COLD WEATHER PREPARATION:

LAYERED CLOTHING SYSTEM

Plan to dress in layers. Wear several layers of lighter clothing instead of one heavy layer. This way, you can better regulate the amount of insulation. Layers trap warm air better than one heavy sweater. If you get warm , you can take layers off and add some more clothing layers if you get cold. Keep yourself dry, both from the weather and perspiration. Clothes should fit LOOSE. If your toes get cold, put on a hat! IF YOU'RE DAMP, YOU'RE COLD!

Suggested Clothing Layers

Long thermal underwear
Shirt or inner layer
Sweater, light jacket or winter parka
Wind or rain gear
Long, thermal underwear
Pants that can protect from wind or rain
Socks: insulating socks preferred, wool or wool blend - bring extras to change if toes get cold
Footwear: hiking boots (sneakers are not as insulated)
Warm hat, gloves or mittens


ADDITIONAL DO's & DONT's:

These rules will make our trip easier, safer and in general run smoother for everyone.


1. FOOD: if you bring dinner, drinks, snacks, etc. - it must be in a ziplock or paper bag and will NOT be in your backpack. It will be placed in troop cooler before we depart on our trip.

2. Sleeping bags MUST be in a "stuff sack" & tied shut.

3. Foam mats - rolled tight & tied with rope (no strings, rubber bands - they don't last).

4. Clothes should be rolled & packed in gallon ziplock bags. All essentials MUST FIT INTO YOUR LARGE BACKPACK.

5. The following are NOT ALLOWED IN CAMP: make up & perfume - candy & gum - electronic games - portable radios/CD/DVD players - cell phones - aerosol bug repellants - hairdryers
