- Do not sleep directly on the ground: To isolate ourselves from the cold and humidity of the ground, it can be done in two ways:
- Put cardboard and plastic under the tent . If you can’t get the job done, it can also do the trick, in addition to softening the ground you were sleeping on.
- Spread some thermal blankets between the floor of the store and the bags. These blankets are perfect to use, as they are light, they do not bulge and they are cheap.
- Wear the right clothes:
- The thermal or synthetics better hold heat than cotton.
- Avoid tight clothing . While we wear several layers is better than a single thick one, it is not recommended that the clothes make us too tight. Sequence the circulation of the blood and it would cool us down
- Wear thick gloves and socks . Hands and feet are very susceptible to cold easily, increasing the sensation of cold in the rest of the body. Therefore, keeping hands and feet warm by covering them with these garments improves body temperature.
- Avoid wrapping yourself with excessive layers , you can get sweaty and it is not good for the sweat to cool down later. If we are hot, it is better to unbutton the clothes we are wearing a bit avoiding condensation inside.
- Place the tent near a wall , or build a wall with rocks to avoid direct contact with the wind. You can even ride inside a cave!
- Orient the tent perpendicular to the wind , thus preventing it from entering directly through the entrance. Needless to say, never get into a wet jacket or wet clothes. But if you already knew:
- Adjust the hood of the jacket well , raising the zipper to the top and pulling the cords well. Through the head is where the part of the heat is lost and thus we will prevent our heat from escaping and entering the exterior of the exterior.
- Adjust the size of the jacket: Fill the empty spaces of your jacket with clothes or tie a knot around the excess part. Thus, you prevent pockets of cold air from forming and taking time to heat up.
- On the other hand, if the bag is too small, you may not be fully covering your body and you will be tighter: Put hot water bottles inside the bag. It is a good technique to warm it up before putting it inside and the heat will stay for about 6 to 8 hours.
- Hydration is very important while camping in the cold. It can deceive us to think that with the cold we are not perspiring, but liquid is lost without realizing it.
- The human warmth. Do not leave empty spaces between your fellow stores, you will be creating a place where cold air can creep in. In addition, the human body gives off heat that it can transmit from one to another
- Try to empty your bladder before going to bed . Urinating at low temperatures causes chills and you may lose your temper from it.
