Yea, I disagree with a few things he put on here. Wool is the king. He's a bit of an office guy imo when it comes to outdoors wear. Merino wool is usually thinner than beefy as shit/itchy wool, but it doesn't do nearly as good a job. He just says "nah" and goes straight to the poly base layers. 100% correct about cotton. Never wear cotton socks, even in Bamas. Grey scratchy wool ones are perfect, or the thicker windriver ones. If your feet still get cold, buy a felt/wool/winter insulated boot insole (I wear standard composite leather workboots that I just put in a thicker sole in the winter and make sure its waxed). I will sometimes (in like -10 to -15) wear a tight thick wool base, then a thinner wool shirt, and then cap it with a cotton shirt -when I'm not wearing a jacket, or out of the wind. I'm all about the thickest, purest, itchiest wool. Throw that on a base layer, and just something to break the wind/water proof exterior layer that you can vent. Gunner mitts are the second part. I've never never needed really beefy gloves (tbh I'd never wear gloves, mitts are the best-just wear your controller stylus on a lanyard) because a good pair over oversided (but thin) leather gunner mitts with a pair of thin cotton gloves are the absolute best. You can write in gunners, you can flag in them, and if you really, really need more dexterity, you can take them off without worry, because you can take your hands out with the thin cottons from time to time.

Great show as always. As a Canadian from SK and worked on the Oil Patch for a decade I was wearing level 1 and 2 in wet and cold as much as -40c. It also comes down to your tolerence of cold and what you do. Stand and freeze or work and stay warm.

The brands in the video are different from mine, but other than that, I dress in quite a similar way. My extreme winter clothes have a comfort temperature around -30°C/-22F (with just a thin base layer underneath), and my Pax Black boots with a removable inner boot of wool felt has kept my feet warm and dry in -38°C/-36F.

Also all electricity will be gone when the magnetosphere + polar reversal hits maximum weakening meaning we no longer have earth's magnetic field protection; we'd feel the true power of the Solar Nova that's in motion and the Sun. Not only that but we have the fun of the mantle cracking apart, freak storms, landscape transformations, flooding, even when the Nova Shell hits it will darken the skies for at least an entire month.

Thanks so much for this video! I grew up in warm central Chile. However, many years ago, I moved to England and had to learn about "cold" weather. Then, years later, I moved to Scotland and lived there for 5 years. There, I learned more about windy cold weather. Two years ago, I moved to Stockholm, Sweden, and I'm now learning about dry colder weather. Something that comes natural to many people, like winter clothing, has been quite challenging for me. It took me several years to learn how to dress for British winter and feel physically comfortable while living in the UK. After I achieved it, I thought I had "mastered winter" until I moved to Sweden. Despite the fact that I will probably never live in a place as cold as Canada (I hope so, I have a limit! haha), this video was really helpful to understand the logic behind winter clothing. In Stockholm, I think the coldest we can face in winter is around -15. This is something no one warns you as a scientist: you will probably live in many different countries, and besides having to adapt to different cultures (which isn't very hard if you are from a western country and migrate to other European or American countries), you have to adapt to different types of weather. Before moving to Sweden, wearing a wool peacoat was the most extreme thing I would do during winter haha

Thanks for this video!! I work as Security during the night and it’s about 0 degrees Celsius with some wind and this video has honestly been more helpful than anything else I’ve found.

If it got to -10 in central Texas, I would probably freeze to death just looking out the window!

Not with the proper gear. For -10°C, I just wear a cotton T-shirt and a normal sweater, but top it off with a brutal expedition-grade down parka! Now THAT helps! I can recommend the Mountain Hardwear "Absolute zero" for having no real flaws, excellent collar and hood, nice and thick and warm, plus completely water proof, this one has an excellent price/performance ratio. If money is no problem, then go for the Arcteryx "cold WX parka SVX". You'll NEVER have a better winter parka than that one. It is just 100% perfect in all ways you may look at it. As a The North Face nut, you may choose the "Himalayan parka" and if you prefer Canada Goose, just take the "expedition". Last, but not least, if your activities include dog sledding and other rough thing, nothing beats the Fjallraven "Expedition down parka no. 1". A MONSTER of a jacket, weighing 3kgs! Reinforced in all critical spots, this parka will survice paws and nails from a Husky... where most other parkas will be ripped to rags in no-time!

Good overall presentation. 45 years ago I was a railroad brakeman working in the Fairbanks, Alaska, railyard. I used level 3 layers similar to what you described. My footwear back then was a bit different. Some guys wore air force"bunny boots" and we're quite comfortable. The other option was Red Ball arctic golashes. Inside these zip-up rubber boots I had a 1/2" thick wool felt foot pad. I put on wool socks inside of a wool felt shoe (built like an Oxford). A plastic bag over this let it slip in the boot easily. My feet stayed very comfortable like this. At the end of a shift I could expect to find frost on the inside of the bag. This was no big deal as the inner layers would dry out during time off and the rubber boots never got damp. Keeping a thick insulation between the (-60 to -70 F) ground and my feet was key to comfort.

Great video. Also keep in mind that everyone's body is different and has a different tolerance to temperature. So what works for one, may not work for others at a given temperature rating. The main principle for staying warm in the winter is keeping yourself dry. How you do that is a matter of preference. There is no one perfect solution to this problem.

I live in Anchorage and its amazing how you see people in the middle of the winter wearing shorts and complaining about the cold. Can't remember the last time I got cold cause I dress for the weather.

When you finish the 3d level, suddenly you feel you need to pee.

Awesome video. One thing that might help people that already own a heavy down jacket that has a thin shell, is to layer it under an uninsulated anorak. I've been doing this for a while and it works well. The drawback is I don't have insulated pockets for my hands. Eventually I'll buy a better jacket, but this method allowed me to use what I have to camping with lows around -10C/14F.

love the talk about the gimmickry in jackets like Canada goose and interior reflective material, i knew it!

I experienced a -20C briefly and immediately ordered a giant down coat. I’m happy to have it available for when I need it! I’ve also bought down gloves and great-quality socks. I’m planning a move from Massachusetts to northern Maine so...

Just goes to show you how hardened and resistant to cold Canadians get!!

@dutchcourage7312

perhaps unrelated to your use case, but do take in mind that during the night temperatures can drop -10 to -15 degrees compared to the day temperature, simply because the sun is gone. And when it's clowdy that actually means it's warmer than when the sky is clear, because those clowds actually trap some heat underneath them (also has to do with how clouds form, which is generally from warmer air being blow one a colder surface) ... so when it goes from cold and clowdy during the day, to clear and cold night, the drop in temp. might even be bigger ... So i'm not sure what that 7C is based upon, day or night, but depending on the usecase, please do take this information into account. ;)

They tend to discontinue what really works. In this one video I’ve watched of yours, you have really helped. Keep up the good work! I’m going to watch more and hopefully find something that fits my work style!

Thanks for all the info. As a Canadian, I'm seasoned in staying warm in -40'C winters. The warmest outerwear I owned over the years included a parka that was all synthetic materials. It had 3 ways of wearing it; a vest, a jacket and then the vest and jacket zipped together to become a parka with hood. The other was a long coat that included an inner wool coat, a nylon shell over top with a huge, fur lined hood. Again, you could wear the wool coat on its own, the outer nylon shell as a rainy day coat and then the 2 secured together as a winter coat. Hands down the warmest winter wear I ever owned. The reason they were successful was they both employed layers to keep you warm; the best way to insulate in extreme cold.

I love mittens. I used them in -40° temps when I was a forklift driver in a freezer. once you break them in you can still do things like write with a pencil , push buttons on a joystick , etc...

Excellent job of that. Love your choices and the reality you represent. Oh and yah, BAFFIN BOOTS!

Well done Nate. Nothing to add but for those who wonder where that story of losing 80% of your body heat from your head comes from. I found that it started from a researcher taking a thermal photo of people who were dressed fully in winter gear and from that photo it could be seen that 80% of the body heat lost was escaping from their face/head area which can't be covered fully because we need to see and breath.( I want to say that it was done by the America Army in Antarctica but it has been awhile so I am uncertain of that.)

sorry Thought I could find the article on line but no luck.

I'd say the reason they blame the head for heat loss is due to people not wearing proper headwear compared to the rest of the body. Source: Myself as a teen not wearing a hat ha ha

Well it's actually most to do with the opening of your jacket at your neck ... so wearing a scarf is probably more important than wearing a hat ... this is obviously because heat rises, and if your neck isn't sealed well in order to trap the heat, you will loose it ... (head wear, imo, is mostly to do with comfort of the ears, because most (not all) have hair (aka natural fibers) to protect their head from cold) ... So there is some merit to saying you loose most the heat at the top of you body, but that is due to the heat rising and escaping at your neck 'aka the top of your body'... ... the more you dive into this stuff the more you pick up and know ;)

Thanks for the video CP. I'd love to visit Canada some time - I think half the fun would be shopping for all the Winter gear. Nice to see I'm not the only one with flippin' dog hairs all over my kit, too!! :D

Great video. Beautiful dog. I got shepherd hair everywhere too lol.

Living in Alaska I have to disagree. You need a good, waterproof outerlayer type bib and jacket Klim is my favorite since they are tough outer shells and the cuffs are rubberized and do not climb the boots like you were having trouble with in this video. Then you can just adjust the base layers and use the vent system for active/inactive cycles. I have 4 pairs of baffin for different temperatures and they are great for a day trip out riding but the absolute best is NEOS overboots. They will keep a decent hiking boot warm in arctic conditions and they keep your feet dry even if very active. For head gear I use the carhart a202 fleece headwear with built in face guard and for colder times an up-downer like you used. Gloves I must get some beaver mittens like you but I do ok with the mittens i have. Most important in "Level 3" is NO EXPOSED SKIN!! Any exposed skin will result in frostbite. Even if you have to take off your underwear and wear it on your head make a face barrier you cannot let skin be out.

If you live in the costal region of Alaska then I would agree for sure. Completely different climate. Much more moderate and wet for sure.

Loved the video. I really want the setup you use for level 3 winter. I live in alberta and every year we see a week at least of minus 50 celcius weather. I work in it doing snow removal so i am very climatized for cold weather. But those beaver gloves. Omg i didnt know they made such beauties.

You should do a review of the S- Boston Pocket Hand Warmer... In my opinion it far superior than any other I've tried. It can give you heat up to 75C (167F) and lasts for up to 20 hours. This hand warmer is easy lighting and extinguishing. There's no need for a lighter, simply press the button for 5 ~ 10 seconds and it starts working!

Here in So Cal watching this just cuz I love this channel and I guess you never know where you might end up. Also love your dogs❤️

Great video, spot on with the information. One difference I do, is to use leather mitts with wool inserts, and then a wool liner glove for cold weather. The reason being, that after the mitts get wet, you can more easily dry them out by the fire as you eat lunch. Hard to do that with a synthetic mitt. I am going to check out your site regarding those beaver mitts...they look really warm.

Worked close to the arctic circle, 40 and below from time to time. From my experience you don't really need a bunch of special winter gear except those mittens and boots. The rest of it are several layers of the same clothes you would wear for the rest of the year with a windbreaker on top, granted you will want to have some size difference in the under garments because stacking 3 tight fitting long sleeved t-shirts on each other isn't going to do you much good.

@@Lappmogel yeah I mean I'm at 72 north, I agree that you don't need specialized gear except like you said hand and feet. I prefer synthetic boots for long treks for the support while walking,, but generally my seal skin shoes allows me to stay still -20c, while my synthetic will start to feel cold. What I'm amazed of is that this guide lacks any basic wool clothing! At least he talked about merino tights, but I would definitely advice people to get a decent wool sweater, cap, neckwarmer on top of the tights... I use my tights almost all year round because I don't like being cold, but in the winter it's all about that wool :) Also personally I prefer to wear those running T-shirts from puma, Nike because they soak up the sweat so well and dry instantly, paired with a nice wool sweater and a wind breaker and you're set. I'm not going to shit on him, but down Jaket? he even mention the wetness! just go with wool or animal skin (seal) and a wind breaker, that way you don't risk getting it wet and really cold. I think it's a different culture out there, I bet it's mostly dry and cold, with little wind chills, while here at the coast it's windy as hell, while the mountains are also windy.

@@svampebob007 I'm surprised he doesn't use merino wool instead of synthetic base layer, too. What's a windbreaker looks like, is it like the tight base layer but thick (similar to what divers wear)? It seems that this kind of wear is difficult to find, not many seem to buy it I guess. About down jacket - didn't he talk about waterproof layer with that? With waterproof layer on top it's not a bad idea at all, no?

That used to be the case, now-adays i think they are required to have flame retardants in them (not 100% sure though) ... now flame retardant doesn't mean flame proof, but they shouldn't burn like they used to, and only melt for a very short period of time (yes that still means holes around the campfire) ... ps. the melting can still be a problem because if you get that on your skin it prolongs contact and thus severity of the burn.

Minnesota here. It's hard to believe that people need this kind of education. I also forget that people don't live in the below zero weather like we do for months. Much love from Minnesota. I would like to contact you with some feedback, long time follower and your videos are pretty much spot on. The after the collapse sieries is by far the most educational for the average person. Kudos.

That was great. When the temp dips to below freezing, 32F or below, I pull out my fur hats, gloves and scarves...my mother taught me this years ago...NOTHING keeps you warmer than animal skins and fur. Natures way of protecting us when we can't...need to watch again and take notes...and check my current gear.

So what you are saying ... (1) United States West Coast clothing, (2) United States Midwest and New England clothing, ... and then (3) Canuckian daily clothing.

I am a Floridian and love the snow and cold. When I am older, I am gonna move to the Arctic Circle

Thorough and very informative. I’m from Miami and I moved up north so I’m new to the winter season. It’ll be great haha thank you very much.

I think experience, knowing how to dress for the activity level, is the key. I mean, it dictates what you should wear imo. So you cannot say you should wear this for that temp, and that for that temp. It totally depends on how hard your body is working and thus, how much heat your body is creating. The most critical thing is to avoid sweat at all costs. Synthetics usually traps sweat near your skin and make you even colder after activity. I have worn only a thin woolen mesh baselayer and a thin uniform in 15- C when moving with a (very) heavy pack and kept a perfectly cosy body temp. When pausing in such a scenario, just temporaily pull on a heavy woolen sweather/pants. Then remove these when moving again. If on standstill or guard duty, pack on with heavy wool and tighten any air gaps, especially around the neck/head. Some of the major aortic arteries is placed very shallowly beneath your neck-skin and they suck the warmth out of you if not properly covered. A Polished military leather boots, with thin wool socks and wool soles is more durable than goretex shoes. As you said, do not pack on to many pairs of socks - it will freeze your feet solid. You want to create an air barrier, like house insulation - so make room in your boots. Military-style boots could be used as ski boots as well, unlike civilian winter boots. Multi-purpouse is smart. I would not recommend any synthetics at all, only a thin raincoat/poncho for rainy weather and perhaps the upside of your headwear, to keep moistyre away from your hair. Synthetics like goretex and fleeces, burns when hit by even the smallest sparks or flame and tears yeasily when heavily used. In addition it is usually very noisy, not good for hunting or other stealthy work. The down jackets are indeed warm, but will not be warm if wet. My recommendation is to just augment military/indigenous kit. Wear woolen / animal skin tunics. For example a wool bush shirt / boreal shirt.

polyester is NOT polypropylene. They are both polymers but are completely different materials.

Excellent advice all through.

This is an awesome video. I want all kinds of fur lined stuff now. There’s one thing I can say about heated garments. I have a heated vest and it lasts ten hours on the low setting. When I wear it under an insulated jacket it shuts off automatically when it gets to a certain temp. Then if I get cold again I can turn it back on and I’m toasty in no time. This makes the battery seem as if it lasts way longer than ten hours. I’ve never owned anything else heated, and don’t really want to, but I do like how this system has been working so far this year

When I was in Winnipeg, in -40 weather, I would see kids outside wearing running shoes and windbreakers. Maybe you should talk to them to discover their secrets.

Depends on if your dogs live outside or not. If they live outside year round they will fur up and stay warm so long as you feed them enough (and it will be SUBSTANTIALLY more than the warm months, as in how many times more not how much percent more). If they live inside with you (where it is warmer), then you need to be concerned about them when you take them out. Paw socks to keep their feet dry and ice from building between the toes are the first step, but you will need to get your dog used to wearing them (preferably in warmer months). You can also put a dog coat on them if needed. Of course, since that is only for dogs not acclimated to the outside, if it is too bad outside just leave your dogs at home for their own safety.
