I would like some info about hypothermia. I've been reading trail journals lately. A couple that I read got themselves dangerously close to hypothermia. They did not get hurt but got too close to it. Not to mention the recent 3 hikers in the Smokies. So what are some of the issues.
Wet and sweaty
Wet stream accident
hydration
food intake
clothing issues
tent , sleeping bag
anything else ?

Seems like there's not a simple answer.
It's -8* here in St. Louis, It's real scary thinking about getting stuck outside and not being able to fix it. I'm not ready to die yet.
