Merino wool is by far my favourite fabric for playing outside 🏔️ It takes forever to smell bad, so I can wear the same layer for days 🥳 
Wool is naturally antimicrobial and antibacterial!! so you can wear wool clothing for many days without it smelling bad, which is not the case for synthetic garments..
 It keeps me warm when it’s cold ❄️ without that clammy feeling synthetic gives you and it feels soft and natural on my skin instead of slick and plasticky 🐑 
The one downside is that it takes longer to dry than synthetic… and staying dry on cold days when you stop moving is quite important to not freeze !
 Here’s how I take care of it so it keeps wicking well:
🧴 Use a wool-specific detergent 🚫 Skip the fabric softener 💧 Wash cold on a gentle cycle 🌬️ Lay it flat to dry, never in the dryer

👇One of the most epic winter experiences in my opinion:)  More info on it:
📍Lac Saint-Jean Classic 32 km crossing across the width of the lake 🎿

Where to park and leave your cars 🚗
* Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon welcome center
* Roberval Marina 
For ice conditions, two helpful Facebook groups:
* Pêche sur glace Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean
* Camping hiver Saguenay 
Navigation 🧭 Save a GPS point on your watch (or GPS) where you leave a car at the finish. When you set off from the other side of the lake, select that saved point under “Navigation” on your Garmin and choose “Go To” Bring compasses as a backup! There’s also cell service the whole way across. 
For a speed reference, we went between 3.5 and 5.5 km/h at a relaxed pace, so it’s very doable in 2 days (Many people do it in 3 if they start late on day 1 and finish early on day 3) 
Gear rentals:
• Locapaq has everything you need for winter camping in Montreal
• Boutique Hors-Circuits has everything you need for skis and boots in Saguenay 
Watch out for “hot spots” on the lake where the ice is thinner or doesn’t freeze. Keep an eye on river mouths on the map 🗺️ 
Don’t forget the key to the car parked at the finish 🔑 ice screws to anchor your tent ⛺️ and a brush to clear frost off your gear! 
Hope this helps a few of you make the crossing :)
