[pct-l] Reynauds afflictions

[Stephen Adams]

Just as a side note, as I am one who has trouble with my feet, and though this is more of a winter camping thing for me, if I get to the point I can't get my feet warm, perhaps after hiking in cold rain, I'll make a hot water bottle for my sleeping bag and get in with that at my feet.  In the summer that is a rare thing, and while I prefer to do this only with a Lexan bottle, it works with some of the softer plastic ones, and just don't fill it, and let it breathe some, check it a few times.

I'll layer up with mittens, hat, and 4 or 5 clothing layers on the torso before leaving the tent to start the day. When I start boiling over, I layer down and, thereby, control my heat and sweating, both. Just because my fingers start turning white and go numb, doesn't keep me from enjoying the winter wonderland in the high sierra!
