so what if the low is 35 tonight? layer up (merino wool or warm synthetic base layers) and get your sleep system dialed (sleeping pad with high R value, 20 degree bag + extra bag liner). the phrase “snug as a bug in a rug” is actually about me, right now. being able to camp in the cold allows me to enjoy adventures in a wider range of seasons and conditions. this is very important to me.

It’s so cold in my drafty old house and my girlfriend is I think allergic to temperatures above 62 degrees. I have a blue and red wearable sleeping bag from Poler Outdoor Stuff that is so warm and you can even close the bottom of it or put the hood up if you want.

layering up to trek your neighborhood in negative temps is one of the most invigorating things you can do as a human… it reminds me of being in fourth grade and how playing in your back yard felt like The Hatchet. I suggest taking unexplored paths & before you head home pick up an extra hot toddy.

felt the same way, was sick of it. got a flip phone i could slip my sim card into, activated it. first two weeks i was kind of itching for the smartphone and the little dopamine hits. after a while things started changing. i started reading for fun again, my attention span improved significantly, i carried a little journal everywhere to jot down my thoughts. in every room where everyone was on their phones, i felt like i was the only person actually present, paying attention. i found so many beautiful ways to fill the time. strangers praised me for my bravery lol. when i had to drive or go somewhere i didn’t know how to get to i would write down the directions on a post it note and carry it or stick it to the dashboard. you will literally feel smarter for relying on your brain to figure things like this out instead of being on autopilot all the time. you can carry your smartphone around to use as an ipod/pocket camera and in an emergency it will still work on wifi. i asked friends to look things up for me (business hours, weather, traffic, phone numbers) when i was out and about. if people texted me id tell them to call me if they wanted to talk. it was a great decision that only ended bc i did an extended trip abroad where i needed my phone to get by, but i am going to go back to the flip again soon. i highly recommend! nothing compares to flipping a phone shut to hang up a call. it taught me how to enjoy true solitude again. do it!!!

after being raised in a context where you were taught to be hard on yourself, leaning into self-compassion as a way of life in adulthood is truly powerful. hold yourself accountable and give yourself grace when you flounder, both are needed.

“wow i am in so much pain, i feel so ALIVE” “i am grateful to know that i have loved, truly loved” “may i never grow too guarded to feel into the depths of my soul” “all my favorite artists have felt this feeling, i am bound by heartbreak to my fellow humans” “this grief is a process of me returning to myself” if all else fails, watch the clip from call me by your name where the dad talks to his son about heartbreak (linked) keep a journal, be patient, show yourself as much compassion as you possibly can
