- Hot water bottle (Nalgene)
Clothing
- Wool or synthetic base layers
- Insulated puffy jacket
- Waterproof shell
- Insulated pants
- Insulated boots
- Liner and outer gloves
- Warm hat
- Dry sleep socks
Kitchen
- Liquid-fuel or cold-rated stove

- Thermos
- High-calorie food
Safety
- Headlamp with lithium batteries
- Snow shovel
- Fire starter

Tips
- Keep batteries and your phone inside your sleeping bag at night.
- Eat a fatty snack before bed; your body burns it to stay warm.
- Vent the tent to reduce condensation and frost.
