Veterans of camping will have learned these and probably have a few ideas of their own. Examine your camp site carefully before setting up the tent. That nice flat spot, is it a low point? If you camp in a hollow, you may end up camping in a puddle if it starts raining. Is this a new or borrowed tent? If so, put that rain fly on NOW even if the sky is blue. You can take it off, now that you know how to put it on. The tent will breath better with it off. But make sure you remember where it is. I met a couple who learned the hard way just the night before. They didn't know know what the rain fly was, and put it under their tent as ground cover. It rained on them, and that's when they realize something was wrong. Reading the instructions in the middle of the night with the rain pouring down on them, they realized what they had done. So they had to unstake the tent, move it, and place the rain fly over the tent, which was rather soggy by this point.

Survival is no accident. The Givens Buoy Life Raft ... when your life depends on it. Cold Water Survival Intro Surviving First Aid Hypothermia is defined as subnormal body temperature - a lowering of the body core temperature. Unconsciousness can occur when the body core temperature drops from normal [98.6 F (37 C)] to approximately 86 F (30 C). Cold Water Kills Safety experts estimate that half of all drowning victims actually die from the fatal effects of cold water, or hypothermia, and not from water filled lungs . Loss of body heat is one of the greatest hazards to survival when you fall overboard, capsize or jump into the water. Cold water robs the body of heat 25-30 times faster than air. When you lose enough body heat to make your temperature subnormal, you become hypothermic. Sudden immersion in cold water cools your skin and outer tissues very quickly. Within 10 or 15 minute, your core body temperature (brain, spinal cord, heart and lungs) begins to drop, your arms and legs become numb and completely useless. You may lose consciousness and drown before your core temperature drops low enough to cause death. Body Hot Spots Certain areas of your body are "hot spots" that lose large amounts of heat faster than other areas.

83. Hypothermia Teva Tip 20 Effects of hypothermia. hypothermia is a fancy way of saying a person could freeze to death. It s interesting to note http://www.jewishnaturecenter.org/html/hypothermia.html

New Jersey YMHA-YWHA Camps Teva Tip 20 - Effects of Hypothermia Hypothermia is a fancy way of saying a person could freeze to death. It's interesting to note that at least half of the hypothermia cases I've encountered have come in the summer months when unexpected cold fronts caught people unprepared. March is one of those months that can be very tricky – acting sometimes like winter and sometimes like spring. DON'T GET FOOLED. Hypothermia isn't one of those things you can experience without danger. However, it is possible to see how quickly cold can immobilize you without doing any damage. To do this, take a pitcher and fill with water and ice cubes. Let it sit long enough until the water is as cold as it can get (which will be in the upper 30 degree F. range). Place you hand in the water for 1 minute and then remove and try to strike a match. Kids, don't do this without your parents understanding what you're doing. Try it again, if you want, leaving your hand in the water for 2 minutes. It won't take long before you see how quickly you lose the ability even to strike a match. Treat hypothermia with respect and take what you need to stay dry and warm.

85. Hypothermia VOLUME 12, NUMBER 4, WINTER 1988. hypothermia by AR (Sandy) Anderson. One of the greatest dangers to outdoor enthusiasts is hypothermia. http://www.gov.ns.ca/natr/wildlife/conserva/12-04-8.htm

VOLUME 12 NUMBER 4 WINTER 1988 Hypothermia by: A.R. (Sandy) Anderson One of the greatest dangers to outdoor enthusiasts is hypothermia. This is a condition in which the body has lost more heat than it could produce. The result is a drop in the body's core temperature which could lead to death. Some people believe that hypothermia can only happen in extreme cold. This is not true. If you are wet, exposed to wind or exhausted, even air temperatures of 5o to 10o C (40o to 50o F) can be lethal. The best way to avoid hypothermia is to prepare for your activity by following some basic rules: Dress for the weather Stay dry -wear rain gear in damp or rainy weather. You lose heat 240 times faster when you are wet than when you are dry. Wear a hat - over 20% of your body heat is lost through your scalp and facial areas. By wearing a warm hat you can drastically cut heat loss. Wool caps are best, they will keep you warm even when wet. Dress in layers - match the amount of insulation you wear to your activity level and prevent overheating and perspiration. A thin windproof shell (nylon jacket) should be worn overtop to prevent too much heat loss too quickly. Avoid exhaustion - Set a reasonable pace. Take along high energy foods and eat nutritious meals at regular intervals.

PREVENTION: Avoid Exposure Terminate Exposure Never Ignore Shivering Beware Of Exhaustion ... Be Prepared AVOID EXPOSURE STAY DRY. When clothes get wet, they lose about ninety percent of their insulating value. Wool loses less as does many of the new synthetics. Cotton and wet down are worthless. BEWARE OF THE WIND. A slight breeze carries heat away from bare skin much faster than still air. Wind drives cold air under and through clothing. Wind refrigerates wet clothes by evaporating moisture from the surface. WIND MULTIPLIES THE PROBLEMS OF STAYING DRY. If you have been in the water and you are wearing a T-shirt that is wet remove it and you will retain more heat. Direct sunlight on the skin helps in the warming process. UNDERSTANDING COLD. Most hypothermia cases develop in air temperatures between 30 and 50 degrees. Most outdoor enthusiast simply can't believe such temperatures can be dangerous. They fatally underestimate the danger of being wet at such temperatures. Fifty degree water is unbearably cold. The cold that kills is cold water running down your neck and legs, and cold water removing body heat from the surface of your clothes. Top Of Section TERMINATE EXPOSURE If you can not stay dry and warm under existing weather conditions, using the clothes you have with you, do whatever is necessary to be less exposed.

Dr. Lucy L. Pinkston, D.V.M. in this series: First Aid Outdoors - Eye injuries Life-threatening traumatic injuries dog.com vet@dog Your portable "Cold Weather Kit" should include the following first aid items: Absorbent towels for drying the dog if wet. "Space Blanket" or other heat-reflective blanket. Thick sport-weight socks (children's sizes to fit dog's paws), 2 pair: to cover the paws in case of frostbite or other foot injury, plus tape to keep them on. If your dog has short hair or is not used to the cold weather, take along a fitted dog-jacket, in case he gets colder than you expect. Frostbite The preliminary signs of frostbite in dogs are easily missed because the areas that are affected are usually covered with hair. The areas of the body most frequently involved are the ear tips, tail, scrotum, and other exposed extremities. When frozen or near-frozen, the skin appears very pale. As the skin warms, it becomes somewhat reddened and the area becomes painful. Eventually, the skin becomes scaly. If blood circulation has been severely affected, the tips or edges of the skin may actually die and slough off. First aid in early stages of frostbite involve warming the area gently with warm water. Do not massage the area, as this may cause release of dead tissue toxins into the blood stream or further damage already impaired tissue. Apply a protective vaseline-based ointment and cover the area, if possible. Severe cases of frostbite may necessitate amputation of affected tissue. Seek veterinary attention as soon as possible.

Some common warning signs are uncontrollable shivering, disorientation, incoherent or slurred speech and cold pale skin. If the condition goes untreated, drowsiness, extreme confusion and slowed breathing will occur. When the body’s core temperature drops below 95 degrees, shivering may stop, but he or she is suffering from hypothermia and may lose consciousness or even die. Seek medical care immediately! Cold-related problems can be even worse when the wind blows. As wind speed increases, heat is carried away from the body at an accelerated rate, driving down the body temperature. Wind chill is the term used to describe and quantify the rate of heat loss from exposed skin. It combines the effects of wind and cold temperatures.

91. Hypothermia Cibola Search and Rescue hypothermia. by Mike Dugger. This information has What to Look for in the Stages of hypothermia. In mild hypothermia http://www.swcp.com/csar/hypothermia.shtml

Hypothermia by Mike Dugger This information has been compiled from several sources, and the summary below represents a non-professional's interpretation of what he has learned. In particular, I made use of a document compiled and presented by Reed Burnett, one of our former members who is a physician's assistant, during a winter bivy on Mount Taylor. The Search and Rescue Society of British Columbia has one of the best compilations on the subject I have ever seen at http://www.sarbc.org/hypo.html. Hey, I'm no doctor. As always, the reader should consult a professional for an expert opinion. Introduction We require a body core temperature of 96 to 101 degrees F to sustain life. Maintaining body temperature in this narrow range is a balance between heat production and heat loss. Our ability to survive in cold temperatures is due to behavior, not biology. We've used everything from animal skins to wool to fancy, high-tech waterproof and breathable fabrics to keep warm. The body's thermostat is sensitive to less than 1 degree F change in core temperature, and the body responds to this cooling in a variety of ways, depending upon the temperature and rate of cooling. Hypothermia is defined as a body core temperature less than 95 degrees F. Hypothermia can most definitely be fatal if untreated. Heat Production We generate heat by burning fuel. For our bodies, this means metabolizing food. In order to generate this heat by metabolism, we need food for fuel, air for oxygen, and water for the chemical processes of digestion. Here are some interesting numbers on the effect of activity the body's rate of energy consumption. Just sitting around, we burn an average of 100 calories per hour. While shivering, we may burn 500 cal/hour, and hiking uphill with a 40 pound pack burns about 1000 cal/hour! All these calories can come from metabolizing food, or burning stored energy in the form of fat.

That's because the body has a remarkable ability to shut itself down when subjected to extreme cold. Under the right circumstances, with the right care, virtually full recovery is possible.

However, it's important to remember that winter also brings cold temperatures, high winds and the threat of hypothermia. Everyone who spends time outside should be educated about hypothermia. Knowing how to prevent and treat hypothermia could save your life or the life of another person. Anyone can develop hypothermia but certain categories of people are more susceptible to heat loss, including infants, children and the elderly. The key conditions that lead to hypothermia include (but are not limited to): · Lack of knowledge · Cold temperatures · Wetness · Improper clothing and equipment · Fatigue · Dehydration · Inadequate food intake Signs of hypothermia When hypothermia sets in, the victim cannot generate heat without an external heat source. When the core body temperature reaches 85 degrees F., the hypothalmus (the area of the brain that regulates body temperature) cannot recover. Even when the body temperature drops to 94 degrees, the body will struggle to recover. The basic chemistry of body heat is fairly simple. The body generates heat through cellular metabolism. Chemical activities take place within each cell of the body, generating heat. A reduction in core temperature of 10 degrees cuts the number of cellular chemical reactions nearly in half. Therefore, half of the chemical reactions will render half of the heat production, making recovery increasingly difficult.
