Five quick tips on how to behave in storm and winterly cold:
- Prevent your body from loosing body heat by wearing windproof but breathable clothing suitable for winter trips.
- Instead of wearing one thick piece of clothing, wear multiple layers (“Onion Principle”). This way it’s easy to adjust to changing conditions and avoid overheating or cooling off too much.
- Constant movement can prevent frostbite.
- Avoid exposed terrain whenever possible. Instead, choose your route on the side turned away from wind.
- If you are caught in a storm or bad weather, break off your trip in time. Eventually build your camp or bivouac before you are exhausted.
