What outdoor survivalist and bushman would you take advice from /out/?

Alternatively Les.
>>2791375None that you can find online. 99% of them are larpers, and the 1% are the ones I haven't found yet.Also>You sweat you dieis bullcrap. It's only somewhat valid in weather around the freezing point, where minor changes in temperature (such as moving from the north side of a hill to the south side) result in large changes in humidity, causing you to lose heat quickly. In warm temperatures, sweating is absolutely necessary (surpising, isn't it?) and in really cold weather, it doesn't matter since the sweat won't evaporate and will just make you uncomfortable until you can change clothes.And no matter the temperature, if you're wearing proper clothing (=wool or fur), normal amounts of sweat will evaporate slowly and before soaking the material.

>>2791418Even a synthetic base layer will breathe
>>2791415Nothing you said makes any sense.
>>2791426Well except the part about sweat being necessary in warm weather. My apologies.
>>2791415>in really cold weather, it doesn't matter since the sweat won't evaporate andholy shit this one of the more retarded comments i've rad on this board and thats saying something.
>>2791415how confidently you say this makes your post even funnier.
>>2791375Profuse sweater, here.Still alive.

>>2791375The point is to at least attempt to stay dry in a survival situation. Obviously, in extreme cold, this becomes more important, but even in warm weather, staying dry is a good idea, since dampness can lead to rashes, infections, rotting flesh, etc. Just stay dry.
>>2791450>t. failed physics classGuess I'll fill in for your lack of education:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mollier.pdfEvaporation slows down the colder it gets. At -10 °C, it's already only about 1/5 of the speed at 0°C even in 0% humidity. Add to that that in colder temperatures, it's normally more humid, and you get even slower evaporation. It doesn't go down to zero, but the evaporation and the cooling effect you get from it become neglible around -15 to -20 °C.
>>2791415In really cold weather the sweat will dry off you since cold air is extremely dry.
>>2791415>You sweat you die is bullcrap as long as you mitigate against it
>>2792578>t.never actually been out in cold weatheryup. When its 15°f with 20mph winds and I am all sweaty from cross country skiing- I just take off my jacket and let my body just air dry, hypothermia is your friend.
