Weather for the Coming Event

Well the weather for October in the Mid-Atlantic is as always a fickle beast. It is only just the beginning of Fall but already we are looking at a wet and cold weekend.

If you're new to KR - BRING SPARE, DRY CLOTHES, IN A PLASTIC BAG. Bring extra socks. Bring layers of clothing. Be prepared to change into / out of them on Sat. night, after Main Mod, when you will inevitably get damp from either weather or sweat, before you go to sleep. Furthermore, you are at a greater risk of dehydration in the cold and wet as you do not realize just how much you have sweated out and aren't nearly as hot from the exertion.

If you're traveling with friends, spread the word, and keep an eye on each other for hypothermia!

I see very good cautionary remarks but none for what to do after the person has become Hypothermic

If truely hypothmric beyond the shivering stage do NOT PLACE THEM IN AHOT SHOWER
. Get them into dry clothes wrapped in warm blankets and drink warm soups if coherent or after they recover some what Be very careful when placing people near a fire as they can not feel them selves getting burned
Instead use warming water bottles under the arms and the groin area
Please warm them slowly
