Summer in Eastern North Carolina doesn't care about your schedule.

When the heat index pushes past 100, the work still has to get done, and how you handle those days is the difference between a crew that finishes the season strong and one that falls apart by August.

In this episode, Zac breaks down 5 ways to beat the heat on a landscaping crew: why hydration starts the night before, why long sleeves beat short sleeves in full sun, what a real break looks like (hint: it's not a cigarette and a Monster), how to use electrolytes the right way, and the warning signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke that every crew member needs to recognize in themselves and each other.

Whether you run the crew or ride in the truck, this one could keep you or the guy next to you out of the ER.
