饥饿丛林怎么睡个好觉

just about everybody， i know who spends a good amount of time out in woods has these little tricks or rituals i guess i can call it to getting a better night's sleep it is no surprise that if you get a good night's sleep in the woods， it just makes your experience that much better you get up the next morning， get that cup of coffee and you or tea or hot cocoa or eggs or bacon whatever， it is and your day is just that much better you're not run down you're not tired so today what i wanted to share with everybody was five tips to getting a better night sleep in the woods if you're advanced beginner they're all good tips you're gonna like them tip number one empty your bladder yeah yeah chuckle chuckle ha ha empty your bladder so a couple quick things with this number one i always advise people unless you're super dehydrated and we're just talking about your out recreating the outdoors we're not in that hardcore survival scenario so you're out recreating and it's getting close to bedtime stop drinking fluids stop about an hour before that is going to not put any more water or fluids in your system that you're already drinking that you're later on gonna have to urinate out oh， i can i have to sleep later the second part of that is right before you actually lay down make sure you go to the bathroom get any of those fluids out of you it's just going to prolong how long you can sleep before your bladder fills back up hey， stop peeing on my shelter and in the third part to that is a lot of people wake up in middle of night and they have to pee really bad and they're cold and they just lay there and they're like i don't want to get out of my bag because i'm already cold here's the kicker to that the reason you're cold is because you have all this urine inside you remember our bodies are these just finely tuned machines at least mine is and if we're holding all this excess water that is just waste water our body needs to keep that at ninety eight point five degrees so if i would get up bite the bullet stay cold for a little bit longer urinate get all that flute out of me my body no longer needs to heat that warm and now there's all this extra heat left over that can go elsewhere in my body and warm me back up so it's super important to stop drinking before you're gonna go to bed before you go to bed and then if you do wake up in middle night with the urch to pee and you feel cold get out of the sleep and bag or get out will blank it go p and i guarantee within the next five minute you're probably gonna warm up tremendously and be counting cheap is that what you do now it's counting cheap you get my point you'll be back to sleep that was working now the camera's all fogged up oh all right tip number two layer down don't layer up this seems counterintuitive to so many people they feel like when they're gonna go to bed especially if it starts to get cold that they're gonna put all these layers on because it's gonna make life that much better sleeping that's just not the case the first thing is think about when you're home and you do get a good night's sleep majority time we take off our heavy work clothes and we put on a nice pair of pajamas and we go to bed continue that same ritual when you are in the woods take off those heavy outer layers take off your heavy gloves make sure you take off your footwear at least strip down to your base layer it's gonna make you just more comfortable over all， but second to that is the warmth factor sleeping bags are made specifically to trap our bodies heat inside if we have all these layers on although we are creating heat many times that heat gets diffused throughout those layers and it doesn't allow the sleeping bag to work appropriately think of that sleeping bag as a little cocoon that's just trapping all this heat and all that loft and all them special materials are doing just their magical thing to keep that cocoon nice and hot so closer we are to our base layer the more heat can actually escape our body， but then get trapped inside that bag hence making the bag warmer now if you don't believe me with this i'm not saying go out in negative twenty degrees and try it， but definitely give it a shot you can always get up in the middle of the night and put your heavier clothes back on if that's what you're gonna do， but i've never heard anybody ever tell me that this does not work so i want you to try it because it's gonna work and it's gonna give you a better night's sleep strip down don't keep all your heavy clothes on that was long winded i can't do the hand thing because if uh all right tip number three keep your headlamp close i don't care how advanced you are how hard corey are it's nice in the middle of night when you wake up and it's pitch black and you need to either see why rain is dripping on your head or what is jumping around outside of your tarp to be able to just flick your headlamp on and not have to search all over for it like some maniac so there's two very simple things we can do for this first option which i do all the time but many would probably say it's dangerous is just to pull our headlamp down over our neck now yes， yes， yes you can just you're gonna get strangled i've never been strangled with my headlamp throughout the night， but that is an option it's right there i can just click it i could slide it up on my head when i have to pee or whatever i got to do it's just right there and it doesn't bother me at all， but if that does bother you the second option is to wrap it like a bracelet around your wrist no matter what sleeping position you're in it's not gonna get in the way and if you do need it you're not searching all over the place there's your headlamp boom you hit it on and you are good to go so keep your headlamp close it's gonna make night just that much better kip number four hot water back in the old days i don't even think that old maybe old， i don't eighty years i'm not even gonna take a guess， but they used to use hot water bottles all all the time so what should be different right now we're basically living like we're in the stone age when we go camping anyway minus， the tens of thousands of dollars worth the gear we use to live like homeless people my point being that most of us carry some type of stainless steel or metal water bottle around with us when we go into camp so this works really well if you're prone very cold feet before you go to camp after you stop drinking put your water bottle in the fire now don't bring it to a boil because what we're gonna have to do is place the lid back on boiling water plus a lid plus the rubber gasket that keeps the water in that usually is not a good combination， so just get the water somewhat hot like think a hot tap water coming out of your sink at home your water to that temperature put the lid on slide it to bottom your sleeving bag or inside your will blank it with you that heat from the water is going to help warm you up inside and make your night that much better now you do need to be aware that during this process there is the probability that that water can cool down a lot it's most likely not going to get super cold， but if it does get cold and you just throw it outside your sleeping bag or your will blanket either way it gives you a nice long window of heat and a good opportunity to just sleep a little bit more comfortably that much longer hot water bottle and then tip number five tip number five that was ten five five is that we want to protect our head not only from widowmakers or branches or rain can fall on it， but it's always a great idea to just cover your head we lose so much heat through our head now on the kind of guy that i slide down inside and i sleep in bag or pull my wool blanket up over my head， but sometimes it is nice to get some good fresh air so carrying a very light beanie along with you even a hood is a great idea you can slide it over it's nice， it's airy， it's roomy but it's gonna trap some heat inside it's not gonna let us get as cold it's not gonna allow all that heat to skate through our head and if we wear a big heavy hat because it's super cold weather we're not wearing that big heavy hat to bed so i personally do this just about year round even in the summertime i just put something light on my head and it just makes my night that much more comfortable so that's why it became tip number five and that's it five tips to better night's sleep in the woods so i know everybody has their little ritual and they're a little thing that they do there are some things that i've done and that i currently do to make my night that much more enjoyable while i'm sleeping out here especially as the weather gets cooler so give them a shot i'd love to hear no i'd love to hear no i cannot speak at this point because i gave so many tips i mean it was only five tips but it's still a lot of tips and i get tongue twisted so i would love to know what you guys do and girls right before you go to bed if there's any of those rituals that just make your night that much more comfortable leave them in the comments below and as always checks out a cold
