How Do We Lose Body Heat Conduction, Convection, And Radiation

Want to know how you lose body heat?

Heat is transferred by three ways. Conduction, Convection, And Radiation.

Right Now As I write this I’m losing body heat on my backside from Convection. Sitting in my hammock without a pad under me.

My legs are being warmed by conduction using an electric blanket.

And lastly, my tiny house is usually warmed by radiant heat provided by my Buddy Burner heater.

Just as how Conduction, Convection, And Radiation are the methods by which we lose body heat they are also how we gain warmth.

Let’s break down each of the three heat transfer mechanisms in depth.

Let’s Talk about Nuclear Survival Gear today. I hear a lot going on about nuclear war with Russia. I would like to say up front that I do not think that is going to happen. Nuclear war with any of the big world powers is very unlikely.

If any world power launches a nuclear attack on anyone the rest of the world will retaliate. Putin may be many things but he is not a Nihilist. No one wants to scorch the world.

If we ever see a nuke set off It will be a lone wolf bomber. Or a group that is not affiliated with a country that doesn’t care about the outcome. I see the likeliness of a dirty bomb being set off in strategic locations to be more probable.

With that said having preps for a dirty bomb makes sense. If I’m wrong and Russia hits us with some nukes then the same gear will work. At least if there’s anything left. If you are in the area that gets hit it’s game over. No prep can save you from taking on a nuclear bomb.
