No, The coat is 1k and the hybridge jacket is $600, the pants are $200 so I am wearing about $4,000 in gear. When going up to -50 degrees, you really need to wear high quality gear. Deb didn't have the same Canada Goose Coat as I did and she had to rent theirs because her coat was not rated to cold enough. Their coat cost about the same. If you are going on a polar bear safari or Arctic expedition, the company (at least any good company that cares about safety) will inspect your gear to make sure it will withstand the snow. Canada Goose was made for the north, it was only recently adopted for fashion.
I suggest also a neck gaiter, wristies, and also a fleece scarf to wrap around to block and keep the wind off the face. Key is to keep the air off the skin and if anything is cold, add another layer. Get beanies of different sizes and thickness so you can layer 3 or 4 of them.
May I ask how is it possible that you have never seen snow after watching this video? I presume you mean you've never experienced snow? Even so, How's this possible?
One of my best memories is of winter hiking along the St. Lawrence River one Christmas. We rented a cabin at Wellesley Island State Park and explored the trails around the island. We had all the right gear----------lots of fleece! We could be out most of the day and still not get cold. That's about as far North as I would want to go. The wind!
Seriously best video thank you !!! I’m an Aussie who now lives in London and finding it very difficult in winter, this has given me great tips haha thank you honestly !
I am a diabetic. I get cold below 40 degrees F, and frigid at 20. These are great tips for people with circulation problems already. Although as a Diabetic, I have to be really careful with toe and hand warmers.
Tip: use waterproof socks. They are incredibly thin for the heat they retain. I don't get on with boots - so I bought an Altra Lone Peak 4 waterproof trail runner. I use Dark Tough's as my inner sock, Seal Skinz as my outer socks and the trainer. That's it. Just buy a little over sized. Went for a hike for 4 hours in 20 below C last week in Montreal and my feet were toasty warm without being uncomfortable. If you get cold feet you can add another water proof sock. I know that's not sub 40 but a pretty handy tip for warmer days. For sub 40 I'd still think it'd work - you might have to buy 2 sizes bigger but just keep adding socks - it's just so much comfier than big heavy boots. Oh and you stop snow ingress into your shoe with gaiters. Even if you have an accident and your shoe gets wet - you have multiple layers of waterproof socks.
@@leonzhang7821 im not sure if hes joking, i see indian people here in edmonton do that (most likely their first year here). I have seen people at bus stops in flip flops doing weird dances (vain attempt to get warm). Some people underestimate how cold the cold is because they spend all their time in the city and go from a warm car to building most times.
Much respect from Minnesota! I work outside year round and we will be out in -10°F during the winter, but you guys are nuts going on a nature walk in -50°F lol
my Extreme Weather clothing 1. BASE LAYERS-> are ALL polyester.

Your Base Layer section is not fully correct. You're confusing wool for cotton. NEVER WEAR COTTON in winter if you're outdoors. Wool is a natural moisture wicking material, extremely warm & an added bonus is that it also contains natural properties that prevent odours, unlike synthetics & especially polyester. This is why Marino wool is always highly suggested, for any layer that goes against your skin. Marino wool isn't itchy like regular sheep wool, almost as soft as cashmere.
Yeah, I know a lot of folks like Merino wool but any kind of wool will hold more moisture than good polyester base layers. But the "stink factor" of polyester has never been a problem with my layers. In fact I don't like the smell of "sweat wet" wool, thus my preference for polyester base layers. But DO pay attention to my advice for 3 mm neoprene divers socks VBLs to keep felt pacs dry, very important in extreme cold.
@@Stilez lel my comment disappeared. look up ventile. even just normal cotton jackets exist out there though and are used in the scandanavian region. they aren't very common in the US but yeah they exist and are useful. don't bash ppl when u urself don't know things -_-
I do have a question because you seem to really know what your talking about, I hope you reply. With merino wool do you think any brand merino wool is ok or is icebreaker the best as they are pretty expensive
You should buy the best gear you can afford for the conditions you're going into. Don't be cheap. Save an extra month or two and get what you really need. That way you don't have to buy it twice.
ooh, have fun That is going to be an adventure. And yep, you'll have to dress warm! What does he think the temperature will be? What a difference from sunny Arizona. We look forward to hearing about your experience.
We get our music from Epidemic Sound. www.epidemicsound.com/ I can't remember the name of this track, but I usually search inspirational music. I really like Gavin Luke's compositions, so it could be him. I'll search my hard drives to find it for you, but it definitely came from EpidemicSound. Cheers!
I'm a motorcyclist and whenever i see polar expeditions footage i always wonder why don't they just use some kind of enclosed helmet. I mean, even normal modular helmets are well insulated, and you can open the fron, and its visor has double pan plastic shield. I'm sure it would be feasible to manufacture something similar but for extreme cold use. Also, considering current technological advancement, why can't we have proper heated suit, with a battery? :D
DerpEye I guess you could do that, but I'm pretty sure it would be more heavy and bulky than the illustrated method. Also, there are heated jackets for construction workers who have to do a lot of repeated start-stop or in and out activities. Not sure if they're powerful enough to heat for -40, but I wouldn't want to trust them for these low temperatures since batteries die in the cold , leaving you essentially naked in -40 and wind
I've ridden to the North Slope more than once in a variety of conditions and my helmet did a great job of keeping my head warm. So yeah, Helmets works great above the Circle for providing warmth.
@@thepassionofthegoose5472 yeah, I don't doubt that. I was just thinking that it might be heavier than what they showed. If you were riding a bike or any other of the flat handled bar vehicle variety, I'm sure it didn't matter, since you'd already be wearing one in warmer temperatures
That's a great idea. But when walking, we do work up a sweat and actually take our hats off. A light hat helps to let the heat out when moving in the cold.
haha! Yes indeed. When it is freezing it is all about the layering. If you are not doing any activity a parka works, but layers are recommended for moving around, hiking and outdoor fun
Coming from a country where average temperature all year around 25°C - 37°C. Watching this video where people have to put layers of clothes around their body is fascinating and perplexing at the same time.
I wear a layer of light gloves that are smart phone compatible. You really need mittens in that cold of weather to keep the fingers warm and then when I need to photograph, I take off the mittens and have a thin layer glove to manipulate my controls.
It is very important to be aware of bears. Especially polar bears. Chances of anything happening are very slim, but we did our tour with experienced guides that know how to read if a polar bear is aggressive or if it will allow us into their space. We have been within 100 metres of a polar bear and it barely gave us the time of day.
@@ThePlanetD thanks, I was wondering as someone appeared to have a slung rifle. So I guess not all bears hibernate all winter? also, would it not be better to all carry a can of bear spray? (in case one has to leave the group to attend the call of nature) or with those high winds the spray is not that useful?
Our dogs would never sleep outside. But all our neighbors dogs. It doesn’t matter the kind, they all sleep outside. I think since Facebook more of the folks in our area are starting to bring animals in.
this is how to dress with unlimited funds. i've worn much cheaper clothing than this in similar conditions. i like to splerge on the merino too though because it's great stuff. i use wool mittens as well although they aren't merino. the big thing is the wind though, keep a shell of some kind for your hands because high winds will cut straight through wool gloves.
I would like to ask how low were "similar conditions" Deb had a coat that she brought that wasn't rated quite as warm as mine but she uses it regularly for -20 to -35 degrees. and they didn't let her use it. She had to rent theirs. So, you can dress like this without unlimited funds if you are going on an arctic safari or expedition, all you have to do is rent the clothing. It wasn't the same name brand, but it was the exact same quality. Expedition coats are unfortunately all similar in price.Canada Goose has been around for decades and we even used their coast when we worked in the film industry in the 90s while shooting in the Canadian outdoors. When it is -50 it is an entirely new level of cold. Especially when spending a couple of hours outside. Neither of our boots were rated to cold enough and we both rented ours for the week. It's a whole new level of cold in the Arctic. Wool mittens are a great base layer and you are very right, you need an outer shell to lock in the heat, otherwise frost bite will set in.
@@ThePlanetD ive worn a $65 llbean coat with base layers underneath down to -20 before. -50 yeah idk. i've watched ray mears before though in the arctic and i find it hard to believe he's wearing $1000 jackets this is it: www.backpacker.com/gear/gear-review-l-l-bean-goose-down-jacket not sure it's buyable anymore though for more spendy though i've worn this stuff as the base layer before and it's very good: woolpowerus.com/ullfrotte-original-tops/. since then tho i've largely replaced it with minus33 cuz it's too spendy. even though minus33 is not quite as warm
@@dynamo3059 Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, that jacket wouldn't work on its own in this weather. It would be a great mid-layer though and then you would need an outer layer to keep the wind out. As far as Ray Mears, I Beleive he wears traditional clothing, (Anoraks which have traditionally been worn by First Nations) They start at about $500 CAD. We have worn on another expedition that we've done in the Arctic Watershed of Northern Ontario. theplanetd.com/veil-winter-15-images-define-northern-ontario/ With a base and mid-layer, plus the Anorak outer layer, it's great for doing outdoor activity. You make very valid points and it is important to discuss and learn from each other. I just don't want anyone going up North with the wrong gear. You can definitely strip down to that down jacket while walking or cross country skiing or while doing work I've (Deb) actually trekked in just my base layers, but you do need the heavy duty jacket for when the trekking stops and when you are standing still for amwhile. On a polar bear safari, there is a lot of standing while watching wildlife. Those look like great base layers you shared, and that is about what we paid for ours too. Regarding the down jacket, the words on the link state "nights dipped below freezing." It looks great for a regular winter trek mid layer. Cheers!
@@ThePlanetD yeah, i just think there is a disconnect from price and warmth on a lot of stuff. i recently bought a $200 down jacket from outdoor research call the ascendent. it's pretty good but it's not as warm as that down jacket i got like 10 years ago. funny enough though it has never gotten cold enough for me to put on that 600 base layer and 200 with the down jacket, even at -20. i'd be super curious to see how long i could last in -50 haha. interestingly enough though over yakutsk it reaches around that and people are just wearing normal clothes outside. that being said they likely aren't outside for all that long edit: i measured it at one point and combined the two are about 6mm in thickness
@@dynamo3059 Yes, you definitely don't need to go "name brand". You certainly pay more for that. Dave had his Canada Goose parka since before Canada Goose became fashionable but that coat has always been expensive. I remember working in the film industry in the 1990s wishing I could afford one. All the producers, actors and director wore them and they looked so toasty warm compared to myself freezing my butt off. Haha!
Thekidisalright, there is a city in russia called Yakutsk, here it is usual to be -55C outside. If you are amazed by swedes, you definitely shouldnt come to Suberia :/
Yep, you do get used to it. Where we live, it goes to -20 in the winter quite regularly and Alberta, Quebec and other provinces dip to -30 - -35 regularly. It's mighty cold. When it gets too cold, you really do need to bundle up. Deb got frost nip by having one small portion of her cheek exposed while taking northern lights and another guy on our trip got frost burn on his nose doing the same thing. Skin can freeze quickly.
base layers of the breakfast of cold weather gear. Dummies like to repeat the mantra that it's the most important when really it's the least. Would you rather have someone drop you off up there in with just a parka and insulated pants or just underwear?
There are many more places to explore. Oh! Life give me chance to explore them.
The world is so huge! I know you'll get the chance. Have a wonderful saturday!

You can definitely strip down to that down jacket while walking or cross country skiing or while doing work I've (Deb) actually trekked in just my base layers, but you do need the heavy duty jacket for when the trekking stops and when you are standing still for amwhile. On a polar bear safari, there is a lot of standing while watching wildlife.
Those look like great base layers you shared, and that is about what we paid for ours too.
Regarding the down jacket, the words on the link state "nights dipped below freezing." It looks great for a regular winter trek mid layer. Cheers!
@@ThePlanetD yeah, i just think there is a disconnect from price and warmth on a lot of stuff. i recently bought a $200 down jacket from outdoor research call the ascendent. it's pretty good but it's not as warm as that down jacket i got like 10 years ago. funny enough though it has never gotten cold enough for me to put on that 600 base layer and 200 with the down jacket, even at -20. i'd be super curious to see how long i could last in -50 haha.
interestingly enough though over yakutsk it reaches around that and people are just wearing normal clothes outside. that being said they likely aren't outside for all that long
edit: i measured it at one point and combined the two are about 6mm in thickness
@@dynamo3059 Yes, you definitely don't need to go "name brand". You certainly pay more for that. Dave had his Canada Goose parka since before Canada Goose became fashionable but that coat has always been expensive. I remember working in the film industry in the 1990s wishing I could afford one. All the producers, actors and director wore them and they looked so toasty warm compared to myself freezing my butt off. Haha!
Now I am even more amazed by the Swedes who just wear a wool coat outside their suits during -the usual 30 degrees Celsius winter.
Thekidisalright, there is a city in russia called Yakutsk, here it is usual to be -55C outside. If you are amazed by swedes, you definitely shouldnt come to Suberia :/
WPG Group who cares about Russia lol, it’s not a completion so don’t be a dumbass
Yep, you do get used to it. Where we live, it goes to -20 in the winter quite regularly and Alberta, Quebec and other provinces dip to -30 - -35 regularly. It's mighty cold. When it gets too cold, you really do need to bundle up. Deb got frost nip by having one small portion of her cheek exposed while taking northern lights and another guy on our trip got frost burn on his nose doing the same thing. Skin can freeze quickly.
*Hits 55 degrees in south Texas*
omg 5:25 with headphones in. my front door is perfectly behind me and thought someone was entering my apartment.

How to dress to survive 180 days of -10 to +5 (24/7)
You should not be sweating in cold weather, as that is how your body cools.
base layers of the breakfast of cold weather gear. Dummies like to repeat the mantra that it's the most important when really it's the least. Would you rather have someone drop you off up there in with just a parka and insulated pants or just underwear?
This has got to be the dumbest comment, probably from someone who's never experienced sever cold conditions.
Just use refrigiwear. You won’t need layers.
I do !
Well Darling I will be in the Canary Islands in my tight Leather Thong and my Factor 50 /rubbing those creams @LL over Honey /
Or just don't go there.
Fair and Good point. But if you dress for it, you can do it and you get to see amazing things like polar bears in the wild :)
I would if I could afford it. Snow is awesome and now add the wildlife and it's a trip of a life time. I would sooner go there than Hawaii! If I could
You should not be teaching people about cold weather because there's bad people that will take this idea and go hide and hurt people
Why am I watching this? I've never even seen snow.
Haha, it's fun to see how we Canadians deal with the snow and cold maybe? What makes us go outside in this crazy weather? I don't know :D
