Hot-Cold

HACO Hiking prioritizes the safety of hikers, particularly those at risk of hyperthermia or hypothermia.

Hyperthermia, characterized by symptoms like excessive sweating, confusion, dizziness, and heatstroke, occurs when the body overheats in hot conditions. In response, HACO ensures hikers stay hydrated, take regular breaks, and wear appropriate clothing for heat.

Hypothermia, on the other hand, arises in cold weather, with signs like shivering, fatigue, confusion, and slurred speech. HACO provides proper layering techniques, encourages warm, dry clothing, and ensures hikers are aware of risks in low temperatures. In both conditions, prompt intervention and professional assistance are provided to manage the situation if it arises.
