[QUOTE="Kip Conner, post: 1754, member: 445"] We spend a lot of time discussing all things audio and financial, but we rarely talk about show and shop safety. With most of CONUSA going through some wired off tilted heat wave I think that it would be a good time to open the floor for those who are out in the thicket. What I would like to see is sharing of tips and tricks to survive a long day out in the sun. The long days where you have to load in and soundcheck during the heat, prepare for the summer shower and then last through the evening to get it back on the truck. For instance, I have one show that occurs in the summer and it's brutal. We begin loading in the PA around noon for a 4pm load-in. In the southland, 3pm is the hottest part of the day. You sweat enough to go through 3-4 shirts and then your eyes begin to sting from the excrement salt. Wearing a bandana or sweat band on your head really helps with the constant dripping. I also keep plenty of room temperature bottled water on hand to stay hydrated. What about you guys? [/QUOTE]
