As a kid, we used to live in Limestone, Maine and then came to CO. So I’m used to snow and cold, but I wouldn’t make it 5 minutes out in the wild in that kind of weather. Would love to visit AK someday during their brief warm period.

I've skied the western mountains as well as primarily many years in Vermont, during the really cold cycle during the seventies and eigthies. Lowest temps I walked about late at night in a valley say a few miles from Killington Vermont was -38F. Skied in -25F at Jackson Hole Wy..
But as you mentioned, it is very dangerous to be outside un-properly dressed to the hilt, in the temps parts of Alaska and the NW Canada provinces are now experiencing.
My dad fifty years back described in detail how bad things where for him and his few signal corps Army associates at Fort Churchill, Manitoba back in the 1940's during WW2 when they would routinely experience below 50 conditions.
Real gradual global warming would be better for all humans and animal and plant life alike. Shame it is not the case.
