How to survive in the snow - Bear Grylls
Plants and animals won’t survive above the tree line, and neither will you. Stay below it for food, shelter and warmth.
For clothing, remember the acronym COLD:
- Clean — Dirt and grease make clothing lose its insulating quality
- Overheating — Sweat means wet, and damp clothes reduce your body temperature
- Loose and layers — Air pockets between your clothes act as an insulator
- Dry — Wet clothes, especially wet socks, will kill you
If you have to cross a frozen lake or river, remember, thick and blue equals tried and true; thin and crispy, way too risky. Get into dry clothes as quickly as possible.
If you have no spare clothing, roll around in the snow to absorb water from your clothes. If you have spare clothing, roll around in the snow naked to absorb water from your skin.
To dry your clothes with no fire, hang them on branches until the water freezes, then bang the clothing to shake out the ice.
