Cold Weather Tips
Eat a Big Dinner
Digestion generates heat. A full stomach keeps you warmer than an empty one.
Stay Dry
Wet clothes = cold night. Change into dry base layers before bed.
Use a Sleeping Pad
Ground steals 80% of your body heat. Never skip the pad, even on warm nights.
Put Clothes in Your Bag
Cold boots in your sleeping bag = eventually warm boots. Start this 30 min before bed.
