That, and layers that can breath, be removed, and don't impede movement too much.JJGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708302086326564665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-90663763079247159202017-01-07T13:45:18.433-08:002017-01-07T13:45:18.433-08:00Were you able to keep the gear?

If anybody gave me grief I'd just have to wait them out because I was in freezer gear and they weren't and were literally freezing to death. When they said their piece and looked like they were about to leave I'd ask a couple of questions to clarify what they wanted - I'm meanDingonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-87786122319925038942017-01-07T09:21:57.162-08:002017-01-07T09:21:57.162-08:00I imagine folks thought process works as such:
Whe...I imagine folks thought process works as such:<br />Whenever some dillhole starts blathering in fear about Gore Warming and how We Are All Going To Die Right Now If We Don't Send Money To The Author So He Can Fly Overseas To Participate In A Gore Warming Circle Jerk, I immediately have zero interest in reading his drivel. Now, imagine how us doomers are looked at by normal people. WE become like the Gore Warming warners. We both know we are right, but nobody else shares our convictions.

This year, he seems to have topped them all. Nothing specific or earth shattering, for those closely following, but for a newbie or a lazy prepper, this years article was all encompassing and inclusive. It did Big Picture VERY well.

We work on our land building, improving, etc. until the snow drifts make getting out there and doing anything unfeasible. When working out of the wind but in the sun, you can almost get down to only one or two layers, maybe even removing the mittens in favor of gloves. But when you decide to take a break or end the day due to lack of light @ 4pm, you have to quickly bundle up or move into a heated environment. <br />Coats are less important than boots, socks, gloves, mittens, and hats. Seriously, this winter my winter coat is in for repairs so I am just layering an oversized rain jacket, hoodie, and light wool sweater, and am fine - but my feet are in 2 pairs of socks (one wool) and thick dry boots, my hands are in glove liners inside gloves inside the oversized mittens, and I wear 2 layer wool backlava (sp?) style cap wrapped in long wool scarf under the hoodies hood. I am plenty warm this way even sitting mostly still for up to a quarter hour. By a half hour I have to do something, and I can imagine being out for more than an hour not doing significant labor.
