BIVOUAC CLOTHING
At the bivouac, the real coldness always comes from the ground and not the air. Therefore, you should be sure the ground you lie on is well insulated against the cold. Either spread out thick layers of newspaper, or make a bed from dried twigs, hay, straw or leaves.
You do not have to dress like an Eskimo, but it is important to wear woolen clothing next to your skin. In addition, loosen all clothing which is too tight (belts, elastic sock tops, etc.). Before going to sleep always put on dry clothing, including fresh underwear. Even if you have not been drenched in the rain, your skin always loses just enough moisture, completely unnoticeable to you, so that you can get very cold in the early morning hours. A complete change of clothing helps prevent this.
