    I grew up on a rice farm in Arkansas. The most dangerously hot I’ve ever been in wading knee deep water in a rice field. The water was like hot bath water. The humidity was high and the wind minimal. There was just no escape from the heat but to quit and go home to cool off. I couldn’t imagine how you would cope in a combat situation where there is no home to get to.

    I work at a navy school in Southern Mississippi. The gap between, "man, I'm hot and feeling this" to, "I don't feel normal" is way bigger than, "I don't feel normal" to, "I can't walk myself to the medic and I can't answer straight questions." Convincing our students to eat a good breakfast and treat hydration as a mission is one of the hardest tasks. The physical demand at this school is not extraordinary, but for most sailors, the heat and humidity are. We put them in armor they're not used to, and put them in the sun, rain, or sometimes both (yes, it happens). In any environment, you must treat proper hydration as a mission in life, or, as I learned it, "hydrate or die." It's even more important in cold or high elevation environments.

    Scuba diving in winter with 7mm wetsuits you learn the difference between cold and hypothermia pretty quick. Cold is when you dive in and your face physically hurts as it cools to the water temp. And water first gets into your wetsuit. Against your back, neck, armpits and junk. Like he said it's not exactly the most comfortable lol Hypothermia is when everything has just gone numb. You are shivering uncontrollably, your fingers are sluggish and dont work properly and you start to struggle to focus and concentrate on tasks.

    @@mattburnett4185 it's easy to recognize the first stages of hypothermia if you know what to look for even while experiencing it. First you get numbness in the extremities with reduced coordination. I've been there and was very conscious of what it was and capable of registering what to do next to get myself into a better situation. It's the latter stages of hypothermia that get tricky because your cognitive faculties decline and your judgement detioriorates. Take action, communicate and plan before it gets to the later stages.

    Prehydrating definitely does not buy 12 hours of high intensity activity in high heat. For many years I was big into bicycle riding. One year I was really trying to dial in my hydration and nutrition plans for longer events. In addition to all the data on power and heart rate, I was measuring my intake of various carbohydrates and electrolytes to find the best ratio for my homebrew drink mix. Part of this was to weigh myself before and after each ride, and to calculate how many ounces of water I drank. It was insane how much weight you can lose from water loss in just a few hours. One day I was only out for about 7 hours on the bike, but it was in the mid-high 90s temperatures and humidity was 100%, the air was hazy and basically everything was damp despite not having rained in a few days. I ride in the mountains, so I spent much of my time riding uphill. Anyways, in 7 hours I consumed 14 24-oz bottles of water, totaling 336 oz. That is 2.6 gallons of water, weighing just over 20 lbs. Even with taking in 20 lbs of water, without stopping for a pee break, I ended the ride weighing 12 lbs less than I started. That's 32 lbs of water weight lost in 7 hours. I drank 2.6 gallons and sweated all of it out, plus another 1.25 gallons. There's absolutely no way I could have gone 12 hours with no water. I actually ended up in the hospital a couple times from running out of food/water during a race, and those events were only a few hours long!

    I grew up in Iceland for part of my childhood. That far north the tides can get pretty extreme. Me and some buddies went out on the rocks when tide was lowest, not realizing we were on a high point. In just a few minutes we were surrounded by arctic water. It was maybe only two hundred yards to the coastline, but it felt like miles. Luckily my grandpa, a fisherman and hunter, had taught us that it’s better to strip off wet clothes than walk in them. It was about a mile to my cousins house, and we ran it in our skivvies. Miserable experience at the time, but a fun and informative experience in hindsight.

    I remember one incident during hell week. It was during a march. We'd just extracted some intel from a location "behind enemy lines" and had started the climb up to the planned evac point on top of this summit. And it was a 8 hour walk. This was in late fall, really close to winter. Up in the northern parts of Norway, where it gets freakishly cold. And leading up to this we had been in a fire fight, and the enemy had chased us in cars and with dogs. After many hours, and a river crossing, we managed to lose them, and we could start moving towards the evac point. As we were walking the guy before me just collapsed on the ground. And for some reason, I was the only one who noticed this. It was pitch black dark, snowing and windy at the same time. So I guess it was easy to miss. Well.. I noticed and sat down next to him to try and help him on his feet. It was then that I noticed that his lips were dark, his eyes were unfocused and he was breathing rapidly. I asked him if he was hurt, what his name was.. all kind of stuff just to keep him engaged in the conversation. I could not let him rest, fearing he could slip out of consciousness. While I was doing this I grabbed his backpack, pulled it off him and sat him down, leaning against it for support. I got his fresh wool layering (thin, breathable long sleeved underwear for cold weather activity), a fresh pair of socks and a meal bar from my survival/med kit. Stripped off his gear and changed him right there. And he was so cold. I could feel how cold his skin was to the touch. While all this was going on, the rest of the guys before and after me had just kept on walking, and since none of them had noticed what was going on, they didn't signal to the front that something was happening. So we were stranded there. Me, the only conscious guy, a guy on the brink of severe hypothermia and two sets of gear (weapons, kit, backpack etc), so there was no way in hell that I would be able to carry both of us, plus the gear. So I called for medic. We had coms we could use, just in case. So I managed to contact the base of operations and they sent two medics asap. They arrived just in time. He was starting to babble incoherently and it was getting really hard to keep him focused. Plus, I was exhausted myself. In the end we made it.. they got him warmed up in a cabin not far from were we were (stationed for this exact reason) and then they got a hold of the rest of our guys and gave us a lift, so that we could continue the climb to the summit. The moral here I guess; is that if you let yourself get dangerously cold like that, not saying anything because everyone is playing hard. You could end up hurting/killing yourself, the guys on your team and also comprise the mission. So it's ok to let the others know. It's not weakness. It actually strength. It's strength in being able to admit when you're beaten a little too much and could use some relief. Others can carry some of your gear for a little while, or help you change in to dry and warm clothes. Still one of the scariest situation, for me, during the whole training. The guy got away with a scare, and he kind of made up for it the next day when the objective was a rescue mission, where we had to enter a building and extract 3 hostages from "bad guys". But that's another story.

    No military background but as a mountain climber this resonated with me. I've seen people bitch about the cold and I've been on teams where we had to recognize when someone was shutting down and get them warmed up. Sometimes it was me. I've also had the misfortune of a dried out creek at an expected water source in the heat and I've complained unnecessarily in poor but easily survivable conditions. The common thread seems to be communicating with the team.

    Closest to dangerously cold I've ever been was backpacking in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in January. Snowshoed all day and set up camp late and didn't do a very good job of it. The two friends I was with, one was in the Army and had good winter equipment, and the other one got a nice job straight out of high school and had plenty of money to spend on fancy outdoor gear. I was a poor college student with a standard camping sleeping bag that was not rated for anything close to as cold as it got. The next morning I was extremely sluggish. Think the hot scrambled eggs and bacon we fixed was the best meal I've ever had.

    I went through classical dramatic arts training, and there is a benefit in "performing" or "rehearsal" in any state of mind, body ect..as by repetition of executing certain "tasks" whilst in a secondary state of mind, it deepens into the memory. I have witnessed phenomena where colleagues had severe flues or other physical issues, couldn't even get out of the chair behind the curtain, but could operate in perfect physical and mental condition "on stage"..meaning that you can project yourself into a secondary state of mind, like a parallel reality. The power of the mind is limitless, for sure can overcome matter, and I am eager to see this tool unravel in a broader part of society.

    Yes, I've been trough that as well. It works when your performance is 1 hour or 2 hours long. You perform the task with flying colours, but after you come off the stage you collaps, because your body has given it all. But military tasks are longer than that, you can't be redlining for 24 hours, you can't do it for a 3 day long mission.

This helps you survive, but comes at a cost. Ultimately it's better to survive injured and gassed out than to die. Limits?

You have repeated your opinion now again by just adding that everything that is beyond the imaginable (no pun intended lol) is something for the fairy world, nice, but rather someting for the poets, than for "real" people. I will not go further into the polemique, because it makes no sense to me to go back and forth, as you made clear that this is the limit of what you believe. And that's okay. But I have to add, there are well documented phoenomena, where mind overcame matter, out of the Parasympathetic state..rather than out of the Flight and Fight state. I encourage you to do some research on your own on this subject, without me being as a person, some kind of rubbing tree. I have no intend to convince you about anything.

    I live where it's 110-120 every summer day and love to outdoor hike/run in the heat. Lived my whole life in it doing it so I believe my body has adapted pretty well. But heatstroke still frightens me. I hear once you get it you are never the same, that it lowers your threshold to get heatstroke again forever. It reminds me of a really bad tendon sprain/tear, where even with the best recovery you know it will never come back all the way, it's always going to be weaker.

I had been bang on all mornin but quickly noticed getting into the afternoon I was pulling my shots like hell and my groups were suddenly hot garbage. Took a mental inventory and realized I was shaking, I wasn't sweating anymore, I was starting to feel kinda cold, etc. There's definitely a fine line between "man the fuck up, make do" and "you're about to become a casualty". The never quit mentality is a great thing if you use it right but that shit can fuck your world up real quick.

    In High School I was in swimming and water polo. After graduating, I became a beach lifeguard. The tryout was two actions. First, a 1000 yard swim in the month of March in the 54° oceanfront water. After the gun, you charge in and hit the icy water and *_Bam,_* you can’t breathe! Your body experiences shock and you are choking, unable to inhale air. No one told me about this. After grinding forward awhile, another unexpected thing happened: all sensation of cold vanished. It was hypothermic shock. After finishing the race, you couldn’t speak. Your speaking mechanism was frozen for about 10 minutes till your body recovered enough. It was a bit of the right-of-passage to become a beach guard.

    I suppose it depends the situation and risk factor. When you're in training the risk factor is "Reasonably Low" because you've got safety factor of instructors and no real threats. So you can afford to increase the risk factor to learn where your limits are and push them a little bit further. When you're on a real deployment you don't want to be taking as much risk, so you don't want to be unprepared and you don't want to not know your limits as well. In the hydration example I guess there's a certain amount of water the body can hold and you can work on it by drinking more water, or like in the cold you can exercise how much cold your body can withstand by standing up to the cold... when its safe.

    Absolutely important to avoid the first heat injury because “heat exhaustion” is like preparation for “heat stroke” and once heat stroke occurs it is like the body being programmed... oh! You wanna keep pushing and not hydrate the machine... and the body seals up like its a learned response to get medical attention... you stop sweating and your temperature soars... now I don’t really believe that your body betrays you like I am expressing but it makes no difference because it happens to happen that way. I thought pushing heat exhaustion was just being strong... tactical error with strategic consequences and lasting health issues. Leadership is absolutely essential concerning heat injury avoidance and keeping troops ready. Multiple heat strokes are similar to concussions one too many and your done. Avoid the first one in the first place if possible and recognize the signs. Great video!!!

    It is definitely and obviously much harder to run in high heat ranges than high cold ranges. With the cold...once you get moving, it's not so bad. With the heat, moving makes it worse, and at a certain point of heat outside, there's no real way to cool yourself down other than stopping completely, looking for shade, and pouring water on yourself. So you have to carefully monitor how hot you are getting, because it tends to only go one direction the entire time, just a matter of how fast
