Warmer bivys - arms inside that parka

To make your parka much warmer on the unplanned bivy, you pull your arms inside; like Houdini working out of a straight jacket. Then pull the sleeves of the parka inside and wrap around you. You’ll reduce the exposed surface area and increase the effective insulation.  Your cold hands will be much happier inside and eating and drinking is easier.
