a little boring for a while to feel on what I'm doin right now and a lot of crises a lot and in the ground Wow so it was unearthed or recovered recently yeah it's from an old firm we lived there we were tied to go around scavenging all deal to kill over here this field to play would integrate Polish people

our demise

but it's pretty filthy mr. Stahr when it's starting to clean up from going back

I get about 12 1214 hours run time off on the slope board it sounds impressive stuff but it's just a really concentrated fire with a bottle insulation but the fire here is only about that big around and that long it's pretty good on fuel but all go downhill from there and they get bigger they 13 I I've had some gorges in the past right I couldn't ride a tank like that limo two and a half three minutes in the top of the tank freeze on here the ice floating around in the Rogaine yes

and one of the stops that we need everybody was sitting down he felt like his feet were sweaty so all he did was he took off his combat Irv took off his sport sock put it in his pocket put his wool sock back on put on his combat boot put on his mukluks we started walking and within 20 minutes started complaining his foot was you know killing them it was war in a whole bed they threw him on a skidoo rushed them back to at that time we're an alert rushed him back to alert and he had already had third degree frostbite on the front of his foot lost lost his foot that take it off he was with the only injury of 124 of us on that trip copy2 rocks

ah who are sports hawk a wool sock then abou then I'm up luck yeah he took up the sports to hook off the sports talk and just enough wow they're gonna let the core to come in he lost who said that we lost his wig he lost his wicking leg yeah and that's the thing a lot of them like I've got another suite in value that I have here which is you know a Coleman Magnus is rated for - claw and it's like - five comfortable or something like that - twelve I don't know what they were thinking when they did that ratings I sleep warm very well he does he looks a lot what oh yeah like I speak very well I liked once but because Wayne and I wrote all the time for a prime example I've been sleeping moving out - pointing here something like that ice ball he wakes up like oh my god I'm cold I'm like dude you want my ranger blanket well no cuz you're I'm sweating I'm like trying to perform stuff on that was only at one hahahaha and I said yes give me that

if you can't eat it I will take it right Mike

hey I got a blanket somehow I was like yeah I'll get a breeze in the pregame we're talking about it earlier of all we became all right I got a question boy that's slipping back you can get down pretty cold huh be sure to -65 beside something whenever it is

yeah it's pretty epic um very what is it way and I can't wait for somebody to boss me on our I'd say between head and height you're looking at about 15 20 I bet you're looking 18 pound so that's my guess yeah I'm talking because I I have the old American extreme coal bag very similar very similar it has duck down polyester lining canvas on the outside middle zipper it's got the box that's actually what I use in Canada right it's inside a gore-tex baby of the modern system so I mix for both old and new and that goes down to minus 20 yeah Fahrenheit I got down to minus 15 and I was right at the edge of that bag for sure I was called I've dude it's 30 years old but yeah that was from like the 70s and 80s yeah so um that's a 12 pound bag oh yeah yeah I mean that's a 12 pound bag so I'm looking at this that's epic but I was like I bet that adds six pounds oh it does and that's the biggest thing a huge thing

definitely and I've said that before you can still go out and have a great time during the winter time why that's where I worked right there I know all the copper mines know I know what to do you bring me like a gear or whatever could you do that every night you know if you feel that constant cold all the time you know I wouldn't know about what that's when I would have been sleeping by a long fire well you make an appointment for being in Canada with your bag and it started getting cold or whatever we lose picture about how to turn in your keys if I had it got wet and you got that color everything was what rain twice a day good yeah at one point I had well I mean every night rather every day I would take my sleep system and half the day I would take the face half a look it over so that part that's absolutely soaked in the bottom of the bivi it's from I mean you know from pressing on the ground like water would come off of it it was all moss it's all wet all the time laying it right so half the day fold it up the other half of the day I'd switch it up and I do the other side right so I had this thing right and I never let anything get inside ever because before I used to do all the flips I just roll it a little bit and make sure it was protected there was one day I felt adventurous I saw the Sun it was a big deal I found a single spot array a level sea right I came in I really put it on I made a first clothesline just to hang it you know and I'm watching it start to steam and then it starts raining you know so now I'm like freaking out trying to get everything back in you know so things don't dry it up it is what it is you know no no I've been dry you know so everything was wet so you know my bag was a bit compromised and everything was cold so and it's old you know I mean I really pushed it to the limit yeah I got to the point where I had like a little slit just so like my mouth and nose could like get let out moisture cuz I started getting that like moisture sweat room right around there but it was so cold that I had you know I mean I was taking socks and I was putting them in my armpits warming them up because my feet were numb in my bag right that's how bad it was and then after 15 20 minutes these are warm I take those off I put the warm ones on my feet and I'd be like whoa yes and I'll take those put them on under my armpit put him insulator I'd swap that I would keep doing that I'll do five times regardless usually took about five times and then my feet would be able to maintain that warmth now that the fabric was warm and my feet weren't cold for the rest of the night and I still have that extra pair that I kept in my bag with me for the morning because I'd swap it is the moisture one of my boot I mean I'd have a very sophisticated system on how I was layering things in the middle of the night in my bag so I'm staying out of course feet kind of end the whole thing to go back on those that might have learned something from hypothermia what was that an example of you just explained with his feet hit the ball he was starting to go into hypothermia I didn't - all this I'm starting with the first day of hypothermia mm-hmm and her veins in his feet so I could construct super pull on the heat for him doing that warming of socks off brought slowly not rapidly put them in hot water all not everybody doing all the time just something as simple as that taking it put there a dry pair of socks on taking his other socks under his armpits and warming them up exactly part of the body and putting them on his feet swapping them back at Bullard just extra little warmth I got the blood flowing back again in his feet now his body started exactly after like five times all of a sudden my feet could sustain the heat I was good person tonight and I didn't you to swap it anymore I slept like a baby man most most of it most of the time in cold weather that's the biggest thing people most of the time your feet start to get cold and once your feet start to get cold the rest of your body

folks if you can't get your feet warm you're toast

like there's no way you're going to get the rest of your body turned out and warmed up and I've seen even I've seen that even myself my toes started to get gold or something like that you got to get them warm give them the rest your body gets cool so you get in a groove and then you slowly start to add a little more speed a little more pressure oh I think though yeah there we go you want to blow them very very gently well in some cases you can let the wind do it I'm going to do it now you can even depend on the breeze moving back and forth a little bit so you don't have to blow it all depend on your tinder bundle for how strong your Amber is you can blow sparks or the Ember all the way through to your hand so you want a nice tight tinder bundle
