Warmth

Warmth Gear–Sky North Outfitters x Arcturus Primitive Skills Institute

The Warmth section includes essential gear curated by Sky North Outfitters and field-tested through the curriculum of Arcturus Primitive Skills Institute. These items are selected to preserve core body temperature, prevent hypothermia, and support comfort and resilience in cold, wet, or wind-exposed environments.

Purpose
Retain body heat during exposure, rest, or sleep

Prevent rapid heat loss due to moisture, wind, or inactivity

Provide emergency thermal protection when shelter or fire is unavailable

Arcturus Primitive Skills Institute emphasizes warmth as a survival priority second only to shelter. Gear in this section is chosen for its reliability in Michigan’s variable climate and its adaptability for youth, family, and solo expeditions. Sky North Outfitters sources items that balance packability, durability, and thermal performance—whether for overnight training, expo demos, or treks into the wild.
