One of the biggest struggles backpackers have is staying warm. Even outside the winter months it can get COLD in the backcountry. In this video I'll show you a few simple, easy, and relatively cheap pieces of gear that I add to my core 3-season backpacking kit to make it warm enough for comfortable winter backpacking! These tips won't help you with mountaineering or extreme cold weather situations where the temperature drops well below the teens (or under -9 celsius), but they will help transform your spring, summer and fall backpacking kit into a winter backpacking kit without breaking the bank or adding much weight to your pack! And hey, if you're like me and you basically feel cold all the time, use these tips to level up the warmth of your kit in all seasons! Have fun out there, stay warm and be safe. LOVE Y'ALL!
