[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2937240, member: 64108"] Most people don't drink enough water especially when you have to melt snow to get it. Cold air is very dry and you can lose nearly a quart of water just in your sleep so hydrate accordingly. Propane and butane stoves/fuel cannisters can freeze in cold weather(the cannister will get even colder as it releases the compressed gas) so consider a liquid fuel stove if you are in prolonged cold. The Hot Hands Super Warmer is king of the hand warmers and really do last ~18 hours. An insulated sleeping pad will keep you away from the cold ground and cold air. Outdoor Gear Lab has some good gear reviews. [URL="http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/camping-and-hiking"]www.outdoorgearlab.com/camping-and-hiking[/URL] Be sure to use seam sealer(Seam grip) on your tent fly at all the critical seams so they don't leak.
