The Cold Weather Tax: How the cold taxes you, how to prevent it and save your life (W/ John Barklow)

Your body shivering is an automatic response for survival as it contracts your muscle to generate heat when thrown into a particularly cold environment.  

 

The energy demand is high.

The currency of that cost is calories. 

 

I wanted to know just WHAT happens, WHY, and if we’re able to fix it in the field.  

 

Who better to discuss the topic than Mr. John Barklow himself?
