Love camping but can't stand the cold? With autumn just over, does your desire to camp have to wait until the New Year? Of course not! Master these winter camping tips to stay warm and have fun in Hong Kong this December !

Dressing tips: Onion style

Fight the cold with layering techniques: wear a light and warm base layer first, then a thick and windproof coat. This not only provides more warmth but also adds a sense of visual depth.

The temperature swings in Hong Kong during winter are truly astonishing! Sunny days can see temperatures drop by as much as 8-10 degrees Celsius compared to nighttime. So, you need to dress appropriately for the time of day. During the day, when the sun is shining, a warm vest and a windbreaker are all you need. In the afternoon and evening, add a mid-layer. At night, wrap yourself in a down vest, still wearing the windbreaker for protection.

Finally, bring accessories such as hats, scarves and gloves to enhance the overall look and provide extra warmth. It’s like adding a cute protective shield to yourself, keeping you warm and fashionable!

Deformed canopy increases windbreak: herringbone canopy construction method

Have you ever thought about turning a canopy into your ultimate windbreak? Try hanging one side of the canopy directly into the ground. Simply shorten the guy ropes and nail one side of the canopy flat against the ground to block the wind! Of course, depending on the size of the canopy, consider whether you need to reduce the number of posts. Adjust the length appropriately, around 1.5 to 2 meters. Don't forget to nail the other end into the ground, either! This method requires a canopy that's large enough and of the right length to be successful. If there's enough room at the back, you can shorten the tail posts even further for even greater wind protection!

Don't just bring a sleeping bag, a mat is the best way to keep warm

When it comes to keeping warm, people often think of buying a thicker sleeping bag first. But in fact, mattresses and floor mats can isolate direct contact with the ground and are also a great way to keep warm. If you can put a moisture-proof mat to reduce the cold air from the ground and transfer it to the floor mat, the effect will be better.

Warming up around a bonfire

Is there anything better than a warm dinner on a winter night?

Burning wild food, hot pot, charcoal rack, and wood campfire are all highly recommended options for camping. At night, putting one or two gas lamps or candle lamps will not only emit light but also generate heat.

Enjoy winter camping in Hong Kong – remember to bring these warming tips!
