As water goes, it should be as much as you can carry. Excessive heat- excessive sweat- you'll be amazed how much you can drink. Spare no expense on bug juice. U.S. military issue is brill but highly concentrated.It actually will strip paint of metal and get it in your mouth and it will send your numb.
Non greasy sunblock of Max factor. The greasy one mixes with sweat from your brow to end up in your eyes, result is blurred vision for an hour. If you have to wear hard hats you can get a cloth brim that sits over with rear and side curtains (foreign legion style). Not only stops you frying your neck but soak it in water and the resulting evaporation is like having a mini airconditioner.
And watch out for snakes?? 10 hour field days in summer in OZ Troll
