* Heat loss
happens when hot body in contact with cold objects. People lose huge amounts of body heat when you are sitting on a rock, wearing wet clothing or standing in the cold wind. In addition to trying to wear clothes that protect skin from the elements, completely out of refuge from the weather is sometimes the only way to stay warm.
* Avoid wearing cotton as it starts to rain and you have to cross a stream. Cotton absorbs water, drainage, heat from a hot body. Polyester fleece, down jackets and outerwear keeps a bubble of warmth on the skin waterproof. Also avoid wearing cotton gloves to bed, because it tends to be wet and sticky with sweat. Try to wear long pants instead of polyester.
* When hiking in cold weather, avoid wearing out, too many levels, excessive sweating. Once you stop moving, turn on cold and wet clothes, you will begin to shake. Strip to avoid the upper layers, sweating in cold weather.

* Protect your energy. Not only does the body need energy to keep moving, but it also needs more fuel to generate additional heat in winter. Eating more calories than you might think and need to drink a lot, so it is well supplied with moisture.
* Setting the field where the soil provides natural protection. For example, the valleys are cooler, but the surrounding hills as a barrier to the wind. Camping on the beach as exciting, but a forest canopy is a shield from the rain.
* Keep your sleeping bag
dry as possible. This means providing a cushion of air or foam mattress on a cushion of air between him and the cold ground. If you are really rough, with dry grass or leaves to provide an extra layer of insulation.
* You can enjoy hot drinks before bed to help the body to warm the sleeping bag. Better yet, with boiling water in a water bottle and put it in my sleeping bag. Wrap it up in extra clothes to avoid being burned. Take in the middle of the night, when it's cold.
The right equipment helps backpackers to stay warm, but not a guarantee of safe driving. After the outdoor knowledge, common sense and think about the future backpackers to help stay warm and live inland.
