Mittens (벙어리 장갑) Steps 1. Plan to wear several layers to trap heat your body is generating and to stay cozy. Supply yourself with a thermal underwear base, a second layer of micro-fleece, and a wind and waterproof outer layer. 2. Pack essential winter hiking clothing, a warm hat, and a scarf to prevent warm air escaping from the head or openings around the neck of the coat. Choose mittens to keep the fingers together and warmer. 3.Stock synthetic shirts, pants, and socks -- to be worn under wool ones -- that dry fast. Cotton absorbs up to 60 percent of its weight in water, so you need a material that keeps your skin dry and contains the heat. 4. Help protect your feet further by finding a quality pair of gaiters to guard against getting a shoe full of snow when you misjudge the depth of a drift. 5. Select strong but lightweight aluminum snowshoes to stay on top of the snow pack and add cleats for the toe and heel for the best traction in rough terrain. Snow poles may help your balance and aid in pushing off. 6. Make a list of essentials to complete your packing for survival in uncertain weather. Include a map, compass, and sunglasses for blinding snow in bright sun. Keep a fully charged cellphone in a pocket and stuff snacks and bottled water in the backpack. TIP: Let people know where youre going to be, even if youre confident of handling the risks. Did you know: As of 2010, the coldest temperature ever recorded was minus 129 degrees Fahrenheit in Antarctica in July 1983.
