Pay attention to keeping warm and prevent hypothermia

Compared with summer hiking, body temperature is easier to drop during winter hiking, and the body is very prone to hypothermia. If it is not handled properly, it can cause more serious consequences. Therefore, you must take proper measures to prevent cold during winter hiking and prevent the risk of hypothermia. The temperature on the snowy mountains sometimes drops below -10℃. At this time, cold protection equipment is essential. Reasonable warmth is very important. In special cases, if you wear light down jackets and wear windproof gloves outside the gloves, it will be more effective. The fingers and toes are the most sensitive to cold, and care should be taken to prevent injury to these parts.
