Download or read book Winter Fun Damentals How to Stay Warm written by Douglas Hansen and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is my desire these principles, ideas and techniques make dealing with the cold climate tolerable, maybe even enjoyable; and your outdoor adventures even better. Over the past years I have learned that with the correct attitude, most any pursuit can be and adventure.Winter time is no different With a good understanding of the principles associated with how the body reacts to cold, the cold climates, and equipment, winter time can really become a "Winter Play Ground." With these winter events are possible and "fun" for us to enjoy. One concept I strive to teach in my books is that "principles" are a tool to control things around us. With principles we can build a predictable outcome. "Ways, Means, Methods, and Techniques change, Principles never do." The wintertime can be a time to bask in the warm winter sun (be careful though, snow reflects a high percentage of the sun's burning UV rays and it is easy to get sun burned or snow blind (sun burned eyes).More than just equipment (I include low cost equipment ideas for getting started, too!) winter requires an attitude adjustment. Most of us are used to spring, summer, and fall conditions where planning is not as important. In the winter, to make it Fun, we must adjust our attitudes, "Things take longer." It takes time to dress correctly, add and subtract layers so we don't sweat and get wet . . . or don't go without enough layers and end up losing too much heat, and become hypothermic. Did you know the head accounts for between 50% and 75% of the body's heat loss? That means, "If your feet are cold, put on a hat." Better yet, "Stay warm." It is much easier to "Stay Warm" than it is to get warm. If winter is not already a flavorful spice in your life, I hope the information and knowledge in this book, about the winter season, changes winter into a fun time of year. I have led four expeditions to the "Coldest Mountain on Earth." This experience has taught me way to stay warm, and actually enjoy the winter time. I am looking forward to sharing this skills and ideas with you, as I embark upon my third career - writing. I have done freelance writing for many years, but I have never tried to make a living doing it. Well, for a number of reasons, I am embarking on this new adventure. While working as a National Park Ranger, I started teaching Mountaineering on the side. This evolved into a business called Hansen Mountaineering I, along with my family, served the people of Utah for about 20 years. At that time life changed some for me, and I stepped into the High Angle Safety, Work and Rescue Industry. Well, it seems to be a good time for another career shift, into writing. Of course, Mountaineering and Technical High Angle Work and Rescue will always be part of my life, but for a number of reasons it make sense for me to pursue writing. I am working on polishing those skills and my work is available on Amazon.com Please do enjoy it, and if you have questions or comments you can contact me at www.HansenSpecialities.com [email protected] or [email protected] Thanks for your interest.Spring, Summer, and Fall all have their own unique flavor, or spice like quality. Winter also has its own unique flavor or spice like effect on life, when we learn how to work with it.

Download or read book Cold Weather Skills and Equipment Winter Fun Damentals written by Douglas Hansen and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ---Technical Skills for dealing with the cold. This is a great book for anyone who wants to learn how to get along in the out of doors. It is principle based, meaning it helps you relate to this skills as a master would. Many times people are taught the technique only, and that is simple and providing everything stays the same it will work. Here's a technique for building a fire. A can of gas, and a match... what if you don't have a gasoline, or any other kindling or fuel? Well that happened to us. I was hunting with an Uncle who had put on several extra pair of socks because it was colllld. Pretty soon his feet got cold, but he didn't complain. Well, during a rest stop I noticed he was doing something off to the side. He had taken paper from his pockets and pushed in under some branches and lit it. Well, it started to going and he was warming his boots, but it started to die down, so he quickly looked for more wood, but was not able to keep it going. Again he did not complain, but a short time later he told me his feet were really really cold, and we needed to do something. Well, we pulled his boots off and put them on my stomach, and that helped some, but he was cold , we needed a fire. Only problem was we had no kindling. He had used what paper, and TP he had, I did not have any but we needed to start a fire? We put our heads together and this is what we figured out. We put the bullet of a cartridge in the end of the barrel and levered it back and forth to remove the bullet then we poured it on top of flat rock. We figured if we used several cartridges, or more, we would have a pretty good pile of rifle powder (rifle powder burn much slower than black powder, which would be tooo fast!) so we gathered branches and small limbs and piled them over the pile of powder. Then we made sure we had plenty of extra wood to add to it, once it started. Then we lit the powder. Sure enough it started the branches, and bigger stuff, and we had a good fire. Once he was good and warm we put one pair of socks on his feet and then his boots. The extra socks were too many, they squished the veins and prevented the blood from his warm torso, from going down to his feet. With one pair of thick socks he did much better than the three pair. There's lots to keeping warm... here's some other thoughts. Important skills that are "not" common knowledge. Coats do not warm us up, they prevent heat loss. If your feet are cold put on a scarf and a hat.... The head and neck are responsible for 50% to 75% of the body's heat loss; also they are most important if the body does not have heat to protect the brain, heart, lungs, etc., it surely won't send it down to your feet. Feet can drop to temperatures below 50° F. If the heart temperature drops to even 70° F chances are you have died. I mention many "principles" associated with cold conditions. Principles are the key to building predictable outcomes or results. Techniques change. For example: Transporting heat to your toes requires warm blood pumping through your arteries and veins. If you put on three pair of wool socks, on a cold day to keep your feet warm, but you use your everyday shoes, you will likely squeeze your feet so tight that blood will have a hard time keeping them warm.
