Good job Darren!

Hydration is very important this time of the year in our area.

A few years back we had a visiting PG pilot from some other area, I believe it was from some place like maybe CO.?

Anyway, he collapse’s his wing out in front of Marshall launch, down 300′. He gets back to launch, takes the ride down to the LZ, totally exhausted from the event,  and is left there with his friends.

Now he’s starting to shiver and shake from heat exhaustion. It was summer time.

We get him in the shade, we give him cold water, and tell his buddies, go get gatorade, mountain dew soda at the local Circle K, and get back here pronto.

They do, he drinks it all, and it work out fine.

He was definitely going south into heat stroke!

I’ve use this several times over the years for myself, and my cycling friends when we use to do century rides, when someone bonked.

Just carry some extra water, when you fly, it will only help when you need it the most & in an emergency!

Fly Safe!
