Cold Stress Acclimation Walk
A cold stress acclimation walk uses brief layered outdoor easy movement to build winter comfort without maximal cold immersion or hypothermia risk.
A cold stress acclimation walk is a short, layered outdoor walk in winter air—building comfort and circulation without maximal cold plunges. Five to twenty minutes at easy pace after proper clothing teaches shiver control and nasal breathing.
Not a substitute for hypothermia training for guides; dose stays submaximal.
