Winter clothing and other stuff

I like the under-armor base layer cold gear. Does its job, just may want a size up as it can be "nut huggin'"

 

ive got si

I do carry a few small pan's and a single propane burner year round. the type used for back packing. of course food and water. btw boiled snow tastes different then bottled water to me.

at least a weeks worth of food that consists of mre's from most grocery stores and add boiled water foods.

space savers if possible

 

I have a butane single burner stove. I get nose bleeds in dry cold weather. In the winter I boil water off and then go to sleep. I don't know how long 4 cans of butane would keep me from freezing to death, longer than none.

 

I carry a good pair of two piece chopper mittens and chemical hand warmers with me. I'll often times do what i have to do with bare hands then slip them back into the mittens with the warmers in them to warm back up.

 

And I will vouch that this was not a one-off photo-op.

 

I have used a good surgery type glove. They are a light blue and thicker material than the hospital type. Pretty chemical resistant. Then a pair of jerseys or leather gloves over tgem. For changing and such they work well and are warm believe it or not. It's hard for me to really work in gloves of any kind though. I have had to adapt though in my time

 

If you're outside a bunch chaining, hooking or tarping you may want to consider moose tracks or ice spikes as well. Get the kind that strap over your boot, then just pull 'em off before you hop back in so you don't tear up your truck.

We also keep a small propane torch for stubborn frozen trailer brakes, a 25 lb bag of kitty litter or salt and an e-tool for digging out. A set of walkies for teams is a good idea, too.

 

I supply a couple shops with the gloves you're taking about.

Popular brand of glove like you're talking about is called Thickster.

 

That's it, I couldn't think of it for nothing
