Whew! That was fun and entertaining! I did find this statement: >>Wool actually produces 27 calories of heat per gram of wool as it goes from >>DRY to WET! <<
It was on several sites. However, I'm going to ignore this bit of wisdom. The text in which it was contained, had an incredible amount of spelling errors. I mistrust information, when simple words are spelled incorrectly. I also found that particular phrase included in many of the sites I found. I don't know where it started, so I can't trace it back, to find out where/how the information was generated. The best site, IMO, was this one: http://www.princeton.edu/~oa/winter/wintcamp.shtml#Personal%20Equipment scroll down to 'personal equipment' and click on it. I did try to do a google search on 'wet wool calorie'. Couldn't find a thing related to any of those words. This has happened to me before, when I try to google someone else's information. Days later, I can repeat the google search, and find what I was looking for. I'll try this search in a few days, and see what comes up. wrnk d2 To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
