Winter and Cold

Layers, snow travel, ice, and staying alive at night.

Hauling a toboggan Winter and Cold Pulling your gear on a sled instead of carrying it: how to load it, rig it and keep it from running you down on the hills. Keeping gear working in the cold Winter and Cold Batteries, fuel, water and zippers all quit before you do. Layering for cold Winter and Cold Three layers, staying dry, and what to do the minute you stop moving. Snowmobile travel Winter and Cold Getting in and out of the country on a machine in winter, and what to carry when it quits miles from the truck. Snowshoes and breaking trail Winter and Cold Picking a pair, strapping in, and moving through deep snow without wearing yourself out. Travelling on snow and ice Winter and Cold Reading ice, breaking trail, and what to do when you go through. Winter camping Winter and Cold Sleeping warm in the snow: what goes under you, what goes in the bag with you, and how to wake up with water that is not frozen.
