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.

Answer A: Which are the best lightweight, non-solar, camping lanterns available?
The Black Diamond Moji R+ is a nice small tent lantern. I believe it's also rather widely available. Pros: - Small - Rechargeable - Dimmable - Hanging hooks (magnets too but I have never found the occasion for them) Cons: - Outdated Micro-USB port instead of USB-C - Full RGB colors, which...

Question Tarp ridgeline attachment: over, under or from the edges?
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 lower down to the ground. I.e. the classic tent shape. There are three ways to connect the tarp to th...

Comment Post #45055 Good enough for home. Sometimes you just need to pour from one bottle to another. These internal threaded bottles pour miserably, so I thought of getting a Trangia safety valve just for the spout. Seems it should work well enough.

Answer A: Does toothpaste freeze?
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.

Question Does toothpaste freeze?
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-freezing alternatives, or do I just have to pack it close to my body?

Question Does a softshell/hardshell specific DWR product make a difference?
E.g. Nikwax has different DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment products for softshells and hardshells. Are these actually different products (other than in label)? Can one substitute one for the other without noticeable differences? Clearly it makes sense for the manufacturer to try and s...
