When I'm not programming, I like to work in my garden growing vegetables. (If my site loads slowly, its because my hosting sucks. I'm working on fixing that soon.)

comment How can I acclimatize to cold?
@Olin: I've withdrawn my previous responses. Your comment was actually rather scientific +1. However, I'm not convinced that what you're describing isn't predominantly psychological. In my analysis, you simply got used to the cold mentally. You got used to ignoring the disconfort. Many times I thought of withdrawing my answer, but I didn't, because doing so would deny something that I know is true. What I'm suggesting here isn't easy to learn or implement. I often scratch the itch or have difficulty ignoring the hiccups, but my inabilitly doesn't make it any less true.

comment Primitive fire starting in northeastern Brazil
Sure. A lighter, match or magnifying glass is easy, but I have no idea where I can find flint in Brazil. But that's not the point. Survival situations are often those where you are completely unprepared. You have no resources. Learning about survival is about learning to make do with whatever you have around you, and in many circumstances, you might not have a lighter or flint or whatever makes fire starting easy for you.
