A Cooler Dress. Efficient Hand Fans and Umbrellas. Techniques.
Heat Relief Knowledge test!
It is 108 F, 42 C, under the clear sky near the equator at midday - it doesn't get much worse.
The action time in comfort, with the outfit below left is, after leaving good AC, is, I say, a mere 10 minutes.
How many outfit suggestions do you have for better temperature comfort?
I have over twenty in my reports!
Some are divided in several steps (which each gives a noticeable difference) like: "Wear short sleeve shirt." "Wear ...... shirt."
For what you can't see, e.g. socks, assume the worst case in the circumstances. So don't assume Long johns.
Each suggestion is worth about 0.8 degree F, or 0.4 degree C, drop in perceived temperature.
E.g. 6 suggestions=5 F, 3 C.
10 suggestions=8 F, 4 C.
20 suggestions=16 F, 8 C.
My suggestions are sustainable techniques. It is not about some gadgets you have to regenerate in a freezer now and then.
Hopefully the suggestions will make hot places like the tropicts more accessible for more people.
I saw on TV the survival guy Bear Gryll
He headed out into the desert. He had to drink his own urine in a snake skin.
Had he worn the right color of dress and carried a couple of important survival items he may have made it without that drink.
(As I wasn't there I don't know what he drank.) |

Beat the heat with the right dress, tools and techniques
Comfortable in the heat and everything in the pockets on a half month European tour.
For Heat Relief there are many steps you can apply. Twenty more than FEMA, see below, suggests. |
* I am using FEMA's guidelines as the benchmark.
Eco Friendly. Eco Solution.
Less sweating means less showering and washing of clothes. Less need for air conditioning or electric fans. Less weight of clothes, typically half, means considerably less resources are needed for manufacturing, transport, washing and disposal.
"A comfort collection for the hot catwalk of life"
2. Master the art of packing light and compact! Put all in the pockets if you like!
Searching "how to pack light" gave 190 000 hits with Google. "how to pack compact" gave no relevant hit. (July 2010)
Nomads have been concerned about the weight of their gear at least since Homo Habilis, 2 million years ago. Time has come for a new trend: Compactness.
Mentally approach the luggage selection problem from the 0 weight end! Not by reducing from the heap of "Can be useful".
Start with a basic luggage like below. Then adding an item from my How to Manage Without list, e. g. an ordinary shampoo bottle, may seem ridiculous.
Save $$$, time, sweat, hassle and the planet.
If this is the kick in the pants you need to pack lighter it is money well spent.
When you know how to travel with practically no luggage you can probably pack much lighter if you wish
Nano seize luggage! 1 oz, 30 g!
A contender for world's smallest?

I don't suggest you go this far. It looked possible so I tried.
But when you have the knowledge you can pack really light.
No bag fees! No waiting for bags! No lost checked bags. Less taxis.
"Man shrinks luggage to 1 oz, 30 g"
No bag. Consider it solved.
Give your luggage US$ XX haircut!
I was contacted by a man going minimalistic
He mentioned the 100 things Challenge which I didn't know about. It has some in common with traveling with little gear. A difference is that a traveler can rely on the facilities at the accommodation:
A room *. A bed. Toilette. Light **. Facility for washing yourself and you clothes. Soap. Towel. I think those are the 7 essentials.
My total travel gear, including clothes and footwear, consists of from 24 items.
Ad those seven and I am at from 31 items when traveling.
* Or a tent - I have been sleeping in "hotel" tents a couple of times.
** The most basic was at the world class beach on Boracay, Philippines. My landlady brought a lit kerosene lamp to my bungalow when it got dark.
One customer mentioned quick evacuation kits - or Disaster supply kits as FEMA* calls them
"For quick evacuation kits: Every bit of weight/volume saved is more room for food, water, and useful tools. Or a smaller/lighter kit so the evacuation is easier."
* FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency of USA |
You may save US$ 1000 on things you don't need to buy and $$$ on taxis.

The Warning
Do you sleep extra tight when your hotel room door has one of these devices? I don't without checking it. It sometimes has a serious flaw making it quite useless.
|
Makeshift "door knob alarm" instantly made from room content. Basic Do It Yourself, DIY, pick pocket guard - most travelers don't have it??? Razor blade artist pocket guard, even makeshift. A .1 oz, 3 g, substitute for the electric mosquito killer racket, great in malaria areas (enormous amounts of material etc are unnecessarily going into manufacturing 30 millions a year of the electric racket variety). Wash and dry in 1 hour, even without electricity. A 1 oz, 30 g, addition to .... makes it a good rain protector for hot climates.

The focus is on my travel style
I stay in inexpensive hotels, eat in restaurants and travel the longer stretches by air. I am mostly in the hot tropics. - Back pack travel without the back pack.
Some tips may be useful for hikers etc. too.
I have no (expensive) brand clothing or gear. |
Greener travel
If you keep your luggage weight down you keep emissions of green house gases down as less energy is required to manufacture and transport your luggage.
If you have a dress and accessories that keep you cooler when it is hot you need less AC and less washing is required leading to less use of water and washing powder resulting in less pollution of the environment.
