Spring is a wonderful time of the year. The plants and trees renew their beauty, the days get longer and the winter cold becomes a memory. Beautiful days woo us to go outside and get active. As spring evolves into summer the mercury begins to climb. Pursuing active adventure in the outdoors in hot weather brings some new challenges to prevent heat and sun related problems.
Here are some tips to Beat the Heat:
Stay hydrated – Drink often, whether you feel thirsty or not. Avoid caffeinated drinks, such as colas, tea or coffee as they are diuretics, causing you to urinate more often, thus dehydrating you. Water is best, supplemented with electrolyte replacement drinks if you are involved in heavy exertion activities. Old timers used to say, “Pee clear!” This means that you are staying properly hydrated. Water bottles are great and easy to carry. Hydration systems, such as Camelbak are wonderful for drinking while hiking, biking or paddling. Studies have shown that people drink more often and thus stay more hydrated when using such systems. Cool drinks are received by your body faster and are certainly more refreshing. Insulated water bottles or insulated hydration systems are great for day trips when you can ice down your liquids. Of course, out in the wild you will need to treat water from natural sources to prevent illness. Great Outdoor Provision Co. has an incredible selection of water bottles, hydration systems, filters, purifiers and storage systems. Come checkout the options at our shops.
Protect your eyes – Use sunglasses that protect against harmful UVA and UVB rays. Polarized glasses are great if you are on the water as they protect against the glare of reflective sun rays off of the water. You can also spot objects just beneath the surface of the water better. This is great if you are fishing. Don’t forget some sort of eyewear retention strap so you won’t lose them. Some of these retention straps will float your glasses. Checkout our awesome selection of fine sunglasses.
Protect your skin – Many of the shorts, pants, convertible pants and shirts we carry have UPF ratings indicating the degree of sun protection offered. These garments typically have lots of useful pockets, are made of a quick-dry material and the shirts are well ventilated. Some pants and shorts have built in liners, so they double as a bathing suit. Light colors don’t absorb heat like dark colors do. All of these clothes keep you very comfortable on those hot, sticky days. You will also need waterproof and sweatproof sunscreen for skin exposed to the sun’s rays!
Don’t forget your head – We have a number of hats to choose from that will protect your face, neck and ears from those burning rays. Tilley hats have a 50+UPF rating.
Tips for cooling off:
Seek shade and rest if you experience weakness, dizziness, headaches, nausea, muscle cramps, loss of appetite or faintness. Rehydrate using water and electrolyte replacement drinks.Come by our shop and let us gear you up for adventure this summer!
Explore Global. Shop Local. Our new logo shirts from Cotton of the Carolinas fit this slogan to a “T”. They are grown, made and sold right here in North Carolina. The Harvest ‘08 shirt supports our local economy, has a tiny transportation footprint, and provides tracking to review the shirt’s life from dirt to shirt.
A globally-sourced t-shirt can travel more than 16,000 miles before being sold. CotC shirts require a mere 3 hour car ride to meet the entire production team. Great Outdoor Provision Co. is proud to be the first retailer to offer CotC shirts for purchase. Stop by the shop and support your local farmer, ginner, spinner, knitter, finisher, cutter, sewer, printer and dyer. After all, they’re neighbors.
