Make sure you stay well hydrated! It is a tricky thing. Gatorade is pretty thick which makes it harder for your system to absorb. If you want to dilute it, use club soda. The carbonation makes it easier for you to absorb. Me, if I was there in that heat, I would need 2 to 3 gallons of fluids, and I wouldn't have to pee.... You need salt which is the first electrolyte to deplete on just about every one. If you start cramping, time to go home, and continue taking in electrolytes so you don't wake up at night with cramps. Hate that.....

Hey, Payton just wanted to say congratulations on the verified check I noticed that a week ago. Loving the weird bait videos as always and also love that you showed the softshell turtle because they are really cool but when they aren't what you want to catch you look past them. My first guess on the eels price per pound was going to be $30 but as I've scrolled through the comments I see that I was a little high on the price. The last thing is I finally uploaded a video on my channel and I know I said I would a long time ago but what do you put for the category of the video when uploading? I put it as entertainment but I could see how it could be "Animals & Pets", "Science & Technology", or "Education". Just wanted to see if you had any clue what works and even for keywords of the channel in the settings.
