Keeping cool tip if you've a freezer

Wet a hand towel, small towel, washcloth, etc. Wring it out, roll into a tube, place in freezer in a horseshoe shape. When frozen, place around neck. Frozen washcloths were good to use on heads too.

I learned this at work one hour summer day and it helped.

even just getting it wet helps a lot.
