In a desperate situation, or in a situation where you just can’t carry much in the way of rainwear or cold-weather clothing, here’s a tip: use a really large trash bag with a hole cut for your head, and wear it to shed rain and wind. Even in relatively mild weather, if you’re wet and exposed to wind, you can suffer hyperthermia. I once had a trash bag, used as just described, turn a potentially dangerous experience while hiking into one where I was actually very comfortable. When hiking, I always take a trash bag for packing out trash. If you take a really large one, it potentially can save your life. But, obviously, it’s best to be fully prepared by having the right clothing and gear.
