Tips to Stay Warm While Camping in Cold Temperatures

For the true camping enthusiast, outdoor adventures aren’t limited to the nice weather of the spring and fall. Camping in the winter allows you to experience a quiet serenity that is unmatched by other times of the year. Plus, there are many destinations, such as Alaska, that are great for camping but require the ability to withstand cold temperatures. Here are a few tips to keep you warm while enjoying the outdoors in even the coldest weather:  Be sure to check out our outdoor gear on Incredibuys.com.

●     Follow the 3 Ws of clothing layers. This means a wicking layer underneath (long underwear), followed by a warm layer (fleece) and topped off with a wind layer (waterproof shell).

●     Avoid wet feet altogether. In addition to wearing a pair of waterproof and insulated boots, try covering your feet in a plastic covering before sliding them into your boot.

●     Use a heavily insulated sleeping bag. Finding a sleeping bag that is both light to carry and rated for extremely cold temperatures may be expensive, but look out for Sleeping Bag Deals to keep the endeavor affordable.

●     Stay well-nourished with frequent snacks. Your body will stay warmer as you consume and burn more calories. Snack more often, than you would normally, to keep the fire burning in your body.

●     Wear a hat at all times. It may sound like a basic concept, but halfway into your hike you may find yourself starting to get overheated. If so, loosen up other clothing, but always keep your hat on. Allow too much heat to escape, and you’ll be cold all night.
