Winter Camping

Planning, Gear, and Best Practices

Planning your adventure

Know what is ahead, Be Prepared!

Resources

https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/NorthernTier/pdf/2018_19_Winter/CWLT_Participant_Guide_2019.pdf

​

Look for accredited and reliable resources for information on best practices

Planning your adventure

• Winter runs from Dec 21 to March 20
• Cold evening and night temperatures typically start creeping in during October
• We are often “cold weather camping” rather than truly winter camping
• Conditions change quickly in transitional seasons

• Note the temperature differential between Lubbock and Taos
• Weather may be very different where you’re headed, especially when climbing elevation in transitional seasons

Body Heat

Biology and thermo-dynamics

Losing Heat

• Radiation – Direct heat loss
• Convection – warm air surrounding the body replaced by cold air
• Conduction – Loss through contact
• Evaporation - perspiration
• Respiration – breathing out warm, moist air

• Someone slept on the ground where the bare oval is below the canopy. This is an example of poor insulation between their body and the ground.

Generating Heat

• External – Sun, fire, etc
• Food – calories and nutrition
• Basal Metabolic Heat Production – output from basic body function
• Shivering – involuntary response
• Work / exercise – don’t over do it

C – O – L – D

• Clean – snow, dirt, oil clog dead air space eliminating loft
• Overheating – don’t sweat!
• Layers – Wicking, warmth, wind
• Dry – don’t sweat, dust off snow, change clothes

Layers

Not like an onion

Wicking

• Get moisture away from the body
• Tops
• Bottoms
• Underwear
• Wool
• Polyester

Warmth

• Loft
• Dead air pockets
• Down
• Fleece
• Synthetic down and blend

Wind

• Shell
• Water / wind resistant
• Raincoat
• Winter coat
• Keep the windchill out!

Going to Bed

Harder than it sounds…

Preparing for Sleep

• Get completely warm
• Hot water bottles
• Go to the bathroom!

• Someone slept on the ground where the bare oval is below the canopy. This is an example of poor insulation between their body and the ground.

Common Injuries

Make them less common…

Common conditions

• Dehydration
• Hypothermia
• Frost nip / bite
• Snow blindness
• Sunburn
• Burns

Shelters and Gear

Liquid Fuel Stoves

Pump on fuel bottle allows fuel pressure to be maintained at altitude and in cold weather.

Canisters can lose pressure and become unusable.

Sleep System

Isolate your body from the ground

Image shows a 3season air pad isolated from the ground via a standard closed cell pad.

Closed cell foam typically has a very high R value, and low weight.

Open cell foam can be used for 4 season camping but read before you buy!
