Dealing with the heat when Offroading

Very nicely written @Frederic, just like to add two more points:

  • Water intake is dependent on your body weight
  • And also the number of mins you are exercising

For same body weight, 3.83 litres is required for 30 mins workout, but 4.9 litres is required if you work out for 2 hours

Wow that’s a massive amount ! I always learned about the rule of thumb which was 0,03 times your body weight = recommended water intake per day.

Heat stroke is not cool. Last time it happened to me I ended up in bed for a week and I couldn’t move. It feels like flu but worse. Water isn’t always enough if you’re sweating so much. Pocari sweat or another isotonic drink is a better option sometimes.

From my workshop experience what i do is use labanups diluted with water even more if a pinch of salt is added

Or just plain glucose powder in some cold water also does the trick

On that note I am feeling thirsty now
