How To Dress For The Wilds
Simon Ellar, the editor of Bush craft and Survival Skills magazine , shows VideoJug users how to dress for the wilds. Taking us through every aspect of clothing needed to remain comfortable in the wilds, this Video will help you keep warm and dry when dressed for the countryside.
Step 1: Boots
Wear good quality, strong boots to deal with rough terrain. Accompany with good quality woollen socks that do not chafe.
Step 2: Trousers
Trousers should be comfortable, and waterproof if necessary. At the very least they should be quick drying.
Step 3: Jacket
Your jacket should waterproof, and preferably made of natural fabrics. This will be safer around fires
Step 4: Layers
Wear at least a base layer, mid layer, and outer layer. A couple of cotton shirts, and a canvas one on top should be enough.
Step 5: Other items
Wear a scarf around your neck, and always take a hat, as you lose about 90% of your body heat through the head.
