There is nothing "manly" about TAKING CARE OF YOUR HEALTH!!
I have never been on a job where when I became exhausted from HEAT (because I was young and invincible--which applies to few nutters in this thread), was I ever threatened to "keep working or you're fired".
Outdoor work of ANY KIND in summer HEAT will knock the "toughest -I don need no stinking water- guys" to their knees.
Shake and Bake or Hydrate and Survive.

I'm a dodgy codger yet rarely suffer heat exhaustion for I am not throwing coke or food, just ambling along highways in a well cooled freightshaker.

Moneyman01,
I'm shore by now you halve learnt that GT has some Prison fantasies. They stem from his many years using illicit drugs therefore sometimes (or oft times) he has difficulties discerning reality from dreamland.
He is OUR GT, and while some want to be (like) him, none will ever surpass him.
CHEERS!!
