PREVENT WINTER INJURIES
We thought we would share a few general winter survival tips to help prevent winter injuries caused by changes mother nature may have in mind.
Winter Clothing
Layering clothes is an effective way to stay comfortable and protected from the elements in various weather conditions. By layering clothing, you can regulate your body temperature, stay dry, and adapt to changing weather conditions. This technique is commonly used in outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, skiing, and mountaineering. The meta data also includes information on the types of layers and fabrics to use, as well as the importance of layering for different activities and climates.
Another Tucking Survival Tip
An easy to follow survival tip. If we tuck our pants into our socks, shirt into our pants, and so on, we trap this warmed air in a pocket of insulation so it can keep us warm instead of heating the universe. If you have long hair, tuck it into your shirt, too. Anything you can do to hold the heated air in and close to your skin will go a long way toward keeping you warm.
