Cold is a mindset most of the time.
Exactly. There’s a huge gap between ‘feeling cold’ and ‘being cold’. The human body is perfectly capable of operating for extended periods at temperatures that we deem ‘uncomfortable’. After all, our species survived to the present day, and proper clothing and central heating are relatively new inventions.
The human body itself produces a tremendous amount of heat. Go sit in a cold room with a few friends and it’ll soon get toasty.
I’ve spent a good amount of hours outdoors in cold and rainy weather. If you give in to ‘feeling cold’, the body doesn’t really learn to adapt to it. I know exactly when my body goes from ‘this feels cold’ to actually being cold and at risk of hypothermia.
central heating, yes, but proper clothing? I think you're underestimating how effective animal hides can be...
and while we didn't have "central heating" as you're referring, we did have "central fire" (a big fire pit in the middle of a round house or similar) 😅
