>>1859560No, you probably won’t get used to it. Not unless you spend a lot of time outside in your every day life or lead a healthy lifestyle (not overweight, work out regularly, etc.). Most people can’t be bothered to not be fat.
The weather in Louisiana is some of the worst in the country. It leads in the number of days with oppressive heat. And it’s not just a matter of hot summers; you get that everywhere. It gets hot (not to be confused with warm) in Louisiana in April or May. The reason I switched to a hammock was because I was sweating my balls off in a tent in March. The heat lasts until October. I once had a truck that wouldn’t start because the A/C compressed locked up the week before Halloween.
>B-but they have mild winters!I live in Oregon now, where it rains for months and is an average of 10° colder than Louisiana. Louisiana feels much, much colder and less comfortable. I never understood why people wear short sleeves when temps are in the upper 50’s, but it makes sense now. It’s a matter of acclimatization. It takes the average person 10 days to fully acclimate to cold weather but only three days to fully acclimate to warm weather. Because of an erratic jet stream and the states proximity to the Gulf, you’ll never get 10 days straight of cold weather. You’ll get 4 or 5, then a day or two of warm temps, negating any previous acclimation. Kansas and Oklahoma follow the same pattern but swing into more extreme cold temps, which is why no one lives there. It’s unbearable.
Anyway, not much camping or hiking there. There is, but it’s not nearly as much as other places. Excellent fishing; the SE portion of the state is probably the best in the country. Great for kayak fishing and relaxing, recreational kayaking and canoeing. Pirogue’s are a meme. Lots of deer there, though not very large. Alligators are extremely common. There are flying cockroaches that are capable of biting you.
