How to stay warm while Winter Camping !!!

Most important, consider carrying an extra sleeping pad while you camping in winters. When you lie on your bag, you compress its insulation and most cold will come from beneath you. If you already have a decent self-inflating pad, we recommend carrying a Therm-a-rest Lite full-length pad . It adds very little weight to your kit and offers a substantial amount of extra insulation when you lie down.

Second, pack a full set of long underpants. You need maximum insulation in winters, hence one should invest in an all-purpose winter base layered innerwear.  Also pack some dry socks, and a warm cap.


At bedtime, have a long drink of water and eat an energy bar or something calorie rich. The water and food will help you generate a bit of extra heat. And when it's really cold, fill a water bottle with warm water. Secure the lid tightly and stick it down by your feet. You'll warm up quickly and sleep comfortably.
Happy Camping!!!
