Favorite "Must Have" for winter

Keep in mind, there are things to keep when solo and things when teaming.

 

I have a big mink hat made in the USSR. It's old. If your head is cold all of you is cold. I have a very expensive down duvet for the bunk. It doesn't matter how cold it gets I would be warm wrapped up in it. We only turn the truck on in the night just to make sure it will start in the morning. I like snowboarding outfits. They are perfectly waterproof and very warm. I can always find them in thrift stores really cheap especially in the summer. I like leather ski gloves. I keep lots of vasaline on them and they are supple,warm and waterproof. I wear hicking boots on my feet and you could be outside all day at -30 and never have a cold foot. I will load up all my warm gear for when we go back OTR on Mon. and we will get a load to Texas. That's just the way it works. I bring shorts and sandles just in case.

 

Flatbedding tears up everything. You will rip, tear, gouge anything you have on. Even leather gloves gets holes in them from, everyday use out here. I wear flannels with hoods, carharts, or coveralls. I eventually wear them all out.

 

My favorite "must have" for winter is my furnace, La-Z-Boy, and big screen T.V. That's the only way I can make it through the winter. That and a trip to Florida.

 

For chaining I put on a pair of heavy duty rubber gloves that I buy at the dollar store for a buck.
I just found out my wife is going team with another lady till Christmas so I will be stuck here at home for the next couple of months. I have lots of things to do and will keep busy I'm sure. I will be able to be on the forum lots too. I hope I don't get on peoples nerves too badly.
