Just finished a good read in Summer issue of BWJ on beating the heat. While everyone seems to have similar strategy, there are a couple of things I do that I might have missed in the article.

I always get a haircut prior to trip as I find shorter hair cooler and easier to manage. I also fill and freeze two 1 qt nalgenes so that I have cold drinks the first day, which is typically a hard travel day while the body is making the adjustment to the heat.

Anyone have other tips? 8-)
