[@robertzumstein4431]

Born in the valley in the early 60's, one thing every one of our vehicles had in it and still has, is at least 3 gallons of water, they get dumped and refilled all the time, it may be tap water, it may be warm, but it is a life saver, plus never leave home without a towel, put it on the ground when changing a tire, or use it to dry off after using water to wash with if needed, etc. A comb in the glove compartment to remove cactus from your limbs and a piece of paper with pencil, things I know I always have with me,

[@barbaraduncan3126]

@@robertzumstein4431 yes water is key to have even when taking the bus. I was told in the summer never leave home without water. Also if you wet the towel and place it on your neck you can keep your core temperature down. You can wipe your face too. If you fan the towel in the air, it will become cool and refreshing when you replace it back on your neck. I used this method when hiking down into the Grand Canyon (10 miles) and all the time I was down in the canyon hiking to each site that was 2 miles apart from each other, then back out (10 miles), it was life-changing, a truly wonderful experience. What a great memory.

You are so right on that, don't touch car door handles or even the steering wheel without it being covered. Buckling up with metal can be difficult with searing pain. Even being out in the heat can make your purse so hot you can't touch it. I try to have an umbrella when going out in the summer it makes a big difference. I have noticed it getting hotter each year because of more assfalt, cement sidewalks, buildings. Taking away the trees, gardens, fields.

I have learned this here in eastern Oregon but I'm sure it's even more of a thing in Arizona. If you are out in the wild or even out in the country around an old house or rest stop if you lift something up like a rock or board or anything on the ground lift it up away from you and stand back. There could be a rattlesnake or scorpion underneith.

[@barbaraduncan3126]

Yep, I was told to use a stick to turn over a rock because of the creatures that could be underneath. There are also poisonous lizards, poisonous centipedes, snakes like coral snakes also. My son when he was little picked up a baby coral snake, my father saw him and told him calmly to put it down. My son was lucky because the snake was so small it couldn't bite him even though it was trying to. You also need to look around before sitting down on a large rock because a poisonous creature could be close. While we were hiking, we had some experience with this, a lady sat down when we stopped and my father told her to be very calm and he took out his pistol and shot the snake (this was back in the 60's), the snake was so close to her and my dad was a great shot.

I want to add something about what I find very difficult living in Arizona. Yes, it gets extremely hot here, but what's so hard for me, is it can be 110 degrees during the day BUT nights "cool down" to only 95 degrees and I'm talking about midnight, to 2:00 and 3:00 a.m. During the summer, it's too hot to be outdoors sitting on your patio, even the pool water is too warm. It's still in the 100's in September. BUT! The winters here is nothing but gorgeous weather. Which is why those from the north escape to come here. You cannot beat the winters.

[@Sovereignxx]

As a native of Arizona, I feel like you forgot a few important Things NOT to do. 1. Do not travel according to the posted speed limit on highways and freeways. If it says 55mph you should be doing 65mph. 2. Do not lane camp the left lane, move over. Slower traffic should be in the right-hand lane. 3. Do not admit you are from California even if you are. 4. Do not complain about the rain. We have more sunny days than rainy throughout the year, we love it. Water is precious.

Truth on the rain. It's such a blessing to get rain. I've been amazed with such breathtaking downpours. One time it was raining so hard I was standing in my doorway and noticed everyone also standing at their doorways. We felt the energy from the rain, it was glorious. Rain is so precious here. I even started marking when it rains on my calendar just to see how AZ is doing with weather. Rain is one of my prayers for AZ. I also pray for rain for California and the other western states.

He needed to emphasize even more that driving your vehicle through a flooded wash is stupid. It doesn’t matter how much water you see or if it’s moving; the water is muddy and you don’t know if the road still exists, if the current underneath is too strong or if debris may lurk. And if you think your off-road badass SUV or truck is immune, I have pulled many of those vehicles out of washes and they are usually destroyed and unusable or require expensive repair. We had a family lose multiple children a few years ago crossing a flash flood crossing. He had a respectable vehicle. They’re dead.

Without drinking enough water before a hike, your joints can suffer. Dehydration leads to shrinking of synovial fluid, which is the lubricant for your knees and other joints. I've experienced knee pain that stopped a hike. It was because I was not well hydrated. The pain can be bad enough to strand you. And it causes wear and tear that isn't good for your joints.

your reply indicates that you are neither responsible or respectable for fear that you might be considered a citizen of a civilized society, Being a citizen of society, any civilized society has some conformity involved, that does not mean that you are a cardboard cut out slave, haveing general respect and being responsible for yourself and your own actions is being human, I used to think, but reading comments like yours is starting to change my beliefs on that. For you seem to be one that goes out of their way to disrespect and not be responsible, for fear that you will lose your individuality.

Arizona is a desert in the midst of a severe drought. Here in Tucson, we get most of our water (CAP) from the Colorado River. We share that with 7 other thirsty states and Mexico - some of which are also experiencing a drought. Last night (June 15th), I was waiting for it to cool off to 90 degrees before watering my plants. It never did. It was 96 degrees when I finally went to bed. It's supposed to be 117 tonight at 8 p.m. We haven't had our annual monsoon rains for three years! So if you're moving here and planning to put in a lawn, please, don't. Do us all a favor and plant heat tolerant native trees instead. I haven't had to water my mesquite and palo verde at all.

In an effort to live in harmony with the desert, my husband and I dug up all the gravel and plastic on our yard and put in shallow basins to catch the rain and water our native plants. We get tons of water from our roof too. These catchment basins are filled with wood chip mulch that holds the water like a sponge. Our yard is now full of native wild flowers, bushes, and trees that attract birds to our cool little oasis in the desert. And those native trees don't require much (if any) city water once they are established.

[@chrissyhoskinds2500]

Yet we have had record rain and snowfalls in northern Az and lake mead actually was riding when they were covering the massive drought that was happening even though the upper basin feed was cut down to 30% and the outflow was still at 100% of normal. They had to stop showing how low the lake was because it was riding during monsoons. No one wants to address that the upper basin flow is being shut off because Colorado is redirecting water to a resort and golf course they just built and cut the flow down to our lake reservoirs.

Avoid overexposure to the sun on sunny days. In the winter it's ok to spend most of the day outside. But in the summer, you can sunburn in 15 minutes! My rule of thumb in the summer is: spend 9:00 am to 4:30 pm indoors. I don't really like using sunscreen but it is important if you're exposed outdoors. I'll put sunscreen on my neck and face and ears and wear long sleeves and long pants - even when it's very hot! (People have already mentioned water. In the summer, if you go on a 5 mile hike in the early morning, you're still going to want water - probably a couple of quarts.)

[@barbaraduncan3126]

Even the Native Americans ware long sleeves and long pants out in the summer on their lands. It helps not to get heat stroke. I have had experience with heat stroke and that's no fun. I was lucky though, the people I was with, they ended up in the hospital, I didn't.

It’s perfectly fine to root for another team in Arizona. There are so many transplants here you’ll have no problem finding mutual fans of your team

This Mesa is Wrigley Field South they love their Cubbies there. So much so Ryan Sandburg retired to Phx Metro.

If you live here, and have loved ones, whose lives are *WORTH* protecting; buy a gun and learn how to use it correctly. Owning a gun, no more makes you armed, than owning a guitar makes you a musician! An hour response time for law enforcement is not uncommon.

AZ is a diverse and beautiful place. Enjoy it, respect it, experience it. And yes, drive hammered get nailed.

[@VeganGroceryLife]

I will leave my donkey at home when I visit! Lol! I didn’t know some of these! Thank you! I like these types of videos.

I'm glad you mentioned the no donkey in your bathtub law. Mine's gonna throw a fit when I break the news.

[@psnewsauditor-az5244]

Good guidelines, we all have to learn to live Arizona.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

You mentioned why not to explore from the car. Cool spot to back you up on that. Leaving Oatman, going north you reach a point where the left side is all amazing mountain view. On a bend just outside Oatman we hit an overlook and decided to stop. The views were amazing but the views weren't the only thing. There were little personal memorials all over the place. No idea what it was or why, but something so unique I never saw anything like it anywhere else in the world.

[@undercovergardener5632]

Don’t walk in front of a self driving vehicle

[@racer72]

The first time my wife and I went to Arizona, we rented a small Nissan. We saw lots of places to explore but that car was not made to go into those places. The next time we rented a Jeep. It was nice to be able to drive into some back country places.

[@davidebossi5926]

Great video, thanks! Speaking of water consumption and sustainability, is there any long term plan in place to manage that? Particularly now that the population in some areas is growing so fast

[@rebeccaswilling1771]

Great video! Love your videos

I was in Sedona yesterday for the day... 😍... Climbed Bell Rock, definitely necessary! I’m a year in here and ur on point and I’m still learning! Don’t drink AZ tap water!

Haha thats fair. But.... down here in the Desert we wear Red not Blue haha.

[@timothycontreras8424]

You damn well better not.

[@drewdatification]

@@timothycontreras8424 , are you threatening me?

[@coleparker]

Living in the Desert myself, not only should you drink water, but mix some electrolyte stuff with it such as gatorade. Also if your body can handle it, eat a banana or other potassium source in the morning. This will help you with the heat.

[@ogfight]

Great advice. I take a little bag of rock salt and suck on a few pieces during the day. You will sweat out your salt really fast and get severe cramping even to the point of death.

[@RunTheEarthWatchTheSky]

PLEASE heed those words of DO NOT LITTER! I live up in Kohl's Ranch and spend every Tuesday walking Tonto Creek, cleaning up the weekend camper's trash!! :( It still never ceases to amaze me the incredible amount of garbage people leave behind! If you want to camp in Payson, PACK YOUR SH*T OUT!!!

You forgot the most important thing about living in Phoenix area of Arizona.. Don't go to Northern Arizona and tell them that you're from California.

Yeah people are not gonna be pleased to know that. probably not gonna like u.

Back in the 80`s I moved my family to Oregon and it was the same situation , get your California plates off your car asap and never speak of where you came from.

Retiring to Arizona, born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. I did ask my realtor if that would disqualify me, being a Steeler fan and all.

[@marlabaldwin7011]

There's actually quite a few Steelers fans in Az

[@jcmjcm2412]

There is a ton of Steelers fans here! Just like the cowgirls they are everywhere. You will love the climate here especially in the winter. Go buy a UTV and have a blast! Tear that desert up.
