Ah Canada


It's funny, the things you come across and realize are quintessentially Canadian. I guess I've just spent enough time with Americans explaining that we don't generally refer to 'beanies' as 'snow caps' north of the 49th parallel.

I was just perusing the North Shore Rescue website which includes a list of ten essential items you should pack if you venture into the wilds. One piece of gear they recommend is a warm hat because so much body heat is lost through the head. Then it says;
"Remember the saying 'If your feet get cold put your toque on'."
I'll bet no ones' mom told 'em that in the States.
