening and be ready for the next day than being exposed to too much sun. I also try to stay ahead on electrolytes drinks whether I think I need them or not.Excellent advice. Lightweight clothes that cover up as much skin as possible helps a lot.
I am ashamed to show my birdlegs, but I'm probably the only one that really cares anyway, but now I have to take all the precautions I can. Thanks for your thoughts Sir.Well my advice would be, adjust the wardrobe or stay out of the desert. I’m glad you are on the path to recovery!
You are right about the jeans and shirt holding in a lot of heat. Thanks for your thoughts Sir.I live in South Texas and wear long pant and long sleeves almost everywhere I go.
