SJ,

You are seriously beginning to look like a complete moron.

What Poot is saying (and it doesn't take a genius to figure it out, despite the fact that you don't get it) is that if the risk of dying from carrying cold outweighs the risk of dying from carrying hot, it probably makes sense to carry hot.

Likewise, while I think it a foolish endeavor to carry hot while hunting, I would never suggest that our buys in Iraq and Afghanistan not carry hot, since there is a real possibility that a split second delay could cost them their lives.
