What's the best / fastest way to cool down if you think you've become overheated?

The first thing I do is remove all of my clothing. If I happen to be already naked (and there is a good chance of that) I get under the water hose. Will cool you right down.Sweet100s said:What's the best / fastest way to cool down if you think you've become overheated?Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

I usually run cold water over my hands, seems to cool me down pretty quick.
Likewise when I'm cold, doing dishes by hand seems to warm me up even quicker than a hot shower.___________"We are currently clear on OPSEC..."

drink water, ice packs under both arm pits, a couple more between your groin.

Frog Towels help. Use mine a lot. If you're already officially overheated move to shade, cool towels around wrists, neck, head. Most importantly to begin with is to stay well hydrated. Sodas are not your friend.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

I think maybe everyone misunderstood the nature of your question.
When things get overheated, it's usually caused by friction, so I use a lubricant.
Hope this helps. Really.

BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe.
Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

@SGH do you play the bongosSalado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Just given a Mini to add to the herd.

Ice your balls... that will change your perspective in a hurry.
But seriously, I'm an old farm kid. When we would come out of the barn at over 100 degrees, we would soak our forearms in the cattle tank of cold artesian water that came out of the ground at around 50 degrees. That always seemed to help a lot. I wouldn't recommend dumping cold water over your head - could send you into shock.L x2, M, S, Mini and a Blackstone 36.

Oh my goodness...
SGH, remember how I said I wish I were your neighbor?
Well, I still do :-). It's just that my delicate sensibilities might get re-shaped... transformed... mutated...
Cold shower helped. Followed by ice bags in arm pits and behind neck. Don't have gatorade. Had water and now an iced tea with lemon and lime. -

Drink cool not cold water, do an ice bucket challenge over your head but pour cold water slowly and make sure you are near a fan that can move some serious air over large swaths of acreage of your bare skin. Since i weigh 270 finding lots of acres is no problem for me....
