    Locale: Lots of canoeing and snow

    I’m going to be winter camping this coming January in potentially -30F weather. It may or may not get that cold but I need to be prepared for it. After a lot of backyard testing I’ve found that I can sleep pretty comfortably in those temperatures but I still have two gripes.
    First, I’m tired of breathing in cold air. I made a face mask with fleece, Climashield and silnylon to keep my face warm and to prevent frosting up. It works well but I breathe through slits that don’t warm the air. If I breathe through a fleece neck gaiter it frosts up and drives me nuts. Any solutions? I’ve heard that silk scarves don’t frost up. Is That true?

    Secondly, I always have to pee at least once or twice a night when it’s cold out. I can’t figure out why my body hates me in the winter. I know that others have the same problem. Anyone found a way to kill the urge while sleeping in the winter?
