Housing Equality at Yale!

if you’re going to be outside at night for any significant period of time you really need to be prepare. It is going to be very cold.

In general, wear loose fitting clothing as an outer layer, since warm air will insulate you. You definitely need:

snowproof boots
at least 1 (if not 2) pairs of thick, wool, NOT COTTON socks
multiple layers of pants:
this can include snow pants, under armor/long underwear, sweatpants
something you can be outside of the tent in, and at least long underwear and/or heavy duty sweatpants to sleep in
multiple layers of shirts:
underarmour/long underwear next to skin is better than cotton. Fleeces, down, extra sweatshirts
Jackets: the warmer the better
HAT:
you will need to sleep in a hat, it needs to be warm, and it needs to cover your ears
gloves, scarves, etc. the warmer, more waterproof, and more plentiful the better
A SLEEPING BAG:
we’re trying to collect gear for people, but please try to round up your own (or extra) outdoor gear.

Also bring: tarps, handwarmers if you have them and extra blankets, sleeping pads, etc. things you think would help
