Note: I reside in SouthCentral Alaska, which does not see as deep cold as places such as Interior Alaska which include Fairbanks, North Pole, and Northern Alaska above the Arctic Circle which is above all the coldest part of the state. My advice regarding health and safety in this episode is NOT a substitute for seeking medical care if you need it, never hesitate to call emergency services if you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of hypothermia and/or frostbite. I am not a medical professional, my tips given in this episode are for educational purposes only.
