I guess the old saying applies here. "Different Strokes for Different
Folks!" And that is OK!

Ralph, from your videos you  dress about like folks do here when they have
to work out in the cold on our few really cold days but some of these
retired folks bundle up like you do to go to the grocery store when it's 45
F outside.  I guess it's just the way they have always done it where ever
they came from.

Charlie, surprisingly I have a low tolerance for cold. I can be cold sitting
in the house at 70 degrees with three layers on if I am not active. I am
actually warmer outside when I am working enough to get the blood
circulating. But yes, layers are what I use. 3 layers for just sitting
around the house, might get down to two if I am working.
Outdoors I will add two more. Insulated coveralls and a parka on top of
that. Minimum two layers on the legs, more often three if I want to be
comfortable. I have no fat for insulation and my arms never see the sun even
in the hottest days of summer. And the last thing I would ever need is air
conditioning for the house. A furnace, well that is a necessity of life.
Kind of like a block heater on an engine. Hey, it has warmed up here. Got up
near 0 farenheit today with no wind and if felt positively warm in the
sunshine.

Ralph in Sask.
