Human beings have survived in hot climates since the dawn of time. If we follow the basic rules, it’s quite possible to avoid heat illness. The most important is to drink plenty of water and let your body’s cooling system work. Then be reasonable about what you choose to do in direct sunlight. When fighting the heat, a little common sense goes a long way, and the basic treatment is always the same. Similarly, preparing yourself and your rig may prove very worthwhile.
