'''Hitchhiking in winter''' or more generally in cold climates can be more complex but with the right preparation one can secure the comfortability of winter traveling, too. This page will detail how to keep warm when travelling in the cold. Extremely dangerous winter climates such as in [[Alaska]], [[Canada]], [[Scandinavia]], [[Russia]], [[Mongolia]] and Northern [[China]] should have extra precautions taken before starting out, and should best be avoided unless you really know what you're doing. Without proper equipment or a place to stay prearranged, you might find yourself in very serious trouble if stuck outside at night.
