So you're stuck on a mountain with an unconscious friend. You've applied first aid, but help is still a couple of hours away. The terrain is rocky, no plants to speak of. The air is chilly, maybe 50 Fahrenheit. You and your friend are dressed reasonably for the weather, with pants, shirts, and light jackets. You have no other relevant gear, though, as you weren't planning your hike to be long.
How do you keep your friend warm while waiting for help to arrive?
How do you keep your friend warm while waiting for help to arrive?
- Lay on top of him, to keep him from getting a chill in the wind.
- Lay underneath him, to keep the earth from sucking out his body heat.
- Lay next to him, to keep him somewhat warm, but that's all that's really necessary.
- Stand around and try not to get bored. He's not going to get _that_ chilly while you wait.
