If you have decided to get away for a camping trip to beat the January blues, then it is important to make sure you are well prepared for it. At this time of the year, planning is crucial to ensure that you stay healthy on your trip and keep the cold out.

Here are some of the things that can help you to do that…

Keeping Warm at Night – The night-time is when it tends to get the coldest, and combined with the fact that you are still whilst you are asleep this means that you are likely to suffer from the cold the most during the night. Wearing a balaclava to bed can help you to retain the warmth in your head which loses heat quickest, and also taking an additional sleeping bag that can be removed if you get too warm is a good idea.

Clothing – This is important when you are planning a winter trip. A thermal underlayer is essential as well as lots of clothes that are made from warm yet breathable fabrics like wool, such as these fisherman sweaters for women shamrockgift.com/aran-sweaters/womens-aran-sweaters/

You should also make sure that you have plenty of waterproofs and sensible footwear in case it’s a wet January!

Food – Eating plenty helps to give you energy, but you should also ensure that you are getting plenty of hot food. Stews and soups are great for when you are camping in the winter season.
