Includes life saving information on staying warm and hypothermia, packing, and clothing selection. Also information you need to know about special steps to take with food, water, sanitation, first aid, sleep systems, shelter, emergencies, and training for cold-weather camping. And to save you money it has info on how to make your own equipment. Very good little book. Published by the Boy Scouts of America so this information is put to the test every winter.
