[QUOTE="Rum Man, post: 1575600, member: 103316"] Agreed ☝️☝️☝️ Now here ya go ... Must have 2 sets of truck chains I wear Irish Setter Elk trackers with wool socks Thick and thin sets of insulated underwear. You dont need Sitka ..but you do need layers and several . I wear a wool vest just like the Cowboys do and they stay warm ! You need a pack to HD your gear but I'm sure you know this already . What you pack could save your life too. 25 years ago I wandered 29 miles from camp . It still brings tears to my eyes to talk about it . Gloves ...i wear cotton jerseys . They are only $ 1.00 a pair . Get a mitten style leather glove with wool insert . For the -20 plus days . Get a jet boil and a few Mountain house meals . Warm food in the belly goes along way . You will be snowed on and get the wonderful feel of the Winter breeze so have some type of wind block clothing . A thin face mask is so helpful ! Anyway you get my thoughts set your gear out at home and check and recheck I have a lot on the list above it's just to make you think about what you might use. Each day could be different . Out west there is no box blind with a heater to set in . You will hike and glass and look for tracks . Sorry so long winded !! Best of luck to you !! Been there done that ..Rum Man !! [/QUOTE]
