Autumn is the best season in the forest: no bugs, empty trails and golden light. It is also when first-timers find out how cold a clear night can get. Here is how our rangers stay warm.<\/p>\n

Layer like an onion<\/h2>\n

A thin merino base layer, a fleece mid layer and a windproof shell beat one thick jacket every time. Add or remove a layer before you sweat, not after.<\/p>\n
