Tips For Cold Weather and the Great Outdoors
Filed Under Camping | Comments Off
Cold weather is just around the corner and here are some tips for dealing with the cold while enjoying the great outdoors this fall. If your hiking for a day or it’s a weekend camping trip don’t be caught off guard by the cold!
- A wool stocking cap that can be pulled down over your ears is still the best protection from cold weather conditions.
- Wear dark underwear. In cold climates it is said to absorb more body heat keeping you warmer. And it’s dark color makes them dry quicker in the sun after washing.
- A large cotton bandanna can be a great utilitarian item for outdoor uses. Use it as a washcloth, towel, napkin, dish cloth and more.
- Always carry a whistle. It is one of the most important items you can have if you find yourself in a search and rescue situation. A whistle is much louder than the human voice when shouts for help may not be heard.
- Many don’t realize that adding a tent’s fly can substantially increase the strength of your tent. If you don’t need the rain or snow protection add your fly in high wind conditions.
