Bug Out Bag Winter-SUCCESS-Urban Survival

The first cold weather evaluation I attempted was a failure. I made some additions to the gear since and am prepared to sleep easy in a brisk -9 C Canadian night.

This night was especially dear to me, since I had slept in the first storm of winter, and this was the last.

hey chad where did you get that poncho liner/ bivy. Im in the same area as you so if its local i will likely be able to get it. thanks

[envirosponsible]

@avhousebitch I bought the liner in Florida when I went last year. I've seen them in Oshawa, but they're way too much.

excellent job, Maybe you could possibly have a camera man next time and travel for a day or 2 doing a whole deal not just nightly

[envirosponsible]

@goat20101 Cool idea. I'm going camping for 10-14 days in January and will be capturing lots of the experience.  Thanks for commenting.

I don't know if you are still reading comments or not. These videos seem to be outliving people's interest. But, I was very interested, and thanks. Your real experience is worth it's weight in gold.

I noted that you had cold spots under your hips and whatever points of hard contact you had with the ground (even though you included the thermopad). I saw this on another video. You should practice raking up a pile of leafs, and putting you bag on top. You might even be able to loose the thermopad.

@TODeastex You're absolutely right about increasing the insulation under me. Thanks for sharing.

@ihatethis23 Wow, I never thought of that but you're right.

It might be a luxury, but pharmacies sell little heating pads, some are hand warmers but some larger ones are for your shoes, they last 7 to 9 hours. If you activate a few of them, you could have a few in the bag with you to generate some heat. Or at least keep two on your feet, double socks with heat pad in between two layers, because as long as your feet are warm, you can survive.

that actully looked cumfertable

@johnmonk66 bring reusable heat pads. Boil the next day for re-use!

Hiding your pack in a trash bag sounds like a great way to hide it/conceal it practically in plain sight. I'll be sure to put a couple trash bags in my pack. It is urban or rural camouflage that way...
