Bob is going hiking in the mountains this weekend. The weather shows it will get down to 15 degrees and it may snow. What clothing should he wear? What should he have in his backpack?

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

At 15 degrees, exposure to cold elements can lead to hypothermia. Bob should wear a winter coat and lined pants, as well as snow gloves to avoid frostbite. A beanie or hoodie to cover the head is a must. A lined fleece neckwarmer to cover the face and neck will be helpful as well. Appropriate shoes/boots that are water resistant.

He should have some emergency supplies in his backpack. These may include an emergency blanket, avalanche kit, tent, and sleeping bag appropriate for 15-degree weather. He should also have non-freezable food items or instead material to start a fire.
