What To Pack
Start Hiking makes an attempt to give you suggestions
on what to pack. Whether you're out for the day or a two
or three nighter.
One tip... try the hand warmers for overnight winter hiking. Sleep with one between your thighs
and one on the lower part of your rib cage. They work wonders to take away the mid-night shivers.
SAFETY TIP
If you suspect that you have frost bite DO
NOT RUB YOUR HANDS TOGETHER.
Frostbite is caused by the formation of ice
crystals on and in your skin.
Rubbing your the frostbitten skin causes more
damage.
