10 Cold Weather Camping Tips | Helpful Videos

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

I find wearing the skins of my enemies keeps me toastie on a cold night on the Canadian Shield but whatever works for you.

Tip number 8: Use proper sleep pad and if possible use pump instead of blowing moisture into sleep pad. Can lose insulation value with enough moisture.

[@davidarrington4667]

Great tips, I enjoyed video

Tell that to the army haha

Tip 9, go camping in summer...

[@prabhgunnsingh7357]

Thank you .Very good Tips. To the point no crap talk.

Me and my wife are going camping this weekend. The lows are 30-32 F. Got a truck bed tent I’m curious to see the difference being off the ground makes!

[@LoboLakerGaming]

Ive only gotten to use my truck tent once and it got to about 45 F at night. My sleeping pad kept me really warm, to the point my back was almost sweating, but I had a terrible sleeping bag that didnt keep the rest of me warm. Make sure you have a good bag and/or bonus blanket/quilt. Have fun!

Wondering where your hat is from? Love the design

[@SrslyFkt]

Love my we quilt. I don’t buy the pee thing. And it seems silly to think I’m heating the inside of my tent appreciably, especially one like the mesh tent in the video!

[@SiljeMeum]

What about hammock camping? Great video, thank you!

boiling water in water bottle wrapped in sock, inside sleeping bag. Just used this last weekend.

for a warm pillow, stick your extra clothes, towels ,etc into a pillow case for a warm - not air filled which gets, and stays, cold - pillow. some adjustments inside may be needed for comfort.

5,6,7, and 10 were def good and the most important. I'd trade the others with some other serious necessities. Other than that you have a great camera presence, and an amazing personality. Hope your channel does well. I have faith that it will!! Keep researching and do/try different things even if it's a little outside of the box. KZbin watchers love unique, different, and of course realistic stuff while still being humorous and funny!!!

Keep the water filter from freezing too. Cotton is aweome in the cold, if done right. As an outer layer over wool (think anorak) it is hard to beat... basically windproof and breathable. Not a great insulator for sure but it has its place

[@tomtenbrunsel266]

Capilene , fuel fire and you, hydrate and bury water, boots in bottom of sleeping bag, layer. Yukon Jack to spit into the fire😎

Nice

Great tips. I learned something new!.

[@tonylynch9181]

Using a hot water bottle is a great idea I use it all the time but should come with a Safety warning you must use the appropriate bottle cheap plastic one will disintegrate others may leak stay safe

Tip number 11- wait until the spring to actually enjoy camping.

[@takingbackfebruary1458]

You can definitely enjoy winter camping

[@stephen6134]

@@takingbackfebruary1458 I’m gonna go camping here soon so I’ll hold you to your statement😃

I have enjoyed colder weather camping by putting handwarmers at the bottom of my quilt before I go to bed🏕

Still keep hearing this idea that having a full bladder means your body is "wasting" heat trying to warm it up. I think it's what we used to call an, "old wives tale." Can you explain where this heat is supposed to be going? The fluid in your bladder is already at your core temperature before it even gets there. There's no heat going out of your bladder faster than anywhere else in the center of your body. If there's no heat leaving your bladder faster than anywhere else, you're not expending energy to heat this fluid up once it has been converted from your blood to your bladder. Simple, right?

[@rodshop5897]

@@aredheadisdead While I agree with you on the fact that getting up in the middle of the night to wee leads to a bit of lost sleep, allow me to ask a few questions of the "full bladder steals heat from your body" theory. Where does the fluid in our bladders come from just before it goes to the bladder? What temperature is it at when it enters the bladder? Where does that heat go? How does it get there? From a thermodynamics standpoint, I'm not convinced that there is any heat loss from the bladder.

[@rodshop5897]

@@aredheadisdead Sorry to have lost you on my questions. Since you've had some thermodynamics, let's look at it as a thermo problem and see if we can come to some answers. One of the key elements of thermodynamics is conservation of energy. To that end, we must identify how much heat energy is being lost from the urine being held, and where is that energy going. It's similar to the classic problem of putting a 35 watt fan in a 20' x 20' room with no heat loss and seeing how much it will raise the temperature of the room over a given time. The electricity is the energy being added. In the body the supply of fresh urine being put into the bladder by the kidneys is the energy being added. The walls of the bladder are at the same temperature as the core temp of the body, so there is no heat loss through those walls. Suppose we have a .35 L unit of urine, in a vessel which is surrounded by a body at the same temperature, and has a constant small addition of fresh urine being deposited into it, how much heat is lost? I'm sure you are able to calculate the value and document your assumptions. You may use metric or English units. Don't forget the Q is not lost outside the system, since all surrounding tissue is at the same temperature. Please show where that heat goes and how. After you have those values we'll want to look at the thermal effect of pouring out that urine. Clearly, the body will lose all the heat energy in that fluid. How much heat is actually held in the fluid? It would need to be significantly less than the amount of energy required to hold the fluid at a constant temperature. Granted, the body is a far more complex system, but I think we can start with a simple model. Looking forward to see your analysis.

[@mattleathen445]

@@aredheadisdead molecular vibrations do not inherently lose energy. Molecules do not have a resistance to vibration that leads to energy loss. Even if they we’re losing energy, they would be losing energy to the surrounding area, which is the rest of the body. So that ‘energy loss’ would be helping to heat up the other parts of your body. Signed, a chemist.

[@SrslyFkt]

@@aredheadisdead what a silly comment. I always pee right before bed because I don’t want to get up and get cold going to pee at night. Sometimes I have to anyway. Such is my bladder 🤷🏼‍♂️. But the idea that your body is using extra energy to heat urine in your bladder is ridiculous. Your body already put the work in to heat it. You lose all of that caloric investment when you expel that 98° fluid. A larger thermal mass retains heat more effectively so more mass in your body just retains more heat.

[@TryingTheHardHikeATAdrieWashne]

From experience, having to pee during the night does seem to make me colder…plus I have to pee. Just do it before Bed!

[@timkunk3498]

I still don't like mesh tents in winter. All they do is let the heat out.

Sorry man just felt like I was watching a commercial the whole time

[@lillypod1337]

There are many more ways to make this much less unpleasant...lol. If I'd have to winter camp like this, I'd be pretty darn miserable. Been cold weather camping (fall through winter to spring) since 2004. You left out a whole bunch of important things to not die from hypothermia, kidney failure and sepsis.
