last nite the cops came to my house so i hid my gear in the woods overnite. It was 25degrees & damp out. When i picked the stuff up it was partialy froze,bottles were wet and labels soggy. IS THIS STUFF RUINED? WILL IT STILL WORK AS GOOD?
 
It is still good,freezing won't do any harm unless it gets to temperatures that can pretty much only be obtained in a lab. The reason heat kills it is because as you add heat, you are adding energy which is stored in rotational and vibrational energy in the bonds of the molecule. Enough energy and bam, bonds break. When you cool it, there isn't a guarantee that these will reform. However, if it was cooled and you reheated it slowly to room temp, you're fine, no structural changes would have happened.

bro i say you make popsicles out of it. lick them throughout the day to create a sustained release.
 
Lol, if the cops are coming to your house, you got bigger probs then if your frozen gear is still good. j/k bro- your shit should still be good to go
 
did you see any crystals come out of solution, if ya did atleast you know there is more in it than just oil. Heat it up and they will go back into solution. oh and ofcourse swab the tops with alcohol since you had them laying in the woods...
