Prerequisites
Eager to greet the woods.

For the first week of winter school, we'll practice layering in the cold at Middlesex Fells. We'll meet at MIT at a reasonable hour in the morning, drive over to the Fells, hike for ~2 hours (exact trails around some of the Reservoirs TBD), check out the beauty of winter, and return to MIT with time to spare for the rest of the day.

This is a great time to try out different types of winter clothing and layering along with seeing what snacks work in the cold. We may practice using stoves if there is interest.
