It took them hours to dry a towel.

I think I would be able to dry a towel in a few hours too.

Xiaou2:

  Dry a sopping ice cold wet towel in under  40f degree weather?

 Most people would shiver uncontrollably,  and get hypothermia.    Id love to
see you try it.

patrickl:
Well "under 40 degrees" is around bodytemperature for most of the world, but if you insist on fahrenheit then it's not for me no. I've seen a Navy seal who could do that though. Apparantly they're trained to suppress shivering and to survive extreme cold for a long time.

Xiaou2:

 My apologies for not clarifying F.

  "That"   As in  That  "EXACTLY"?     I think its one thing to be able to survive in cold
weather for long durations... and yet another to be able to generate so much energy that
you actually can generate enough heat to keep you warm AND excess heat to steam dry a sopping wet towel.    (and these guys are not running around.   They are stationary,
sitting in meditation)   Its quite amazing.


 A lot of the people who train for things like Cold water submersion use similar techniques
of meditation.  But they also do things such as eat high fat diet to keep enough body
fuel and insulation for the trick.


 Is it some form of "CHI"  or is it simply a bodily reaction that only a select few
(or people who train a specific way)  can tap into?  Hard to say.   I try to maintain
an open mind.   


 On the other hand... these monks dont set wood on fire.   They simply release a good
deal of heat under extreme conditions.    My point being... that many of these feats
are very low power.   Subtle.   Non-Extreme.    (No Chi fireballs)

patrickl:
Not exactly the same, but he sat in a tub of ice water for half an hour or so. Don't see how he wouldn't be able to dry a towel on his body.
