Just remember, that anytime you do something in the outdoors, from a short walk in the winter woods, to a winter camping trip, always make sure a grownup is with you.
- When you're camping in the winter, the temperature can get a little chilly at night.
Let's go check on Brent to learn some tips for staying warm.
(tent unzipping) Hey Brent.
- Oh hey there.
Well, my first tip is use the mummy part of your sleeping bag and tighten that up and you may just leave your nose and mouth out so that perspiration leaves the bag, but you stay toasty, warm.
The other thing I did before I went to bed, I kept my hat on, some extra layers, but I made sure they were dry.
Had dry socks.
I have a sleeping bag that fits me so there's not any extra room that I have to fill with body heat.
If your bag's a little too big for you, you can tuck it under your sleeping pad.
The other thing I did, I made a bottle of warm water and I sleep with that close to my core, so that helps keep me warm too.
You might put that near your feet or near your chest.
The other thing, I have two sleeping pads.
And make sure there's insulation in these sleeping pads because that insulates you against the cold ground.
The other thing is I ate before I came to bed so my body's able to create some of that... That energy is burning and creating body heat and I made sure I went to the bathroom before I went to bed as well.
That doesn't make me have to use body heat to warm up anything unnecessarily.
So get out there and enjoy winter camping.
It can be fun.
