When it comes to the colder months, we tend to see less and less people grabbing their camping gear. But Wido have shared this fabulous infographic showing how you can still camp in the cold, including tips and tricks to make it a great trip!
Brave it
The first step is plucking up the courage to make the venture and get out on your venture with the tent
Layer up
From under layers and outer layers to making sure your hat, scarves and gloves are in your bag. Layers are crucial for keeping cosy in the cold
Extra insulation
Make your tent cosier and double up on your sleeping mat for extra insulation and extra comfort
Don’t breathe in your bag
Breathing into your sleeping bag is a common habit of campers to keep warm. However, this creates moisture and ruins the insulating effect.
Hot water bottles
Pack a hot water bottle to help send you off to sleep that little bit easier
Think bright
Make sure you can enjoy your time outside for longer by fashioning a head torch. It’s also vital for those late night trips to the loo
Be fireproof
You will most probably be making a campfire so ensure your clothing or anything near is fireproof.
Get a good camping chair
By having a suitable camping chair, you won’t be sitting on the cold, wet ground meaning you can keep a bit warmer.
Travel mug
Help keep that hot chocolate warmer for longer in a travel cup which also enables you hands to be warmer too!
Have fun
Make sure you have plenty of activities planned to keep your minds occupied and weather will be a thought of the past. We love our travel bingo!
