Thanks for the reminder to stay cool as heat management is key to staying out in the cold longer for those of us not expeditions that have the option to seek a warm environment when we mismanage our body heat.
Thanks for the ideas. I ended getting a merino wool sweater I shrunk and sewing it for face protection. I made a neck buff with a vent that can open up for my mouth and goes up over nose. I also made a headband and fingerless gloves all with one old sweater.
I enjoy your videos a lot. You really have quite a few gold nuggets that I will take with me on the journey. I’m just a regular Joe, hiking in the mountains, but I appreciate all the information nonetheless 👍🏻👍🏻🇳🇴
I have often wondered why people who hike in extreme weather conditions don't wear full-face motorcycle helmets. They have all sorts of air vents, a visor that can be opened, closed, or cracked open just a little, and there is Styrofoam insulation all around your head. They are designed to be comfortable when worn for hours on end, all day if necessary. This seems like a much better option than patching together various scarves, goggles etc. Maybe a slightly smaller, less tightly padded version could be made specifically for this role, as the crash protection element is not needed.
Awesome advice. I especially like your thoughts on the headband idea. Plus you can continually rotate around head to dry out as moisture builds up from respiration.
I could not breath through a buff on pico de Orizaba. I had to put the buff only around my nose to keep it from freezing while I left my mouth uncovered. Great suggestions!
Thank You for this hacks! I would like to ask you a couple of things: -What do you think about breathing through fabbric? I found that it does collect too much moisture and makes the face too cold... -What do you think about beard? is it an empediment or helps?
I don't like breathing through fabric. It's hard sucking wind up high. I prefer the masks with holes. If I can avoid the beard, that's good. Ice buildup causes frostbite, especially in masks. The beard keeps you warmer but if you get ice buildup, it causes more damage & problems than the warmth solves.
Very good sir....I would like to order your book. Brief summary, I’m going to the Himalayas October 2021 to summit Island Peak via EBC and have been watching your superb content on all things related. Congrats on your achievements and informative channel. Ok, let’s get ordering your book, what’s the procedure? Tristan
Great, thanks! Check out these Amazon links for the books: Antarctic Tears: amzn.to/2SJGdoH How to Keep Your Feet Warm in the Cold: amzn.to/3mvBrZS Adventure Expedition One: amzn.to/2tIASTG Lost at Windy Corner: amzn.to/2EEZN0K
Alin, The hood on the the Sasta Peski Ventile Anorak (of which I own one) has a very similar tunnelling effect to your Columbia hat. Fjallraven's Keb softshell jacket and perhaps some of the offerings from Klattermusen also do this...although Klattermusen have phased out most of their EtaProof cotton products.

Exactly!
2:29 I love your modular balaclava.
Sometimes I just need a thin layer over nose and cheekbones (plus hood/hat and buff). This is perfect.
Excellent!

I'd love a toasty climbing helmet.

Thanks for sharing!
Great info. Didn’t realize there were so many different types of face & head protection & their applications ❄️😎
They are!

@@ALinsdau Thanks a lot Aaron, it makes sense!
Good question. I always make sure my mouth and nose are not covered. Especially on ascents.
You should check out the montane punk balaclava with pertex quantum material it's amazing
Cool thanks for the lead!
Do you think that any fabrics are better than others in preventing frostbite?
Where can I buy all of your clothing winter stuff and do they have plus size for women? 🤔🥰🤗💖🇨🇦
Check out my Greenland exped list:

For plus size women, men's clothes may be something to consider.

Hi Aaron, are you interested in testing headlamp? I want to send you a sample but don't know how, can you advise?

@@ALinsdau Thank you, sent it already.

@@ALinsdau TY
How do you stay cool?
As I'm walking along, I pull down the mouth covering. If I'm still hot, I take off a hat layer, then 2. With so many piled on, it's easy to fine tune.

Thanks - it's easier if I buy then, then I don't have to worry about being perceived as honest.
