Mountain Winter Tips

An unintentionally long video with five general tips, and 6 equipment tips about being in the mountains during winter. Very few people will watch this video, but I felt obligated to make it for some reason. If your new to the outdoors, I'd point you to this video by Clay Hayes first, he does a very good job explaining how layering works. I don't get into that.
