Cold Weather Camping Tips

[@jefferyneedham1581]

I'm sitting here in Michigan with my hat on and wrapped up in my blanket watching these videos on camping and ran across your video which is very informative but also entertaining.. Cold weather camping is amazing and a must try if you've never done it before.. God bless and thank you

[@alexandrafalbo4062]

I know this is an ad but I actually really enjoyed this and found it really informative. The presenter is also really clear and nice.

[@virginianalangan6786]

Thank you.

[@wagner9050]

You state it Better than me!

[@jaquelinevalenzuela7031]

I concur

[@senecan100]

Ikr, it's not obnoxiously loud or intrusive at all, I originally thought it was a video lol. Why can't all ads be like this 👍

[@mikee.5158]

She’s adorable

[@mlongtube]

Good video. One addition. I camped last weekend. Small tent, but I laid a towel over the vent then put on the fly. Drastically cut down on warm air loss while allowing some ventilation. Stopped the wind. It works. You can even add a cheap, thin tarp under the towel. I’ve never had a problem with moisture as I always unzip a window an inch. Go camping!!!

[@franny5295]

I feel very stupid that it didn't occur to me to simply unzip the top of the window. I have the big agnus bunk house 6 man tent and the big gripe with this tent is there are no vents. But there are huge vestibules on both doors. That's an easy fix...

[@justindickey2100]

I used to fish a lot at night. I would heat stones by the fire and then put them in my pockets. Bigger the stone the longer it stays warm. Don't use flint

Reply, Winter camping, our cub scout master, " Sal", he took our webeloes den of elementary School boys to January Winter camping at Suffolk Counties North Shore.The coolness he felt would help us appreciate the glory of camping in winter.A hot rock was too hot in the sleeping bag, it burned a hole thru it being too hot ! Your hot water bottle is a safer solution No one was hurt by the hot rock misadventure.Though the boys figuratively were rumphled in spirit.Decades later or Webelos leader, Sal he passed away in his late 70's. His teachings to Cubs about Winter camping, fondly remembered.( Sal Murano,Sebastian Murano) formerly he of Levittown,my and later Sebastian,Florida USA.

😂😂 That's hilarious, but you should go camping! It's super fun if you bring friends that you love spending time with. And all food tastes AMAZING from the campfire.

I prefer sleeping in minimal layers when winter camping. I tend to sweat in my sleep if I’m wearing more than a base layer. Makes for a miserable next day if I don’t have dry clothes to change into.

[@dhanraj7523]

Public comment. Wonderful job helping humanity show they everything they need to know to enjoy life. Thank you so much.

[@ixchelssong]

I've only really-cold-camped once. I checked maybe half of these points, so I didn't die, but I wasn't especially warm in the night either. I had the weirdest dreams of my life on the coldest (first) night! If I ever camp in conditions like that again, I'll be much better prepared! 😁

[@xoxoxoxoxo7997]

Oh my gosh, she is so great! Make more videos with her, loved the camping hacks!

[@marlah8159]

Ok she is the best- we need more from her! :)

[@intermodus2180]

Wow, do I disagree. Itm, don't wrap yourself in an polyester blanket next to an open fvre. 🔥🦊🚬I dare you to heart that.

[@KatJaguar1122]

To add to that, add a bivy bag/emergency blanket around your sleeping bag, Also, I personally found that consuming lots of animal fat helps the body with fuel for staying warm. And be sure to wear a neck warmer in addition to head cover.

[@CeeCeeGee313]

So doggone adorbs you are!

[@nancyst.john-smith3891]

We snow camped in Alaska many times over 30 years while living there. We wore balaclavas to keep our faces warm. I also cut and taped Reflectix (Mylar coated bubble wrap insulation) for our tent floor footprint. That went under our pads. Air mattresses are super cold, as she said. Using foam and blankets between you and your air mattress is helpful. If it’s super cold I would consider a Mylar emergency blanket on top of the air mattress, then foam, then a blanket. I also made water bottle cozies using Reflectix and duct tape. It kept the water from freezing overnight. Have a high calorie, high fat snack before bed to help you make energy to stay warm. Wool and synthetics keep you warm when wet. “Cotton kills” was the byline in Alaska. Any moisture and cotton acts as a swamp cooler keeping the cold next to your skin. Down doesn’t keep you warm when wet either. So if you have a down bag, make sure to turn it inside out and let your accumulated body moisture dry out during the day. If it’s super cold you can let it freeze inside out then shake off the ice.

[@sciencenotstigma9534]

Thanks! Great to know. ❤

[@janetmartinez3948]

THANKS FROM NORTH CAROLINA 💛

[@justinhackstadt6677]

Yep. None of these people have even tried using an air mattress in freezing temperatures. If they think an air mattress is going to be nice and pliable to inflate they got another thing comin. 😆 🤣

[@cenavisch8888]

Wow!!!!!! 😳 Thank you for sharing

[@nancyst.john-smith3891]

Also take a pee bottle or a coffee can in the tent so you can empty your bladder when nature calls. A full bladder robs your body of the heat that it takes to keep it warm as long as you hold it. Go as soon as you have the urge so you can use the calories to keep yourself warm.

[@KristanShuford]

The rating on the sleeping bag means it will keep you alive at that temp, not warm. I learned that lesson the hard way. We love to bring our big wool blanket with us, fold it in half and sandwich our sleeping pads inside them. Helps insulate and stops them from sliding around throughout the night. And for sitting around the campfire before bed, I highly recommend bringing a snuggly doggo to sit in your lap and keep you warn.

[@mfendel8461]

I actually really loved her more than the info in the ad! She’s great , make more videos!!! 😁

[@fiftyfive70]

So fun. More videos with this lady. She had me cracking up. I've never heard that smaller tent trick. Great tips!

[@dalyjolly5891]

Mackenzie is amazing!

[@michaelboyle9512]

I do appreciate videos like these. Every winter I include watching prep videos as part of shtf and I'm stuck in a remote area to survive. I include non perishable food like boxes of packs of tuna or homeeee made beef jerky that's been cured and prepped for an unfortunate winter "oh shit" situation.

[@erwinrivera1792]

Thank’s for the out door tips👍🙏🙏

[@catherineeng186]

I recently slept outside to raise money for the Covenant House which provides housing and services to youth experiencing homelessness. I was in my 30F bag with my sleeping bag and lots of layers and it was so hard to stay asleep through the night. Just a reminder that we are so lucky to have these camping privileges but many do not! If you see this, donate to your local homeless shelter to help keep someone housed this holiday season. :-)

[@AnMarie711]

This lady is great. She makes me laugh and provides good info

[@toetotoe7803]

I love ll bean. They just have a place in my heart. I know it's just cotton but my grandfather wore LLBean alot and it just maks me Happy

[@lawsonpriestley9155]

The temp on a bag is what it will keep you alive not warm it’s good to have another way to stay warm poncho liners work well and there’s some other great things as well ti double up in the bag also want to sleep in the most minimal amount of clothing since your body radiates heat so if you put on a million layers your bag won’t warm up right and putting a warm bottle is a bad idea since it will sweat and cause moisture in the bag it’s also great to leave your clothes and other items you will have on you in the base of the bag to keep them warm as well

[@aaron5785]

Heated jackets come in handy during cold weather camping also!

[@mrdark9916]

Mackenzie ❤ great video and vibes!!

[@brentbryson215]

Great little ad. My 3 main tricks for staying warm (in addition to what McKenzie says): 1) loose-fitting smart wool socks; 2) 2 disposal handwarmers. I throw one down by my feet, and one on my upper body. Must not let touch skin directly, but those really help-especially the foot one. 3) If I’m car camping, a Buddy heater.

[@nofascists]

Yeah, that buddy heater in the tent works really good if you want to die in your sleep from c.o. poisoning. NOT!

[@c50ge]

I use a jar filled with hot water in my bed under the blankets to warm my feet. Works great!

[@prilep5]

No worries in couple a decades people will by chiller blankets

[@mawage666]

I bought what said 11 person tent 7' tall and sets up in 90 seconds just for myself lol. Plus my 22" tall queen size air mattress. Never had a problem.

[@sciencenotstigma9534]

Great plan!

[@MeAndMyRoyalEnfield]

Thanks for the tips. It's 40, windy & rainy. I used the hot water bottle trick for toasty toes. My sleeping bag liner was over a year old (I've been full time traveling for over a year) and just ordered a new one. The exact one you show. So tonight I'm wrapped up in two liners. Next step is a new sleeping bag. Something you didn't mention that I always have are Smart Wool socks for cold nights. Not to be fresh, you look like you would be fun to camp with, but I don't know about the dance moves, definitely in for the some mores though. Fun video and adding it to my playlist.

I live in a tent that is based upon a pallet base in my backyard. I have an extension cord and a little space heater to use when it gets to cold. I wrapped the inner layer of the tent in Mylar emergency sleeping bags . I’ve been sleeping in it for 14 months and I don’t think I am go back to living in a house as well.

[@tysonatkins2236]

And never leave a cooler full of food outside. Last time I was camping just south of Yosemite, and left the cooler on the picnic table. I woke up the next morning to find that a bear had knocked the cooler down, and helped itself to a pound of butter, and a pound of bacon! Something spooked the bear, and it ran through the campsites, with the only casualty (besides the food) was our neighbor's lawn chair, that looked like it was run over by a truck!

I used to put on a sweatshirt with my face through the neck, then tie the sleeves under my chin. This made a hat that also covered my neck and shoulders. A quick "hat" when you're trying to sleep.

[@TheCotton81]

First time I watched an advertisement type video. She was great 😅

[@traceyevans2757]

Should’ve mentioned comfort rating vs survival rating of sleeping bags.

[@SoulDevoured]

She basically did without saying it. The "colder rated bag than the actual temperature" part was basically referring to that.

[@XitSt4geLeft]

I grew up camping in a colder environment. I made the mistake of trusting that my husband understood we were going camping (our first camping trip together) in a cold environment when he offered to pack the sleeping gear. We get there only to discover he didn’t own a sleeping bag, as I had assumed and he only brought our typical blanket from the house. It was far too cold for that mess and we ended up sleeping in our car having to intermittently wake up, run the car for maybe ten minutes to warm it up, then turn it off again. What a mess! Now we have really great cold rated sleeping bags and even our air up mattress (super comfy despite not being super thick) has the coldest rating available for a sleep mattress. Definitely not making that mistake again 🤣

[@arleneagapitovibar9690]

Enjoy ❤❤❤

[@dragonfirefunctionalfitnes7925]

Yeah, the dancing...🤣 Get it gurl! Nice vid. 🎯

[@user-rk2rl4ng1m]

Absolutely never sleep in layers sleep naked or as close to as possible in a good sleeping bag, put tomorrow's clothes under your bag you will be colder the next morning if you sleep in your clothes. Layer your sleep system. Always have clean dry socks and extra clean dry socks. If you have a significant other even better two naked or mostly naked bodies in one bag is gonna be warmer and is the recommended way to warm someone up close to hypothermia if other methods are unavailable.

[@easygoer1234]

This was pretty cool. She should do lots of vids.

[@nofascists]

Layered clothing. Don't over exert to the point of sweating. Remove layers as necessary to prevent sweating. Wear long underwear to bed including cotton and wool socks. Bag should have hood and drawstring.. The most important thing is a sleeping bag rated warmer than expected air temps. Critical! Unlace your boots and open up wide before bed so you can get your feet back into them in the morning when temps are below freezing. Condensation in them will freeze them overnight otherwise and may be difficult to get your feet into them in the morning.

The best way to really stay warm is to purchase and wear a tight spandex or undergarment and long-sleeved shirt, the tighter the better, and a snow hat and some socks that are for wintertime.
