Assume that a mitten measures 4" by 8".
4.5 of them would cover a square foot.
196,020 would cover an acre.
Canada is 2,466,614,400 acres.
483,505,754,688,000 lost mittens would cover the landmass of Canada.
Assume that the population of Canada will remain constant at 36,000,000.
Assume that every Canadian loses 1 mitten each winter.
Canada would be covered in lost mittens in 13,430,715.4 years.
A 1/8" layer of lost mittens in the geological record would be a clear indicator of human presence.
