"It's very humbling, but it's weird because when I first started doing the show, some people would say: 'You know, someday you're going to save a life with this' and you just sort of write it off," Stroud said in an interview from his office in Huntsville, Ont.

Note the justification for living off snow for hydration. Les has a good point - as long as you are moving and creating body heat, the cooling effect of the snow is much less a concern than staying hydrated. Score one for the Canuck.
