The MVP question (was - 10 Sucks !)
"Commander Kinsey" wrote
I'd have a field day if civilisation didn't exist and we had to live outdoors. Good luck plugging in your computer to a mossy tree. For that matter, good luck having a field day. There'd be no time for such frippery. |

Shivering doesn't mean you're going to die, it means you've lost 1 or 2C (out of 17C required to die) and your body is shivering to prevent further heat loss, not to mention brown fat cells generating heat, and of course limiting heat loss by adjusting blood flow to the skin. I have a small amount of experience with it. At 68F, I've swum for two hours. Days when no one else at the beach would go in the water. The trick is to keep moving, and if "standing" in the water, to jog on the spot. That helps balance the heat loss. At 49F, I could swim about 50 feet along a dock, and barely had enough limbs left to grab the ladder and get out. I had a helper on the dock, ready to assist if necessary. And that's wearing swim trunks. Wow, it's amazing you're still alive if you're that wimpy. Are you one of those people like my 50 year old (so not old and frail) neighbour who actually puts a jacket on to walk round to my house 3 doors away if it's under 10C? |

I'd manage without. 99% of modern people would die of shock when they got no mobile phone signal, it's pathetic. My phone provider actually offered me compensation (without me asking) because I'd had to go without a data connection for 1 whole day. I hadn't even noticed as I never use it! For that matter, good luck having a field day. There'd be no time for such frippery. Plenty of fields to roll around on naked. Want some wild sex? |

What's so wonderful about living in brick houses? |

That luxury depends on being able to go home afterward, have food in the frig, and poison ivy crean in the medicine cabinet. Otherwise it's not a luxury. It's just survival. But I know what you mean. We used to prepare for disasters. Today few people are ready to survive for 24 hours without power and transportation. I recently discovered there's a magazine called "Living Bravely OUTDOORS". No joke. It's for politically correct millennials and features articles about ethnically and racially ambiguous millennials going outdoors, as a hobby! They mountain bike, surf, hike, etc. With the proper equipment, gear, clothing, and prepared foodstuffs, of course. Then I suppose they go home and tweet it. |

I know what you mean - we in the UK have a company called "Blacks" who sell tents etc. Their slogan is "Blacks - for the great outdoors." If you're wrapped up in a cosy sleeping bag and a tent, you're not outdoors! When I go camping, I just find a soft bit of grass and lie down to sleep for the night. I don't need to be wrapped in cotton wool. |
