Would you rather .......

[Mollysmom]

For some reason I thought of this today and would love to hear which you would choose.
If you HAD to walk 100 miles and had 2 weeks to do it, would you rather walk in 10 degrees below temps or 110 degrees above temps ?? Each night you'd have to put up your tent and cook your food on your little cook stove. You wouldn't have to find food, that'd somehow magically appear each day and you'd have enough water to survive during the day and at night. You'd have the right clothes for either choice.
There may be wind or snow or rain - that would vary, the temperature wouldn't. Not sure if it's warm up or cool down at night - I suppose we can say it would warm up 10 degrees during the cold days and cool down 10 degrees at night during the hot days.
I think I'd choose the heat - I really think I'd give up and just lay down and die in the cold. The cold just seems to emotionally wear me out faster then the heat does.
Hopefully none of us has to do this, but I thought it'd be fun to "talk" about

Well, I can put on more clothes in the cold. In the heat...

[cpatinjones]

I would take the heat.

[Redetotry]

I'd take the cold, I don't perspire so wouldn't do well in 110 degree heat!

[Bethers]

I'd take the heat - hope it was desert and I could find shade to walk in

[Echo]

I would take the cold. You could keep yourself warm by walking but you would fry walking in the 110f temp!!!

Besides you didn't say anything about taking a shower or bath!!!! I wouldn't want to smell myself after a day of walking in 110f!!! Wouldn't want to sleep with myself either!!!

[VickieP]

I'd take the heat too! At just over 7 miles a day you could do some in early morning, try to find shade in the middle of the day and do the rest as the evening cools. A few years ago I loved the cold, I'd never wear a coat, now I can't handle it, but I go out in the middle of the day in 100+ temps and do yard work.

I've always said that for me, heat is uncomfortable, but cold is downright painful! So give me the heat any day! (as long as it's not humid and there are no flies buzzing around my head! )

[WickedLady]

I'll take the heat, a wide brimmed hat, sunglasses and an umbrella.

[Nasoosie]

If I chose to do the 100 miles in the heat, I would have to set up my tent for shade during the hottest part of the day and sleep. Then I would travel at dusk, night, and early day with my headlamp on.

If I had to choose the cold travel, I would walk fast during the sunny day, put on warm clothes and build a nice fire to take me through the evenings, crawl into my heavy-duty sleeping bag until the warm rays of the sun awoke me to begin anew.

I really don't enjoy being either too hot or too cold, as I am sure most of us feel. 10 degrees below zero isn't that hard to take, but 110 above would sap me of all my strength, I think. Adding clothes is more appealing than roasting and not being able to cool down, for me. Two weeks of intense cold would be very doable for me, but two weeks of intense heat might do me in! Just knowing that the time was a definite known interim would make the cold the better choice for me, I guess.

Now that I have thought this through out loud, my choice would be the cold!

[AlmostThere]

Oh, don't care for either extremes, but I gues I'd take the heat and do as Vickie said. Travel at night and hope I don't get lost.

[OutandAbout]

I would take the cold. I would bundle up completely and travel with Soos in the sun. (Something bout being able to see where I'm going.) I'm with Echo, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near me in 110 heat. (NASTY) Linda

[avalen]

ok, I'm a sissy either way, I'd just stay put until more favorable weather since the food
and water will magically appear everyday, otherwise I'd just sit there and die. I'm such
a woos.

[snowball]

had to ponder this and am thinking Cold but not totally sure you all had good points for both
sheila

[sunshinecruiserTN]

Good one Trudy. Let's see, I think I'll take the cold. After trying to dig diamonds in the heat, I couldn't do the heat walking. Cold for sure.
