Preparing myself for death due to hypothermia

[Ingz]

That's generally a cue to wear very little at all ...

Well, that's not always a possibility. I have been in outside in a -15°C (5°F) and getting wet, and let me tell you, you will not survive if you're wearing as little clothes as possible, wet, in that kind of a cold weather.

Last year I was on a mountain walk, for 6 hours, in a -35°c (-31°F). I was wearing a glacier snow-suit, and warm clothes underneath. I injured my foot and couldn't walk, so I had to wait sitting down for two hours while a search and rescue SUV came and get me. When they finally came I was so hypothermic that I had stopped feeling cold. I was really tired and couldn't understand why everybody were in my business when I just wanted to take a nap. I had frost-burns on my face for a week, and on my fingers and toes for a day or two.
