One of the worst natural disasters in the history of our country is unfolding right in front of our eyes. In the entire history of the United States, we have never seen heat in the western third of the nation like we have in 2021. In the entire history of the United States, we have never seen drought in the western third of the nation like we have in 2021. Needless to say, countless numbers of farmers and ranchers are deeply suffering because of the heat and drought, and it is being projected that this is going to be one of the worst years for wildfires that we have ever experienced. As you will see below, this crisis is being compared to Hurricane Katrina, but Hurricane Katrina only lasted for a few days. The crisis that we are now facing has already stretched on for many months, and there is no end in sight.
Let me start by discussing the record-breaking heat. Yet another heat wave is baking the western third of the nation right now, and it is being reported that the high temperature in Death Valley actually reached 130 degrees on Friday…
On Friday, the temperature at Death Valley soared to 130 degrees, breaking the previous daily record high of 129 set back in 1913, according to the National Weather Service. This reading comes within 4 degrees of the all-time world record of 134 F set there in 1913. The 134-degree mark happens to be the world record for the highest temperature ever measured on Earth.
Unfortunately, things didn’t really cool off during the weekend. The high temperature in Death Valley was 129 degrees on Saturday, and it was expected that the same high temperature would be hit on Sunday…
AccuWeather expected the temperature in Death Valley to reach 129 degrees Sunday, which would tie for the daily record high. Death Valley hit the same temperature Saturday. The world record high is 134 degrees.
Forecasters called for Las Vegas to hit another all-time high, as it did Saturday with a temperature of 117 degrees.
On Saturday, St. George, Utah, also hit 117, setting another tie for an all-time high, according to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City.
There are moments every summer when conditions get really hot, but so far this summer the heat has been absolutely relentless. The extremely high temperatures that we have witnessed this month follow the hottest June that the continent of North America has ever experienced…
Researchers have confirmed what millions of Americans and Canadians who just endured scorching temperatures probably already suspected: Last month was the hottest June on record in North America.
The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), an agency supported by the European Union, said that average surface temperatures for June in North America were about one-quarter of a degree Fahrenheit (0.15 of a degree Celsius) higher than the average for June 2012, the previous record-holder.
At the same time, there has been very little meaningful precipitation in the western third of the nation this summer, and the latest map from the U.S. Drought Monitor is the worst that I have ever seen.
The state of Utah is being hit particularly hard, and one official is openly admitting that this is “the worst drought in the state of Utah’s history”…
That official, Dave Ure, speaking just after a tour of waterworks facilities in Summit County, put the situation in stark terms.
“We are in the worst drought in the state of Utah’s history right now, and the only thing compared to it is the droughts back in 1895 and 1933,” Ure said.
If you don’t live in the western third of the nation, it is going to be difficult for you to grasp how desperate things are becoming.
This isn’t just a drought. What we are witnessing right now is a mega-disaster of epic proportions, and scientists are telling us not to expect relief for the foreseeable future.
Farmers and ranchers are having a particularly difficult time. They can’t operate successfully without water, and one rancher in Utah told Fox News that this crisis is “going to equal or surpass the amount of people that that were impacted by Hurricane Katrina”…
Ron Gibson manages 1,500 head of cattle in Northern Utah but may soon lack the resources to sustain his herd. Scorching temperatures and the absence of rain have created a depletion in feed supply for cattle farmers like Ron. With watering rights in his area cut about 70% in efforts to preserve the water supply, more farmers are forced to outsource their feed, and the high demand has driven up the price four times greater than usual.
“When we look at the amount of impact that this kind of disaster is going to have on the country, it’s going to equal or surpass the amount of people that that were impacted by Hurricane Katrina,” he told Fox News.
Hurricane Katrina absolutely devastated one major city, but this crisis threatens to cripple one-third of the entire nation.
The longer the drought drags on, the lower water levels get, and at this point reservoir levels are getting dangerously low…
Reservoir levels are dropping throughout the West, as the drought tightens its grip on the region and intense summer heat further stresses both water supply and the surrounding landscape. Many reservoirs are at or approaching historic low levels due to lackluster rainy seasons combined with increasing temperatures due to climate change.
The drought crisis is perhaps most apparent in the Colorado River basin, which saw one of its driest years on record, following two decades of less-than-adequate flows. The nation’s largest reservoir, Lake Mead near Las Vegas, is at its lowest level since the lake filled after the construction of the Hoover dam in the 1930s; it currently sits at 1,069 feet above sea level, or 35% of its total capacity. It supplies water to Arizona, Nevada, California and Mexico.
Water restrictions have already been implemented in many areas, but if this drought persists we are eventually going to see water restrictions that are far more draconian than we have ever seen before.
Needless to say, a lot of people living in the region won’t like that at all.
Of course the hot, dry conditions have also created an ideal environment for wildfires, and right at this moment hundreds of thousands of acres are currently burning…
More than 300,000 acres are burning across six states across the western United States on Sunday as the region battled yet another brutal heat wave that shattered records and strained power grids.
The largest, the so-called Bootleg Fire, burned across 143,607 acres in Oregon and was 0% contained. Officials in neighboring state California asked all residents to reduce power consumption quickly after the fire knocked out interstate power lines, preventing up to 4,000 megawatts of electricity from flowing into the state.
We are being told that this is going to be one of the worst years for wildfires in our history, and it may end up topping the list by the time it is all said and done.
This isn’t just a “bad summer” we are talking about.
What we are facing is a crisis that is unprecedented in size and scope, and scientists are telling us that it isn’t going to end any time soon.

If you’d rather be out hunting as soon as you can, having a few tips up your sleeve on staying cool in the summer will come in handy in having a productive hunt. Here is what to keep in mind.
RELATED: Deer Hunting For Beginners: How To Get Started
This is a no-brainer. Besides making hunting more effortless and enjoyable, it saves you from the hazardous effects of standing in scorching weather. Hunting in hot weather increases your energy consumption leading to sweat and therefore scents that are likely to throw off deer and other animals.
To avoid this, try a tree canopy or a tree stand. However, keep in mind that you will need to adjust your position since the sun changes angles as the day passes. Better yet, you can opt for a DIY or high-quality pre-made hunting blind. Either option will provide you with a consistent shade and offer floor space for accessories to make your hunt more comfortable.
Tip: Here, you can bring along a pressure relief chair, a drinks cooler, and insect repellant.
Many hunters make the mistake of wearing too many layers when hunting in summer. As a result, you become exhausted and sweaty, which affects your ability to meet your bag limit. However, a base layer will be more than enough during hot weather as long as you steer clear of short sleeves and shorts.
Besides having an excellent wicking system, high-quality long sleeves and long pants will help keep harmful UVA and UVB rays off your skin. And keep bug bites at a minimum. If you must wear short-sleeve T-shirts and shorts, be sure to pack some sunscreen and bug repellant.
A wide-brim hat or a light, breathable gaiter will help protect your head and neck from direct sunlight. Polarized sunglasses will also come in handy.

Staying hydrated during a hunting trip helps keep headaches and fatigue at bay, thereby allowing you to hunt longer. In such hot weather, you don’t have to wait until you are thirsty to hydrate. A few sips now and then will maintain your hydration levels.
Pack more bottles of ice water than you need to sip on throughout the day. Better still, consider a backpack with an internal bladder system for a more compact carriage.
Tip: Sports drinks or fruit juices make great mid-hunt snacks to keep your electrolytes in check.
Controlling your sweat and hence scent has to be the hardest thing to do when hunting in summer. Luckily for you, there are numerous products and tools in the market today to help you be sweat-free and therefore eliminate your scent.
Liberally spray your clothes with a scent-eliminating spray before you start hunting and top up as much as you need throughout the day. Besides fighting off your natural scent, the spray will also help you stay cool.
Scent eliminating wipes are also a great alternative if you do not want to use the sprays. They are great for your neck, face and other exposed parts. Don’t shy away from packing a little more than you need. If anything, they are compact hence easy to carry around.
It is normal to want to hit your bag limit during every hunting session. However, overexerting yourself will lead to increased body temperature due to the loss of water and electrolytes. This increases your risk of suffering heatstroke, which can be fatal.
To be on the safe side, avoid unnecessary energy consumption, pace yourself, and prepare yourself adequately. Remember, hunting should be more fun than it is draining.
Watch this video by Chris Bee on deer hunting in summer:
Keep in mind that deer and other game animals are experiencing summer the same way you are. Like humans, the animals will also be taking it easy to conserve their energy. Take advantage of their predictable behavior and set up close to their bedding and drinking spots to increase your chances of reaching your bag limit without having to overexert yourself.
