I'd love to hybernate in the Winter. Strangely, I do enjoy my daily walks, even in the winter, of course, knowing that within half an hour or so I have a warm home to return to.
I agree exercise is important. I invested in my own Treadmill, Bench Abdominal, Weights, Elliptical Machine, and yoga mats. I also, converted a part of my basement into a home gym setup. It affords me the ability to keep my fitness routine up to date. While shuttering in place. 😊
Today a perceived that how intutive is the order of each video of your channel. At first looked for possible troubles regarding renting a place. Answered. Then thought, public transportation may be confusing too. Bingo, TCC map made feel much more confident about how to travel through the city. And now I am happy to know what me and my wife could wear to overcome the winter, since here in Brazil e never experienced anything below 23 ºC ahhah. Thanks a lot!!!!
I'm really glad that the videos were useful for you and your wife! I know how it is to come over here and be clueless about how to do things. I hope to make more videos that will make moving here feel easier! All the best for the both of you!
really good video! I just moved to a state in the USA where the temp can get to -25C and I am from a tropical country! I'm still learning how to find appropriate clothes and your video was very helpful. thank you so much❤
Thanks a lot for these tips, straight to the point with great suggestions! I also love how you have suggested beautiful stuff that are affordable (I might come to Quebec next winter for work and I was getting a bit anxious about the budget for winter clothes and how much I should save to be able to buy everything upon arrival). Great content and I just subscribed, please keep doing more videos!
Brand new subscriber here... Thanks for the clothing, etc. suggestions/tips. I have been born and raised near Chicago, lived in NE Ohio for 20+ years, and now living almost 3 years in SE Michigan. Cold weather gear, especially with the recent brutal Winter weather. More Winter weather to come into 2023! Thank you! Happy New Year! 😁
Welcome to the channel! I've lived in Ohio, as a kid, for about 2 years, also visited Michigan, Ann Arbor several times. Right, the weather is pretty similar!
My best surviving item is a grocery veggies plastic bag - transparent one. Get one when going outdoors in crazy cold windy day, put it over my hat save that brain. Speaking about cold, central Canada has got scary cold these past years, Eastern cities like Toronto and Montreal fare much better. It's all about the broken Polar Vortex which is blasting central Canada.
Hi I live in Sudbury Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 yes it is extremely cild here & winter is coming way to Soon🥶❄️☃️just happened to come across your videos 👌🤗Nice to meet you❤
Also check where you will be in Canada as each provinces have different Winter weathers, in Manitoba, it can get to -50c, so you need an extra warm jacket
Manitoba is insanely cold 🥶 I have the omni-tech Columbia jacket and it’s rlly good for our winter , I’d say it’s important to invest in it plus making sure your wearing the right layers underneath (like the ones you mentioned in the video)
I’ve been watching your videos recently and they are very impressive the way you tell like systematically and detaily nice and what about men’s winter clothes can you also make one please ??
That's a very good point! Many people wear scarves here, but I actually rarely do that. A scarf would definitely make you much warmer. The reason why I'm not that into it is because it adds a lot of bulk and it's more of a hassle to take it off and put it back on again when going out (in addition to gloves and hat!) Suprisingly, I've been fine without a scarf.
I arrived in Canada before the pandemic, so unfortunately I'll not be able to share any experiences on this. All I can say is that while it must be an unpleasant experience, it will all be worth it once you start your new life over here!
Sorry I'm not really an expert about that...I would say similar applies. Try to layer a lot than just having one thick layer. That way you can take off layers when it gets to hot and put on another layer when it's colder, to balance the temperature.
Glad you found it useful! I bought these jackets a while ago so I don't have the links. But I' made another video about an awesome winter jacket from Lole, you can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/9ds1qEJZHOY/видео.html
Personally, I think any base material works, as long as there is a 1. It's waterproof, 2. For snowstorms: Has an fur/faux fur extension to keep the snow out. In general, about wool fabrics, make sure you don't have too sensitive skin, because it can get scratchy. Hope that helps!
@@LivinginCanada Thank you. I noticed the pullover does not cover your neck, so how do you keep yourself warm in harsh winters? Also, what material do you recommend?
Usually the high collar of the jacket does it for me (surprisingly!). I just zip it all the way up. When I don't wear the hood, sometime I wear a scarf. I don't have any favourite material, as long as it's not scratchy. I prefer materials that don't require dry cleaning, for sure. Hope that helps!
@@angolic for Canadian winter clothing... for warmth: wool is best, fleece is next, polyester is last. You will learn to read the labels of clothes. Choose high quality wool so it's not scratchy, example: merino wool, smart wool, or even wool blend. Absolutely no cotton. It's bad for cold weather. If you end up overheating and sweating, you will get sick as cotton will stay wet until you finally undress. The purpose of the base layer (she called it first layer) is to wick the sweat, not for insulation. You need it to be either silk, merino wool, wool blend or polyester. But it has to be fitted, meaning the fabric should come in contact with your skin (not loose or baggy) so it can effectively wick the sweat. Your insulation comes from the mid-layer (she called it 2nd layer) and the outer layer. Mid-layer is any long-sleeved top like hoody, sweatshirt, sweater. You can choose thin, medium or thick mid-layer depending on the weather. Your outer jacket has to be windproof and water-resistant/waterproof, and with a hood. Down-filled and wool are best. Choose material with at least 70% wool for best quality and warmth. Insulated lather is also good. Polyester is my last choice. Mitts are warmer than gloves. Scarf or neck gaiters are a must. You can buy insulated, waterproof and windproof pants for extreme weather. For mild weather, use long johns (base layer tights) under jeans or slacks.
Is it cold even inside the houses?? I'm coming to Canada as a student so I'm not very sure if I should pack more of winter clothes or should I also keep normal tees and pajamas to wear at home because it's heated or should I bring winter clothes to wear inside house also?
I would buy most winter clothes here, because there is a wider selection of suitable winter clothing here. I'd suggest to bring enough clothing for 1-2 weeks, and buy the rest here. And yes, it can be cold inside the house to, it depends on how well your place is heated. But you can always layer your clothes for more warmth.
@@mayaj3762 For some reason my legs don't feel cold so I just use the upper-innerwear. But yes, on super cold days (around -20) I sometimes wear stockings under my jeans :-). I do have a pair of uniqlo leggings on they're awesome!

Please, could you do a winter clothing video 4 Men
I’ve been watching your videos recently and they are very impressive the way you tell like systematically and detaily nice and what about men’s winter clothes can you also make one please ??

Love your content… thanks a lot for your helpful videos
Glad you liked the videos!
thanks for the tips. I'm coming next month, surprised you didn't mention wearing a scarf in this cold weather?

what about a neck warmer?
Is it very informative ❤️ Thanks a lot for this video
Glad to hear that!
Can you do a video about flight to canada and the quarantine and 3 days in hotel how we applied with ArriveCAN?
You are gorgeous
I arrived in Canada before the pandemic, so unfortunately I'll not be able to share any experiences on this. All I can say is that while it must be an unpleasant experience, it will all be worth it once you start your new life over here!
@@LivinginCanada yes but you can check and tell us
Hi. Thanks for an amazing informative video. Could you please guide me about dressing for kids (4 years old and 1 year old). We are travelling in Feb
Sorry I'm not really an expert about that...I would say similar applies. Try to layer a lot than just having one thick layer. That way you can take off layers when it gets to hot and put on another layer when it's colder, to balance the temperature.
Hi what's the inner wear brand you're wearing ?

You're welcome, greetings from Toronto!!
Well-constructed video as usual. BTW, have you posted a clip about shoes yet? I can't seem to find it.
I haven’t (I guess you mean winter shoes?) But that’s an interesting topic to cover, will think about that, thank you!
@@LivinginCanada Yeah, because you mentioned in 10:48 that you will have another video about that 😃
Thanks for the video, it was super useful !
Can u send me the link to both the winter coats pls
Glad you found it useful! I bought these jackets a while ago so I don't have the links. But I' made another video about an awesome winter jacket from Lole, you can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/9ds1qEJZHOY/видео.html
How about living in Winnipeg 😅😅
Hi, Can you share what size you bought for that Nautica Puffer Jacket? I am planning to buy it first time online, so need to get some Idea.
I think it was S, I don't have it anymore so I can't check, sorry!
Thanks for the information. Can you tell me what Brand is the beanie from?
You're welcome! I don't remember the brand (I don't have the beanie anymore) but I got it at winners! They might have them again this year.
What's the size of uniqlo thermal
I think they start at XS and go up to XL, there could be smaller/larger sizes though. I usually go for S.
Thank you for sharing. Must the hoodies be fleece/wool, or can it be cotton/polyester?
Personally, I think any base material works, as long as there is a 1. It's waterproof, 2. For snowstorms: Has an fur/faux fur extension to keep the snow out. In general, about wool fabrics, make sure you don't have too sensitive skin, because it can get scratchy. Hope that helps!
