Cold Injuries

Yeah, it's me again, talkin' again about frostbite and hypothermia. Some of you will recall a thread I started on another board that some of you seem to frequent all too frequently (as I do. ) It seems useful to reprise the info here, for the benefit of the recently frozen and those who want to avoid a similar fate.

"What the hell is he talking about???"

Here's what: Cold Injuries, an excerpt from the NOLS Wilderness First Aid book. It's the best free writing on the subject that you will find. If you're going to be outdoors this winter, you might find the excerpt very useful.

And now (again) the disclaimer: No, I'm not affiliated with NOLS, or even a graduate, just an admirer.

FWIW,
When XC-skiing in bitter cold wind, I find tucking a plastic sandwich bag inside the front of my underwear as a most invaluable savior of cold weather injuries.

....'Course, I always eat the sandwich first

Do you take out the sandwich first?

Some guys will do anything for a hot lunch!

Or is this your answer to "Enzyte"?
