An idea from Walden

Your body needs 4 things in a cold climate: food, shelter, clothing, and fuel, all to keep you warm. Most extras past that hold you back. Before a new venture, “beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes.”

From Walden by Henry David Thoreau
