and i just dont like the airs dry by heating, which hurts my skin and throat and the smell of kerosene causes me a bad headache.

Wrong, the head it is, where the body heat gets lost. Heat always goes up and out as in a chimney. A good ushanka would be more important than germy slippers.Takechanpoo wrote:your body gets to be cold from your feet.

I don't mind slippers but hardly need them to keep me warm as I wear merino wool and olefin socks. Cotton socks are fucking terrible.

Word. Those merino wool socks are the shit. My last pair just wore out. Gotta get more before next winter.

Hmm, I tried this out just this winter, because I heard this theory - sometimes in great detail - from several sources and was puzzlified. Did some doggie walks with good foot wear, but no hat and then some dog walks barefoot in my crocks but with a warm hat. The latter definitely felt warmer and more comfy to me. But then, it was not really cold, just about freezing.matsuki wrote:He's using soccermom "logic" Grumpy.

When some native american with an axe to grind aboot smallpox blankets give winter living advices going against a prepper...
You cover your hands and feets to protect them from freezing injuries, you cover your head and chest to stay alive...
But for some people the brain seems to be designed only as a blood cooling device... (Belief held by most of my highschool teachers... Especially the math teachers...)
Sidenote, didun't check the video (internet dreadfully slow these days) but I hope he cover the importance of layered clothing that you can pull on/off to avoid -at all cost- sweating in cold weather/heavy clothes.

Nope, he assumes that he doesn't have that many clothes.
Rather, he makes the straw man argument that one should dress like a Muslim woman...

Interesting this, thanks. Though it doesn't say, how much heat you lose without proper head gear vs with headgear. To go walk the dogs in winter wearing only a swim suit as the article says, though, is IMO a slightly less realistic scenario. But then, these are the scientists, not me; what do I know...

Maybe, the (flawed?) perception comes as well from the memories of days long past, when my younger self often went into the great outdoors and spent the odd cold autumn/winter night somewhere in the mountains tucked up behind a rock to protect me from the wind and half of the rain/snow. Regulation of tempereture was easily done by sticking my head out of the sleeping bag when too warm and pulling it back in, when it got too cold.wagyl wrote:You are correct that perception of cold and where body heat actually dissipates from can be different. I know that I feel a lot happier about my conditions if my feet are warm. Even though I generally dislike hats, I do wear them when it is cold enough. Then again, I also have a hairy face.
