Hey #GearMeOut, it is starting to warm up here. Luckily we had a pretty shady canopy during today's hike.

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival A1: If I can afford it, NORTH. If I can't, out very early and to a shaded path or where I can swim before/during/after. #GearMeOut

replying to @mjn126 @mjn126 It should be good, being by a big lake is generally a pretty good place to be when it gets hot #GearMeOut

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival A1: paddling in the North Atlantic, in south west Nova Scotia our coast is covered with islands. We ride the tide out to them and go foraging on shore for shellfish and enjoy the cool ocean water. #GearMeOut

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival A1 it has been getting hotter and hotter every summer here in Manitoba. We ended up going into an open cave / crevas system. the temp was 10 to 15 degrees lower than the 30 degrees on the road.
Same in the winter but 10 to 15 degrees warmer #gearmeout

replying to @mjn126 @mjn126 @UST_Survival So far this summer you'd have to go farther north than OH to get away from the heat...we've already had too many days in the 90s for my taste! #GearMeOut

A2 #GearMeOut I usually use my own body as a gauge for how hard I should push it through the heat. Working with Scouts though, we did place limitations on activity due to high heat/humidity https://t.co/YZvHpAXwQa
