When the wind claws at the walls, keep the crew together by sticking to a routine, sharing the load, and watching each other’s health. Set up a clear rotation for heating, food, and watch duties, and make short, daily check‑ins to catch fatigue early. A single, steady voice that stays calm under pressure can keep everyone focused and remind them why they’re there. Simple camaraderie—like sharing a hot drink or a quick joke—keeps morale from slipping into the cold.
