My Grandpa had Heat Exhaustion today on the Golf Course and it was the scariest day of my life. He starting breathing hard and then passed out. He woke about about 3 minutes later, threw up a bit but now he's fine. We are giving him plenty of fluids and cool air.

I want to learn survival beyond first aid. A lot of countries has little or no sufficient medical care. if you break a leg ,its just up to you no patch it together so it heals right. its not just heat stroke , but a lot of other things I would like to learn more about.

@MsWatcheverything What country has no medical care ? Anyway, there is some videos online on how to deal with a heat stroke. it is something hard for you to deal with thats why you need some medical help.
