You've been around here for a while. I'm surprised that you didn't take the Winter forum more seriously, and post there. Most hypothermia deaths occur in rainy 40s, its more dangerous than when its below freezing. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />


However I realise <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />u were probably roped into this and the scouts need an adult and sure they're supposed to be campers BUT - Your choice of personal gear indicates that you are not qualified to lead a bunch of people in the potentially disastrous circumstances, AND you are not personally prepared. You must lead if need be, you cannot become a liability. You should refuse to go unless a qualified leader goes, and get him to help with your gear.

P.S. to see if you are prepared, stand in a shower in your hiking gear for ten minutes. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
