- mettamage 5y agoYep, that's what I meant.
- adamsmith143 5y agoSo why the point about frostbite? Surely you aren't implying that this technique will protect you from that?
- stouset 5y agoFrostbite at the extremities is significantly a consequence of vascular constriction which prevents warm blood from flowing in and replacing heat lost to the elements. Anything that reduces that vasoconstriction (or actively dilates your blood vessels) will significantly delay the onset of frostbite. On net your body will lose heat faster as a result, but that can be offset by engaging other systems in your body responsible for generating heat.
