Question How long do electric hand warmers last?
How long do electric hand warmers last in comparison to other types, such those iron oxidizing pouches? Manufacturers' claims tend to be useless because they only advertise the max lifetime with minimum power.

Question Long and narrow inflatable sleeping pad
Sleeping pads tend to follow a sizing scheme like this:[^standard] Regular: 52x183 cm Long: 65x195 cm I.e. the long one is also wider. I'm looking for longer pad which would not be too much wider than the regular models. Say around 55x195 cm.

Comment Post #43855 This is of course the easiest way when there's a body of water (or a bath tub) available, but oftentimes this isn't the case. Especially on a trip.

Answer A: How to clean a sleeping bag ?
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. Instead support it's weight from below over a large area. Like you would lift a friendly (and preferably ...

Answer A: Good trash bags for vapor barrier liners socks?
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 America.

Question Good trash bags for vapor barrier liners socks?
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 good VBL trash bag: - Strong, but not needlessly bulky - Some stretch - Handles well in freezing co...

Question How does a synthetic overbag work?
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 your inner down bag, keeping it dry and lofty. The escaped moisture should then freeze within the overb...

Answer A: Are liner mittens significantly warmer than liner gloves?
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 done by just removing the shell mitten, as opposed to removing also the equally clumsy mitten liner.

Answer A: Winter Camping: How to warm up your boots in the morning?
Stick in handwarmers like 15min (subject to the type you're using) before you're going to put them on. I like the crystallizing) type for this purpose, but if you are going to be opening a pair of iron-oxidizing warmers type for the day anyway, you might as well put them first to your boots.
