15. How to survive on the North Pole?

Before even venturing out into the cold you need to plan your outing and then execute that plan. Dressing up the right way is crucial. Layer, layer, layer. Only use natural or synthetic materials that breath. The reason for this is that you will perspire an having a cold wet layer next to your body can easily lead to frostbite. Wool and fleece are great for creating that thick air pocket layer in between. The outer layer needs to be water and wind resistant and still breath. Thick soled shoes will insulate from the ground. Felt booties are the best inside a boot, but if you have a modern hiking boot then, make sure you have room for a woolen sock and still room for blood to flow. If you are hit with a snow storm you need to stop, so that you do not get lost and make it virtually impossible for a rescue to be mounted. Tie a colored cloth outside to mark your location. It is strongly recommend trying to stay awake. If you fall a sleep you will not wake if hyperthermia kicks in and you will sleep longer than anticipated. If you feel a prickly pain in your extremities you can try moving a bit to increase circulation. If your extremities go numb, then you are in big trouble and should try to massage blood flow into them immediately until sensation returns.

As in any crisis situation try to stay calm and don't panic. Common sense is your best friend and if you panic all common sense tends be lost.
