Showering is something that most people do. I say most, because I am sure that there is at least one person living on some remote island with no form of running water, and who therefore cannot shower. For those remote few, this blog will make no sence. For everyone else, here is some useful post shower advice. Every person who has showers (or baths YICK!) has a process following their shower. This process for me is followed very strictly without thought or considderation. I don't need any thought or considderation, as my process has been perfected simply by necessity. Simply put, living in Canada where the winters are oh so cold, has forced me to create (over my 24 years) a flawless system in which the least amount of heat can be lost post shower. In fact, the pre-shower time/effort is the part of your shower routien that will ensure a happy post-shower camper. The first step, and key component of a post shower routien, is actually take before the shower is taken. One must get a towel (it does not have to be large) and place it directly outside the shower (prior to getting in). This may seem like extra effort and wasted time, but I assure you it is not. Your feet will thank you, when they step onto a warm clothlike material, as opposed to the cold, hard tile that usually covers the floors in bathrooms. It's here that I will let you in on the biggest shower secret of all.... It's all about the feet. Feet have the greatest chance at comming in to contact with cold substances when you exit a shower. Feet also release a significant amout of precious heat when given the chance. Simply put, feet have the ability to be your greatest shower enemy (if not treated like athe spoiled little child they are). The other key step to staying warm is also taken prior to getting into the shower. One must place a pair of socks within reach of the towel/area upon which your feet will warmly stand. Putting socks on first is a must. This again prevents heat from exiting your body at a fast pace. And finally, the last, piece of advice I can offer in relation to showers is in regards to the time in which you choose to embark on such an adventure. While morning showers will most certainly leave you wide awake, and alert, they also often cause a number of not-so-enjoyable side effects. Morning showers can sometimes casue some or all of the following: constant and uncontrollable shaking (almost seizure like in extreme cases), short sharp zinning sensations (not pleasant) that run through your body when the water first comes in contact with your skin (this feeling will last for up to 30 seconds after first getting into the shower, and can also happen post shower if per-shower percautions were not taken). In additon, the "deer caught in the headlight" syndrom can also happen durring early morning showers. The deer caught in the headlight syndrom is usually identifiable by tensing muscles and bulging eyes. Evening showers (which take place when the house is at its warmest) are therefor advisable, provided that extenuating circumstances which require a morning shower (and the risk of the associated side effects) do not exist.
