Staying Safe this Winter, Part 2. Signs of Hypothermia

We started a blog segment about a week ago on what you need to know to stay safe this winter.  So many variables come in to play when we are out in the wilderness.  The one way we can make sure we are prepared is to arm ourselves with knowledge.  Last week we touched on what to do if you get lost in the woods.  If you didn’t get a chance to read it you can click here for all the useful information.
