WorldWide Drilling Resource

Summer in the USA and elsewhere across the world brings heat and with it comes safety concerns. Our own VP Troy Cunningham deals with it constantly as each drilling professional, mechanic, driver, etc., does. But do they give a second thought to how much toll it takes on their bodies? I sincerely doubt it because they have a job to do and they just “get ‘er done”. Not once thinking how hot it is and the fact that uh-oh, I’m not sweating anymore. Along about then, it is flat TOO LATE! So what must we do when we are working and just don’t seem to have time to get around to correcting that problem? Hydrate, Hydrate, HYDRATE is what Troy always preaches. Doesn’t matter whether you are young, middle-aged, or older, you must still give your body back what you take from it. Now, you may think taking the bottle of Powerade ® or Gatorade ® will do the trick. WRONG!!!! Did you know, professionals state for every one of those types of drinks, you MUST drink two of water. YES, because what you are drinking in those drinks is concentrated elec- trolites (which are good), but have to be released into your body to do their jobs. WATER is a necessity of life, and my suggestion to you is be sure you have the YETI ® cooler in the back of that pickup or rig, or even in your car for long trips - keep it packed with ice and bottles of water along with a few of these other drinks. Leave the sodas out of there and the alcohol home in the cupboard for some other cooler time or when you are not forced to be outside. AND don’t forget those BIG floppy hats not only cover the top of your head, they cover those ears as well. We don’t have those St. Bernards around here that can save you from yourself. Now that I’m off my “preaching stand”, here are a few postcard shots we picked up while in Kentucky we thought you’d enjoy. Proudly Made in the United States of America - delivered WorldWide !
