I was stationed in Idaho and Alaska when I was in the AF. Both would get -50 with wind chill. The Air Force issued us cold weather gear; bunny boots, fat boy pants, parkas, thermal undies, parkas, cold weather gloves, fur lined hats. We would drive four wheelers down the frozen river and across the tundra out spotting for caribou. Fun but cold, really cold. Came back from a ride one day and it felt like my whole body was being attacked by thousands of needles. When I got all my clothes off I noticed my skin was beet red and I made a BIG mistake; I got in the shower.
