As an easterner, I just got back from a January Mt 'ote
hunt.

Two of us were not locals, so packing was a chore.

But I must say, clothing was very important; cold temps,
wind and nighttime are were part of the trip. I took a
heavy bag and used all the clothes except a pair of
shorts. I was comfortable all the time, never broke
into my hand warmers, no need to.

Gloves (two pair) and face masks along with ski googles
and sunglasses were all important.

Me too.
I had on my full "winter" gear.
Especially at the night calling trip.
Silk top and bottom longies.
Polar fleas tops and bottoms.
Cotton duck pants
wool long sleeve shirt.
Micro fiber socks under wool boot socks
Natural gear overalls and parka.
silk neckerchief
Natural gear gloves
Polar fleece mittens over gloves
Kenetrek tall boots 800 gr thinsulate
polar fleece ear band under my parka hood.
ski goggles and ball cap.
And felt good about it !!!!
Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box

Yes, dressing correct is more important than sighting in
my rifle...and often tougher.


PS when I got home I found my pants to my white camo
suit...just in another pocket in my bag sh%t, old man's
memory.
