Why does COLD Air Feel WARMER sometimes? - UK 🇬🇧 Nomads

[@Poohbear2025]

It's nice to see a couple just happy in each others company and not living life to just consume and buy more useless stuff to feel happy. Good luck to you both.

[@loghoppers]

@Poohbear2025 Thank you, there is a lot of fake happy in the world sadly. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@nathanteach7266]

Good video. Stay cosy.

[@BogtrotterBertie]

I’m glad you enjoy the outdoor life and don’t bash people that prefer indoor living. It’s lovely to watch your channel, thank you for sharing

[@nature_photography_yukon]

Loving your channel. I love the smell of gorse flowers, they have a sweet scent, reminds me of biscuits, especially in the sunshine. I'll have to try eating the flowers :)

[@grahamparks6088]

I do like the way you two explain the science in how you can feel warmer on a colder day etc, love you guys, stay happy.

[@simondavey7787]

A lot of the feeling of cold is down to perception but the dew point (moisture level) does play a part. I spent some time in Antarctica where the daytime high was minus 25 centigrade and it often didn't feel as cold as minus 5 (as it is here today) in the UK. Generally, if there is more moisture, you will feel the cold more. Also, as the temperature drops below 0 centigrade, the air is less able to hold its moisture. Below minus 20 and the dew point is almost always below 10%. I had a walk by the river this evening and the air was very moist with fog forming above the water. It was chilly but lovely. Thanks as always for your awesome content.

[@ceejay144]

I completely respect your approach to life and decision to live like you do. I increasingly find myself dreaming of doing it myself....I just wish I had the balls.

[@thevikingcraftsman]

My understanding is freezing air is an exothermic process, meaning it releases heat hence warmer than 5°+

[@keithmoss7460]

Damp air will usually feel colder than dry air. Take a tent that has significant condensation inside at around 2 deg c ... it will always feel colder than when it drops to - 2 deg c and the condensation has frozen over and the inside air becomes a little dryer. A lot of people who live the typical suburban /disconnected from a natural lifestyle with all their winter heating etc don't grasp how great winter camping and travel can be in sub zero temps, when there's little wind chill of course.

[@jaysparrowhawk9388]

Apparently one of the symptoms of hypothermia is that you feel warm. Personally I think it feels warmer because the humidity in the air freezes and the air is dry. Happy hopping.

[@loghoppers]

Not hyperthermic. Been at this over 10yrs. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

Awesome to see you three thriving in this weather & thankyou for the info on gorse flowers. Im going to try them on my next walk. Im going to Iceland for a week in February and its going to be cold but i was raised in a cold, damp house and i dont mind the cold at all but ive never been as cold as im going to be in February.

You definitely acclimate to the weather gradually as you are out there. I used to hate having to leave a overnight place and have to go back out in the cold and snow. It almost wasn't worth the stay indoors. It is snowing here today in Asheville NC USA. So pretty those flowers you spotted. Take care..

I love wild camping but have realised to have a fold out chair and sit by a open fire on a night is fabulous and sitting round the fire feels comforting and right must be a genetics thing from antiquity, I'm going to he homless next mth and have a dutch hooped bivy and tarp set up and will be having small open fire 🔥

[@myweeskoolie7504]

3° here overnight, 3 days ago, then 11°, 27°. The dog's willing to shed his blankie to keep Mummy warm ♡ Sunshine coming in the windows this morning. Happy day!

[@PlNKUHOSHI]

I live in an old Victorian house and I often get 7-9c indoors when I go to bed. I use an electric under blanket to stay warm, but If I move my head 1inch its 9c freezing cold. After several years I am getting used to it, also wearing many layers indoors helps.

[@mistygroves3503]

One night, I think it was the night before last, I woke up too for a moment feeling too warm. But when I got up in the morning there had been a hard frost all night. I couldn't work that out. Using exact same bedding and clothing in bed, I was fine the night before that and last night.

[@iamthetinkerman]

Moisture actually makes you feel warmer, it acts as an instulator. You mentioned there was no condensation, this would be due to less moisture hence you feeling colder!

[@martinhope6542]

It is the moisture, when it freezes properly there is no damp as all the moisture is frozen

[@loghoppers]

Sounds plausible. Cheers. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@martinhope6542]

​@@loghopperspersonally especially the older I get, I can handle the cold but not the damp, it's unfortunate that we live on an island so have high humidity.

[@hermanhawtrey8578]

Agreed - I always noticed as a child that it felt coldest as the snow began to melt. I concluded that it had to be something to do with water in the air.

[@kyarichards2894]

Not comparing my wimpy behaviour to your adventures......but. We sleep with the windows open winter and summer, and it is odd... during the lowest temperatures this week, it was warm and close at times in the room. I always sleep with a leg hanging out.

[@garryalcock6118]

I made my first hobo stove today following your instructions, I used a Guinness can it looks great, not as easy as it looks 😂

[@chrissyayles7175]

Makes sense that dampness will make us cold.. Evidently hypothermia is more likely to occur a few degrees above freezing, so still cold but more moisture in the air.. I have a dehumidifier in my flat and keep the humidity close to 50% and crack windows open to manage moisture build up.. Damp grey old England eh ~ love these cold bright days we've had recently..!

[@TimmiTification]

In England, the dehumidifier is a totally under rated appliance.

[@loghoppers]

[@lyndagatlor5736]

body temp at night depends on your caloric intake during the day especially late evening...a sugary snack may wake you up during the night

great video. keep warm

[@nathanberry4339]

I'm frozen in on the canal at the moment and theirs thick ice surrounding the boat but I still managed to heat my boat last night to 28 degrees all night which is why I laugh when people think it's cold on a boat but I also think the cold forces the body to work harder to keep you warm

[@loghoppers]

Indeed Cully. Hope you're well and warm. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@nathanberry4339]

@loghoppers always well and warm thank you and I was watching a vlog about a man building a cabin the air temperature while he was working was -27 with a windchill factor of -47 which really puts it into perspective with our cold temperatures

[@StevieZero]

Dog is beautiful

[@BillSikes.]

The reason you had no condensation in the tent and there is very little frost is because of the air mass that is over the UK at the moment, it's called Polar Continental Air, its cold and dry all the way from Siberia, the other kinds of Air Mass is Polar Maritime, this moves over water picks up condensation and brings Snow, Tropical Maritime, this is mild with lots of rain and is our prevailing weather, and Tropical continental, warm and dry all the way from the African land mass... All the best 🎉

[@loghoppers]

And that air mass changes every minute?.or daily? Interested as we live this way and see many different winters and they all act the same, but condensation will be there one day and the next not, and then... the day after that, it's back again lol. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@BillSikes.]

@loghoppers Its all to do with the weather systems that move over the UK, they can last a day or they can last a few weeks, we got Easterlies right now, cold & dry with no cloud, it'll take a warm front to push it away, when this happens it'll bring Westerly wind from the Atlantic, mild air full of moisture, cloud and rain,

[@thelifeofjools8384]

Yeah.... it's humidity in the air.....thats why so many armed forces train in Scotland.....it feels colder because of the humid/damp air. I think a good nights sleep, and hot healthy food play a big part too. I feel freezing when I'm tired and hungry.....All the best. Edit to add.... I experienced minus 12C in Dorset once....it was fine ...very dry air....but recently last couple of days ....water on the ground...+2°C ....bloody cold feeling !

Yes, in a survival situation.. it can be very dangerous. But as we've lived this life for over 10yrs and very acclimated to it and warm. We just can't figure out why it's cold condensation on the +0⁰C and warmer on the -0⁰C.... that's what's odd. Cheers, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@ianthomas1060]

I think moisture and air pressure affect our core temps along with the foods we eat that day. I also know from experience we can acclimatise to cold quicker than heat. Food certainly keeps us warmer. However, there are massive differences between people. My partner says I'm in season in the winter as I'm a warm person and great for cuddles, but in summer I'm out of season.....(silly cow)😄. My superhero talent is warm hands, no gloves ever and I'm the nemesis of every snowman. Nice vid guys.

Yes, temperature is a weird thing. I can be colder at 6 degrees, than minus something. Wind chill and moisture are definitely a factor. Temps can change up and down when we're asleep, so that might be s factor on those days when we expect frost, but it's absent. Weather is a bit odd at the moment...if you know, you know 👀😉

[@lisakenn2081]

Hi 👋 Love your videos and your way of life. Can I ask, when you both started living outdoors on your own did you find the cold more of a problem? Have you been really cold and had to adapt your sleeping equipment when on your tod? Basically, does it make a massive difference having a partner and dog that is a main key to staying warm sleeping outdoors? Happy hopping (although I’m not sure what that means) haha. Hopping over logs perhaps? Keep safe and thanks for your content 👍👍👍❤️

[@johnarrowsmith9811]

Better yet, why does the eyeball, seemingly never feel cold, but get something in there under the eyelid, and the irritation makes itself known, in being sensed. A defense mechanism for the eye?, but why not that for the cold, for at least the exposed surface, in that, for all I can tell, it doesn't seem to be a threat to it, in the way something else would.

[@claudeclawsonne4510]

The colder it is, the less moisture the air is capable of holding onto. We definitely do get acclimated to whatever temperature we lie in. We keep our house a lot colder than most of our friends' homes and we feel like we're being tortured with the heat when we go visiting them in winter. I looked through the transcript but didn't see the name of what you were both munching on and debating whether it tasted of cucumber or carrot. I didn't recognise it. I take it it's something exclusive to England?

[@longshotkdb]

Body weight does play a part but also genetically some people bare the cold better, being acclimatised is a huge part of it , but the specific difference in temp. You're / we're experiencing is mostly due to Sun activity. Solar flares, clear Skies Because in winter we're in the tale of our galaxy, hence the clear Skies and super bright planets and other things in the night sky.. So in short, following sun weather news is probably as important as any ... lol i took that question quite literally. huh 😂

[@ianhunkin5384]

[@Nerd3927]

Temperature is very easy to measure, but has very little to do with comfort. Your body makes 100 watt hour of heat. If you loose more the 100 Watt hour your feel cold, if you can not loose the 100 watt hours you are hot. Radial heat from the sun, of from the ground has a massif influence. It is all very complicated, and difficult to express in a single number. Damp air can contain more energy then dry air. I live on my boat and have most issues getting the boat warm in damp cold air of 2 degrees, than when the air is insantly dry at minus 2. The best heating is radiant heat, heating with hot air is quite stupid and we all do it.... because the thermometer moves nice fast.... but no one is really comfortable. I have said all my life that the Thermostat is the worst invention of mankind :-)
