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.

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.

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.

Last month, Environmental Working Group published a list of sunscreens that are safe to use. Many popular brands, including some from Johnson & Johnson, weren’t on it. Now J&J is recalling 5 of its products.
From Yahoo:
Johnson & Johnson Recalls Select Neutrogena and Aveeno Sunscreens Due to Benzene Levels
Johnson & Johnson is recalling five of its Neutrogena and Aveeno aerosol sunscreen products due to low levels of benzene, a chemical that can cause cancer with repeated exposure.
On Wednesday, the company issued a statement announcing a voluntary recall and urged consumers to discard the products if they had already purchased them. The Neutrogena aerosol sunscreens that have been recalled are the Beach Defense, Cool Dry Sport Invisible Daily and Ultra Sheer varieties, in addition to Aveeno’s Protect + Refresh spray sunscreen.
Consumers can receive a refund by calling Johnson & Johnson’s Consumer Care Center at at 1-800-458-1673.
“While benzene is not an ingredient in any of our sunscreen products, it was detected in some samples of the impacted aerosol sunscreen finished products,” the pharmaceutical giant said of internal testing. “We are investigating the cause of this issue, which is limited to certain aerosol sunscreen products.”
A human carcinogen, benzene can potentially cause cancer depending on the level and extent of exposure.
Johnson & Johnson is not having a good summer. Last month, the company settled its opioid lawsuit with the state of New York and announced it was leaving the opioid business. More recently the CDC issued a warning about a health risk associated with the company’s COVID vaccine.

Over the last twenty years, there has been a dramatic increase in people concerned and investigating what would happen if the grid failed, as well as apocalyptic events.
