I've always lived in warm climates. anything below 70F starts to feel cold for me.
But lately, with the way the world is changing, I'm yearning to go to places and spaces where there are fewer people, and usually that means colder places.
I see videos of Foresty Forest, who lives in a van....in Canada and he even seems to have to fight to stay warm at times. Always bundled up.
So, does the body adjust to the cold after a while or is it always a deal breaker? I cannot even begin to imagine those people living in the artic circle or near Siberia in Russia. How they do it is amazing to me. Heck, some people hate the heat and prefer freezing cold temps.
It's one of the reasons I will have not one, but two 5000 btu diesel heaters installed in my go van. Sure, I'll also have a zero degree sleeping bag stowed and warm clothes, but I want to lay in bed at night in my van, 10F outside in my skivvies and be totally comfortable on top of the sheets. I can afford $1.oo a night for that luxury ;-)
But I'm wondering if you eventually get used to the cold? Acclimated?
