Passport to Texas

This is Passport to Texas

In summer when we can predict long days of heat and drought, but winter isn’t so predictable. So, when you plan a cool weather camping trip, it’s a little harder to know how to dress.

State Park Guide, and Passport style guru, Bryan Frazier, says to definitely pack a warm coat.

Just in case. You never know what the weather is going to exactly do. But, what you want to remember is, when you are in the out of doors, it’s probably smarter to start out with lots of thin layers. You’re talking about days that may have 30, 40, 50 degree temperatures swings from morning to evening. So, if you find yourself cook, in the morning, you may find yourself warm in the afternoon. So, take those layers that come off easily and comfortably. Wear comfortable clothes; moisture wicking clothes and t-shirts are very good to keep you dry, to keep you warmer. And also remember, even though it’s winter time, you want your sunscreen; you want your sunhat, especially here in Texas. We get a lot of reflective light when we’re out camping or out on the water. So, make sure you take that as well.

Thanks, Bryan.
