I wasn’t being critical but was thinking of my youngest brother who would have said the very same thing you said about 10 years ago. He’s 56 and the cold now gets to him.
They live at 8300 feet in the Wet Mountains of Colo. and are looking for a place in Arizona to spend the winters when he retires.
Tell your brother that I am well past 65. I deliberately retired to to this place BECAUSE it gets colder than a well diggers ass up here in the winter.
KEEPS THE RIFF-RAFF out.
Tell him to split wood in a good pair of boots, but buck nekked in the winter; it helps to keep you warm but not sweaty.
Yeah; I’m laughing, but I have done that crazy crap, keeps me young (at least in mind and spirit).
