As the air turns crisp and the vibrant colors of fall paint the forests, it's the perfect time to head out for some cool-weather camping. The Pacific Northwest is a camper’s paradise during the autumn months, but it can also present some challenges, like wet weather and dropping temperatures. With the right gear, you can stay warm, dry, and cozy while still enjoying the outdoors with joy.
Here are some tips to make your fall camping adventures more comfortable:
- Layer up: Wear moisture-wicking base layers to keep sweat off your skin, and add insulating layers to trap heat. Finish with a waterproof, windproof shell to protect yourself from rain and gusty winds.
- Keep your gear dry: Store your clothes, bedding, food, and electronics in waterproof bags or dry sacks. Keeping your essentials dry is key to staying comfortable.
- Insulate from the ground: The ground can sap warmth from your body quickly. Bring a sleeping pad with good insulation, or layer blankets or tarps beneath your sleeping bag to keep warm while you sleep.
