Extreme heat kills one person every minute globally — yet knowing the signs and quick action can save lives. Learn how to protect yourself and others. The 'build your own swamp cooler' is interesting, but at the same time, it kind of shows a failing of the producers to understand where people are at. A fountain pump? A drill with a circular hole bit? Its a good idea, and helpful in a lot of circumstances. Not everyone can afford or even have power tools and a 6" fan lying around. That being said, the basic first aid for head exhaustion and heat stroke is spot on.
