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.

Are you serious? 10 seconds? Water is never cold enough to get out
that quickly. I can swim in zero degrees C water for a couple of
hours. Humans are warm blooded. 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?

If "civilisation didn't exist and we had to live outdoors", every day
would be a field day. Of course, we wouldn't call it that.

No, we'd call it heaven. Civilisation is a piece of ****. 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.

Fridges and medicine cabinets are luxuries, not necessities.

You don't need to prepare. Every animal other than humans doesn't bother with that ****.

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.

More bull**** from you. You're an expert in it.

A google search will quickly show that what you state is impossible.


For who? Everyone is identical are they?

Here are just a couple of web sites:

https://gcaptain.com/cold_water/

https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...n-hypothermia/


Mythbusters showed it's 2 hours for the average person. You're believing the
same old wives tales that tell us you catch a cold from being cold. You're so gullible.


bull****.

Send me a contact request and I'll explain there in the 'message'
facility. Usenet is not the best place to communicate if one wishes to
include personal information.


I don't use linkedin!* That's my problem!

You forgot "hi-tech" in front of "mountain bike,..."


I know someone who spends more on his mountain bike than I do on my car. Just so he can have it 20 grammes lighter.
