Default Extreme heat survival shelter

What would you do if you had to be out in the heat of the California Desert during the day, and wanted a shelter?
I ask because I went shooting out in palm springs last weekend, and it was 110. I was dying. My water got hot in its containers, and I even felt like it was hard to breath(i'm kinda out of shape as well but I can usually hike all day without much problem)

I'm curious about two scenarios:

1) a Portable survival shelter that you have to be able to carry without a vehicle.

2) A Portable survival shelter that sacrifices nothing for comfort, but can be carried in the back of a truck. You can even have a generator and air conditioner! The idea here is for outings to the desert and you want a method to get people cooled down before they get heat exhaustion.

Imagine 120 degree heat, and no shade available.I have my ideas but I want to hear yours.
