INFANTRYMAN'S GUIDE: Individual Considerations for Wet Cold Environment
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- In this episode of Infantryman's guide we will look at a some individual considerations for operating in a wet cold environment. Wet cold environments are one of the most dangerous to operate in and if you do not have the know how or proper gear, the environment will get you long before the enemy ever has a chance.

Hey brother I added some more of that pic rail spike bayonet content if you want to check it out
They won't even let you do livestreams anymore. Even soldiers are no longer able to speak freely. Much less air a grievance. Blessed be to you, Brother.

It is not military or civilian power than can sort this mess out. When the chips fall, I expect we will stand together.
Don't forget best book, Winter Survival handbook. Military edition.
If you wore N95 mask under ski mask you get no freeze. Also Nitrate gloves and a leather baseball gloves are great combo.
Hey Brent, I don't think people would mind much longer videos, don't underestimate people's attention span when it comes to interesting subjects.
True. Brent don’t him haw around. To the point.
Fuken A! Keep talkin XD XD
Or another option is to make several in depth but focused videos on the subjects. a 30 minute video on cold weather clothing, 30 minute video on cold weather tactics ect.
Wet cold is the worst. -5 to 5 degrees just suck because once something is wet in aint getting dry without an effort. If its colder the snow wont melt on you instanly and you can easily brush it off. But that death zone will just creep into your bones.
If anyone for any reason would like to experience this constantly, I 'warmly' invite you to the UK in January 😂 Seriously though, I think it's the best environment to make you a switched on, unflappable person - You have to constantly, forever, always be on top of your game, or you'll get colder and wetter and eventually become a big problem.
I'd rather a dry -20 than -1 and damp. Pure evil lol
Imagine the trenches in Ukraine right now. Christ. Those temps + constant artillery/drones + I’m scared and got to shit. Oof feels bad for those folks
@@SPiderman-rh2zk In Scotland we refer to this type of weather as being ‘Dreich’ (adj). Long- drawn-out, protracted, hence tedious, wearisome; damp, wet grey weather all occurring at the same time. Truly dull and gloomy to have to endure.
Wet cold is the devil. Dry cold further down isn't so bad except when you are active and then come to a sudden stop and all your sweat starts to freeze and you feel like shit. I remember seeing royal marine mountain leaders stripping naked to dig shelters in arctic Norway so they wouldn't get sweaty, and its smart honestly. Being wet is just miserable, wet dry drills are just so mentally depressing, getting your wet kit on to stag and then lying in the cold for half an hour cuddling your mate for warmth...
Great video as always! Love watching the instructional stuff.
Regular boots go in your sleeping bag at night not next to it during freezing temps or they will freeze by morning. Hot rocks in old wool socks will definitely help them dry, or hanging them over a stove for 20-30 minutes can help. otherwise cleaning them and putting them loosely on your feet to sleep in is another option. Bringing leather sneakers to change into while you dry your boots, and to sleep in, really helps as well to not only keep your feet warm but to allow you to get up quickly in the night. Below 28F down booties are a must. You can’t sleep with frozen feet. If you take care of your head, hands and feet, life is a whole lot easier. Also placing insulated foam foil inserts from Walmart to stop the cold from coming up through the bottom of your boots or sneakers is also a must. As is standing on bows and sitting on foam pad to conserve heat loss. Below 40F I now use rubber boots and Wiggys socks or liners. No need for regular socks as moisture goes through them keeping my feet warm. I wear the same pair against my skin 24hours for 2-3 days camping. No more trying to get my warm feet into frozen boots. With a suspenders and ALICE or war belt rig, one or two canteens can go inside your jacket or coat and will not fall out or freeze. I also separate drink mix into small sandwich baggies to mix with my 1 quart canteens to keep my water intake up. And I keep a 2 quart GI flexible canteen in my assault pack. And an old 3 cup thermos in my main pack for hot water . I bring a detachable DIY fleece hood if it’s really cold or to sleep in. And often use a base ball cap and fleece watch cap over or under it, and some times two fleece watch caps with a fleece neck gaiter if really cold. I also use GI wool glove inserts in rubber gloves for wet work, and GI wool inserts in leather gloves for general tasks and weapon use. Which works down to 28F. I will use the inserts in mitts if temps drop below 28 down to as low -8F. Fleece gloves are great if stationary above 30F or for sleeping. And I use either a 2 or 3 lb down sleeping bag down to 40 or 30F. And a wiggys 20F or zero bag if needed. i also bring both a foam camo painted folding zip matt air and compact air matt. Air matt is placed in the bag. Sun glasses are also a must. I bring peanut butter as it is high in fat and calories.
I don't know if the US Army/Marines have anything similar, but the CAF issues us with goretex socks which just go over your actual socks and then under your boot, and they reach all the way up to just below your knees, it's an absolute lifesaver. On an ex recently, it was only -10 and we were on a patrol and had to cross a frozen creek, the ice broke under my feet and the water went all the way up to my shins, but I was completely fine solely because of the goretex socks which stopped the water from actually getting to my socks. One of my buddies wasn't wearing his goretex socks since he was never issued them, and he almost had to be pulled from the ex because he went hypothermic after the ice broke on him and he fell through. My feet were nice and dry (my boots weren't, which made my feet colder, but it was just uncomfortably cold rather than freezing cold.)
I also love my goretex socks in the tent, our 10 man tents don't have floors and putting groundsheets in the tent causes them to freeze to the ground overnight as your stove melts the snow and then it refreezes when you turn the stove off the next day. (You can't have your stove running without someone inside on stovewatch, otherwise there's a very high risk of the tent burning down. As a result, whenever you're doing a stand-to, you have to turn your stove off.) As a result, our tent "floors" end up being pretty wet and miserable, so having goretex socks on until you slip into your bivy bag is wonderful when you're in that uncomfortable spot when you're stripping down to slip into your fartsack. The only issue with the goretex socks is that your sweat can't escape your feet, so you have to change your socks more often, but I was personally completely fine only changing my socks twice a day.
Also, when you're on stovewatch, it's the perfect time to put your boots just over the stove to just dry them ever-so-slightly, your boots WILL freeze from being wet and cold when your feet aren't in them if they aren't next to the stove.
I've also heard of people getting goretex overboots, but it's not issued kit and I've never worn them personally, but I imagine they're pretty gucci too.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU PREP BEFORE THE FIELD. DON'T WAIT TILL YOU ARE OUT THERE.
I agree with a lot of the other comments. There’s no such thing as a “lite fighter” in those conditions. My ruck goes from about 30lbs to about 50lbs in winter conditions.
Staying warm, dry, and fed is more challenging than most people think. Doing it for a weekend is hard. Doing it for a week is dangerous. Doing it for two to three weeks is practically impossible.
You can’t carry enough calories into the field to sustain yourself. Batteries die faster. Cooking and heating fuel runs out faster.
And on one final note…
Get long wool socks that extend above your boots. Pull them on over your base layer. The socks being outside the boots and the base layer will help wick the sweat away from your feet inside your boots. You still need to dry your feet at every opportunity, but giving your socks an evaporation path will help a little bit.
50 pounds on the light end of winter loads too lol
I'm glad you hammered down on the fact you can't pack light and expect to live in a cold weather involvement. I recommend folks get in better shape so you can carry what's necessary instead of sacrificing gear and possibly your life. Good stuff buddy!
My first thought when faced with cold AO is always “fuck me I need a million things I can hear my knees popping already” 😂
"Ask not for a lighter load, but for broader shoulders"
Exactly what I'm doing now..57 and retired 2/508. I'm rucking and weight lifting everyday.
@@victorygarden556 ain't that the truth brother! Lolol
Wet = 😐
Cold = 😐
Wet & Cold = 😖
Great information as always!
As an infantryman in the Norwegian army, I have discovered an effective method for conserving water during cold winter. Using a CamelBak fixed around the chest and extending the drinking hose through the right arm provides easy access. This arrangement capitalizes on body heat to maintain warm water temperature,
This approach ensures a consistently warm temperature for a more comfortable hydration experience.
However, when using this approach, it is necessary to expel the water back into the tank after drinking to prevent spillage into your gloves or the water freezing solid.
That's slick bro! I like it!
I didn't know to spit back into the hose. Thank you.
You cant sweat... then freeze... work in this weather for 43years and still at it.... be grateful thankful for a life you live no matter where there you are, be humble. Always think ahead understand the partnership repecting the weather it is your ally. Be centered, carry on life is grand.
As a Floridian this was very helpful for me because we have been getting temperatures as low as 59 degrees and this really helps thx Brent.
Lmao.. amazing comment
No seriously I lack knowledge in cold weather survival and Brent really taught me the entry knowledge like Gore Tex.
59 degrees is summer where I live, we're still walking around in t-shirts!
I don't do any infantry style stuff anymore but as an outdoorsman and hunter I use layer system also. First layer is moisture wicking (silk weights). For pants I wear Coleman fleece lined pants. Upper layer moisture wicking, long sleeved shirt, and then the Polar Tec black fleece. Camo breathable neck gaiter and brown fleece watch cap. I usually have gloves with me but don't always wear them. I like being able to feel the trigger.
I love how you talk like you’re giving a hip pocket class to a bunch of Marines. I feel like my team leader is about to bitch at me for not having my note taking gear lol.
Great to see a fellow retired Infantry Senior NCO pass on our skills to good people. There’s a good reason why new enlistees tell their Recruiter; “I’ll take any job but Infantry!”. You have to change your mindset when going into various field environments because none of them are easy to operate in. Cold weather is a serious environment to function in, you must put on and remove layers of clothing as the temperature changes for when you’re indoors and outdoors, never get lazy and skip this. Old school Grunts would use thick ladies panty hose underneath their BDU trousers and it kept them nice and warm while we wondered why they weren’t freezing. Just buy a large size so they’re not so tight like the ladies wear them. The other benefit with those pantyhose is they take up very little space and are lightweight in the ruck and you can stuff a couple pair in the ruck with minimal impact. Proper boots is priority number one, NEVER assume a damn thing when it comes to footwear, KNOW that they’ll keep you warm and you can ruck march in them without getting blisters. The old Mickey Mouse boots are excellent for when you’re sitting in an LP/OP, sitting in a vehicle or minimal walking distance, those things are amazing and worth the investment. The Army issued us black colored “silk weight” underwear and they work great. For gloves, have a couple pair since you may lose, damage or get them wet and need another pair to prevent cold weather injuries. Some would use a Goretex liner but then you have to make sure the gloves are a size larger to fit over the Goretex liners. Little things like reliving yourself in the woods can be a pain in the ass since it takes a minute to open everything up and hope you didn’t get crap on something, lol.
The plus side is that the enemy is also sucking in this environment and will make a lot of mistakes like missing small things that would normally alert them to an ambush or claymore mine on their trail. Always remember that sound will travel up to 3 times farther in cold weather so practice tighter noise discipline and when on patrol stop periodically to listen to the environment, you’ll be able to hear a lot since there’s almost no critters making noise we usually hear in the summer months. When we sleep, keep one boot on and the other nearby so if you have to get up in an emergency you won’t be completely screwed. Your MRE’s will also become frozen when left out in the cold so there’s many ways to get them warm without the heaters but just pull out the MRE parts that need to be warmed up and put them in the bottom of your fart sack or near the Yukon stove but know which ones are yours to prevent drama, sticking a couple of them in your boot by the stove is one way. If you’re using a Yukon stove it’s wise to put a little bit of Mogas with the 5 gallon diesel can, about 3/4 of a gallon in the 5 gallon container is fine, this makes it burn cleaner and easier to adjust. So many other small skills to mention on this topic but this is the broad strokes of the subject based on my experience and I hope it helps you.

@echohunter4199 sgt im a 19D PFC could we speak?
@@theexperimental8671 no problem young man. Forgive me though, I’ve never figured out how to use the private message features on this app.
PCSed to Alaska from New Mexico last August. I’ve been learning to live in the snow. As a native Texan I always just thought snow was snow. I never understood the difference between dry and wet snow until I moved here. Now I wear my gortex no matter what. Water resistant stuff is a death trap. If it’s not fully waterproof I don’t want it. I can strip off my lower under levels to cool off but my outer waterproof shell stays on. I’m not risking getting wet anymore.
I can't stand the heat, but I have a lot of respect for the cold! Thanks for your information. I'm not a member of the military, but I'm a nature lover and a so-called bushcrafter. That's why I can learn and apply a few things from your videos (especially when it comes to a backpack, or clothing or something like that). Thanks for this Brent!
Greetings Torsten
With respect to boots, I switch from a rough-out leather (Danner Desert Acadia ) in the dry, to a full-grain leather (Danner Ft. Lewis insulated and Sno-Sealed) in the wet. I find the rough-out leather gets completely soaked and cold quickly.
My biggest issue in the cold when it gets windy is my eyes start watering up like the first time i saw dad slap mom at the supper table. Also sunglasses are a must when the sun starts reflecting off the snow
Sorry about your dick dad
I wear the big classic sand, wind n dust goggles with the tinted lense for snow
I have spent some seriously wet and miserable nights in foxholes, and Let Me Tell You Folks it absolutely sucks.
Boots and Gloves are extremely essential nothing f**ks me up more than cold feet and hands. A real morale breaker. German Army standard issue canteen has always been metal, warm them up a little at the fire, pack them in your sleeping bag and you´ll sleep like heaven.
Ive been getting my guys ready for cold/wet weather ops for an upcoming milsim airsoft event in march and i can only cover so much from my experiences in the Corps. Ive been referring them to a lot of your videos and I love having a direct grunt type of application since thats exactly what we're doing. Thanks Brent and im looking forward to more content!!!
A battle of the Bulge vet told me that he'd dry his socks by sticking them inside his jacket and shirt close to his body. He'd rotate his socks that way. They also melted snow to fill their canteens in a pinch -probably wouldn't do that today, haha.
You are an absolute national treasure, and I would love for all of your videos to be hours and hours long!
This is why they always said you don't invade Russia during the winter.
As if anyone did that.
Also, current situation in Ukraine tells us that frozen ground is much better than mud.
@@randomnobodovsky3692 You being sarcastic? If not WW2 would like to have a few words with you.
Gosh, I hate wet cold- living in country that has relatively mild winters jumping from 0C up to -15C on average and experiencing it every late fall and winter. I remember one guy who was my fathers friend and served in Siberia in Soviet army said that the cold didn't felt that bad there, because it was dry. Thanks for sharing usefull information.
Hey, Brent I really like your channel. I have recently subbed to it, and Randall over at Grunt proof, and Bill Stokermatic have both mentioned you, and are the reason I found your channel. Good guys. It is hard to find trained people with experience, and a like mindedness in our approach to when things go bad. There are so many teaching people things that could for sure get them killed. I am glad you do what you do, and happy to be a part of your channel. I really like the mouth on that French canteen. I'm glad you brought that up.
Welcome aboard brother.
HotHands disposable hand warmers in your boots at night. Hand warmers for gloves, body, weapons, everything. Take lots!
Powdered graphite is your weapon's friend in cold environments. Petroleum based lubricants turn to glue in cold environments. Clean it all off and use the graphite.
Hey buddy in the video at around 0.45 it shows a guy with a multicam pack cover. This looks to be about the same cover the the British military uses. I recently ordered one from eBay and when it arrived it wasn’t what I was expecting. It looks like a cotton type of material and not a nylon one like I thought it was. Do you guys treat these pack covers to waterproof them or are they ok without any special or extra attention. Quite a bit heavier than I thought as well. Thanks. Any insight would be greatly appreciated
In Russia today -22. So prepare more carefully...
please keep this sort of stuff up. Knowing SOP type info helps a ton for when I am in these places
You think that the infantry has it ruff? Try being in a artillery battery in the field in winter your sitting around waiting for a mission we don't have heaters or tents so we sit and freeze plus if a mission comes
We have to content with slippery footing while handling cannon ammo
Brent, you are the Man brother. Thank you for sharing your passion!!!
Wet cold = typical UK and Northern European weather.
Mad respect for those old timers in the Korean War. Talk about misery
Your unity risers aren’t going to prevent hypothermia
😂😂
There is going to be a lot of free NVGs and plate carriers to pick off of the dead gucci gear fanatics who never trained to live off the range.
Hypothermia. It sucks.
If you've ever done a CTC in Korea, you'll know lol
What is the brand and style/model of the boots?
@brent0331
Would be awesome to get you up to Maine some year. My group of guys have been putting on a winter event similar to winter forge. We started doing it back in 2019. Up here you need a bit more gear like snowshoes and sleds to move equipment and men around.
Would be killer if you came up and did a video up here, right now we have around 15 to 20 guys who participate
Awesome video brother.
I know we're talking wet cold here, but if we're talking extreme cold, where there's not a big risk of stuff melting, I have to caution against gortex boots. Ive been in extreme cold environments with warm gortex boots. You say it in this vjdeo, but in that environment your feet will sweat, the boot will get wet, it wont dry out, and your feet will freeze. Wet cold is a different story, though.
What brand and style/name of the boots?
Awesome info, always referencing your videos to the guys when were doing ftx's
👊🇺🇸
Good stuff!!!!
Thanks Brent! If u don't mind. At what temp while moving are u wearing the wicking layer and gortex only!
My tip for any liquid, is to put it in my sleeping bag with me, if you dont have a heat source.
Great stuff!!!
We had a "bear suit" in Korea, looked like the outfit the kid in "A Christmas Story" had, "I can't put my arms down". We also got issued Matterhorn boots. For me as long as my feet are dry I'm good to go.
Drop a comment if you ever trained @ the Marine Mountain Warfare Training Center aka Pickle Meadows near Bridgeport, CA. My Dad was the CO in the mid to late 80s... he's the one who was smart enough to install a tow rope so Marines didn't waste time packing skis uphill just to learn to ski. My Dad was also the test model for that wool sweater they adopted from the British military. Semper fi.
I think this is a really important topic. Staying comfortable and avoiding being a heat casualty is one thing, beings able to function in cold wet to extreme cold environments is much more difficult.
Glad you talked about water. Hydration still is required even when it's not summer and you're not thirsty. Take in hydration.
20 degrees and below is the beast for me. Everyone has a different beast level.
Whats the name or type of camouflage the guy setting up the tent at 0:56 is wearing? It looks like an inverted berezka "birch" or "sunray" camouflage, but I don't know the name, any info on that would be nice
I haven’t seen the trigger mitts forever. Couldn’t find 1 thing wrong. Exact same as I operated in the far north. The layers of clothes as described do actually work down past -50c with warm up periods.
Working on the farm listing to Brent say "force yourself to drink water" while forcing myself to drink water because it's 35°.
The modern infantryman, (either by themselves or with a group), MUST learn how to effectively use AND defend against UAV, aka “drones”, otherwise you will be toast in a fight.
Only one sentence from the instructors at the time comes to mind, "Stop putting your fucking hands in your pockets!! Put on gloves!!!!"
Soaked, wind... the chopper landing.... and handling P.O.L equipment it's a bit complicated guys.
My 2 cents on topic. Do you guys use tshirt and shorts? Or put wool liner directly on skin?
My ECW gear are 5layers.
1.tshirt+boxers
2.wool liner top+bottom
3. BDU
4. Syntetic insulation puff (if need be)
5. Goretex
On hands I have regular summer gloves and mittens
On feet I have thick wool socks and goretex. If you use syntetic puff insulator then you dont have benefits of goretex.
Next, I dont strip for marching. I just drink cold water and use that exess heat to warm it inside. Then I dont have to force water in me or heat it before drinking.
I learn SO much and apply it !! ☝️☝️
Especially; with the recent California 💦💦 !! 😮👍💪💯
🙏🇺🇸🙏
Winter is fun, I live in Finland and I learned most of my lessons by freezing lol but -32c isn't that bad, the worst is 0-5C when its humid
Thank you for Info box with Level 1 to Level 7.
Did you not going with weapon in the sleeping bag, where is control the weapon outside the tent?
Did you going with the boots in the sleeping bag roll and not deformation?
The big german containers for Gasoline/Benzin are standing normaly but one hanging on tripod. How is the circulation routine of the three container in frost time?
Did you have two separatly cloves in the Rucksack or one in the jacket and other one in rucksack?
Can you visualy the frost problems with AK 47 models and AR 15 models like the youtube chanel Kalschnikov Group? Meaning the malfunction.
Good luck with the light rucksack pack... ;P
Just imagine our boys at Valley Forge..poor equipment, low morale, brutal cold..and they pushed through.
Washington and Oregon States Pacific NorthWest Coastal Mountains from November 20 until March 1st is the toughest place to Survive in The lower 48 States. If you want to test your gear and Survival Skills that is the Place.
Awesome vid. Also an artificial (polartec or acrylic) light hat for active time and heavy wool for static. My worst memories are light Lurpin excercise in cold wet enviro. One night we had rain then below zero (C) my friends fatex snaped , and frozen pouches turned into plastic. We had to move all the time to survive , eventualy we raided over 50 miles in 24h. Glory days! XD XD My toes and tighs itch when i recall that LOL
Woodland blends so much better
Wooly pully was my comfort item. Always wore one. I have 3 different colors 💯 wool 🐑🐏
Edit: Hated wet feet 😂
Cover yourself. I'm in Ohio and last weekend just going across the parking lot to get groceries. Burnt my face to hell and gone. Not fun.
In Korea, In a field base area I would wear my black micky mouse boots. on movements , my Matterhorn's.
To be fair i live in a a mobile home and my walls are made of paper... So yes, it will blow my wall apart. But thats why i have bird shot. Because likw you said, it wont kill them but it will make them run away.
10th Mountain Flashbacks incoming! 🥶🇺🇸
People have no clue how hard survival in the cold is.
Your hands wanna fall off, fingers dont work anymore, you re cold. Your toes hurt.
Anything fine motor skills is a no go after an hour or 2-3.
Mushers up here in Alaska sled dog team wear all this gear they wear the oversized military mittens and they all wear bunny boots
Leave it outside..you won’t be in a firefight in your tent..humidity kills
Good video, few questions. What do you do for Water? What do you do if someone wet? Also Nitrate gloves are great secondary cold and wet resistant gloves. Also how long your batteries last in the cold? All electronics are horrible in the cold.
Recently did an operation in the wet cold. Got barely below freezing, but man is he right about it being a bigger threat than the enemy itself. Also, I'll admit I was today years old when I learned about that winter trigger feature.
My tip is get really good wool socks if all you have is really good wool socks you have a really good chance
One trick to prevent water in your canteen from freezing is to use a shoelace or a similar rope to tie the canteen around your neck. Tying it around your neck allows you to carry it inside your clothing thus keeping the water warm. I was taugh this trick during my time as a conscript. Especially useful technique when using skis.
Odd question. What is the bare minimum or standard items that should be in your kit ? There are videos about it out there, but everyone has there own opinion. Im not some secret operator , just an American looking for real info. Thanks
What i do with skiing is i wear the 3 hole balaclava and a neck gaiter to protect your lips from cold winds. The moment the piece of cloth in front of your mouth is frozen you turn your gaiter a little.
What about wearing body armor in cold environments?
I was doing winter warfare in the military in the 1980"s and we survived fine without the gore tex. The problem with gore tex in the winter is it is very noisy when on the move.
How about a quick release on your optics. Just leave your optics outside?
I Learned why recently but my feet sweat when they get cold and Im trying to get them warm, and its cause the feet are getting so much heat they are sweating but are cold, wtf do i do: edit When Im not even walking around, like when I sleep or am idle.
As a swedish soldier we try to always keep at thermos full with hot water. When you use some, you fill it with new hot water. If you keep the waterbottle near the only heat source there is, the body it wont freece and you will always have it close. You can always melt snow that way aswell. Always boil water and ad to the field bottle and use it for extra heat when sleeping, that way you can replentish what the body looses. Thanks for the video.
Cover the rifle rack with a tarp or ur jacket so it doesn’t get wet and frozen. You gotta move to someplace cold for awhile for some real training man.
Small amount of pure cornstarch powder is good to use, but not too much as it’ll cake up with moisture.
Black soldiers fail in the cold so much so, when they laid down, the general left them in the field with their misery, we failed ever since integration...

Cold and wet kicks my butt every time. My fault.
2A❤️🇺🇸❤️ Let’s go Brandon FJB
You’ve never been cold till you’ve been Infantry Cold. 🥶
Please do talk for hours! Maby you could make a cold weather video 2?
Deployed to Norway, lived in Colorado, hunted in Alaska but the coldest ive been? Virginia. Wet, rainy winters that bounce between 20 to 40 in a constant cycle of freezing and thawing.
I think the cold / wet, where maybe it’s just above freezing during the day, then in the teens at night is the hardest. That oscillating temperature really makes everything tough.
Because you have to manage the cold, but then everything keeps getting wet which makes it harder. At least if it just holds in the teens or below it just stays cold, but it doesn’t thaw out and soak stuff all the time.
If they have short attention spans do you really want to share this knowledge and wisdom with flakes
The intro makes me think Duke Nukem is gonna pop out and tell me about a peer reviewed study he has
Thanks Brent.
No worse feeling than taking a dump in freezing rain and sleet!
If your boots are wet just poor liquor in them it raises the freezing point.
The only way to go in extreme cold, is bunny boots!
