  • The Cold Weather Tax: How the cold taxes you, how to prevent it and save your life (W/ John Barklow)
    Sep 15 2025

    Your body shivering is an automatic response for survival as it contracts your muscle to generate heat when thrown into a particularly cold environment.

    The energy demand is high.

    The currency of that cost is calories.

    I wanted to know just WHAT happens, WHY, and if we’re able to fix it in the field.

    Who better to discuss the topic than Mr. John Barklow himself?
