Posted in cold blood?As opposed to the regular ones for we reptiles, fish and amphibians?
Not that I recall. I was the one in a tee shirt every morning while everyone else sported a light jacket. They couldn't understand why I wasn't cold.Before I start one, Is there an existing thread for Hot Blooded persons?
If so please guide me to it because, I can't find any.
EDIT: As in those who are always, HOT!
Your're killin' me Smalls!So you’re hot blooded? Search the forums and see.
You’ve got replies of a hundred and three?
Come on Chupy, do you do more than post?
You’re hot blooded, hot blooded...
You must be a Foreigner...
I think I qualify as hot-blooded in your definitionBefore I start one, Is there an existing thread for Hot Blooded persons?

I just got a silk liner as, I only used my lightweight sleeping bag 2 times in May 2016 on CP.Hot sleepers need less bedding. Use a silk liner rather than sleeping bag.
Hot walkers need a UV hands free umbrella (in my opinion).
@Aesklepius, I don't mind being the heat source to almost anything that feels cold as ice!
Just hoping to learn how other's handle being hotter than most and, share tips.
Hydration, indeed! I found my Tilley was too warm. Although I did learn in another thread, that removing the foam sponge in the top will lessen that problem.Staying well hydrated was key on hot days and exposed stretches. As unfashionable as I find it, my wide-brimmed and vented Tilley Hat helped to protect my balding pate from exposure, and kept it cool - sometimes by soaking the hat in a stream or fuente....
No. Remember rain doesn't just fall straight down. If there's any wind at all it will hit you sideways.With an umbrella, I don't imagine there's any need for a poncho unless there's thunder. Have any of you found this to be true?
Fair enough but, the umbrella could be tilted (I don't mind getting a bit wet). @trecile , you probably know about this next thing, too...I could also wear sleeveless tops instead of long sleeve SPF factor ones. Do your hiking dresses have short sleeves or sleeveless? If I don't have to slather in sunscreen AND can wear sleeveless, that would make a huge difference in being cooler!No. Remember rain doesn't just fall straight down.

My dresses have sort of a cap sleeve. But depending on the angle of the sun my arms aren't always completely in the shade, so I always apply sunscreen. When it's raining hard I like to use my umbrella with my poncho (actually it's called a "parcho", and has full sleeves). Then I don't have to use my good, and y visibility is so much better.Fair enough but, the umbrella could be tilted (I don't mind getting a bit wet). @trecile , you probably know about this next thing, too...I could also wear sleeveless tops instead of long sleeve SPF factor ones.

Sixty years of being hot and I'm STILL not used to it!pretty much gotta get used to being hot unless you walk during winter!
@Bradypus ...exactly! Just like my fiancee!
I also cannot stand the heat, so I only hike El Camino in April and in October. This April has been very cool and to my liking.Before I start one, Is there an existing thread for Hot Blooded persons?

I also feel like I could be holding a lightning rodNow that I'm thinking about it, Umbrellas could be the answer to a few things! When it rained, I threw a cheap plastic poncho over me and my backpack and adjusted my Macabi into shorts. That kept me from experiencing any super 'sauna effect'. With an umbrella, I don't imagine there's any need for a poncho unless there's thunder. Have any of you found this to be true?
Yes we had battles over windows too - in one albergue we found a solution. All the window open people in one room, all the window closed in the other.pretty much gotta get used to being hot unless you walk during winter! I too run "hot" - always sleep (regardless of season) with window open and fan on. On the Camino, I only used a silk liner; just left a long-sleeve on if it felt cooler than usual for sleeping. I always went for the "window" bunk, but regardless of how many times I opened it, someone would come over and close the window. I don't think I ever got to sleep an entire night with a window opened! Needless to say, I just got used to sleeping in the warmth. You'll be so tired some evenings, it won't even matter.
Yes. When I bring an umbrella (in Summer), I don’t bring either poncho or rain jacket. Kept me and my pack dry.With an umbrella, I don't imagine there's any need for a poncho unless there's thunder. Have any of you found this to be true?

I also totally dislike walking in heat! It totally zaps my energy! Give me chilly days any time and I can walk faster and go farther!I also cannot stand the heat, so I only hike El Camino in April and in October. This April has been very cool and to my liking.
I hate being hot. Give me cold cuz at least I can always bundle up with more layers... just don't send me to outer Mongolia!Sixty years of being hot and I'm STILL not used to it!
