(It's usually humid here in se Texas and daytime highs from June to October tend to be around 95F/35C.)I carry binoculars, a superzoom digital camera (plus spare batteries and memory card), a piece of paper and a pen. I used also to carry a camcorder and a tripod but my camera can shoot video and has a good image stabilization system. Unless I'm going to be out for hours far away from my car, I don't carry water. I water up before I go, I walk slowly, I wear a cap and don't wear shorts; so dehydration isn't a problem.Jeff <a href="http://www.jeffincypress.blogspot.com" target="_blank">www.jeffincypress.blogspot.com</a></blockquote>
