Extreme Heat Camping
So when you decide to venture out to death valley in August and it is 135, these basic tips might help make your experience a little more enjoyable. I have been in tons of heat camping situations, I even lived in a tent for an uninterrupted 5 months over a summer in the New Mexico Desert. I have discovered a few things about keeping cool. Here is my list of ways to beat the heat:
Become friends with the shade. When I went to New Mexico I used to carry a Tyvek tarp that I put grommets in to make a porta-shade. Tyvek worked out because it is super tough, super light, and white, which helps it diffuse heat. This extra weight was worth the full 13 oz. Along with some 3mm cord, it can be your best friend. Remember that in dry climates the shade can make a 20 degree or more difference.
Keep hydrated. Seems simple, but it isn't always, when you sweat, you lose water, and if it is really hot, the sweat will evaporate so quickly that you may never feel it. So it is imperative that you keep drinking constantly, even if you don't think you need to. In fact, you should know that once you feel thirsty you are starting to get dehydrated. Also when you sweat, you lose electrolytes. If you don't replace them, your body is unable to retain the water you drink. To replace them there are a variety of options, one that I fancy is Camelback Elixir.
Move at night. Moving creates heat, so to keep cool, staying still helps immensely. You should attempt to stay still and in the shade during the hottest time of the day usually 2-5pm. Start your days early. If you can't finish by noon, relax until the evening hours and finish your hike as the heat subsides. Your pack will make you hotter, and so will hiking. If you get stuck be prepared with a book, a deck of cards or something to do.
Dress Light. Keeping cool with good performance clothing from a company like The North Face can help keep you from getting overheated. Something that gives a high UPF rating to help block the sun, and something that is lightweight, breathable, and not too absorbent. Patagonia Clothing also makes Capiline, an excellent product for this purpose.
Put all your fluids inside your pack. Storing your water inside your pack opposed to in the outside mesh pockets may seem inconvenient, but it will keep it out of the sun, so it stays cool all day long. There is almost nothing harder than trying to force yourself to drink steamy hot waterwhen it is 120 degrees and rising.
Find a Breeze. The cooling sensation from a nice cross breeze is actually incredible. Thus, you should try to pick a rest spot where you will get some quality cross wind, it will keep you cool and comfortable, if you've got your porta-shade, it should be easy to find a spot just about anywhere with both shade and a breeze.
Eat cold food. Eating warm food will raise your internal temperature, making you feel hotter than ever. Eating food that does not require heating will help you stay cool. Fruits have a high water ratio also, so they help to cool you off and save you from dehydration.
Cover your head. Wearing a hat is a fantastic option, it protects your head from the sun's rays which is a major influencer in how hot you feel, but it also helps your head stay cool. A quality hat with wicking properties will help keep your head cool and comfortable. For super hot situations where you have lots of available water, you can soak the hat and cool off your head.
Use that bandanna. A bandanna to cover your neck can be very beneficial. take a white or lightly colored one to cast off the sun, and get it wet if you have enough water, keeping your head and neck cool will help more than anything else.
Adventures in the desert can be great if you know how to deal with the harsh environment. The desert has its own brand of beauty and serenity. As Edward Abbey said, “Strolling on, it seems to me that the strangeness and wonder of existence are emphasized here, in the desert, by the comparative sparsity of the flora and fauna: life not crowded upon life as in other places but scattered abroad in spareness and simplicity, with a generous gift of space for each herb and bush and tree, each stem of grass, so that the living organism stands out bold and brave and vivid against the lifeless sand and barren rock. The extreme clarity of the desert light is equaled by the extreme individuation of desert life-forms.”

Is it cool if I make youtube videos and don't show my face?
I want to make youtube videos about television show reviews and go on rants about issues and stuff but I don't want to show my face I want to wear like a bandanna over my face or something.
only reason why is because some people on the internet become obsessed with other users when they post videos and stuff and they make videos humiliating them, it happened to a friend of mine and a few others I know.
If you're afraid to show your face then don't post anything on the Internet.
