Here is a Typical Formy Tall Tale from that one...
Lets see... Below freezing, snowing, wind blowing over 20MPH (which would put the temps at around 15-17 degrees at best with wind chill),
He somehow forgot his sleeping bag and all he has is his puffy suit (insulated jacket and pants) and a bivy sack. He sleeps in that and it is so amazingly warm in the high altitudes of the Colorado Rockies that according to him :
"I was quite warm, but of course when I woke up a few hours later, the outside of my clothes were completely drenched in sweat with about a 1/4 inch of water/sweat was in the bottom of the bivy."
Now I have slept in 120+ degree weather in the middle east (Iraq) and I have never managed to wake up drenched in 1/4" of my own sweat.. Let alone in sub zero temps without a sleeping bag.
Just one of many awesome tales...
Not to mention that he started his tale by being up for 45 of 48 hours before performing super human feats...
