Warm sleeping bag
To stay warm while hiking, you should have a warm sleeping bag. There are sleeping bags with different temperature conditions. However, you should note that the figures given by manufacturers are usually measured for the average man wearing thermal underwear and, moreover, do not always correspond to reality. When choosing, look for comfort temperatures rather than extreme temperatures. If it is written that extreme is -20, then this means that at a temperature of -20 you have a chance to spend a night in a sleeping bag without sleep and not die from hypothermia. Read my post on how to choose the right sleeping bag.
Cloth
Change as many clothes as possible. What you've been wearing all day will most likely be a little damp and you'll be cold to sleep. If you are unable to change clothes, try heating and drying your clothes by the fire. An excellent solution would be a set of thermal underwear; it not only warms, but also removes moisture from the skin.
Don’t put on all your existing clothes at once; you risk sweating and freezing all night. It’s better to dress lighter first, and prepare additional things and put them on the side. If you get cold, you can quickly put them on.
Equipment
- Backpack
. For men, optimally 80-120 l, for women 70-80 l. Backpacks with a frame and a waist belt remove 70-95% of the load from the spine and transfer it directly to the legs through the hips. The stiffer the frame and belt, the better the load is removed from the shoulders. All things must fit inside the backpack, because the winter trail often passes through a windfall and you can simply get stuck, and anything attached outside can get wet, get lost and be torn against the bushes.

- Bowl, mug, spoon, knife
. The best choice for a bowl is a plastic container with a lid with a capacity of 0.5 - 1 liter. You can store and transport different products. Mug – stainless steel, 250-400 ml. It is better not to take plastic mugs - they often break and melt. A spoon is an ordinary one, preferably a dessert spoon, made of stainless steel. It is 2 times lighter than a dining room one. It is better not to take wooden and plastic options - they break and burn. A fork and a teaspoon are not needed at all. Knife – you need 2 pieces per group. Ordinary, small folding ones.

- Snowshoes (skis)
. They are selected according to the conditions of the route and the nature of the snow. If the snow on the route is deep, and this is usually known in advance, then it would be good to take snowshoes. Skis - if you have minimal experience in using them. On a long, difficult hike, without sufficient experience, serious problems will arise on the ascents and descents, so be very careful when choosing your equipment.

- Trekking poles
. The poles significantly reduce the load on the ankle, knees and spine. They also help to maintain balance on descents and ascents. They are very helpful when traversing a slope. In the parking lot they serve as racks for awnings and tents.

- Raincoat, cape for backpack
.
Even in winter, rain is not uncommon. For a hike, it is better to use a special larger poncho made of light synthetic fabric with impregnation to throw over warm clothes. The best option is a warm suit with a membrane. And for a backpack you need a raincoat or a special cape, which often comes with the backpack. An excellent option is a raincoat Poncho
- Thermos
. During the day we do not heat water for lunch. Therefore, hot drinks should be prepared at breakfast and carried in a thermos.

- Flashlight
. Rechargeable headlamp. Even if you don’t have one, be sure to buy it. It is best to use one powerful LED and with the ability to install batteries instead of a battery. When transporting or carrying a backpack, remove the batteries or battery from the flashlight to prevent accidental activation. Why is there a battery in the flashlight? Because in the cold the batteries discharge slower. Nowadays there is a large selection of external batteries for recharging gadgets, which help out if you need to charge a flashlight. It makes sense to take batteries with you in reserve.
