I do have long term frostbite damage, my body suffers from prior injuries. Frostbite damages you forever. That what last froze, will freeze again first, next time you are dealing with winter. BTW it hurts like he!!.
But my mind is just fine.
Thanks for caring.
The fact remains that you are not correct about ALASKA or ALASKANS.
It's not your fault that you have no experience or direct knowledge of ALASKA.
Same here. I thought awareness of the possibility would keep from getting in situations where parts would freeze and eventually turn black and fall off. I had no idea, even though it was 40 below and the wind was 40 knots and the sun hadn't been seen for two months. I wondered why that Athabascan was looking at my face so close and then he said, 'you better get inside, your face is frozen.' Fortunately it was just a few small patches, so all I have is permanent capillary damage and can't go unprotected at all in 40 below anymore.
