The chart you showed which gives an indication of Hydration reminded me of a story. When I was the General Manager of a Mine site, my Safety Officer placed these charts in the Lavatories, just above the Urinals. When he saw me on site he mentioned that he placed the chats up. I said I saw that, but there was a slight problem. He said , "Oh, what's the problem?" I said " No matter how much I tried, I couldn't urinate high enough to do a comparison" 🤣🤣 I got him! True story. Cheers
Ahahahaha! I would have loved to see his face. Good one, Moz.
If you wait until you're thirsty to drink, then you're already behind in the amount of water you need. I've been dehydrated before on the spyder and it's no joke and I learned my lesson.... It can cause AFib symptoms...
And lead to heat stroke not very nice situation to end up in🫡🇺🇸🌵
Well said! Check on your friends when riding with them in the heat. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I don't care for the sports drinks myself.... But sometimes I will add some to my water and dilute the sports drink.Luckily I have my bottle holder on the side of the spyder so I can take drinks pretty frequently... usually just water.
You have the perfect setup to hydrate while motoring on down the road. If there's anyone that knows this topic, it's you. You two have done some serious riding in the heat 🥵!
Monday morning will be about 60F here and up to 75F by lunchtime. Still warm enough to need a lot of water. I can stomach lemon-lime Gatorade if it's cold. Horrible warm. Dehydration is easy to get on a motorcycle. Especially with mesh jackets. I always wondered why desert riders wear full jackets with only vents. Keeps more moisture in. Wicks slower. And you feel the cooling better. I guess there are lots of tricks.
I just drink a lot of water. Freeze a couple bottles to always have something cold. Stop a lot.
Good reminders Eric. Thanks for sharing them.
It's going to be a tough trip for me next week. The heat index is terrible down here. As always, I'm trying to get folks to ride safe. :)
Liquid IV is another great powder mix for water that works great.
I love pickle juice and keep bottles of it around 😎👍
I'll have to look into that brand. Thanks for the heads up!
Great advice. I’ve learned the hard way that there is no catching back up once it’s too late.
Keep Kraken
That is 100% correct. When you get behind the curve, you're already screwed. Thanks for stopping by, brother!
People don't realize how much dehydration slows down your mental functions like ability to recognize and react quickly to changing circumstances. It really is a silent killer. And caffeine is also dehydrating so if people are stopping for caffeinated drinks on long rides they should also be hydrating with that. Good on ya for sharing this.
Just an old rider sharing the mistakes I've made over the years. Thanks for the reply in kind.
I learned a few things, and perfect timing for this subject with the current heat wave 😁👍👍
It's going to be crazy hot over the next week. Stay hydrated no matter what you're doing.
Great lesson. I will have to get some of those Gatorade packs to go in the bottled water.
Even when fishing in this heat. Stay cool!
Another good topic with good information. I suffered severe dehydration effects after a 800km ride one day. I realised what a twit I had been when I worked out I’d only had one cup of tea, one coffee and 600ml of water! I learned real quick!
You’ve obviously been in the Sun, looking tanned. Enjoy your ride next week.
Thank you, Brian. I'm just sharing the mistakes I've made over the years. Off the beaten path topics seems to be my thing. 😂
Hello from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 very good video sharing,
Welcome, John. Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting!
@KrakensGarageandAdventures your welcome and have a very nice weekend and stay in contact 🔔
Very timely. We have a group ride tomorrow and it's going to be hot!!!!
Heat advisory here tomorrow. Be safe and have fun!
Really good topic at the right time of the year. Because my fuel ranges are only 125-150 miles I am normally stopping for gas and i'll usually drink water, sports drink, or even body armor. Like today I road around 380 miles in about 6 hours and I pounded 28 oz of body armor, 16 oz of water, 16 oz of power aid and topped it off 10 miles from the house with a monster. LOL.. I normally like the grape or berry flavors but good idea on the tablets you mentioned. BTW one thing to mention isn't just the temperature outside people need to be concerned with...they also need to factor in the humidity as a very humid day will drain the liquids you intake faster than on a dry heat any day!!!
You make a solid point about the humidity. I had much more to say on this topic, but the video was getting way too long already. Thanks for stopping by!
Timely topic as the crew was out riding yesterday with 93 degree weather. 👍💯
It was 97 here with a heat index of 105. 🔥
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures Thats today’s forecast. Which means poolside. 🤣
Key point is being hydrated BEFORE the ride like the night before… What helps me is veggies like cucumber, green bell peppers with some seasoning etc Also Electrolytes Electrolytes Electrolytes!!! And these are coming from a previous Heat casualty as we call it in the Service… Also some kind of nuts(almonds, pecans, peanuts) all salted of course. Salt helps with water retention and thats why Saudis(mostly) carry salt with them when travelling with camels similar to sugar cubes… Great video Eric Last Wednesday we hit 114 here and today we got our first rain as far as monsoon season… Absolutely no riding for me in the heat… Also the water has to be in room temp to quench you NOT cold.
And again great share buddy !!🫡🇺🇸🌵
A much more organic way to handle dehydration. Great job, Bobby. You good folks get some hella heat out your way. Ride safe!
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures triple digits after this week for a week then it looks like its cooling off… Enjoy your Independence Day my friend
Great topic Eric. In extremely hot weather, I try to avoid riding as heat exhaustion can increase the likelyhood of mistakes.
You are so correct. We have been hit with a serious heat wave of late. Thanks for stopping by, Matt.
Words of wisdom from Uncle Kraken! I had no idea Mt Olive (which is just 30 miles north of me) sold those “Pickle Juicers”. Last time I had pickle juice someone bought a round of something shots at the bar and it came with shots of pickle juice for chasers lol. Great PSA!
Believe it or not, many athletes use pickle juice for hydration and also prevent cramps. I forgot to mention that in the video. But it was getting too long anyway.
Very true info, Eric. Very important to monitor hydration in all life not just riding but as you are aware it’s a crap more dangerous when riding. Cheers Smithy
It sure is. I hope this small tip helps a few folks. Thanks for stopping by.
Very important topic Eric for riding and concentration levels in the heat 😎👌
As always, I'm sharing info about all the mistakes I've made over my lifetime. Thanks for stopping by, BB!
Solid aptly timed intel right there 👍
I have another epic scooter trip coming in this heat on Monday. While I was packing, I thought about this topic.
Some of the best advice here. Thanks for sharing Eric. God knows it hot as hell out right now 💯💯💯💯
It's been blistering hot here in VA. The older I get, the less I can take the heat 🥵!
Top topic. I usually have a 2L camel pack on my back. And it’s amazing how much of it I will consume in summer on rides longer than 1hr.
You are a wise man, Stef. Thanks for stopping by, bother.
Good idea to carry something like that. It's pretty hot here and just a ride to work or around town really gets the sweat going.
Another small tip to try and help a few folks. :)
Mmmmm Pickle juice. Hahahaha. I hope the summer is pleasant mate. Nice to hear these kinds of health based videos. Thanks for sharing mate.
Thank you, Chewie. It's bloody hot these days. What we call the dog days of summer. I hope you and Maryanne stay warm and toasty this winter.
This is great info Eric!!! Most people are dehydrated or starting to dehydrate most of the time. I've found ensuring I am well hydrated a few days before a trip or prolonged heat exposure helps too. 2 or 3 days before the trip start ensuing you are drinking the recommended amount of water daily and staying away from alcohol (or keeping it to a minimum) and other known things that can lead to dehydration. Starting at a deficit is not good and you will be playing catchup all day. Ride safe!!!!
I couldn't agree more with your reply. I wanted to touch on the caffeine and alcohol issue, but the video was roo long already. Thanks for stopping by, bother.
What a great topic. Something very prevalent to us as you know. Pottsy only having one kidney we have to be very equipped with hydration. In Australia we have Hydralite - same sort of product as you shown here. It gives instant hydration to the body. We have had many circumstances on the bike where Pottsy is ok one minute then instantly weak, light headed and sleepy - almost like a morphine drugged effect. Now that , on a road two up is dangerous. Like you said, it’s good to know the signs of hydration for your body.
Thankyou for another great informative vlog 👍🏼❤️
It's an often overlooked problem for riding in the heat. As always, I'm trying to share the mistakes I've made in my lifetime. Thank you for the continued support. 🙏
Hi Eric... Some great advice here... I am guilty of not paying attention to my hydration needs on theses hot days... This will help remind me to pack and drink water before its a problem... It was also nice to see that beautiful 946 in the background... Stay cool buddy!
I'm glad it was helpful, Mark. I just got back from a tour of Pennsylvania on the 946. I'll be posting about that trip in the near future! 🛵💨🦑
great info Eric. I keep a cup holder on my bike. I ride with an insulated cup that can keep water cold between gas stops (which is usually when my 55 year old body needs to spring a leak). Keeping hydrated on long, hot days is very important.
It's very important. The older I get, the less I can take the heat. I'm just sharing what works for me and serving a gentle reminder to folks to stay hydrated. Thanks for stopping by!
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures The spouse of a local rider fell off the back of the bike due to heat exhaustion. This is a very important topic that everyone needs to take seriously.
Great video. Good stuff. Pickle Juice ? That’s a new one to me, i would probably like that. NicelY Done. Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇦🇺
Thanks for watching. I'm just sharing a small tip to help folks riding on the heat. Thanks for stopping by!
I agree, they all taste either bland, or nasty. I don't like drinking beverages like Gator Aid, they are mostly sugar water and salt. I haven't seen the brand you mention here, I will have to try them now that it is summer. We have been getting our normal temps, mid to upper 90s, not to mention heat index, and dehydration can happen quicker than most folks think. Well done, Erik!
It had been smoking hot here lately in VA. The older I get, the less I can take the heat. Ride safe.
Great topic Eric !
Haha. The way I used to ride in the 1980’s,
Drink while riding ??? If I drink anything that means I have to stop for a washroom break … oh to be young and dumb again.
I don't know how I stayed alive back then... I'm right there with you. Craig.
Kracking info Eric. Those tabs are something I'm going to look into now so thank you for that alone! I don't drink enough in general so this is a good reminder on the whole topic. 😎😀
They taste awful but get the job done. Ride safe, Duncan.
Great tip. Thanks Eric
Thank you, Larry.
Great topic! Never heard any other moto channel discuss this vital issue. The Nuun tablets are a great suggestion. I’d cut or break a few tablets in half to cover the duration of the trip. Rock the Rockies ‘24 postponed until August. I’ll have the Nuun regime laid on! Cheers, mon ami!
I'm sorry to hear the Rockies was postponed. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on this trip when you get home. Many thanks for the continued support.
Always good to carry a small pouch of Celtic salt just a couple grains will help!!! Of course covering up and not riding with bare arms helps!!! I use my Yeti as it keeps it cool for hours!! Electrolytes are excellent just a grain of salt works!!
Somehow I knew you had this issue covered! 👌 Happy Canada Day!
Very good info Eric, thanks for sharing 👊🏼
Thank you, sir!
You're exactly right - can really sneak up on you, and you've got some great advice in this. Thanks mate.
Another small tip. Thank you, Nic.
All good information and a good psa to get out. I know when I’m getting close to dehydration I try not to drink really cold water it takes longer to get into your system. Lot more options out there now but when I was racing you really had to stay on top of it.
I should have mentioned that room temp water is better for you. The video was (as always) getting way too long. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Let me tell ya, water is definitely important if you plan to ride around the desert in Arizona, Nevada, Utah, California. Those temperatures will get to you fast.
You just returned from the oven of America. Great advice, Nore!
Been there done that hahahah and thats why I dont ride in the heat no mo
Great topic and perfect timing!
Thank you! I'll find out how timely next week! 🛵💨🦑
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures yes, you surely will!
I use propel and gatorade drink packets fron grocery stores. All electrolytes and about $4 to $5 for 10. Very tasty
I'll have to give those a try. Thanks for the heads up!
Such a great reminder Mate, thank you.
Thank you. I really appreciate your comment.
I just ordered some that came in packets. I got really dehydrated the other day doing some work outside at home. My wife had me order some of the electrolyte packets to have at home and to have in the bike. Nice video Eric 👍
Stick with it. They really do work. Ride safe, Roy!
Great topic Eric especially for this week. Went for a ride the other day and it was a scorcher 🥵. I might have to look into those hydration tablets, they seem very convenient 🙂🏍️👍
Your local grocery store should carry sport drink mixes called Propel. It has been crazy hot here in VA.
Great one & oddly enough the Less skin exposure the better when its hot/dry. Now im thirsty lol
You are so right. I had mich more to dhare but the video was getting way too long. I wanted to mention sports drinks combat cramps as well.
Pickle juice? I'm glad you explained that, I thought you were talking about what you could drink if you're in the desert with no water. 😝 😅
I carry a water bottle, however I was thinking about carrying a camel pack that hold about 4 litres (1 gallon) of water, which can be sipped on through a tube while riding. I'm just not sure if I want to add 4kg of additional weight on my back.
Very good subject, Eric.
Ride well and safe travels next week. Cheers
Lol
I'm just sharing a few lessons I learned the hard way. It's good to hear that you're well prepared to hydrate. Ride safe, Moz!
I hate pickles. When I was a kid and sick one time. My moms voodoo dr told her to give me pickle juice and describe the face I make. It was horrible and had the mumps. Anyway. Good Info. I am very bad with this. I'm one of those guys that slam water and that does nothing for me, except makes me feel bloated. I need to run to REI. I've never gotten bad on the road but cramping after the fact from dehydration has kicked my butt. Great share.
I'm hope it helps you in your travels, Jerry!
I drink about 4 litres of water every day but that doubles if I am travelling, on the bike or walking. I only drink water at room temperature too.
You're a wise man! The older I get, the more I have to stop and check. Awareness is the key. Thanks for stopping by, King OO 🤴
Drink cucumber water.
Of course it is all subjective if you like it or not.
It is healthier than sports drinks, and the slight cucumber flavor does not stay in your mouth for hours like the sugary sports drinks.
Take care Eric, ride safe. ☯
Thanks for the tip. Ride safe, Paul.
I keep telling Jobu to stay hydrated,.. but I think we have a communication gap, he just keeps ending up drunk.
😂😂😂
I concentrate on hydration constantly. I had a few occasions while delivering mail that I became dehydrated. I DO NOT want to experience that while riding!! I always carry drinks with me when riding, even if it’s just a short ride….
You are a smart man. Great job on the self-awareness, Patrick!
I used to play golf in Palm Springs in August. Every even hole was a bottle of water and on the odd hole was a 16oz Gatorade. At the end of the 36 hole day - you could still tell that you were dehydrated.
I wonder how they, the tablets, would do at dinner with adding them to a large vodka tonic? lol.
Good heavens, that must have been really hot. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. 🙌
I played one summer with 119F°.
You can never be too hydrated when you’re exposed to the heat - good points as always Eric! And timely
Another great video Eric. I always have my Yeti filled with water while I ride.
Thank you, Cathy. I'm always happy to see a comment from you. I hope your grand baby is doing well.
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures We are enjoying her very much than you Eric.
Great video. I am retired now but I used to have a job where I worked outside in Texas. It was definitely hot in the summer. I never have been good about drink enough water while in the heat or anytime. I usually have a 32-ounce mug filled with water available with me all the time. One of my problems is I still enjoy a little Dr. Pepper every day which I know is NOT good for me. Even though I know the effects of not drinking enough water your video made me really think I need to improve on my water intake.
On another note, on the tablets you have, could you break it in half and then maybe it would go into a 16 oz water bottle? I'm going to buy some of them and try them out. Thanks again for making more content.
You sure could break them in half and store them in the tube it comes in. That's a great idea! Thank you so much for letting me know some of my content is useful. It means a lot to me.
First. Yewwwww
Winner, winner, chicken 🐓 dinner! 🙌
Great points. I made the decision not to ride yesterday just because it was too hot (riding just to ride, no errands involved or anything pressing). I’m also worried about other drivers who just get in their cars and are focused on getting it cooled down and not always on what’s ahead of them on the road, or those who refuse to turn on their car’s AC because of the extra consumption of gas. Distractions and short tempers get mixed together.
I’m sure that doesn’t happen a lot, but if my gut tells me it’s not a good time to ride, I try to listen to it. Is there an expiration date for the electrolyte tablets?
To my knowledge, there's no expedition on the brand I chose. I like these because they stow easy on the bike. Thanks for stopping by.
Great info here, Eric - dehydration was a big factor in me just about falling out at VAMM23. Won't happen this year - I know better. Those tablets are a GREAT idea, gonna pick some of those up! I wonder if you can use a pill cutter or knife to cut them to fit a regular water bottle?
I'm sure you could. They also make powdered versions. The tablets are easy for me to stow on a bike.
🤔🏍️👍👍
Mighty Moe in the house!
Top topic. I usually have a 2L camel pack on my back. And it’s amazing how much of it I will consume in summer on rides longer than 1hr.
