Heat prostration...what a headache!
« on: August 12, 2008, 04:23:44 PM »
When planting 3 acres of food plots in the August Florida sunshine, the discing with the tractor went well for two solid hours. Broadcasting 250# of seeds by hand in 25# batches was my undoing. 

I drank copious amounts of water but 5 hours into the day I didn't want any more water and still had multiple long strips of seeding to perform plus covering everything.  At hour 7 I had had enough. 

Water is NOT the end all when working hard and sweating harder.  I went home satisfied that I had done all that I could do but the headache and heat prostration was almost my undoing.

Landowner,
Thats why you always take a 6 pack of beer too. It always helps me! Not enough to get ya in trouble, but enough to make things go well.
