There are many more places to explore. Oh! Life give me chance to explore them.

I suggest also a neck gaiter, wristies, and also a fleece scarf to wrap around to block and keep the wind off the face. Key is to keep the air off the skin and if anything is cold, add another layer. Get beanies of different sizes and thickness so you can layer 3 or 4 of them.

One of my best memories is of winter hiking along the St. Lawrence River one Christmas. We rented a cabin at Wellesley Island State Park and explored the trails around the island. We had all the right of fleece! We could be out most of the day and still not get cold.
That's about as far North as I would want to go.
The wind!

Hand and foot warmers are a good idea. We haven't tried them before, but they sound like they'd keep you nice and toasty 😁

Why am I watching this? I've never even seen snow.

[RizzyStories]

I felt the cold 🥶 just by watching this.

I am a diabetic. I get cold below 40 degrees F, and frigid at 20. These are great tips for people with circulation problems already. Although as a Diabetic, I have to be really careful with toe and hand warmers.

Tip: use waterproof socks. They are incredibly thin for the heat they retain. I don't get on with boots - so I bought an Altra Lone Peak 4 waterproof trail runner. I use Dark Tough's as my inner sock, Seal Skinz as my outer socks and the trainer. That's it. Just buy a little over sized. Went for a hike for 4 hours in 20 below C last week in Montreal and my feet were toasty warm without being uncomfortable. If you get cold feet you can add another water proof sock. I know that's not sub 40 but a pretty handy tip for warmer days. For sub 40 I'd still think it'd work - you might have to buy 2 sizes bigger but just keep adding socks - it's just so much comfier than big heavy boots.


Oh and you stop snow ingress into your shoe with gaiters. Even if you have an accident and your shoe gets wet - you have multiple layers of waterproof socks.

Much respect from Minnesota! I work outside year round and we will be out in -10°F during the winter, but you guys are nuts going on a nature walk in -50°F lol

[Alice-mbxf]

Woohoo! I love Manitoba. But that wasn’t the coldest. We’ve had -53 in the capital

[tequila]

i’ve experienced -30/40 degrees before waiting for the bus in just jeans and a good hoodie — not something i can recommend

[blitznone]

Thanks for video. Wife and I going to Fairbanks for Thanksgiving, son lives there. We live in Phoenix, AZ.

[ronaldrose]

Thanks for sharing this great information. 🤗

[TheFIoridaMan]

Watching this and the coldest ive ever been was 17 F and thought it was insane lol I can’t imagine

[evileddy]

I've always wondered how people layer. I live in texas and it never gets colder than 30 degrees Fahrenheit in the part I live in.
