3 ranger rules that apply to builders, firefighters, cooks, and nurses:
🧤 Stay dry: sweating is the real enemy — keep a dry backup layer in the truck/pack.
🚫 Avoid cotton: “cotton kills” — it steals warmth when wet.
🛠️ Sharp tools + clear briefings: a dull tool is dangerous, and crews run better with a plan.
