I am homeless in New England for the first time. I am currently living in a tent in the woods and we are a week away from December. It's already dropping to the teens at night and winter hasn't even hit yet. A lot of these tips should be common sense but yet I did learn some new things from this video. Thank You for your info

This about chemical warmers. When I hand them out to the homeless I also give them a small ziplock bag. The warmers work when exposed to oxygen. After use for, let’s say an hour, put them in the ziplock bag, squeeze out the air and seal the bag. The warm ‘chemical’ reaction will stop but will reactivate when exposed to oxygen again. They can last for several days that way.

Very good video. The only thing you omitted… which would apply at ANY temperatures… DO NOT PITCH YOUR TENT UNDER OR NEAR MATURE TREES! This is the most common mistake I see many of the so called “experts” make when making a camp. One only needs to google “tree falls on campers” to see how often people are killed or injured making this mistake. Wind, ice, and snow accumulation can and often does send large limbs or entire trees crashing down on campers.

Most of my winter camping has been either in the open or in lean-to or brush shelter, tree hole, quinzee, igloo, drift dugout, sometimes in tent. Yet in all that time (maybe 30 years?) having a tree fall on me never once crossed my mind! Just lucky? As the old song says, "Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry--If a tree don't fall on me, I'll live 'til I die."

Trees in northern Scandinavia are like the trees most people are used too. They not as tall as you're likely to find in say the Continental US or Central Europe. The environment in Artic regions is quite a bit different. Personally, I would want to avoid camping in the open; especially in windy conditions.

Just to add to the points about getting warm before bed… your body will need to burn lots of calories to keep itself warm during the night. I usually have a warm meal and cup of tea before bed or something high in calories at least. Turns my body into an oven and it’s a great excuse to eat a Snickers at midnight!

Hello from Alaska, Stina. Great advice. Learned that last tip the hard way. Two of us, plus my little dachshund who nestled inside the foot of the sleeping bag, spent a -40 below F night in the Wrangell mountain area. The bags were warm, we had good pads, with just our faces feeling cold during the night. But when we awoke, there were stalactites of frost hanging down from the tent ceiling above us. As soon as we attempted to get up, the hoarfrost crystals rained down on us, and all over our bags. What a mess. 😹

Completely agree with all of your tips! The last tip you shared about tent ventilation is super hard for beginners to understand - I see people all over social media improperly state that 4 season tent "X" will keep you warmer because it has a solid inner tent. I wish more people understood that tents are designed to keep you dry, but not necessarily warm. That's what a cozy down sleeping bag is for! Keep those vents open in the winter!

I teach cold weather camping and your video has great tips. An additional tip is to not go to sleep hungry, we need fuel to warm our body, and I question wearing a wet layer on top of a dry layer. The wet clothing worn inside a sleeping bag adds moisture inside the bag reducing the insulation properties of the sleeping bag and making your dry clothing damp. This needs to be avoided similar to not breathing in the sleeping bag.

Enjoyed the tips that you have shared. I have done some winter camping in Ontario, Canada. One thing I like to do is set a large stone near the fire to get it nice and warm. I wrap it in two towels and put it in my sleeping bag. I sleep on my back with the rock under my knees. If it feels like the rock is getting cold, I take one of the towels off. What is nice is that the rock remains warm all night. I have never been cold.

Rocks can explode if they have water in them and you put them on the fire. Avoid porous rocks or rocks from stream beds and such (which are tempting as they're rounder). If a rock on the fire explodes it sends rock shards and burning embers everywhere.

The water bottle in a sock is a great tip as you also get unfrozen water in the morning. At night I use a really lightweight balaclava to keep my head warm, I find a hat slips off too easily. Also a cheap foil mat on the floor helps stop the cold ground draining any warmth away when sitting in the tent.

For a condensation barrier I prefer the Rumpl stashmat or Nemo Victory blanket which fits most 2P tents perfectly. The larger Nemo blanket is great for 3P tents. The Rumpl is more packable. If you’re sledding, synthetic quilts make great carpets. The idea here, as our host stated, is to stop ground condensation from wetting out your sleeping mat.

Wear a pair of over sized wool socks at night. Also the clothes I sleep in are not worn at any other time. I want them bone dry, and no food smell as I camp in bear country. A Alpaca or Wool beanie are great to keep warm. At night I also use a wool baklava as my beanie slips off, when I toss and turn.

I have done some backpacking camping in the winter when there was ice and snow covering the ground and the temp was well below zero F. One thing I always did was test my equipment with a car camping trip first. That way if something was didn't work out I could beat a hasty retreat to the car if I needed to. Overnight car camping trips let me know what worked and what didn't and what I might need to do to improve my equipment and my preparations before I actually went out on the trail for several days. That is my #1 tip. The things you reviewed in this video are things that I had to learn from experience and I agree with everything you said. Plus, I always carried a candle lantern with me to use in the tent. The Pink Lady candles would burn most of the way through the long winter nights. They would knock a lot of the sharp chill out of the air and keep the frost from forming on the tent walls while they were burning. Also, I would take my boots off and put them under the foot of my sleeping bag to keep them from freezing and put on a fresh pair of wool socks to sleep in. I hate trying to put on a pair of frozen leather boots in the morning. I kept everything in the same place in my backpack all the time. I never had to wonder where this was or that was. I knew where it was and could got right to it in the dark. I preferred a fiberfill sleeping bag if I was going to be on the train more than two nights. Although heavier and bulkier the fiberfill wouldn't absorb incipient body moisture as much as down would. The down would lose some of its loft and warm insulating value. The fiberfill maintain loft better on an extended trip

It is better to add any extra insulation underneath you rather than on top because the thermal capacity of the ground is much higher and any heat is drawn quicker down into the ground than into the air. Besides, in the morning,if you have slept on your jacket it will be warmer than if it was on top of your sleeping bag.

Unless you're like me and have oddly warm feet. I don't wear socks in my bag because they're damp by morning. It might be due to wearing minimal shoes almost all year. I can walk barefoot when it's above 40 degrees when I play with the dogs in the yard after it starts snowing.

I hike in Smokey Mountains sometimes in winter. These are all great suggestions. I would like to add 2 things. If you can do cold water swim acclimatization process in weeks before doing a winter hike , it helps so much. It is a build up process that one can get used to and you will find you simply do not get cold like before. Also, if you ever have a fire in the winter, simply put a few rocks in the fire then carefully place the rocks in your tent for the night, taking care to put them in pot or something so as not damage your tent. They will release heat n help warm your tent.

This can be dangerous as rocks with water trapped inside can explode when the steam pressure builds up when they're on the fire, sending rock flakes and burning embers everywhere. Make sure you don't use rocks from a stream bed or porous rocks.

Another way to deal with moisture from breathing while in the sleeping bag is to wear a wool buff around the neck/face. Then you can breathe through the buff material which is good for prewarming the air you breathe, but the moisture will collect on the buff instead of the sleeping bag. And the buff can be rotated to obtain a dry portion. This is not perfect, however it satisfies that desire to breathe warmer air without displacing it into the sleeping bag. Of course it is still important not to cover your face under the sleeping bag or it will still get wet.

It's a common misconception that the smaller should be inside the bigger one, but as moisture from your body evaporates it will "travel" towards the cold outside and get trapped in the outer most bag regardless of whether this is the small one or the big one. If your outer most bag is your big bag you'll loose a lot more "total insulation" as opposed to if it was the small bag. That's why you should actually have the smaller bag on the outside. Hope my explanation made sense 😅

The example in explaining why you shouldn't get into a sleeping bag while cold makes sense and is a more powerful explanation to /why/ someone shouldn't do that.

I agree and disagree with you. I liked the video I agree that the advices are really great and based on the real experience, but the theoretical explanations of the reasoning behind the advices is a bit misleading in some cases. Your sleeping bag doesn't keep cold inside if you're "cold". Your body is still significantly warmer than outside air (otherwise you're already dead), so the sleeping bag still keeps warmth from escaping, it doesn't keep cold inside. The last doesn't even make a sense from scientific point of view. Any isolation keeps warmth, not cold, from getting to the other side. Warming up before going into the bag is more about making you feel warmth and comfort by getting more blood into the skin that is going to touch very cold fabric of the cold sleeping bag. Also, while keeping even 10% of your warmth is important when it's very cold, our body is not a "thermos flask" and we're loosing warmth more or less proportionally to exposed skin area. There is no scientific proof of the myth about the head being more important than any other body part (regarding how fast we're loosing warmth). Again, from point of view of WHAT to do (and what don't) the video is really great. But if we're talking about "powerful explanation to WHY" then I disagree.

@@avatorl_in_a_hammock The sleeping bag is the thermos representation, not our bodies. I have had a few trips over the years where I had to clock out and hike out in the middle of the night to avoid hypothermia. I can say with certainty on those trips while there were other factors that likely contributed to my failure, I certainly tried to tuck into my sleeping bag while cold, tired, and potentially not well-hydrated. The thermos explanation makes sense and of course is exaggerated for the example, but it helped to click in my brain /why/ it is more valuable to get some body heat built up first before tucking in.

@4:08 "inlet" is also known as a sleeping bag liner. Another advantage of using a liner is that I occasionally wash my (fleece) sleeping bag liners but don't wash the sleeping bag itself (to not crush its loft). A sleeping bag designed for cold weather has a draft tube, which is an additional drawstring inside the hood to cinch the bag around your neck. Getting in and out of the bag is a bit more involved but the draft tube makes the bags much warmer because it holds the heat inside the sleeping bag.

the collar is actually called....a collar, and is inside the bag at the neck and usually has a way to cinch it around your neck.

(I was on the outdoor committees that decide ASTM standards for sleeping bags. sleeping bag liners are liked by some, but frankly, I find they are not worth the weight that they add. I would rather trade that weight for an equal weight more of down. Yes, they keep your bag "cleaner" but that shouldn't really be a problem.

Good comments. I was in charge of design for a couple large outdoor suppliers in USA. I also started another company that was probably the #1 rated company in the US, (which I later sold and is not such anymore) Yeah, sleeping bag ratings are mostly used as trying to be competitive. A 20 Degree bag is not going to allow you to freeze to death at 20 F, but you might well be quite cold. Also, there is a huge difference in people's metabolism. One person might be fine, another freezing. The boiling of water and keeping it in your water bottle is a great tip. Frankly, so few know about this. I boil the water, put it in the water bottle and put the bottle between my legs. By later in the night, the bottle drifts downward (as I'm too warm) to my feet. This will make a cold situation absolutely comfortable. I agree very much about the pads. I use an inflatable, (yeah, Thermorest) AND a sheet or even two of the light weigh closed cell foam. Closed cell foam is best UNDER the thermorest frankly. This is more comfortable than above. And it makes a huge difference. YES, don't wear the socks you wore during the day. Wear DRY socks. As to long johns, yeah, wool is nice. Frankly the best ever was Malden's powerstretch, but they no longer make the original product. The new stuff is nowhere near as good. Yep, wear a hat. Yes, cotton is not the right material to bring in wet and cold places. Good point about the breathing. Yes, the moisture in your breath is very important. Agreed about the ventilation. And in that, try to keep your sleeping bag from touching the sidewalls of the tent. Another good product, in my opinion, was the old Gore, next to skin. Wear a top layer of that, and your core will stay dry. You might not like goretex in the rain, but when you are not moving a lot, not putting out a lot of moisture, Goretex, (PTFE) CAN keep up well with moisture. In addition, Gore works by temperature differential. So closer it is to the skin, the better. Anyway, I've found that when wearing the N2S, your skin is always dry, even if the outside of the fleece is wet. Anyway, Very good comments. I find most such are not very scientific, but this one I think is very correct.

Very good advice. Mistake number 8: Keeping stuff that can freeze outside you sleeping bag. Everything should be inside. That includes wet clothes (in a plastc bag), water filter, water, and certainly all electeonics. Also, prepare the hot water bottle as soon as you get to camp and stick it under your shirt. this will prevent mistake 3 I think it was, because you will be warm when you get in the sleeping bag.

Hypothermia is the enemy number one during Winter. Thanks for excellent suggestions. As a hiker in Finnish Lapland since 1983, I could add my 10 cents. Select carefully the tent placement to avoid excessively windy positions. Before hunkering down, eat something energetic with lots of fat in it. That will keep you warm later in the night as your stomach will start burning the food. I have sometimes become so warm after such a small but energetic meal that I had open up the sleeping bag during the cold night. Usually the coldest hour during the night is around 4 - 5 o'clock. Safe hiking!

Tip 8: At 3:00am, empty the now cold water from the nalgene botle, then pee into the nalgene bottle, then return to the sleeping footbox! 🤩 Tip 9: Don't forget to eat a little bit right before bed. Your body is the radiator (not the sleeping bag) and the heat comes from food! ..... Seriously though, on very cold MULTIDAY trips, how do you keep body vapor from freezing in the outer surface of the sleeping bag? In the US we have been putting synthetic or Alpha Direct 90gsm overbags over the down sleeping bags. That way the water condenses into the synthetic material and the down is spared!

Careful with hot water bottles. When they leak it can be bad. For body vapor you need a vapor barrier. In reality it's a lot better to have a hot tent for multi-day trips so you can dry stuff out.

I really dislike something around my mouth getting wet from my breath. What works for me is a piece of fleece over my head and shoulders (side sleeper) with a “tunnel” about 3 to 5” long. Face on one side of the tunnel, open air on the other. Then I adjust it accordingly to feel like I’m getting enough fresh air while my face gets away from the worst of the cold.

Once you are home, figure out what went wrong, and then take corrective actions for your next winter outing. Winter camping is a skill to be learned just like any other activity. Get out there!

Great video on staying warm and dry in the cold. I did not read through all the comments, so this may have already been covered. In very cold conditions on the Canadian prairie and Canadian arctic environments I was taught to have a nylon bag and place our boots inside the bag (not sealed). This would be placed under our sleeping bag and on top of the insulated mat. The bag would be placed under our knee area. Why? Nothing is worse than waking up to frozen boots that are not flexible enough to be put on your feet. Having the boots under the knee area also kept us from rolling around during the night. The use of down booties with insulated soles are great for those quick trips outside during the long night. Stay dry, stay warm, have fun!

In my experience, a down bag liner works better than fleece or wool. It fills all the dead space in your bag, and provides the optimal warmth for weight and bulk. I have an ultralight summer bag from Cumulus that weighs 200g and does the job very effectively.

Down layering is good. Just keep enough air in the bag to heat up! Constriction is the enemy. You want those blood vessels to open up! This is the number one reason people get cold in mummy bags that are too small for them. If your bag feels like a straight jacket, it is too small unless you are an alpinist dealing with severe space/weight issues in your pack.

@@SuzanneStroh Agreed - but filling the dead space inside the bag seems to give better bang for your buck in terms of warmth-for-weight than the same weight applied to an overbag. Expedition experts PHD Designs have deep-dived into the world of modular systems and this is their recommendation. My 215gm filler bag is half the weight of the Reactor bag liner, and less than double the price. I can tell you from personal experience that it's much more effective.

Use a vapor barrier inliner. People think its like putting a garbage bag inside your sleeping bag but acutally its super comfortable. You wont even notice that its out of a plastic fibre. This way the sleeping bag does not get damp and you can go on for days without having to dry out your sleeping bag. "I use the Cocoon Vapor Barrier Liner Ripstop Nylon Large" its like 40$ and its lighter and smaller than any wool inliner but also helps with a few extra degree. Also as a guy I use a big opening bottle form my local thrift store to pee in. This way I never have to get up in the night. It takes practice tho!

I have read that snow is a good insulator, so alternatively, at night you can bury your water in bottles or pots under at least a foot of snow to keep it from freezing. You can place them into a large bag or stuff sack to keep the snow from freezing on to your water vessel in the morning, but make sure to stake down a few tall markers to remember where exactly you buried it. I'm leaving on my first winter backpacking trip in a few weeks so, to me, this is just theory, but I'll be interested to try when it's -10C. Also, apply vaseline or lip balm on the threads of the bottle cap will keep it from freezing to the bottle.

I wood add that you should avoid drinking too much alcool and eat well before sleeping as alcool will get you colder and food is the fuel for your body to produce eat during the night. I would never use the bottle trick if I'm alone in the cold far from a safe place. Getting your sleep system cold in freezing temperatures is a recipee for disaster. I prefer stucking some heat pads in my cloth. Puting something on your sleeping bag is OK as long as it's light enought that it won't compress it, otherwise it could reduce its efficiency.

Got it, thanks. I have a pair of insulated booties that I wear in the sleeping bag. They are like having sleeping bags for your feet.

Amazing tips! Doing a little work out before we went sleeping on The Kungsleden would have definitely helped when we were there haha. We made the last mistake on ventilation for a long time, that makes such a difference! Great valuable video, thanks!

I don't winter camp (yet), but one thing that always makes me colder at night when camping or at home is if I have to pee. Sometimes I'm so tired/lazy/cold that I refuse to leave my sleeping bag (or bed) to pee...be it outside or in a pee bottle. Even though I KNOW that I'll be warmer if I just get up and go to the bathroom. Then, when I finally go -usually after several stubborn hours- I instantly feel sooooo much warmer. Would love to see a video about going to the bathroom during winter camping. How do you dig a proper cat hole in snow? Or do you use wag bags in your tent? Tips to keep you tushy (and labia) warm while going to the bathroom. Et cetera.

Thanks for the video. A few more comments if I may. You've mentioned wearing lots of layers inside sleeping bag. Personally I sleep much warmer with only base layer. It can be anything from Thermasilk to 260 merino wool, plus socks, gloves, neck gaiter or balaclava and hat, depending on a bag and outside temps. My understanding is that my body heat needs to warm up the bag insulation to stay warm, wearing additional layers effectively decreases bag insulation capabilities. In extreme cold I also use synthetic quilt on top of my down bag. It makes sleep system warmer and importantly moves condensation from down bag to the quilt. Also very important to have good high calories meal before going to sleep to give my body fuel to stay warm till morning. Be safe.

Insulation is insulation, regardless of whether it's from your clothes, the bag, or an external quilt. The difference you're feeling is that you need some space to move around in the bag. If you are too constricted, A) you don't get circulation and B) there's not enough air pockets. Air is what provides the insulation. If you have lots of layers of whatever but it's all compressed together, you'll feel the cold. The key is a loose but not oversized.

I always sleep naked even when hiking or camping. I use a sleeping bag liner or inlet to keep the bag clean but never wear clothes. Unless it's getting down to very extreme low temps when i need to wear merino wool inside the sleeping bag.

I like to munch on pre-cooked bacon strips throughout the night. That keeps my digestive system producing heat + bacon is good anytime, anywhere. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

agreed on sleeping in base layer. It can be needed though. But note that Stina said not sleeping in non-ventilating, non-breathable clothing. That, makes the bag really cold.
