I'm surprised the US army doesn't use yurts. They would have to get an external coating put on the material but they are definitely arctic rated and portable.

Hi, is there any data on Morphine autoinjectors freezing and thawing? My unit spends a quarter of the year in negative temperatures (celsius), in case of real deployment, they will get them, but its hard to keep them usable if guys spends 4/5 of the entire time in cold. I have read that paper about drugs in extreme environment, but there are some information that you might have after your tests, like the one with lactated ringer not being usefull after single freezing cycle. If you can share anything you managed to find, it would be worth its weight in gold.
