I read a post of a gentleman on a different forum that suffered hypothermia. He had great difficulty just getting his PJ cotton balls out to use them.

I now carry two mini Ziploc bags of Coghlan's Emergency Tinder. You can see them, you can cut into them and if you drop and lose one you are still good to go. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Think in terms of having an IQ just above a rock, only able to use one hand and you are freezing your a$$ off. Hope for the best, but plan for the worst! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
