Is freezing a bad way to go?
I can't help but think of it! The stories and even one of our own, Lord of Pain posting and then portraying signs of hypothermia and going dark. I am disturbed!!! I've heard there's over 30 deaths so far.

I just escaped this and I'm so thankful.
We were out 6 days in 2015 I think it was. It was fun because I was prepped. But this is far more intense. Much more deadly.

What happens when you freeze to death? I read a post, someone said it was peaceful. confuse

God bless everyone in this situation. I'm not a hater. I'm praying for you!!

Bless all y'all that are praying and putting out the positive vibes. It's true goodness. heart

You aren't going to freeze to death in 20 degree weather unless you are old or a child or just plain stupid.

Re: Is freezing a bad way to go?
you basically go numb and fall asleep...is what i've heard.


if i knew i would freeze to death and had zero chance to survive?

i would just start the car and pipe the exhaust into the cab and go to sleep.


it's pretty hard to freeze to death if you have stuff you can burn.

Keep yourself and others awake and moving. Someone keep watch and make sure people are still able to wake up and move, because you fall asleep first in hypothermia. You lose consciousness then freeze.

Keep your head and feet warm. Snuggle together like penguins to share body heat.

I would think, exhaust induced Carbon Monoxide poisoning would be nauseating, for a while.
But I don't want to discuss how to suicide. I'm just curious if someone has some knowledge on this subject. hf

It's probably one of the less painful ways to go, heard you start feeling warm and sleepy once your body begins to shut down.

Hmmm... Well, it could be far worse, that's what I've heard too. I guess I hope it's true. No one wants anyone to die badly, painfully.

Wrong , it's horfibly painful unless it's severe temps. Dying in your house while it's 35 degrees inside over several days would be horribly painful. Elderly with little help are the ones to watch.

Re: Is freezing a bad way to go?
When I was researching the least painful ways to commit suicide I found that drowning and breathing pure nitrogen was the best way to go.

I did not read that freezing to death would be pleasant. I assume when you are exhausted already it would be easier but I would not like to experience that as having my hands and face freezing cold hurt like hell.

Re: Is freezing a bad way to go?
I've never frozen to death, but serving in the Norwegian military I have experienced extreme cold and I can tell you it is the worst. Nights spent on post, laying down in the cold, without the ability to move or make noise was the most pain I have ever felt. It is difficult to describe the feeling of being extremely cold and not having any options to warm up.

When I left the military I made only one promise to myself; I'm never going to be cold again.

If you get cold and have the ability to move your body and wear dry thick clothing, there is no need to freeze. Protect your toes, fingers, nose and ears and walk around to heat up. Dress in layers so you can regulate temperature. When you move around and get warm, you don't want to get wet from sweating. Wind and wetness are your enemies.

I dont think Hell is a warm fiery place, it is COLD for sure.

The actual being cold and still alive is horrible! Have you ever considered moving back and forth between the northern and Southern Hemispheres to live an endless summer?
