Switchback pretty much summed it up.
Another option is hike at night.....sleep during the day.
Like Switchback said drink lots of water, but not to much, and eat food
containing salt like salted nuts and potassium like banana chips......to
replace the salt lost due to sweating.
I remember in the Marine Corps we always took a salt tablet every 2-4 hrs on
our forced marches.
Oh yes, there is safety in numbers.....hike with a friend or two.
