Why Your Cotton Shirt Makes You COLDER... and How to Stay Warm for $25

📘 THE BOOK: "The Old Scout Way: Walt's Camping & Fishing Manual" (120 camp and fishing tricks) 📗 ALSO: "The Old Scout Way: Walt's Camp Cooking Manual" (60 tricks for cooking with no kitchen) Get one, or both in a bundle: https://waltscampingsecrets.com I spent thirty-five years as a scoutmaster, and the boys I had to walk back to the cars never went down in January. They went down in October, at 45 degrees, in a cotton hoodie. In this video I take the old saying apart and show you the actual physics underneath it, plus the $25 shirt that fixes the whole thing. In this video: The three separate heat leaks that open at once in a wet cotton shirt Why water pulls heat out of you roughly 25 times faster than air does The reason it is almost never the rain that gets people Heat of sorption: the one thing wool does that no synthetic can copy Where "cotton kills" goes too far, and the country where cotton is the smarter choice The mistake with the outer layer that undoes everything else you do right The store makes its money on the $400 shell. The layer that actually decides your night costs about $25 and nobody advertises it. Safety note: hypothermia can start above 40 degrees if you are wet. If somebody is shivering steadily, the wet layer comes off first, before you pile dry things on top of it. What is the coldest you have ever been, and what were you wearing?
