[QUOTE="C-130 Dude, post: 3085031, member: 122991"] Good points all. Hypothermia can strike the best conditioned and prepared folks. Keeping dry and controlling your body temperature and dampness is crucial. Keep your blood sugar in bounds, stay hydrated, and be mindful of conditions. But most don't carry the items you mention on hunts. Unless it's a planned overnighter.....If you get caught out unawares, you are in for a rough time/night. One item that may help is to carry a handful of good protein bars. Not very bulky or heavy and they provide lots of energy. Keeping hydrated is sometimes difficult. Most don't like packing the weight of water. I've succumbed to dehydration while hunting in sub artic. That dry cold climate can be deceiving. It's takes more fuel to melt ice or snow for water that you can comfortably carry. As always, get yourself prepared. Physically and mentally. Have a plan for survival at all times. Make sure someone knows exactly where you are going. Don't be a statistic. [/QUOTE]
