🚨 OFFICIAL “DON’T MAKE US COME GET YOU” HEAT PSA 🚨
Mother Nature has cranked Montana up to “surface of the sun” and apparently woke up this morning choosing violence to inflict on us this weekend.
It’s supposed to be over 100° this weekend.
That means:
* Drink water like you owe it money.
* Toss in some electrolytes every now and then.
* Wear sunscreen unless you’ve always wanted to resemble a gas station hot dog.
* Stay in the shade when you can.
* Check on your grandparents, neighbors, and that one buddy who’s convinced “I’ll be fine.”
Now listen closely…
🍺 Beer is not water.
☕ Coffee is not water.
🥤 Mountain Dew is definitely not water.
🥃 Whiskey is absolutely not water.
❄️ An ice-cold Busch Light is refreshing… but it’s still not hydration.
If your weekend plans include roofing a house, picking up and stacking hay, rebuilding a fence, mowing five acres, detailing the pickup, washing the horse trailer, and grilling for 40 people—all between noon and 4 p.m.—you may be suffering from heat-induced poor decision making before you’ve even started.
And no, saying “I’m built different” does not make you immune to heat exhaustion. The sun doesn’t care how tough you are, what you bench, how many cows you’ve worked, or how long you’ve lived in Montana. It’ll humble you faster than a toddler with your phone.
🚑 Your local EMS crews have a humble request:
Please don’t become this weekend’s “Hold my beer and watch this” heat stroke statistic patient.
Hydrate before you’re thirsty.
Replace those electrolytes.
Take breaks.
Keep the kiddos and critters cool.
Never leave kids or pets in a vehicle.
And if you stop sweating, get dizzy, start acting confused, or think you’re winning an argument with the sun… it’s time to cool off and get help.
Our goal is simple:
Let’s all survive the weekend with the same number of family members, pets, and functioning brain cells we started with.
Stay safe, stay cool, and for the love of all that’s holy… drink some dang water. ☀️🥵💧🇺🇸🚑
