It’s starting to get cold in the morning and before too long it will be pretty darn frosty outside. For me this is the signal that I need to winterize my gear as I typically keep a seasonal load (warm and cold weather). This usually only takes an afternoon and requires adding some of the following items to my gear:
- More lightweight / layered wool type clothing
- Thin sweat wicking underclothing
- Wool caps
- Thicker winter gloves
- Balaclavas
- Hand warmers
In addition I usually beef up the supplies in the trunk, adding a wool blanket and some additional food/water supplies. There have been too many instances of people becoming stuck in snow storms or even in gridlocked traffic without supplies, I don’t plan on being that person. Just a quick reminder so that you’ll remember to adjust your gear accordingly.
