[QUOTE="wpwarren, post: 993795, member: 73994"] I've hunted and worked in really cold weather down to -42 and I wouldn't consider going without a layering system. If a jacket is warm enough on its own you will be cooking in it when you start moving. I wear 1 or 2 wool layers (capilene if it is really wet) then a nice fleece layer, then a thin wind stop layer followed by a down jacket then a waterproof windproof shell when it is super cold. This system will get me down to 20 below comfortably if I am sitting. Much colder than that and I just don't sit around. As far as carrying a handgun while hunting (or hiking, riding a dirtbike, skiing, or anything else active) I use a hill people gear kit bag. It is really comfortable and easy to use and I bought the regular bag so i have room for my maps, some snacks, and my gps in it too as well as a basic first aid kit. With this setup I can leave the backpack behind for stalking or technical climbing excursions. I wear this under my backpack so I can take the main pack off without having to remove the kitbag.
