First Heatstroke of the Year

[Dean Lofthouse]

Came home today with heatstroke.

 

It's the thing I hate about summer.

 

It was a conifer job, one of those you think you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

 

The coffees weren't flowing but they did have an outside tap thank god. Kept putting my head under running water, but still came home with a pounding head that hasn't gone yet.

 

Good tip is to take off your boots during your lunch break. Although I didn't today, just been caught out thinking it wouldn't be as hot as it has been.

 

Tomorrows a 22 degreer so take you cool boxes guys

Similar here. Seriously regretted not taking some shorts to wear at lunch break and after the job. My new stretch airs aren't as cool as I had hoped.

 

Shame no-one has devised a safe way of having zippable vents on the legs that you can open when not using a saw....

huskies have zips at the back, they help a lot

Never knew that! I retract my previous statement.

I've had some peculiar looks off customers when inserting the blower down my kecks. Beautifully fresh feeling though

Wearing a camelbak at work in summer helps heaps. it gets a bit hot on your back but is still definetly worth it to prevent heat stroke

worse than that, my Mars bar melted today!!! I HATE that!

If it helps I was sat at home in my shorts, fan full blast drinking an ice cold beverage.

I love sitting at home, rain blasting against the window, thinking, "Glad I don't have to work in this" with a hot cuppa in my hands.
