Yep. I bet it's the shoes. That time Bjørn nearly froze his toes off ... He'd been out in -17C for two days. The first day (up the mountain and put up the tent) went fine because his boots were just big enough for the lightweight wool socks he was wearing. But after a night in a sleeping bag, the socks were damp. So he changed to the spares he'd brought along, which happened to be thicker. Just enough thicker that it made his boots too tight. You gotta have that air space and wiggle room.

P.S. I'm puzzled by some of the acronyms on the site. I think I get some. LBS is local bike shop? DP is domestic partner? But what's DH? domestic husband? as opposed to wild husband? darling husband? darned husband? I guess all might apply depending on context.
