Staying Warm in Winter- uncommon wisdom

Many of us know how important it is to dress in layers to stay warm and comfortable when doing our favorite winter activities like hiking, skiing, mushing, or snowshoeing. And we know that staying hydrated is also important to staying warm. Being well-hydrated means you have good blood volume and good circulation to fingers and toes. But how else can we keep ourselves warm? One thing I do is keep my face well moisturized and use a product like “Warm Skin” or udder balm to help prevent wind burn and moisture loss. I also use “Warm Skin” on my feet. It helps reduce the amount my feet sweat, which means my feet stay warmer. I’ve been a big fan of “Warm Skin” for many years, but don’t worry if you can’t find it in your local outdoor store. Anything you do to keep your feet well moisturized will help keep them warm in the winter.- Shelley S
