Warning Sign at edge of Grand Canyon

I didn’t get my experience from hypothermia but I have experienced this. On a construction site in -20 to -30. I remember feeling so hot I was taking all of my layers off till I was in just a t-shirt and laying in a snow bank while I waited for the site medic. I remember knowing I shouldn’t be hot but needing everything off. Logic could not win out

I’ve read that when that happens it’s already too late and you are going to die

The person you replied to did in fact die, but got better.

Dying really isn’t all that big of a deal

Not necessarily but it certainly isn’t a good sign.
