I just wanted a warm fireplace in the cabin with a big comforter wrapped around me.
I just took a trip to the hot springs and we lost our heat on the way here. That was nothing compared to what almost happened on the way back though. I took off early from the hot springs because it was getting dark and the path back was quite treacherous. After about five minutes of walking back I realized I was going the wrong way, so I turned around and went back to meet the group. When I got back though the group was gone and it was just me by myself. My HVAC rep buddy had my phone and that was going to be my light to see, so now I was lost with no light and no phone to call. I kept calm even though I knew I would not survive the sub zero night with no heating device or tent. Luckily, I spotted some lights above me to the left, far above me, and I yelled and whistled and they heard me because the lights were flashing me. I just wanted a warm fireplace in the cabin with a big comforter wrapped around me. So, I ran and caught up with the group and we made it back to safety. I thought about that mountain when I got home and realized if I did get lost, and had no type of furnace or space heating device to keep me warm I would have ended up frozen by the time morning rolled around. It was eight below zero that night I heard on the weather forecast the next morning.
