Do not, under any circumstances, travel if a heavy snowstorm or bliz-
zard is approaching. You should also avoid traveling when the wind, which
can create bitterly cold temperatures, is strong.
Protect your eyes from the sun’s UV rays with either sunglasses or ski goggles. If you don’t
have protective lenses, fashion what you can out of birch bark, paper, or any other fabric.
Just leave a couple of horizontal slits to see through.
Because you can see through a solar blanket, you can use a piece of one to protect your
eyes if you don’t have sunglasses.
