If you urine is dark, and or smells like piss, You ARE Definitely Dehydrated. I've been working outside, in FL, off and on since 1989. If you start getting hot don't put your head under a hose take the insides of your forearms and cool it off with a hose or water from the cooler that'll cool your core body temperature. Buddy of mine and electrician got heat stroke in an attic the doctors at the ER told him it's not what you drink that morning it's what you're putting in your body tonight before and they weren't talking about him drinking beer they were talking about the lack of water in him to replace the water he sweated out the day before. If you start seeing spots and getting nauseated it's probably too late you need to get your *** up on out of the Sun and into the shade. I've actually been what we call "caught by the bear" once... that's when you're laying out in the sun and you're shivering and you are not sweating any longer.. No Good! I was about 29 then. Over 50 now. Heck I was cleaning out my airless paint sprayer a month ago in the sun, takes me about 20-25 minutes it was 5:00 in the afternoon,I did not have my boonie hat. Cost me almost 45 minutes afterwards, I could not function fer crap
