From Finnish conscripts on skis at minus forty to US Marines in Iraqi heat, this episode explores how extreme temperatures degrade human performance and military equipment. We break down the physics of heat stroke and hypothermia, why lithium-ion batteries fail at both ends of the thermometer, and how Nordic militaries design gear and doctrine for winter warfare that most armies can't handle.
