Think winter. Think worst-case scenario freezing sub-zero weather. Not a pleasant thought but freakin’ frozen ice balls do happen.
If you are ever caught in extremely freezing conditions, what should you do to avoid hypothermia? For those who do not know what hypothermia means: Hypothermia is when your body temperature suddenly drops because of overexposure to the cold.
Hypothermia is a deadly condition. As a matter of fact, more Americans are killed during the cold winter weather. It is estimated that hypothermia kills almost 1,000 people a year in the U.S.
It’s a scary situation we all should avoid. Good thing, this informative video by survival expert, Bear Grylls, shows us how to avoid hypothermia in case we’re stranded or trapped in freezing conditions.
In the video, Mr. Grylls offers a lot of practical tips on how anyone can stay warm. He shows us what parts of our body should be covered at all times.
Watch the video and learn how to keep yourself warm by using ordinary materials that you may find around you.
Make sure to make mental notes as these tips may come very handy when you least expect it.

I am definitely NOT going to touch any kind of metal when I’m out in the cold.
