10 Essentials for Cold Weather Camping

Find a thick down jacket or a synthetic insulated jacket to keep you warm, as well as a sturdy pair of cold weather hiking boots and thick socks. In addition to insulated clothing, you’ll also want to find a nice, warm sleeping bag to prepare for your winter camping trip. During some camping trips, sleeping pads may seem optional, but they’re absolutely essential in cold weather and snow. Finally, when you’re camping outdoors, especially in the winter, you’ll want to make sure you have some kind of urination device to keep with you throughout the night to avoid venturing out of your tent into the cold.

4 Tips to Prepare for Your First Backpacking Trip 4 Tips to Prepare for Your First Backpacking Trip When choosing your trail-ready pack, consider: Pack volume – Backpacks meant for hiking and camping come in various volumes, starting at 15 liters for day trips and past 55 liters for trips that extend beyond three to five days.

Because the Nano X is similar to the Nano S, much of what I say about the Nano S also applies to the Nano X. The Coldcard MK3 comes with a Duress PIN that is useful if someone is forcing you to reveal the PIN Even better, the Coldcard MK3 comes with a Brick PIN, which allows you to erase the Coldcard completely with one PIN - that's also useful in an emergency. Make fewer than 100 bitcoin transactions per year (and if you make more than that, you could still use the Coldcard as your cold storage bank and use a hot wallet for your daily use). Want a superior device interface than the Ledger S. Are a bitcoin maximalist (bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency you own).

How To Evaluate Travel Credit Cards

From heat to hydration, there’s a lot to take along when you set out to see the world’s most breathtaking sights. For example, the best travel credit cards don’t ding you with foreign transaction fees when you use them to pay for dinner or hotel bills abroad. It may be tedious to compare each company’s plan, but that’s what you have to do to make sure you’re signing up for the particular perks that are most meaningful to you and getting all the perks you have coming to you. Let’s say your travel companion has to cancel due to a family emergency and you just don’t want to travel alone.
