I'm thinking that building shelter and or fire would have been #1 tonight.
It's hard to believe anybody would survive out there with a wind chill well below zero.
So it's like 9 deg. here

Proper clothing...

Yes, I have wifi in my outhouse!
It was 11 here today.
Proper clothing is right...still a biatch when you're going in and out of buildings. Freezing and schwitzing all day long; more dangerous than building an igloo and hibernating.
It's about -12F right now so not bad for us. We've got another cold snap coming in this weekend though. That means -40F. Bleck.

I need to convince the scout troop I'm associated with to start using igloos and stop using tents. It was 1 degree this past weekend, and two of the scouts got hypothermia and had to be sent home. I'm sure glad I brought wool blankets to line my burrow with, that tent was not even slightly warm.

I hear you on clothing.I've hunted black powder season in this kind of cold.
Layers upon layers of clothing.For me it's the feet that get cold so I have a nice pair of Sorel boots.
It was 11 degrees her too this morning, and I would also be schwitzing if I knew what it was.............I'm confused! Nessie, can you PM me a picture of you schwitzing so I can see how that works?Originally Posted by BENESSE
Okay, I'm an old timer. What is "like" 9 degrees? Would one of you youngsters please explain that to me.
It pretty much means it's 9 degrees, simular to I'm like soooooo tired really means I'm tired. One of the girls said, " I was just like Wow " the other day and I just cracked up. I still haven't figured that one out
It’s -31C here this morning in the wind, that’s about -22 in english.
Like Thanks, fer shur, Dude!It pretty much means it's 9 degrees, simular to I'm like soooooo tired really means I'm tired. One of the girls said, " I was just like Wow " the other day and I just cracked up. I still haven't figured that one out
"Like" is not counting the .0.
At least the mosquitoes aren't out.

Yup and stepping in dog poop is not an issue.
But you can twist an ankle on it.
Does fresh dog poop smoke on a cold morning?
That reminds me of something that happened last summer. We don't have a dog, so I don't know where it came from, but I was running my weedeater one morning, and was just buzzing along the front sidewalk when dog poop started flying all over the place. It got on my jeans, socks, shirt and on my glasses and face. So I learned a very important lesson from that, don't weed eat dog poop!
Thank god for glasses, or you might have had pinkeye!
