Cold-Weather Camping Is Worth It! Ahh, cold-weather camping. There’s so much you love about it: quiet trails and parks, getting the first campsite everywhere you go, and enjoying hot, fresh coffee while you watch the morning fog disperse right outside your camper. The only downside is about cold-weather camping. Not only is it unpleasant, it could also have a negative impact on your travel experience: if you’re too cold to sleep through the night, you could be sure to be exhausted the following day to walk for miles on ending. This list contains some ways to keep warm while camping in cold temperatures. No matter if you’re camping in middle of December, or simply setting up your tent in a region with major evening temperatures We’ve compiled a list of seven tips to make winter camping warmer. It may sound counterintuitive and yet, why would you want to sleep in a tent that are basically holes? We need to dig into the science. Condensation is caused due to the heat of your body and the frigidity of the outside air. If your tent doesn’t have vents, these tiny drops of water can run through your tent, and then soak into everything around it and even the sleeping bag. It’s more painful than being cold, but worse to wake up wet. There’s no scientific evidence needed: the ground is cold, don’t rest on it. Adding an inflatable mattress pad to your camping set-up serves two goals: it reduces the contact between your body and the cold floor of the tent, and adds a layer of warm air underneath your body. Sleeping pads are measured using «r-value;» the higher the r value, the better the pad, and the more suitable it is for cold weather camping. Modern sleeping pads fit tightly inside their own sacks of stuff, so even backcountry campers will find them easy to carry. Making a fire can be a slow process, and you want yours to be burning as the sun sets and you become cold. Make sure you have fire-starters that you can easily use and, ideally waterproof. Fire-starters should be brought that are user-friendly and are waterproof during winter. This is due to the fact that the kindling or firewood that you come across will be dampened by snow, rain, and/or cold-weather dew. Sweetfire Firestarters from UCO is an excellent option since they feature a strike-able tips that makes them much as user-friendly as matches. Some of them can burn for up to 15 minutes, so you’ll have time to get the fire burning. Essential cold-weather camping gear includes fire starters. In winter, steel is better than plastic for cold-weather camping as plastic may crack if it is too cold. Holding metal tools for more than a few minutes could make your hands too cold. Prior to embarking for your next excursion make sure to wrap all metal objects in duct tape, including tools, fuel containers, water bottles, and many more. UCO provides a great butane torch with duct tape that you can make use of. You’ll be able to utilize your hands with more efficiency and also the duct tape option is an excellent option. There’s no better feeling than sleeping in your favourite top and flannel trousers. While camping in cold weather, the objective is to retain body heat, and for this reason, cotton isn’t a great choice. Cotton absorbs water, which means the second you start to sweat or sweat while sleeping your clothing is likely absorb that moisture and, as we all know there is nothing that makes you feel colder quicker than wet clothing. Also, whatever you sleep in must be fit snugly. This will allow moisture to be taken up by the fabric rather than being absorbed by your skin. Fabrics that draw moisture away from the skin and promote sweating are the most effective. These are usually synthetic (or man-made) fabrics. Merino wool is an organic fabric that has similar characteristics, but it’s typically more expensive than synthetics. Pajamas for camping in cold weather consist of the base layer that is utilized to ski. A great advantage of cold-weather camping is that you’ll probably have a choice of camping spots. But you don’t want to choose a spot based only on the view. Tall brush and bushes will aid in blocking wind, which will create a warmer area in which to sleep or make an fire. Sunlight can also influence the mood so be aware of where the sun is shining when you arrive at the campsite. If you’re in a position, select the spot that’s going to be hit by the sun’s rising as soon the day begins to break. The coldest time of night is right before sunrise. You can reduce that period of freezing cold by making sure your tent is situated in an area that is the first to be exposed to morning sunlight. There is no need to be covered in order to keep warm. Before you get into your sleeping bag at night, leave the items you’re not wearing in an easily accessible spot. If your feet feel particularly cold, you can protect them with a sweatshirt , or an outer jacket. Or, if that your sleeping bag too roomy, you can even roll up your clothes and then put it in your sleeping bag.
