With only 6 days gone in the New Year:
The Daily Mail has worked at length with Survival School to bring people the best advice about how to cope with the Arctic Blast of cold weather.
Survival School was also featured in the Daily Telegraph's list of Top 50 Experiences. Thank you to those who helped with that.
Radio City 96.7 interviewed Jonny about the cold weather conditions on its Breakfast Show with Phil and Kim. Here are the top tips that Jonny gave them:
1. Don’t touch metal objects without wearing gloves. 2. Do not spill/work near any fuel without gloves (instant frostbite). 3. When working hard, take layers off to prevent sweating as it’ll freeze later 4. If you are sweating you are dehydrating as well. 5. Also your clothing will loose its insulation properties and actually cool you down quicker. 6. Make sure you eat and drink enough. 7. Last thing at night go to the toilet and eat a hot meal before you go to sleep as the calories being burnt will keep you warm whilst you are not moving. 8. Wear lots of layers rather than one thick layer. 9. When cutting, remember that the hands go numb very quickly, making accidents more likely. 10. A cut takes longer to heal due to the fact that the blood does not clot as quickly. 11. A huge percentage of heat is lost through the head – wear a hat. 12. Also excessive heat loss makes the brain work/think slower . 13. Treat frostnip as a forecast for frostbite. 14. Do not eat snow to re-hydrate as it will cool you down faster and can damage blood cells in your mouth. 15. Melt ice instead of snow it has a greater yield of water. 16. Wear sunglasses even in low sunlight as the symptoms for snowblindness take at least 8 hours to develop.
