Those are good strategies for hot and DRY places. You will sweat, but it may not accumulate on your clothing if the humidity is low enough. Cover yourself from head to toe. Having multiple loose, light colored, lighter fabric layers can be helpful in keeping the sun off of you, and in retaining your sweat for long enough to notice. The sun hoodie is a GREAT idea -- keep the sun off of your head and neck. I prefer wide brimmed hats, and an umbrella for portable shade. COTTON can save your life in the daytime in a hot desert -- by holding onto your sweat longer and allowing evaporation to work over a longer period of time. Be sure you have a DRY layer of clothing to put on after the sun goes down. The amount of water lost to evaporation will really surprise you. It can be hard to gauge your hydration level when the sweat evaporates "instantly." In environments that are hot and WET, you want to maximize convection and evaporation. When the humidity is 90%+ you will want to wear the minimum amount of loose clothing layers. Wide brimmed hats are still my go-to. And LOTs of sun screen on any exposed flesh. Sweat can be almost impossible to get rid of when the humidity is high enough.
It truly is amazing how humidity can change things. Going from a humid region my whole life to the dry desert has been amazing. It's like oh I can actually cool down when I rest instead of suffocating on air moisture lol.
I think the video is spot on for humid regions. I live in south Texas - crazy humid and blistering hot in summer - and I am considerably more comfortable with a long sleeve sun shirt. I also use the Columbia shirts he showed. The sun shirts keep you cool and make it easier to be active for longer periods. And they dry quickly. I swim often in a near by river, and my shirt is dry in practically no time. So I can go from swimming to hiking without changing my shirt or being uncomfortable. I just started using sun shirts last year and wish I had started earlier. Pretty much all I wear for summer hiking and activities now.
@@booboothefool3342 Garner is rough this time of year. Really watch the "wet bulb temperature." When the wet bulb temp gets above body temperature, you will NOT cool through evaporation. The cooling towel from the video is a good idea. You can swing it around to cool it down every so often. Umbrellas for shade. Long sleeve shirts will help with the sun. Light weight cotton or a quick dry synthetic are both OK - dealers choice. If you are sleeping out, bring a cotton bed sheet. Get it wet, and drape it over you as a "blanket."

Greetings, late to comment but I’ve been learning water discipline this summer. The biggest challenge is that one loses more water and salt than the body can absorb. Cameling up helps. The best tip I can share is to pre-load salt like long-distance runners. It makes a big difference.
Great tips for sure. I wouldn't mind hot weather hiking/camping but the humidity is what gets you where im from. Only thing that half way works is a wet hat or wet buff wrapped around your head/neck
How one channel like this still with just 14k?? Seriously this channel helped me a lot so I am trying to share with everyone which enjoy camping. Thank you a lot to share you knowledge and regards from Brazil :)
Thanks for the tips. Moving from Canadian boreal forest to a desert area for work so started binge watching hot weather hiking videos and yours is one of the better ones.

The tip with the cold towel is pure gold, thanks man!
"It does pack down really small, pun intended." I have no choice but to subscribe. Glad YT recommended you, man. I'm getting super head first into backpacking planning.
That is precisely what lead me to trying Nuun electrolyte tablets. I've used them on the last few trips. They don't taste that great, but much better for you.
Thanks for the tips! I live and hike in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the weather tends to be hot, sunny and humid. I get soaked with sweat every time!
I stumbled across your channel recently and am super pleased to see hot weather backpacking as a topic. I'm in Australia and I literally never have to think about snow or freezing conditions, my issues are having to avoid hiking when it's hot (which is like 7 months of the year) so I'm trying to find ways to manage overheating and sun exposure (humidity is a massive problem where I am). Other than the wet Buff someone else mentioned I also took a lightweight paper fan and an ultralight UV umbrella on my recent multi-day that I knew would be very exposed in sections (including across sand). I managed to rig up a way to keep the umbrella attached to my pack so I could use it handsfree. I still overheated on the first day because of the humidity so my search for options continues! I hate l/s shirts when it's hot so I always apply sunscreen and carry it with me too.
@@vmorenojr Zpacks, Gossamer Gear, and Six Moon Designs all make lightweight umbrellas that can be used to block sun or rain. These are all small brands from USA but maybe there are other brands in your region.
You covered all the bases with this video! I have most of the types of gear you mentioned, especially my clothing! I did add a sun umbrella to my gear as I’ll be hiking the PCT starting in May. That will give me some shade during those long out in the open sections!! We’ll done!
Thanks for these tips. I’m in Arkansas so it’s hot and humid more than any other condition. Do you have any suggestions for a small fan for the times when there is zero breeze?
About keeping hydrated under the hot summer heat & sun, what do you think about pickle juice? It may sound odd, but I heard it can help against hot weather, heat cramps, and other benefits.
Compared to cotton, would the Sliver Ridge Lite make you hotter while hiking? Synthetic materials sound like they would be hotter to wear while moving, although better for cooling off when standing still and allowing the sweat to wick away.
I just bought a down bag for extreme winter backpacking.. bums me out that you have to buy another down bag for summer can a liner with a cheaper bag or high R value pad allow you to have one sleeping bag for the summer & winter?
Thanks for making this video! I'm looking to get into backpacking and live in the south. Unfortunately, water sources are often dried up or are so dry that there isn't enough water to scoop. Do you recommend packing in water on trips like that or using a filtration system that uses a hose (like a pump filter) so that I can get water even if it's shallow?
How important is it to get SPF treated polyester clothing for sun protection? Do UV rays really go through natural fibers to the point it's necessary? Interesting nonetheless.
Great video, we have a small RUclips channel where we try & inspire young families to get out with their children. We intend doing a similar video but focus on families with children. Take care The Shackletons
Radiation is your enemy. Failure protect your whole body from the sun will damage your skin and can kill you years later. I have spent my 81 years outdoors and my bones and skin have taken a beating, even though I have taken care to protect myself. Many the year I was out for three months at a time. When preparing for a journey, remember you are a nomad. Dress and think like a nomad for the hot environment you will be traveling through. Have you ever seen a photo of a desert dweller or camel driver in shorts and a Tee shirt? They cover every part of their body in a loose weave wool tent like garment for protection from the twin elements of heat and radiation and the near freezing nights and near zero humidity. If you are in an environment of open grassland with no trees and temp of 100 F 38 C and 95% humidity, and nights that don't cool down and no breeze you have a major physiology problem to deal with. Been there and done that. The two examples I gave are the extremes of Heat distress. Paul gives good sound advice in this video on how to avoid heat distress. Never wait until you are thirsty to drink, Measure water in and water out. If you are not peeing or your urine has a strong smell, drink more water. Half your fluid in your body at home comes from the food you eat. Start your evening meal with a pot of watered down soup to make sure you replace your body fluids to prevent dehydration the next day. On a steaming hot day, start early, go late with a rest in the shade during the extreme mid-day heat. And cover up your body. When people ask me about a sleeping bag for the cold, I always ask Define cold. Are you taking about Northern Manitoba or South Florida?

Any more tips for high humidity high heat hikes? Buying stuff rn for a couple days of hiking at garner state park here in Texas and I need guidance

Great video. I recommend adding electrolytes to your water that are not high sugar - use a brand that adds potassium, magnesium, etc.
That is precisely what lead me to trying Nuun electrolyte tablets. I've used them on the last few trips. They don't taste that great, but much better for you.

Lol this guy talking like I'm actually bringing a sleeping bag in the summer (I live in ky). I bring a cotton sheet and a fleece jacket.
What do u sleep on?
@@playdoob hammock or a non- insulated air pad
That sun hoodie looks unbearably warm! The only respite I get in summer is completely submerging myself in a cold river
Great tips! Thanks a lot

Is that silk bag liner wide? especially the foot box?

What is the best type of pad for hot weather ?? Foam or air filled? Air filled with fill?

Hi..Do u put the liner over the quilt or just on top of it?

Ig some of the tips are ok but mostly this is just a buy this overly priced gear for no reason video 🙄
