Sounds great, WIN.  I also hope that the low temp doesn't exceed 95 degrees.  
You don't need to have any organs overheating.... and shutting down.

Consider that your normal body temp is around 99 degrees.  Go up by 5 degrees 
and you are both sick and a candidate for the other side.

If your body temp drops 5 degrees, you can still survive for a very long time.

During the summer, it comes more obvious.  People dying from being overheated 
and watching the Med Techs trying to cool the body down to prevent the organs 
from shutting down.  Its not a very pretty sight.
