NEXT LEVEL Cold Weather Layering to STAY WARM Winter Camping

[@hamiltonharper]

Justin in his element. Nice.

*Justin his element

[@hamiltonharper]

@@alemieux3542 I see what you did there

[@CrossoverGenius]

from the desert: thanks for this. a lot of people assume layering is common knowledge, but it isn’t when you’re used to heat. super helpful!

[@veetour]

Respect for you wearing just your base layer in the freezing temperature.

[@musingwithreba9667]

Decathlon really has some good base layers for winter trips!

[@Scotty674]

Been looking for these types of videos. Thank you

[@CustCareRep]

One good-looking socked foot 6:16 Nice. Thanks for the sweaty feet/socks tips. Superb presentation skills and background scenery.

[@Donkeyspong123Kennedy]

[@jkubuz]

Thank you, this is essential info.

[@timreimer1286]

Hi Justin great video. Thanks. Which boots are you using for snow shoeing, skiing ?

[@ChaseMountains]

Where did you buy that invisible tent bro 😂

[@donniebel]

I’m one who sweats more than most do. So base layer choice is critical for me. You pointed out the problem with Merino- it holds about 30% moisture and once saturated it does not readily dry. I’ve found a Merino/synthetic blend to be better suited in this regard. The fastest moisture transfer base layer I’ve found is the Brenja (a Norwegian company) “fishnet” base layer. Nothing else I’ve tried comes close. This past year I trained all winter for a trek in Iceland. I got an Alpaca mid layer hoodie and I have to say Alpaca is the real deal: Warmer than Merino, only holds 10% moisture and dries faster. Worked so well for me, I left my puffy coat at home and was very comfortable. Obviously, not sufficient for the weather depicted in this video (it would be my go to mid layer). Downside to Alpaca is it is quite expensive compared to synthetics but it functions better for my high sweat needs when active. Having once traveled to the Arctic in winter, the info in this video is spot on.

[@lasertorsk9161]

Brynje* :) netting baselayer is by far the best functionally, but pure merino is slightly more comfortable assuming you stay wet/dry.

[@nicolasmusiat3545]

i totely agree! i use aclima woolnet for my baselayer. and aclima hotwool on top! its kicks ass

[@crankskinatra6038]

As a super sweaty guy who does bjj I wear a rash guard as my base layer, nothing is better for displacing moisture for me and they dry faster than anything

[@thewildblake622]

Great Video! Can you make a video on snow/cold footware for hiking?

[@Sabbathissaturday]

I just prefer warmer weather!! It’s going to be 8 degrees in my part of Texas on Friday or colder! We are not equipped for that. My poor pipes.

[@emeline894]

Great video and valuable tips!

[@IPv6Freely]

Another banger of a video, Justin. For my socks I'll often hike in one pair, put on another pair as soon as I get to camp, and then I actually use a 3rd pair that is thicker and taller, just for sleeping in. The next day for the hike back out I put on socks #2 that should be minimally damp still but are just going to get wet with sweat as I hike out anyway. If I kept them in my sleeping bag overnight they're likely to be pretty close to dry by the next morning, though.

[@OutsideChronicles]

Great approach. I am going to have to check out the Decathlon gear.

[@TrekkingPackingGear]

Damn I am so jealous of the weather you got already!

[@hot_guy997]

a lot of outer layers like my ski jacket does have insulation. It’s made to be both warm and protect you from the elements. In fact it’s warmer than all of my mid layers.

[@lilianlee535]

I don't want to wear bulky in winter so I just bought an Arris heated jacket. It keeps me warm when I work outside. Very usefuly.

[@chrisharder4854]

I'm very impressed with the way you presented all the gear..I subscribed immediately 👍😉

[@teekaytrailers2270]

Quality video and nice editing Justin! I carry two base layers myself, my layer for hiking, and then I wear my merino base layer once I get to camp.

[@MrLabradorwildman]

Great Video Justin!

[@mikeghost7788]

Bring on the winter videos lol

[@billb5732]

Vid Idea: Decathlon is great, but the US site often doesn't have the good stuff, and the .ca and .uk sites don't ship to the US. Shipping forwarders might work, but I don't know how to choose a good one. Do you have any suggestions for us?

[@v.dafool8603]

I have under shirt, thermal, black sweatshirt, denali fleece paired with mountain jacket and still colddd

[@charlesjaeckels]

Where did you get the gray fleece mid layer?

[@RyanLitwiller86]

Hey Justin, enjoy your videos. A topic I've been curious about that I haven't seen much mention of is alpaca vs wool.

[@RAMtrails]

Love that tent! Review inbound?

[@michaelfrymus]

So, instead of Merino Base Layers when being active, what do you choose? Obviously a synthetic, but what? Personally, I hate polyester. I have an Icebreaker Merino Base Layer, but I find its too thick and I feel wet cold spots. When I stop being active, I can feel that it helps repell the sweat better, but its probably because its too thick (260). So Im considering a thinner version, or your opinion for an alternative?

[@noelsworldtraveldiscovery]

Im watching. 💚🌍

[@magicworldbyjorg]

...cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…

[@maxwright5926]

Hey Justin, I just found your channel and I'm loving your videos! What are your tips for condensation management inside your tent during winter conditions? Thanks!

[@kg-Whatthehelliseventhat]

Thank you for the information. what would you suggest for bedding? I layer a small blanket on my body, followed by a fluffy blanket then a wool blanket on top. I find it heavy. Any thoughts?

[@jonathanhoover5607]

I would trust this guy over others since he lives in the cold verse someone who lives in the desert

[@DrofJustice]

My gosh! I’m just imagining how to put all these in a pack!! Do you need a larger volume pack for winter? These clothes add some weight but not a ton, it’s the volume that seems insane, as you don’t hike with all the layers and use a different base layer at camp. 😮

[@musingwithreba9667]

definitely need a larger pack for winter trips! Clothing layers and sleep system are more bulky typically

[@shawnr6117]

I believe his go-to winter pack is a 70 l , he did a video on it before, so unless he's decided to change things that should still be relevant

[@jays7318]

Thanks Justin. Di you ever try vapour barrier socks? I noticed that the Decathlon over-mitts are not breathable. Do you find that to be a problem sometimes?

[@Modo.Aventura]

Great video bro

[@sairajmandavkar6996]

Hello brother love from India 🇮🇳

[@trytheoutdoors]

Super

[@manuelilic9195]

Cheapest way is to stay at home! 😂 Just kidding; thank you for your content! I´ve spend a lot of money for outdoor clothes and items. Recently, I bought a Isolation Jacket from Orthovox which is filled with swiss merino whool from a black sheep. Although it is thin, it keeps you realy warm but it is also expensive! I have also to try different variations for the layers; just bought a merino shirt and a long sleeve shirt to have some variations. My fleece jacket (Montura) should handle moisture better and it is breathable but it is made for hikers, who are alone because it smells terrible after it´s soaked with sweat.

[@michaelfrymus]

I see that youre from Alberta. Same heeeree :)

[@december12ist]

ya'll talk about light weight being the best. I think that makes for a wimpy hiker.

[@alexcote8811]

Meanwhile - 18 degrees in Toronto haha, hoping for some snow soon.

[@BluStarGalaxy]

Great video. Love the channel!

[@bosco2352]

GYATTTT

[@d.2110]

For people who don't like animal cruelty so don't use wool: bamboo is a very good fabric with similar characteristics as wool and it's super soft as well. Also nice as pajamas.

[@serikimanchayev665]

👍❤️😍

[@Redsr5]

Do you live in creston by chance ? I swear I seen you at a gym yesterday but it might have been a lookalike lol

[@FrankO-ek1ec]

Looks like you been hitting the gym .

[@Donkeyspong123Kennedy]

U want proper survival gear buy 5mm neoprene survival suit and gore tex military cover alls are pretty cheap actually,vivor ice fishing tent 4 man 150 bucks or so

[@hikerJohn]

I have a few problems with Decathlon . . .sizes are all WAY too small and once they have your email they flood you with spam emails and do not ever unsubscribe you, you end up having to block their emails. And if you decide to buy one of these sweaters anyway, they are out of all of them in M, L and XL (all the relevant sizes) It even says "This product runs small" on their web page but but it's ridiculous just HOW much smaller than the stated size. You should go two or THREE sizes up to be safe so if you are a large they do have 2XL tru 4XL. The actual sweater I bi=ought seemed to be quite good but I gave it away.

Thanks a ton for not perpetuating the myth of merino baselayers for high intensity activities!!! The BS about "merino being warm when wet" has ruined way too many people's trips and outings. Yes, it's nice until it accumulates about 30 % of its own weight in water -- then it's even worse than cotton. As other people suggested, merino-synth mixes are the hit on the nail head.

[@WHBJr]

2 changes of socks

[@alexander7369]

layering isn't cheap to say the least lol...😅

[@scottyplug]

Wish we had just a couple of seconds to finish the video and THEN click on your other one in the corner.

[@jaytabac6525]

Hi Justin, Sorry to have to communicate this message to you. I received a very professional and believable message from you that i won an emergency camping gear package valued at $7600.00. They used your youtube handle and picture as well. In the end they wanted me to pay $150 in shipping and probably fraud my payment info. I fear that this activity will continue and wanted to let you know. Feel free to get back to me if you want me to share or forward the fraudulent message. J

[@AnOldGuy164]

Water vapor should be visible. I guess fake videos don't instill confidence or trust.
