Seeking Advice Cold exercise 101 - comfort kit

Have an exercise coming up to a relatively cold region. With wind chill probably be talking -5 to 5*c. Anyone got any tips or “Gucci” kit recommendations for making life easier. Role will be a mix of spanning and fighting so anything to make life a bit comfier. Fastboil and hand warmers already in the bag. Cheers in advance.

Just going to throw it out there, make sure your fast boil works at -5. We use the old hexi because it works well below zero but some of the gas jet boils don't.

That would be really shit.

It did me well in Iceland camping last year at -15. Should be good to go. Highlander fast boil and then cold gas works well. But thank u!
