Cold Weather Clothing

I have visions of the Michelan man attacking the Wisconsin snow in his driveway.

Close resemblance!

Longjohns, heavy buckskin over layers, fur hat and wooly chaps...good into the -30's... ....Badger wears fur year round.

Looking good roper, and warm too!

That's awesome RR.

I just received my replacement charger for my battery operated gloves. They are the best gloves I've ever had, batteries or not. They are toasty when operated with batteries. I've needed them for deer hunting and couldn't wait to get the replacement charger.

I had been using a pair of Zippo electric hand warmers. I tried the fuel versions, but they were not up to Zippo standards. The electronic warmers have worked 6 out of 6 tries so far. They can also be used as chargers for a phone or what not. Haven't tried them for that. I slipped them into my boots the other day. Mixed results.

I recently changed out that rabbit fur hat for a beaver one...night and day difference. Especially in the wet snow. Repels water very well. But not hard to figure out since rabbits live in the dirt and beavers in the water.

I put a long sleeve T shirt on the other day, winter here ain't nuthin like Washington state.

Love down and synthetics. Since I have a slight allergy to wool, I avoid it if I can-definitely avoid skin contact.

30 some years ago I trained for ski patrol and nearly every week the wind chill was close to -40. Down, layers and synthetic insulation were my friend.

Deer hunting in N Wisconsin in about 1986 it was -20 without wind chill and there was a wind. Slept overnight in the Ramcharger and after one night decided a motel would be a worthwhile investment. Wore ski bibs sorrels and a down coat. Fell through the ice on the slew up to my waist and immediately pulled myself out. I never got cold because the water froze before it had a chance to soak through the bibs.

Ski Patrol.

Sounds like a short lived 1950s TV show.
