To warm up your boots in the morning while winter camping, try putting them in a warm sleeping bag overnight or using hand warmers inside them before putting them on.
Zippo 12h Refillable Hand Warmer IMO they are far from ideal, but with some tricks it's possible to circumvent most of the downfalls. At any rate they are widely available. Pros Pieces fit snu...
Recommendations for classic liquid fuel hand warmers. The ones that combust petroleum based fuel without a flame in a catalytic "burner". Besides the normal considerations of build quality, usabil...
Additionally to @Lost's solid answer, take special care when handling the wet bag! The fabrics aren't designed to take on the weight of all that absorbed water. Never just grab it from one place. I...
Biking currently has 26 posts and bikes has 17. Neither has a tag description. The latter is newer. This answer suggests merging them and no one's objected in the four months since it was posted...
In this video, Alex Hibbert recommends Tall Hippo Saks precisely for this purpose. A polar expeditionist probably knows what he's talking about. To my knowledge, they are only available in North A...
Instead of buying expensive dedicated vapor barrier socks, you can just use a trash bag as a liner sock. It likely breathes less too. However not all trash bags are created equal. Properties of a ...
In really cold temperatures, it's often recommended to use a separate overbag made from a synthetic material over your main down sleeping bag. Supposedly this helps moisture (from your body) escape...
When sleeping in cold temperatures in a sleeping bag with the opening closed to the minimum — just your face — how to keep your nose from getting cold? I feel like the cold air coming in will alway...
Mittens at least feel warmer, but in practice this is offset by the fact that there are always little tasks which cannot be done with mittens. When wearing glove liners, I can usually get the job d...

Good rectangular single person tarp made from a lightweight composite fabric such as Dynema or UltraTNT, as these tend to be lighter than the commonly used Silnylon.
Talking about the basic A-frame formation, where there is a higher up ridgeline going through the middle of a rectangular tarp (non-diagonally) e.g. from tree to tree, and the two sides are pegged ...
No it doesn't. Went ahead and just tested a basic Colgate in the field at around -18C. Didn't even feel stiffer than usual so it could probably take quite a bit colder temps too.
When camping in freezing conditions, does normal toothpaste freeze? I imagine it would be hopeless to get it out of the tube.. And in the event that it does indeed freeze, are there some non-freez...
I suppose answers may depend somewhat on where in the world you are. What rights and obligations do humans and dogs have in general, or in certain areas. For example dogs might be forbidden unleash...
I take my young children (0-7 years) outside to local trails. It's not remote, virgin wilderness, just a few dozen hectares of forest and stream. The kids enjoy it, and the youngest one is still le...
Make a feather stick. This is a stick with many thin shavings attached. Doing it well requires the knife to be very sharp, so it tests their sharpening skills. And the end product can be used to te...
