She’s not lying it gets cold at night in the desert! Great presentation!👍

[@VGrillone]

Great instruction. I lived on my boat during the winter in the Great Salt Lake. One night the power cut out. It was about 25 degrees. I layered up big time. Kept warm despite the cold! 👍🏻

[@NewHampshireJack]

Excellent information and demonstration. Here in the tropics, we do high temperatures to deal with, and often high humidity. Unless you hang out under a mango or clump of banana trees, you will bake and sweat at the same time. Eleven years in and I have still not fully acclimated.

Someone who understands the frustration. Been in far north Queensland, Australia, for 14 years and I still just die without an airconditioner during summer.

Great presentation by a charismatic demonstrator. (Just check your "square knot", which was a granny.)

Kirsten is such an absolutely PHENOMENAL woman. She's the very definition of one of a kind. I'd watch paint dry if she was talking about it.....

[@jotade2098]

Mors Kochanski used to say that a properly used scarf equates to a full body thermal layer in the cold. I carry a thin cotton big scarf in the hot daytime too, very versatile for sun and dust protection and retaining moisture. Great video.

She has such pleasant way of talking

What a very knowledgeable and lovely young lady; makes a gracious and useful presentation!

[@theroller5673]

I loved the ending with the blanket. Hadn't thought about carrying gear like that. Also with 35+ years in upper Midwest, outdoor construction I have found zippers much better than buttons for outer layer. Wind is usually the enemy. Dress as warm as you want, but if that wind finds its way in, all of the clothes don't matter. Thoughts?

[@DennisBrislawn]

Great presentation. I have been colder in various deserts than in subarctic! You need to have layers to take them off when not needed... Fresh socks? Right on.

[@jeffhowell3310]

Great layering video

Thank you!

Night time clothing presentation does not look silly. I’m reminded of how people in many parts of the world dress, gypsies, nomads, etc

[@guillermoraya4967]

I like the combination of the blue jacket & cloth sweater....

Sound advice wool is a natural thermostat. Here in the mountains in the UK in the winter I teach people to put one layer up one layer down,we call it the drainpipe effect.

[@ryanmay1298]

What do you mean by one layer up one layer down?

[@jamiebixby6782]

@@ryanmay1298 so that every layer interlocks with adjacent layers alternately wherever they meet.

[@ryanmay1298]

@@jamiebixby6782thanks just wanted to be sure, where in the mountains of the UK do you teach?

[@jamiebixby6782]

@@ryanmay1298 the logic behind “drainpiping’ is that the outermost layer is downward to shed water and by loosening the hem of your outer top layer and opening it at the neck you can lose hot air from the neck area which will draw cold air up from the loosened hem to cool you. Meanwhile the interlocking layers will prevent ingress of rain or spindrift snow.

[@ryanmay1298]

@@jamiebixby6782 that sounds amazing. I just got back from the Lake District but didn't attempt any peaks or really any trails. Is there a way I can get in contact with you? I'd like to learn more about mountaineering etc

Never travel without your stillsuit

[@dfsfsdfd]

For poor people here's how I've dressed for winter in Michigan on the farm since I was a kid: -socks -another layer of socks -sweats tucked into between those two layers of socks -tshirt tucked into the sweats -jeans over the sweats -another tshirt tucked into the jeans -hoody -coat -boots preferred, tennis shoes many times and careful where you step In the really cold times when it gets way below zero tuck the jeans into the second pair of socks too and tuck in your sweatshirt, looks dumb but probably won't die if you don't stop moving. edit - gloves are usually Jersey inside the cheap mass-produced yellow or green cloth gloves that look like mickey mousers, does not withstand water. Hat is beanie.

[@tystavenau6789]

Not a fan of putting a Down Jacket on and then tucking it in which smashes the down in that area so no loft can occur, also don't like smothering it with layers like wool sweaters or thick wool shirts. Compresses the down too much and defeats the purpose of loft in a Down Jacket. A Windshell over a Down Jacket is recommended. Using natural materials is one thing but ignoring technology and lightweight clothing components is just not wise. There can be a blend of the two to make a better system.

You shoulda started with no layers and then built up

[@robertwood6297]

Dressed like that you will never know the joys of motherhood

[@P.Hightower]

The title of this video is incredibly misleading.

[@samshepperrd]

Seems kind of ironic showing how to bundle up on a video with a desert southwest theme. The visual impression is of how peasant women in undeveloped countries dress.

[@pennyghostpennyghost7000]

The desert is freezing at night. In the southwest there can be a 60F(30C) temperature difference in the same 24 hour period. Die of heat in the day, freeze at night. No joke.

[@samshepperrd]

@@pennyghostpennyghost7000 I understand. I guess it depends on where the desert is - Southern Arizona or Northern Nevada. Also depends a lot on altitude. But even then, the lady looks like she's bundled up for the Yukon in the dead of winter. All said, I found it very informative regarding dressing for the cold. I'd like to see a male version of this video. There could be some differences, but I got a lot from this video. About the best I've seen on this subject.

The US Southwest desert in winter is BRUTAL. Some of the most severe conditions I’ve experienced were during training at Ft. Bliss, MacGregor Range, White Sands…2 feet of snow, single digit temps, super dry, instant frostbite…brutal!
