Cold hardening

GlisGlis:
I do it. I also stay barefoot while at home all winter long
since i started, many many years ago, i avoided almost completely coughs, colds and flu

Russ:
once when i was on a hunt with my friend in a deerstand, i was shivering like crazy! like CRAAAZZZYY! but then i realized.... why am i shivering, and told myself to stop. i was much warmer from then on and i was way more comforable. i just needed to make myself be ok with the cold and embrace it instead of fighting it. if i did this, my body would take care of me. sometimes your mind tries to do what only your body can.

Gimlis Ghost:
Many years ago I read a study of Apalachian mountain folk of the early 20th century. The observer noted that the women folk would go barefoot during their early morning chores in the coldest weather then put shoes on after breakfast. They told him this made their feet feel warm as toast for the rest of the day.
