Me and a buddy were diehard at one time and it was daylight to dark 3 weekends a month no matter the weather. One summer we got to trying to make sure we took care of ourselves in the heat. We would take watermelon, a whole case of water in a cooler, gatorade, fruits, etc. No joke, one day we loaded a whole case of water in a cooler with a few things of fruit or snacks and by the afternoon we had went thru all but a bottle or two and it wasnt super late. Coincidentally those were the days we didnt have the heat headaches or just totally wore down when we got in the truck. The heat and humidity on the lake takes way more out of than you think and it takes a lot to replinish that. Ive had some times where im fishing and i just snap out of it and say "man your to hot, take a break and get some water or take a ride and cool off". Sometimes we dont realize its as bad as it is Yep, we were the same way. But in our early 30's (when Lake Fork opened) it was daylight to dark, but usually we'd take a lunch break at one of the Marinas for an hour or so. Lots of water, gatorade, and we'd always jump in the lake and under the bow every couple of hours after lunch to cool off a bit. Heat stroke is no joke. These days there's no way I'm staying out in 100 degrees all day. I just ain't that mad at em anymore.

Another thing to look at with bottled water is to look and see if it was processed using osmosis filtering. I've worked with that and it can filter water to a level that it can literally remove all the minerals from the water and once that is done the water starts absorbing minerals from your body and can do you harm. As I said I don't know what standard they use but it might be worth looking into. I drink a lot of bottled water; probably a gallon a day but I also take really strong multi vitamins from GNC and 2500 MG's of B12 every other day alternating between the two.

Your body sweats the electrolytes and minerals. No need to “replace” them BEFORE you go out….you’ll just pee a lot of minerals out before your body even needs them. Plain water is best. About 16 oz per hour. Then, when done, you can drink the sugar and salt drinks.
That’s according to my doctor. So….dont run me over if I’m wrong.
I have worked outside in the heat and for the most part in the direct sun . Drinking a bottle of water at least every hour is the way we have always stayed hydrated.
