Winter camping considerations:

  • Hat to keep you warm
  • Remember C O L D:
    • C (Clean) - dirty clothes lose their loft and get you cold.
    • O (Overheat) - never get sweaty, strip off layers to stay warm but not too hot.
    • L (Layers) - dress in synthetic layers (especially close to your skin) for easy temperature control. Air is an excellent insulator and by wearing several layers of clothes you will keep warm.
    • D (Dry) - wet clothes (and sleeping bags) also lose their insulation. Staying dry is thekey to staying warm.
  • COTTON KILLS! Do not wear cotton clothing, especially close to the skin.
  • Remember the 3 W's of layering - Wicking inside layer, Warmth middle layer(s) and
    Wind/Water outer layer. Wicking should be a polypropylene material (upper/long
    underwear and sock liner). Warmth layer(s) should be fleece or wool. The Wind/Water
    layer should be Gore-Tex or at least 60/40 nylon.
