Once again, a new video "tips and tricks"
special cold season, just before winter
keep warm during watching this video
so, then, you can go sleeping outside
And for the winter ambiance in Britttany :
Wear warm and dry socks, special night
for having less cold to your toes
let them exceed from few cm
to trap warm air
unfold your sleeping bag 30 min before going to bed
It will recover it's fluffyness and insulation
have a warm bottle for the night
to keep the warmth around you
take a metallic bottle inside a wool sock
near your femoral artery,
warmth will diffuse even quicker into your body
a silk sheet will gain many degrees
and is easier to wash/clean
because dirt sticks to your sleeping bag and become less efficient
a pijama dry and clean, special night
will give several confortable degrees
as well as gloves
a hat, or a scarf
you can wear whatever you want as long as you are not compressed in your sleeping bag
otherwise insulation won't work and you'll get cold
never breathe IN in the sleeping bag
condensation would wet yourself
always let a small ouverture
or breath through a sleeve or tissue if it's too cold
sleep straight
to avoid any bend in your sleeping bag and makes weaken point
so insulation is not compressed
if the ground is too cold, you can sleep on the edge
reducing the contact with the ground
if the position is too inconfortable
sleep on your arms to insulate and trap more air between and your body
if your mattress is too fin, empty your bag
and place it under the most important part to protect: your bust
before going to bed, do push-ups
to create an excess of warmth which heat your sleeping bag
but ... not until your sweat ...
during the night, if you still feel the cold
do few abs and stay in your sleeping bag
if you feel the cold at the beginning of the night
it will get worse
because temperatures constantly decrease
until 1 hour before the sunset
shake and dry your sleeping bag in the morning
moisture won't stay for the next night
put your other clothe between the mattress and you
so they don"t freeze during the night
and it gives more insulation
sleep with your batteries and electronic devices
so they don't run out of battery because of the cold
Winter dries faster than hot summer
but you don't feel it
for this reason, drink !
Drink and eat, but warm !
otherwise your food will make you loose heat
whereas it could bring you some from the inside
pee as soon as you feel it
it's useless to warm a liquid
inside your body
keep some water in your bottle
during the night to keep hydrated
and close to you so it doesn't freeze
And for men,
you can make a hot water bottle with your liquid :)
but don't forget the next morning
avoid sweating
you'll get cold by being wet
so keep your warm clothe inside your bag
during your activities
and take them -dry- for the break or the night
avoid cotton clothe
prefer merinos wool
which keep warm and dry fast
wool as second layer is excellent
Choose a third layer clothe which
has a wast drawstring
to avoid the "bellow effect" :
air coming from the bottom
cool your body
and evacuate your own heat for the collar
for this reason, a scarf or a balaclava
limits heat lost by this phenomena
As well as a hood, is not only useful for rain
but also avoid that heat dissipates from our head
Use a car sunvisor
to reflect heat toward you
or cut a piece to put in your shoes
and never get cold from your feet
choose carefully your camp location
cold winds go down slopes during the night
don"t sleep on valley's bottom
but slightly higher
snow is composed of 90% of air
it's a perfect insulation
use it to build protection against winds and cold
always put your headtorch at the same place in your bag
so if you get surprised by the dark
you grab it easy
Install your camp at a minimum of
1h30 before the night
then you can enjoy the sunset and light the fire
so cut your wood before the dark
instead of in the middle of the night
when you finished to cut some wood, cut twice more !
it's not during the cold night that you'll enjoy sawing
because you under-estimated the cold
Btw, putting 2 log under your firewood
avoid to get it wet
and avoid cutting wood 10 m around your camp
because if you still need some wood during the night
it's easier to cut some close to your camp
when it's too cold it's hard to differentiate wet /dry wood
split the log and touch with your lips
if the wood feels warm, it's dry
if the wood feels cold, it's wet
make a half-log plateform to start a fire
otherwise snow will melt and light off your fire
keep few small branches/tinder next to you
to make some flammes fast
and find something in the dark
if you are STILL cold, cut some wood
cutting, carrying will warm you
as well as burning it afterward
Pour some water in your pot
it will melt snow faster
shake snow on you before going next to the fire
otherwise, it would wet you while melting
Spruce branches are excellent insulation for sitting or even sleeping
cut some to make thick mattress
and get insulated from the ground
keep your bottles under snow powder
thanks to snow insulation,
water won't freeze for day
don't put any tool on the ground
if it's snowing, you won't find it again
and i'm speaking by experience ...
If you are used to use leaves after pooping ...
well ... it doesn't work during winter ...
snow is efficient, findable everywhere
and let few trace
if you have a big water container
switch upside down for the night
if it's freezing, ice will form on the upper part
and won't block the cap
few salt grains decrease water solidification temperature
and add complementary mineral salts
if it comes from melting snow
Take shoes a little bit bigger
to trap air without being compressed
and wear thick wool socks
lithium batteries are better than alcaline ones
they work at low temperature, light, have a better battery-life, and can be long-stored
alcohol gives a warm sensation
but your whole body numbs and cools
so drink back at home
lighter have to be warmed by heat body
before being able to use them
survival kit always on you in case of issues
as well as the fire kit
with waterproof tinders
snacks and sweet are welcome in cold weather
digestion produces heat
and sugar boost your organism
use a pencil for writing and drawing
because ink freezes ...
hey, even if I like it,
I'm not a expert in extreme cold environment
so if you too have some tips to share
write a comment
so everyone can profit !
I'm thankful to many people for this "tips and tricks" compilation
Particularly to a swedish facebook group
and Florian Leloup from the Nemophilist blog
He wrote an amazing article on the cold which completes my video
the link is just below
And to a friend who is now living in Lapland, in winter, outside
He has a lot experience in cold environment
and now he organizes bushcraft camps
so if you are interested for learning,
his contact is just below
it's Refuel Tobias
