How long does it take frostbite to settle in in those conditions?!?!
Awesome shots, as usual. You always manage to up the bar every time you post.

Less than 45 min on exposed skin, according to that chart. When I FEed in Deadhorse I wore a headsock, thick knit hat with wind block, and ski mask when I was outside. Of course I over dress in comparision to a lot of the natives, I guess you can take the Californian out of California, but you can't take the California out of the Californian
