Little tip concerning hot hands: I use them to keep my electronic devices and water filter warm when I winter camp. You won’t wake up to all your batteries drained and your filter frozen and compromised. Bring a bubble wrap envelope (from an amazon delivery) toss anything you want to protect in there, then throw in a hot hands, leaving it open just enough it gets oxygen. Come morning time you can continue to use it in that manner, or take your stuff out, seal the envelope, and the hand warmer should deactivate and will be usable the next night too

I have to say, I do really like your videos. They are lighthearted, honest, very helpful and they don't push the typical "you have to have this high-end high dollar gear" that so many other youtubers push. You give examples and your opinion through your experience and let the viewer decide for themselves.

I like to put one of those silver mylar emergency blankets between the tent floor and my pad. It act as a bit of a radiant barrier to keep thermal migration down.

I have tried 4 different liners and they all sucked and didn't add any warmth or feel comfortable... then I decided to try Appalachian Gear Company's alpaca liner and wow. It is so warm, comfy, and it doesn't get twisted up when I toss and turn! Love that thing.

put the down beanie on, please. 🙏🏼 There is absolutely nothing to smile about in the UK right now! 😢

I bought down booties last year but was too warm to use them. Use them for the first time this past weekend and that combined with a warmer sleeping bag made me wake with a start because I was so warm and snuggly that I thought I was in my own bed :p

You should do a video on what to pack when you're hiking in mountain ranges that create their own weather. Rainier, Mazatzal. These places are some of the hardest to prep for without taking everything. Forecast of 70 and sunny and getting 30 super rain cell and 50mph winds

The sleeping bag liner really is a game changer. My first time using one was about 6000 ft up Mt Rainier in February a couple years ago. My bag was rated for 20F, the liner rated for another 25F. It got down to right about 0F that night. I started the night off a little cold, but by midnight I had stripped off every bit of clothing in an attempt to stop sweating! 😅

1 of the best little things I got for winter camping is an insulted pouch for your dehydrated meals keeps them hot for longer and they hydrate better then after put your phone and power bank and your water filter in stops them freezing

I always said. I don’t care what I look like, just that you’re warm. Remember when the first time winter hiking camping. Years ago. Love the videos.

those hand warmers saved my life when i did my very first snow backpacking. totally unprepared for the cold, luckily i brought a bag of hand warmers and used it to heat inside my tent.

I have a pair of down booties and I always bring them in cold weather to sleep in for both my tent and hammock setup. One of those things I am glad I learned about them. I also bring a few hot hands warmers. I use them usually for a heat source at night if I get cold sleeping. Mini heater to take the edge off. Great video!

Thanks Dan for the late video, I was freezing my tuchas off in Santa Fe over the weekend AND THEN you drop this video telling me what I shoulda done

So funny. Decathlon (a french brand) is a low-cost supplier in Europe. Yes, some things are not bad. I've already checked out the down jacket. In the color shown, it costs currently €45 (US$44.50) in Germany.

I prefer a Wiggy's or Enlightened Equipment synthetic balaclava. You can hike in those and sweat without worrying about them failing, and you can breath through them without compromising the insulation.. They also compress less on the bottom of your head than down will.

If you put a couple of those chem warmers near your kidneys at night, you won't have to get up to answer nature as much. Cold kidneys like to flush water to reduce the volume your core has to heat. Warm kidneys let you sleep instead.

Can confirm that down jacket is awesome....bought it on your recommendation and take it on every trip!

In -60°F Alaskan weather I always kept my head warm with a simple beanie and turtle fur neck gaiter combo pulled up over my nose so only my eyes were uncovered. Worked great for all day long outside hiking in extreme cold weather. When ice buildup would happen from exhaling you'd shift the turtle fur gaiter around your head and by the time it got back around the ice/moisture was gone.

Ah Dan it’s so sweet of you to volunteer to help keep Emmett warm. Best chuckle of the day boys!

20 + year user here of the Forty Below overboots. Great if you don't want to spend the money for high tech and warm mountaineering boots or if it's not cold enough during the day for warm boots. If you have the money and it's cold enough to walk with them, nothing beats a warm mountaineering double boot. The ability to remove the boot liner and to bring it in your sleeping bag can be a necessity, depends how high/far/long you go..

Fill your water bottle with boiling water, put it in your down parka/sleeping bag to keep you warm.

Winter tent (no screen), candle lantern and more than one person per tent.

My favorite is when I’m prepared for a blizzard and the forecast was horribly wrong 😂
