My Favorite and Most Hated Outdoor Winter Gear (Outdoor Diary)
Listen now
Description
When I moved to Alaska from Tennessee I was not someone who spent a lot of time outside, and I owned virtually no clothing you and I would think of as “winter gear.” I simply had no experience spending time outside in cold weather, and I had no idea what I was doing. In the years since I have quite a lot of time to practice going outside comfortably in all types of weather and seasons, which means I have had some time to figure out what I like to wear out there -- and what I don’t. Maybe these experiences can help you, too, as you learn to how to stay warm and comfortable outside all winter long.
