> putting in 12-14 hour days of pulling a sled in minus 40C, you have to

Oddly they include the redundant "C" for -40 but don't include it, or the "F," in the next paragraph:

> by running outside naked in minus 30 and rubbing yourself down with snow

Then they restore redundant ones a few paragraphs later:

> * It may be as low as minus 40C outside* . . . which in minus 40C is quite high

They already established the context, C, it would be more ridiculous to switch units but if they were unit switchers they would include it.

I think he's saying -40C and -40F are the same thing, and is complaining about the units being on the 40 and not the 30.

It's a rather extreme nitpick.

This is quite the nitpick.

We have had the units nitpick for distance and temperature now. There must be another, wonder if we can get a third?
