A neat video put together by Garand Thumb, explores extreme winter conditions that could potentially bind your side-piece up if you don't properly prepare.

Do these circumstances seem extreme? To some, I'm sure it does. On the flip side though, I'd be willing to bet people that have ever been stationed in Alaska or Fort Drum have endured situations like this more often than you'd think. I'm even willing to bet our Canadian friends endure this more often than U.S. based people.
