I just took a trip to the hot Springs and both of us lost our heat on the way here.
That was nothing compared to what almost happened on the way back to the car from our mountain hike though.
I took off early from the hot Springs because it was getting dark and the path back was quite treacherous. After about ten minutes of walking back, I realized I was going the wrong way so I turned around and went back to meet the group. When I got back though, the group was gone and it was just me by myself. My heating and A/C rep friend had my phone and that was going to be my light to see, so now I was lost with no light and no phone to call. I kept calm, however I knew I would not survive the sub zero night with no heating unit or tent. Luckily, I spotted some lights above me to the left, far above me, and I yelled and whistled and they must have heard me because their lights were flashing at me. I just wanted a sizzling hot fireplace in the lodge with an immense comforter wrapped around me. So, I ran and caught up with the group and we made it back to safety. I thought about that mountain when I got home and realized if I did get lost, and had no type of gas furnace or section heating machine to keep me warm, I would have ended up frozen by the time day rolled around. It was 16 below zero that night from what I heard on the weather forecast the next day.
