    There is no such thing as too cold. There is only under dressed. At least that’s what the old fucks say. I like me a toasty summer but that doesn’t make it any less true thst its easier to get warm when your cold than it is to get cool when your too hot.

        I’ve worked outside in -50 with a 30km/h wind, more than once. It’s not fun, but I would take that in a heartbeat to +40. I can dress for -50; at +40 there’s only so many clothes I can take off before I get arrested.

          And I’ve worked in sweltering heat with high humidity and it’s a lot easier for a layman to survive the heat than the cold. You need gear and burning resouces to survive the cold. All you need with the heat is some shade and maybe a dip in the river/lake/pool. Like I said in my other comment, there’s a reason homeless flock to warm climates. It’s easier to survive.

        You have just proven you have never been anywhere actually cold, at least not with adequate clothing. What temperature do you suppose people just magically start freezing to death regardless of their clothing?

      There is no such thing as too cold. There is only under dressed.

      Which comes with extra kilograms of clothes on you. When it is getting warm and you get rid of them, it is one of the best feelings.
