This document discusses hypothermia and cold weather survival. It describes the body's response to cold exposure, including the cold response, mild hypothermia, and severe hypothermia. The cold response is the body's normal reaction, involving blood vessel constriction and shivering. Mild hypothermia occurs when the body can no longer compensate, with symptoms like confusion and clumsiness. Severe hypothermia is a medical emergency, where core temperature drops below 90°F and victims lose consciousness. Treatment depends on the level of hypothermia, ranging from adding dry clothes and shelter for mild cases to gentle transport and preventing further heat loss for severe hypothermia.
