Good advice and I have gone a few steps further. I like a wide , light colored , brimmed hat that offers a lot of ventilation. I reduced the weight , 32 pounds off of myself and as the pack , a Mountainsmith Day Lumbar Pack with 8 pounds of gear. No sweaty back and extra heat build up that way. My regular backpack stays home. Two more things to really help , a silver reflective umbrella , think of it as portable shade. 2nd item , the Mission Endura Cool Towel. Wet it , give it a snap and put it around your neck for cooling relief. Here in Central Florida you stay conditioned to the heat and humidity all year long.

I appreciate you stopping by Chuck. Thank you for the tips. The only downside to living in Alabama is the humid summers, lol. So, any advice is much appreciated. -ATB Adam

Good idea for a video and really good tips. It's probably the "conditioning" tip that would surprise most people--it takes some time to get acclimated to the heat when the seasons change. It's always "water" that gets me into most trouble personally. You really have to plan carefully if there's not enough around. Anyway, good video--and I'm looking forward to some warmer weather.

+Evan's Backpacking Videos I totally agree, for me at least it takes about 3 weeks, to condition myself for the heat and humidity, to be comfortable with it. As far as water goes I've been fortunate to be at locations where there is plenty of water to filter, like Oak Mountain State Park and the Sipsey Wilderness. Also, I figured there are plenty of videos on hiking in the heat, but rarely do they discuss both heat and humidity. Thanks for your support. -TCGB Adam

Loved your tips. I'm taking a group of 15 girls and ladies on a week long adventure in August. I'll be passing these along.

I would recommend the following: 1) A water soaked bandanna or similar item, to wrap around your neck or your head. Just until it gets warm, then remove it. 2) Dipping, splashing or soaking your clothes, wraps and head (&/or groin area - major blood vessels run through there) in any water crossings you encounter. 3) Some type of chaffing cream, in the event you start to get a little burn in the thigh region. Other than that, everything else is pretty sound advice.
