Camping Etiquette 105
A few tips for being outdoors in the winter...  

Clothing is one of the keys to staying warm and dry. You need to layer your clothes, and be sure they are not too tight. Loose clothing is more insulating and can keep you warmer. Never wear cotton clothing when camping in the cold.

 

Your choice of coat is important. Be sure it is large enough to wear around your layers without being tight. A coat that has a hood will help to keep your body warm.

 

Always wear a hat. In extreme cold, you may choose a ski mask for extra warmth. 90% of your body heat can be lost through your head.

 

For your feet, start with thinner wicking socks, and finish with wool socks over them. Any boots or shoes you wear should be waterproof.

 

Your sleeping bag should be synthetic and rated for cold weather camping. When ever sleep on a cot in cold weather camping. This allows the cold air to touch every side of you. Purchase an insulated mat that will keep you off of the ground and keep you warm.

 

To get extra life warm your flashlight batteries by the fire.
