These are fantastic tips. Please note the following addition to the above:

1. Working cod piece

Chances are, after drinking great amounts of water in an effort to hydrate yourself, you will probably need to piss like a wild race horse! Let's refrain from any Billy Madisons out there. "Look, Billy pissed his pants!"

Kam was't tough......Just dumb!!!!!

He likes to sweat and get stinky. Working cod piece????? can't do that to my TE or C6. :shock: Luckily I sweat it out before I have to tinkle like a race horse!!!!!!

Drinking water in the heat is a great tip.

However, remember to do so in moderation. Don't drink to fast or too much at once. It is possible to flush out the electrolites in your body which can lead to death. I have seen this happen. Its never fun to watch a buddy die of hydration of all things.

Consider mixing in gatorade with your water intake because it helps rebuild electrolites.

Avoid soda at all costs.

Camelbacks are a great idea for Troopers because they fit under the armour and come in black so that they blend in with the underarmour.

Hydrate or Die...but don't over do it.
