Jan 25	comment	Walking trailers You could not carry this thing up most mountains. Even most strenuous peaks involve some stretch of grade 3 climbing (rock scrambling) that this would make more difficult. A list of mountains I have hiked while backpacking that this would make much more difficult: Long's Peak in Colorado, Mount Whitney in California, Half Dome in Yosemite, just to name a few.

Jan 25	comment	How can I acclimatize to cold? To increase the acceptable range of comfortable temperatures for your body you have to start slowly increasing the range of temperatures you are exposed to. Slowly decrease your usage of heaters and air conditioners. Slowly decrease the amount of clothing you wear in winter. Be careful, of course. If you make the switch too fast, you will be exposing your self to much risk.
