Scott_of_melnsct Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 jumping back to water consumption...Pre-hydrate. The water you drink the 24 hours before is a major factor in whether or not you get dehydrated. If you are feeling dehydrated on the flying field you are already playing catch-up.

Chook Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 ..Pre-hydrate. I whole heartedly agree. We are trained in this as a volunteer fire-fighter. As I get older though, I just seem to have to flush it out, all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Rat Flyer Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Good topic. Another big vote for Neutrogena sunscreen. More money but a better product. I'm flying almost every day here in the greater Mohave desert. Baking sun and temps over 100 Like Khal I hate using sunscreen. Neutrogena applies better with no residual. Find I use it all the time vs. other that I don't care for. Wanted to recommend Outdoor Reasearch Hat "Sunbriolet Sun Hat" has a UPF 50 ratting, very light weight with and inter mesh and vent flow flaps on all sides. 5 years of service, found nothing better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
