"Death Valley hiker was interviewed about blistering heat hours before his death: ‘Everything is hot here’

"“It’s a dry heat,” said Steve Curry, 71, who was visiting Death Valley from the Sunland neighborhood of Los Angeles. No stranger to heat, Curry had hiked from Golden Canyon to Zabrieski Point early Tuesday morning and was scrunched into a tiny spot of shade beneath a metal interpretive sign."

He died like he lived, being an idiot.

Florida man will never beat California man in an idiot contest, at least not without bath salts.

How to tell you've never been in that kind of heat without you saying you've never been in that kind of heat.

That part of your story is medically verifiable bullshit. The rest of it is just likely bullshit like everything else you post.

Obvious idiot moves.
Water in sun and not in shade.....doh!
He has a straw hat, good....he has what looks like 2 hats under it (WTF, moron, they only hold the heat in).
He has a shirt on that looks thick enough to not be breathable cloth and has it buttoned down like an armor suit......dumb.
Is that a jacket across his lap ?????
Gloves ? WT-everloving-F, lets make certain our skin can't have any area to expel the heat.

The guy obviously did not have the mentality to be in that environment.
Darwin struck with unwavering accuracy.

You wear light colored breathable clothing as loose fitting as you can stand.
That's why the old time arabs wore what looked like a dress, because that shit works when it's that hot out.

Crossed Death Valley by MC in Oct 2011. Started at Pahrump and Arrived at the entrance about an hour after it had rained. Total coincidence.

Ranger said I was in for a rare sight as “everything” would be blooming.

Everything “was” blooming within no time. Amazing ride! Rode out of the park towards Lake Isabella and into Visalia, then on to sequoia and Yosemite. Epic ride!! Death Valley was amazing… but I wouldn’t go near there in summer heat!

Cut the guy some slack, those Milwaukee gloves were free.

Whoever writes his eulogy should point out he lived an exceptionally long life for a dumbfuck.

Unless he was having a "This idea sucks" realization.

Lots of people that aren't from California go to death valley.

The people who went there that day and survived probably out number him 1000 to 1.

Was he vaccinated?

Dry 121, LOL. Go to Dallas Ft Worth when its 110 and 99% humidity.

Or anywhere in the Southeast US really.

Yeah, central TX has been cooking, 104 here in Belton today and no relief or rain in the foreseeable forecast.
Well that's why God and Willis Carrier invented air conditioning!
