Geist
Danish cuisine having a moment, and if you can’t decide where to eat, we suggest Geist, where you’ll find dishes like potato mash with brown stone crab and salted butter. For dessert, try the salted wasabi cream toffee, which sounds strange, but is absolutely amazing.

How to choose the perfect sleeping pad for winter camping (plus, top picks)
Don't go winter camping without a sleeping pad

No matter how thick your winter sleeping bag is, you'll lose the battle with the cold if you don't have a sleeping pad. Sleeping pads serve two very important purposes: insulation and comfort, both of which are critical for winter camping. In this article, we'll explain what to look for when you go out to buy your sleeping pad, as well as our best sleeping pad for winter camping.
What to look for in a sleeping pad for winter camping

What is an R-value?
The resistance value, also known as R-value, is the measure of thermal resistance or the effectiveness of your insulating material. In the context of your sleeping pad, it indicates how well the pad prevents heat loss from your body to the cold ground. The higher the R-value, the more effective your sleeping pad will be at keeping you warm. For winter adventures, we recommend a rating of 4.5 for moderate winter conditions, 5 if you're expecting to see temperatures below freezing.
Types of sleeping pads
Air pads are going to be your best bet if you're looking for something super compact, however they come with some drawbacks. Since they are not super durable, you can accidentally puncture a hole in one fairly easily. Blowing them up by mouth will also introduce moisture into the pad, which can reduce its insulating properties. That said, they're pretty comfortable and you can adjust the firmness by deflating the pad to your preference. Most campers recommend putting down a closed-cell sleeping pad below the air pad to keep it from scraping against the ground.
