Winter Camping
and Backpacking Tips
Rating: ««««
This
article tells you everything you need to bring when going winter camping. It talks about clothing layers, winter
accessories, and important items to bring.
The
article starts with some pre-trip planning.
It recommends to not go alone, study the maps, leaving a trip plan so
others know where you will be and when you will come back, things like
that. The next section is about layered
clothing. It talks about the base layer,
(wicking) the middle layer, (insulating layer) and the shell layer. (Outer
layer) Then it recommends that you get
winter or mountaineering boots, but you can use normal hiking boots, but is not
recommended. The next section gives you
a list of ten items that are very important to bring while camping. You should bring a map and compass, extra
clothing, a flash light, first aid supplies, fire starters, extra food, and
water, and sun protection items like sunglasses. The article recommends bringing a sleeping
bag that is rated 10°F lower than the coldest temperature you expect to
encounter.
I would
recommend this to anyone that enjoys camping during the winter, or is planning
to camp in the near future.
