You probably hate it when someone asks, “Hot enough for yah?” But this year, 2010, there’s a new bit of irony to that question. That’s because we’re dealing with heat of historic proportions, which means hydrating is more important than ever.
This week’s Backcountry Radio looks at staying hydrated on the trail and the warning signs of heat illnesses.
Backcountry Radio also focuses on a proposed service corps of workers for national parks and public lands, and the featured hike of the week sets out for arctic-alpine zones in the Adirondacks.
Backcountry Radio comes to you every Thursday morning, and you can subscribe to it at iTunes.
Hike on, hike on!
