This weekend past Dean and I were out for paddle in -8C weather with the wind chill minus, minus. We were dressed for it but even so there are small things we did to make it quite comfortable.
A friend recently told me about a conversation he had with a person working here, originally from Norway. When asked how he felt about the weather he replied "There is no bad weather, only bad clothing." Very insightful I thought and so true. Regardless of the weather we can always dress for it, be it cold, wet or whatever.
We have the same saying in Austria... Very true!
ReplyDeleteI have two things to cover weather wise: footwear for dry feet when in camp and a cag to stay dry. I think if I cover these two I'll be much more oomfortable in wet weather.

the right clothing is needed for sure... but you got to have some knowledge and common sense too, and as we were reminded last night at the seminar, a bit of luck is always handy too...
ReplyDeleteA bit of good luck is indeed very important, especially when we make bad decisions.
