1 Cold Weather Camping Sun Rivers District December 13 th, 2012
2 Cold Weather Camping Cold Weather Camping is camping when the temperature is below 50 o F Cold Weather Camping is NOT survival camping (even though it is serious) You don t have to get cold when you are cold weather camping and you won t, if you are properly prepared.
3 Cold Weather Success The key to successful Cold Weather activities are in the C.O.L.D. itself. C keep clothing and gear Clean O avoid Overheating L Layers help our heater be efficient D staying Dry is staying warm
4 ATTITUDE is Everything Deciding to accept the cold, is the first step and can be the best way to enjoy it. Thinking that it s going to be miserable, will make it so, even before you leave base camp. Developing a positive attitude is a very important skill, especially if the going gets tough or someone needs your help. Respect nature in cleanliness, preparedness, and what it can do, if you don t respect it.
5 Cold Weather Camping This Training Will Address: How do I make heat? How do I lose heat? What will happen when I lose heat? How do I avoid cold related injuries? How does layering help me stay warm? How will I stay warm tomorrow night? Planning Everything takes longer
6 How do I make heat? "The body basically acts as a furnace, producing heat through chemical reactions and activity. Increase your activity and you increase your heat production Decrease your activity and you decrease the heat production The key to keeping warm is reducing heat loss by adding insulation
7 Fuel the Furnace Food is used to fuel the only furnace you can count on in cold weather YOUR BODY. Think of food as fuel for the fire: Carbohydrates for quick energy (kindling) Proteins for controlled burn (wood) Fats for long easy heat (log on the fire)
8 How do we loose heat? Evaporation - Heat loss from converting water from a liquid to a gas Respiration - water and heat loss with every breath you take. Perspiration - bodies response to remove excess heat (sweat) Perspiration Your bodies response to maintain a 70% humidity next to skin Conduction - Direct contact with something cold (setting on snow) water conduct heat 25X faster than air steel conduct heat away even faster than water Convection - Through the movement of air over your body (the wind) Radiation loss of heat to the environment due to a difference in temperatures.
9 What will happen when I lose heat? Dehydration Depletion of body fluids. Frost Nip - surface freezing (white, waxy, top layer feels hard) cheeks, earlobe, fingers, toes Frost Bite -white, wooden feeling, includes all layers of the skin & into the muscle. Hypothermia - lowering of the body core temperature; stumbles, mumbles, fumbles, grumbles
10 Dehydration When the body s liquid stores deplete Happens quicker than you would think Symptoms Preventive Measures Goofiness Proper hydration Dark yellow urine Watch your buddy Low energy Monitor the pee tree Can lead to Hypothermia
11 Frost Nip (superficial frostbite) Freezing of only the outer layers of the skin on your face, nose, cheeks, fingers and toes. Symptoms White, gray or waxy skin skin feels hard Preventive Measures Proper layering Avoid exposing skin Use Extreme caution when handling liquid fuels Warm cheeks with your hands, and your fingers in your armpits.
12 Frostbite Partial or full-thickness, deep freezing of the extremities (fingers and toes). More that just the freezing of the skin. Symptoms White skin patches Lethargic attitude Numbness & loss of feeling Clammy, hard tissue Preventive Measures Proper layering Avoid exposing skin Use Extreme caution when handling liquid fuels
13 Hypothermia The condition where the body s core temperature drops below 95 o F Symptoms Chills and shivering Lethargic attitude Disorientation Usually brought on in conjunction with dehydration. The umbles Preventive Measures Stay hydrated drink a LOT Stay fueled up Stay active Stay dry Don t sweat
14 How do I avoid cold related injuries? Reduce heat loss Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated (warm water, no snow) Eat - feed the fire Exercise - start and stoke the fire Stay "Comfortably Cool" - stay dry, don't sweat, or get wet
15 How does layering help me stay warm? "The essence of staying warm in the winter is having the proper clothing layers and knowing how to use them effectively. Wicking layer Insulating layer Wind layer 60-75% of your heat loss is out the head Mittens keep your hands warmer than gloves NO COTTON! It holds moisture.
16 Your Essential Layers Wicking Layer Polypropylene, Silk, Capilene these materials get the moisture away from your body. Insulation (warmth) Layer Wool, Polar Fleece, Down this layer traps the heat from your body to help keep you warm. Wind Layer Nylon, Canvas, Windstopper this layer keeps the wind from whisking the heat away from your body through convection.
17 Some Layering Notes #1 Rule is NO cotton! cotton keeps you warm while it is dry, but if it gets wet, it stays wet and robs your body of heat. Socks, sweatshirts and blue jeans are ALL cotton. The Inuits have a saying; You sweat, you die layer up or down before you need it, to avoid getting too hot or too cold. Canvas is good if the weather is dry, but it is cotton, so watch out for the moisture. Keep it simple and keep it handy.
18 How will I stay warm at night? Change clothes before going to bed - get dry Don't breath inside the sleeping bag - stay dry Double up sleeping bags when needed - mummy bags Ground pad(s) Don't overheat NO COTTON! It holds moisture.
19 Snooze Rules If Mother Nature calls, answer her. Holding that fluid is a waste of energy. In between your bag and liner go: The days clothes to dry out for tomorrow A water bottle to stay hydrated A few snacks to keep the furnace stoked Boot liners Wear a cap to protect your ears and reduce heat loss.
20 One BIG word of Caution When you are properly layered for cold weather, campfires can be more of a hazard than help. You can t feel the heat Most cold weather gear will melt rather than burn, so you can t tell it is happening. Use campfires sparingly. Remember L.N.T. Outdoor Ethics.
21 Planning Everything Takes Longer Cooking Changing Clothes Traveling Going to the Bathroom Making or Breaking Camp Making or Setting up Shelters
