We all need a little help to get through life sometimes. From everyday questions to more complex problems, we’re asking the experts to lend us a hand.

Our ask: Help our new Minnesota friends learn how to layer for cold weather

Our professional: Trent Flegel, retail associate and head of repair at Wintergreen Northern Wear in Ely, Minn.
