Has anybody ever been in a scary winter wilderness situation? My hub & I went on a January canoe trip years ago, and we got into a fix. We pulled the canoe up onto the bank, but it slid down, back into the water, and across the river. Luckily, the current was slow & there was a shallow crossing, so my hub hiked up his jeans & went out to get it (I offered, but he insisted - ah, the chivalry of new love!).
Anyway, he managed to get into the canoe & paddle it back over to me, but when he tried to get out again, he tripped & fell into the icy water. He was SOAKED. Fortunately, we had lots of dry clothes, so he stripped down & changed before hypothermia set in. We had a terrible time trying to start a fire with cold, moist wood, though....I'm shivering just remembering!

Here's a website I found with winter survival tips: http://www.wilderness-survival.net/chp15.php
We could all use a refresher now & then, right?
