class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hypothermia occurs when your body loses heat faster than it can produce it, causing your core temperature to drop below 95\u00b0F (35\u00b0C). It doesn\u2019t take an Arctic expedition for this to happen\u2014wet clothes, brisk winds, or exhaustion on a chilly night can lead to dangerous cooling. This condition can progress quickly, making it an essential risk in any kind of cold climate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"what-happens-to-your-body-during-hypothermia\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_to_Your_Body_During_Hypothermia\"><\/span><b>What Happens to Your Body During Hypothermia<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As your body&#8217;s core temperature begins to drop, hypothermia progresses through distinct stages, each with its own set of symptoms. Initially, when your core temperature falls just below the normal 98.6\u00b0F (37\u00b0C), you may start shivering. This is your body&#8217;s attempt to generate more heat. You might also experience fatigue, loss of coordination, and confusion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your body temperature dips further, hypothermia will advance. Get below 95\u00b0F (35\u00b0C) and shivering may stop, a worrying sign of severe hypothermia. In this stage, muscular strength declines, slow and shallow breathing can occur, and the heartbeat may become irregular.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below 82\u00b0F (28\u00b0C), the risk of unconsciousness intensifies, and the body will start to suffer organ failure. At this point, you need to get medical attention urgently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that being said, it&#8217;s not difficult to stay warm, and the risk is heavily reduced with some common sense tactics. In a nutshell, good preparation is 90% of the battle when it comes to avoiding hypothermia.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29815\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/How-to-Avoid-Hypothermia-During-Late-Fall_1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/How-to-Avoid-Hypothermia-During-Late-Fall_1.webp 512w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/How-to-Avoid-Hypothermia-During-Late-Fall_1-500x334.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/How-to-Avoid-Hypothermia-During-Late-Fall_1-510x342.webp 510w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/How-to-Avoid-Hypothermia-During-Late-Fall_1-380x254.webp 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2 id=\"key-tips-for-avoiding-hypothermia\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Tips_for_Avoiding_Hypothermia\"><\/span><b>Key Tips for Avoiding Hypothermia\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the advice of someone who has been cold to the point of shivering uncontrollably, once hypothermia starts to set in it becomes very difficult to act on your own. One key thing I recommend is always taking a buddy with you on late fall\/winter trips &#8211; not only does it help combat the silence of the season at night, but you also have someone to look out for you if need be (and vice versa).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"check-the-weather-before-you-go\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_the_Weather_Before_You_Go\"><\/span><b>Check the Weather Before You Go<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might sound obvious, but it&#8217;s something to check frequently. Weather can shift dramatically in late fall and winter, and a jacket designed for 40\u00b0F won\u2019t save you in freezing temperatures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more time you spend outdoors, the more you will start to notice how the weather changes, especially in areas you frequent, where the weather patterns will be more predictable for you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"dressing-in-layers\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dressing_in_Layers\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dressing in Layers<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clothing acts as your first line of defense against hypothermia, so choose wisely. The secret? Layering, with thin, versatile layers.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Base Layer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Opt for moisture-wicking materials like merino wool or synthetic fabrics to keep sweat away from your skin. Probably one of the most important steps.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Insulating Layer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This is your warmth booster. Go for fleece or down jackets to trap body heat.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Outer Layer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: A waterproof and windproof shell protects you from wind, rain, or snow (bonus points if it\u2019s breathable, too).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid cotton, as it retains moisture and dries slowly, making it a disaster for maintaining body heat. Wool will keep you warm, even when wet but can also make you prone to sweating, so be aware of your body temperature.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29817\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/How-to-Avoid-Hypothermia-During-Late-Fall_3.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/How-to-Avoid-Hypothermia-During-Late-Fall_3.webp 512w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/How-to-Avoid-Hypothermia-During-Late-Fall_3-500x333.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/How-to-Avoid-Hypothermia-During-Late-Fall_3-510x341.webp 510w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/How-to-Avoid-Hypothermia-During-Late-Fall_3-380x253.webp 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"stay-dry-at-all-costs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stay_Dry_at_All_Costs\"><\/span><b>Stay Dry at All Costs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wet clothes are the kryptonite to staying warm. Whether it\u2019s from sweat, rain, or snow, moisture speeds up heat loss through evaporation. Constantly monitor your layers for dampness, and change into dry clothes immediately if anything gets wet. In many cases bring an extra set or two of clothes for you to change into if things get a bit soggy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"fuel-your-internal-furnace\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fuel_Your_Internal_Furnace\"><\/span><b>Fuel Your Internal Furnace<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your body burns calories to generate heat, so staying nourished and hydrated is critical. Throughout the day, munch on high-calorie snacks like trail mix, jerky, or energy bars to keep your metabolism cranking. At night, warm meals like soup or pasta work double duty by packing calories and warming you up.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t forget water, even when you don\u2019t feel thirsty. Dehydration makes your body work harder to maintain a stable temperature. In the winter you can lose a significant percentage of moisture just because the air is drier in the dead of winter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of these things help your body regulate its body temperature without struggling. In the colder climates, your body needs to work harder to maintain its temperature, unlike in the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"choose-your-campsite-wisely\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_Your_Campsite_Wisely\"><\/span><b>Choose Your Campsite Wisely<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where you set up camp will impact how warm you stay overnight. Stake your tent in a sheltered area, away from strong winds and moisture-heavy low points like riverbanks or valleys. Cold air likes to fall so if you are camping in a low point, it will be colder. If snowfall is in the forecast, look out for tree-branch hazards.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something underneath you won&#8217;t hurt either. It can be as simple as a tarp, or as sophisticated as a rug or mat. The idea is to introduce a thermal break between your feet and the ground for added insulation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"pick-the-right-sleeping-gear\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pick_the_Right_Sleeping_Gear\"><\/span><b>Pick the Right Sleeping Gear<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleeping bags are like armor against nighttime chills, but choosing the wrong one can end in a sleepless, teeth-chattering night. Select a sleeping bag rated for temperatures lower than what you expect on your trip. Better to be over-prepared than stuck layering all your clothes for warmth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pick a mummy-style bag if the temperatures go below freezing. A mummy bag keeps your body parts close to each other so that generating heat is easier. You want the sleeping bag to have some room inside for your arms and legs to move, but not enough that you cannot warm the entire bag.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of if you&#8217;re sleeping on the ground or on a cot, use an insulated sleeping bag. Closed-cell foam mats are the best option, but an inflatable winter pad with a foam pad is the most effective.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"stay-active-but-dont-overdo-it\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stay_Active_But_Don%E2%80%99t_Overdo_It\"><\/span><b>Stay Active, But Don\u2019t Overdo It<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving keeps your blood circulating, generating warmth as you go. But sweaty clothing is your enemy in freezing temperatures. Strike a balance by staying active enough to maintain heat without overexertion.

This, of course, was an extreme case, but a clear indication that something was wrong.
