Grateful that my close calls have been learning experiences that did not end up in ER. Oh Corina - you must get hiking poles! We've been using them for at least 15 years. The downhill setting is spring-loaded, and supposedly reduces shock on the knees by 30%. Also great for crossing creeks and the occasional snow field. I credit the poles with why we can still do major hikes without needing a bottle of ibuprofen:)robkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16450237498352459594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612862199192033310.post-38355500208332442372016-07-27T08:05:50.007-07:002016-07-27T08:05:50.007-07:00Reminds me of the Swiss Alps especially the deep v...Reminds me of the Swiss Alps especially the deep valleys. You dodged a bullet on that one. We heard of a little boy who later died from heat exhaustion while on a hike. Scary. Glad she is OK. Once at Burning Man I got heat exhaustion and the Black Rock Ranger made me sit in the shade for an hour while he poured water on me and made me drink electrolytes to cool down my core temperature. I wasn't even throwing up but I was feeling really weird and had a thought "Am I getting too hot?" Glad it all turned out OK. Whew. (Isn't that odd how the body does that throwing up thing? You'd think it would want to keep moisture in. Maybe it's trying to off load internal heat.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612862199192033310.post-50194983876239673282016-07-27T07:32:24.284-07:002016-07-27T07:32:24.284-07:00Thanks for this, Ann.
