Staying warm....
Jan. 7th, 2014 11:15 pmOnce again, the weather turns cold and snowy. Last month, I was surprised that one of my friends, who works as a remodeling contractor, hadn't heard of these tips. And so I mentally went back to my past, and recounted some of the tips and tricks I learned through my time in Boy Scouts, and my camping experiences.
The first thing I learned was to dress in layers. It's tougher for wind to penetrate through layers of clothing. Plus, if you sweat, you can swap out the inner layer (once you're inside, of course). A great example of this is when I put a denim jacket over an old Boy scout wool coat. That was the warmest coat I ever had.
Wool is a great material to wear when it's cold. If it gets wet, it will still keep you warm.
