Hypothermia, etc.

You've now crossed the boundary into profound hypothermia. By the time your core temperature has fallen to 88 degrees, your body has abandoned the urge to warm itself by shivering. Your blood is thickening like crankcase oil in a cold engine. Your oxygen consumption, a measure of your metabolic rate, has fallen by more than a quarter. Your kidneys, however, work overtime to process the fluid overload that occurred when the blood vessels in your extremities constricted and squeezed fluids toward your center. You feel a powerful urge to urinate, the only thing you feel at all.

tl;dr -> Don't get lost in the woods in -35 degree conditions.

Very good read.

I feel like this is life saving information and since I snowmobile a lot it's probably going to help at some point, although I hope not. That would suck.
