I grew up in the north, and never adapted after moving to the south. I would bicycle every day and still look like someone poured a bucket of water on me just being outside for 20 minutes walking. It has taught me to value the feeling of being a little too cold.

This winter I was in the north again, and was reasonably comfortable in -20C, but not nearly as comfortable as the indigenous people who can walk around without gloves and still use a phone without any issue.

You adapt to some extent, but I think everyone is built different at a metabolic level, something to do with the way blood circulates in your capillaries or something.

Fairbanks, Alaska?

Also archaeologival evidence confirmed that humans did 'some' hibernation during the winter months....

It was too dangerous and uncomfortable to just go out and about during the winter cause you could freeze to death, slip on ice and get injured, since visibility is decreased you are more vulnerable to other humans wjo wanted to steal from you or do you in AND animals too, you could starve to death since there was fewer plants to pick from and fewer animals to hunt. People in neolithic eras didnt really hibernate completrly like bears but rsther entered a state of 'tupor' where they did FAAAR less during the winter months until it cleared up in late spring. 'Why put yourself at risk and be uncomfortable too?' is probably what theyre thinking.

We cant do a siimilar thing today? Im not saying nobody goes to work during those months but it I feel we would be happier overall if it is accepted that people go to work and go to outings faaar less during the winter months. Im pretty sure in some superarctic parts of Alaska and Siberia that this is already done. I havent read of it being done there but Id find it hard to believe they dont already....

....uhhh....what type of boots do you own that allow you to go on frequent winter night walks please?
