How come the freezing tempratures don't affect some people?

Because they warmed up their muscles first and are full of adrenaline.

I used to do that all the time in my 20’s, short white shorts and a sweatshirt. Must be the hot blood..lol I totally am not into that now at all but now I’m old!

I did that when I was young. I went to a bank school on might when it was -20F in jeans and a tee shirt. The instructor shook her head and laughed. I could never do that now. I’m a big wuss.

To some extent, it is a mind-over-matter skill, but only for short-term exposures. If I’m going to be out in the cold for more than 5 minutes, I’m going to put on my coat. I did have a higher tolerance when I was younger, too. I’d walk 3 blocks to the bus stop with wet hair all through High School, and the school buses never had working heat in the ‘70s and early ‘80s

This is what I do. Now, it isn’t that I am not cold, I am.

It is that it is worth the cold to me to forget the hassle of a coat. I am never outside that long anyway.

I wish I can even imagine doing that! Thanks all.

It all depends on wind. Even these people will suffer serious frost bites, when the protective air cushion gets blown away.
