Gator Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Anyone ever gotten these? There are 3 stages to heat Injury, Heat Cramps, Heat Exhaustion, and Heat Stroke. Think I got a case of the cramps Sat. We had a company party out at the lake, drank a TON of water. Left there and went to the old place to gather the rest of my things and to move the camper. About half way to my destination, had a flat. Here it is 5 o'clock, and I am on the side of the road changing a tire:mad:. Got that done, headed to the store and bought some water, sucked on it a bit, then the cramps hit. Thought I was gonna hurl. Still had cramps when I went to bed at midnight. So EVERYONE, make sure you drink PLENTY of water!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Good Advice. Its hot, hot, hot. Its already hitting high 90's in Tulsa. It will break 100 again today. At those temps it get dangerous quick..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Yep, have gotten the cramps many times before, worked outside a good part of this past weekend, but kept well hydrated. Cannot drink too much water when it is hot like it is now. If you have to be working outside, keep hydrated and take plenty of breaks, be careful out there. Supposed to hit 105 here again today and again for the next two days. Then we get a break with it back down around 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Heat is my Kryptonite..........One of the reasons I don't shoot alot of 3d this time of the year. Seems like when I get out there in it for a while I get stomach cramps and get sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutchies Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I always carry a couple bottles of water on the course with me but I am considering taking my camelpack and fixing me up some kind of arrow holder on it so I have plenty of water............

Guest Andrea Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Better be careful out there Jason. Don't ever want to read a post asking "Anybody seen or heard from Gator???" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 About 8-9 years ago I got heat exhaustion! I actually passed out! Luckily for me a friend live near by. I knocked on his door, he got me in I asked for a big glass of cold water and wet towels. I knew if I stopped sweating, it was the beginning of heat stroke! I sipped the water SLOWLY. I felt nausea, and thought a few times I was gonna puke. Its a horrible feeling, and it doesn't go away fast. I was on my bicycle, even thought it was warm outside I had plenty of water, two bottles. When I passed out the bicycle landed on my chest, I also banged the back of my head. I never went to work that night. If you must be in this heat working, not just water alone, drink Gatorade as well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfletch7441 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Gatorade seems to do more for me than water when it comes to relieving cramps. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Gatorade seems to do more for me than water when it comes to relieving cramps. Ben now that's the ticket! water alone will not cure cramps. i don't care how much you drink, you can still cramp up and get sick. you need something with sugars in it. gatorade was specially designed for that. so are many others. but please.... do not think lots of water will keep you hydrated. it will not.

Shaun_300 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Yep, water is the key to hot weather. When it's hot here I bet I drink 10 to 15 20oz bottles of water between 7am and 4pm at work. Then probably another 5 bottles here at home. I'm like a dang camel in the heat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 now that's the ticket! water alone will not cure cramps. Keeping hydrated whether it be water or gatorade will help prevent cramps. If you have already gotten to the point you have cramps, eat a banana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
