During winter, with or without snowshoes, getting around is always longer and more tiring, due to snow and cold. Days are also shorter, and you don\u2019t want to get caught walking too far out in the dark.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span>Finding your way can also get tricky when landmarks may be covered in snow. Remember to be safe and vigilant.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span>Speaking of safety, take the time to assess potential risks of the cold season. We\u2019re not only talking about avalanches, but also holes that may have been covered by snow and thus, no longer visible at first glance. A tree root may trip you up, and keep your eyes peeled for icy conditions as well.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span>It\u2019s also crucial to stay hydrated \u2013 so an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/shop?q=insulated+bottles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insulated bottle<\/a> containing a warm beverage is a good idea (keep it in the bottom of your bag to avoid it becoming frozen). It\u2019s more difficult to recognize thirst during the colder months, so be wary about this. Also consider slipping some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/camping\/camp-kitchen\/food\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">snacks<\/a> in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/outdoor-gear\/bags\/backpacks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">backpack<\/a>.\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/outdoor-gear\/orienteering\/lighting \" style=\"orange\" size=\"<span>medium<\/span>\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop - Head Lamps[\/stag_button] [stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/outdoor-gear\/orienteering\/gps-navigation \" style=\"orange\" size=\"<span>medium<\/span>\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop -\u00a0 GPS[\/stag_button] [stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/outdoor-gear\/bags\/hydration \" style=\"orange\" size=\"<span>medium<\/span>\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop -\u00a0 Hydration[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Don\u2019t forget anything<\/h2>\r\n<span>\r\nTo conclude, in addition to snowshoes and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/shop?q=ice+cleats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ice cleats<\/a>, don\u2019t forget to pack: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/outdoor-gear\/hiking\/hiking-poles-parts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">walking poles<\/a>, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/outdoor-gear\/bags\/hydration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insulated bottle<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/camping\/camp-kitchen\/food\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">healthy snacks<\/a> (nuts, granola bars, dried fruit, dark chocolate), a change of clothes and socks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/outdoor-gear\/orienteering\/lighting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">headlamp<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/outdoor-gear\/orienteering\/gps-navigation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GPS<\/a> or a trail map, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/shop?q=first+aid+kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first-aid kit,<\/a> a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/shop?q=satellite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">satellite or cellular communication device<\/a>, camera, tissues, lip balm and moisturizer, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/outdoor-gear\/winter-sports\/heating-accessories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hand &amp; foot heaters<\/a>.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span>\r\nWinter hiking means technical clothing to keep you warm!
