Humans are 60% water, so the thought of freezing into a waxy icicle may lead you to conclude that winter camping is insane. Now to be fair it can<\/em> be insane\u2014like the first time we camped with one thin sleeping bag stuffed inside another, squatting in the snow thawing cans of tuna. At -23C (-10F). That sucked, but it didn\u2019t have to. Staying warm and comfortable in the cold depends on two complementary factors: the ability to prevent heat loss, and the ability to generate warmth. Master these and you\u2019ll enjoy winter, not hypothermia.<\/p>\n

There are five mechanisms of heat loss: conduction, convection, evaporation, radiation and respiration. Controlling these is critical to your comfort. Choosing a sheltered site, wearing the right stuff and keeping it dry, as well as having a warm sleeping system can make the difference between a deep freeze and a cozy nest.<\/p>\n

But even if your shelter and insulation are excellent, you\u2019ll need to generate heat to stay comfortable. While heat can come from external sources such as chemical heat packs or portable heaters, the best way to produce heat is to engage your body\u2019s own furnace: your metabolism. So go ahead, stuff yourself like you\u2019re at some Vegas buffet. Despite your New Year\u2019s resolutions, this IS the time to cheat on that low sugar, low fat, low taste diet.<\/p>\n

Winter camping offers the ultimate in solitude and peace. The views are outstanding, the air clean and crisp. To help you enjoy these pleasures, check out our\u00a0field guide for practical tips on\u00a0staying warm.<\/p>\n
