[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 979664, member: 14204"] Lots of excellent recommendations thus far. The Bob Marshall wilderness is absolutely beautiful. A few years ago, we did an 50-miler 10-day backpacking trip with my scout troop from lower Holland Lake and circled back at Salmon Lake IIRC. We under estimated it and ended up with 85 miles but as a true scout we were prepared. :D As already noted; layers, layers, layers ... Keep your noggin, hands, and feet warm and dry and you'll be OK. Yes, I do layers of face mask, gloves, and socks. My hunting buddies nicknamed me "Eskimo Ed" :cool: so I'm probably not the best to recommend actual clothing but I'm a firm believer in layering with materials that breathe and provide you the best warmth (i.e., wool, natural or synthetic, etc ...) Depending on the activity, hiking or sitting, I layer accordingly on the first sign of chill or perspiration. For me, the hardest to warm up are my hands. Along with proper clothing for the environment/activities; proper conditioning, nutrition (PBJ is my go to food/snack), and hydration are instrumental to keeping you warm and make your hunt enjoyable ... and a success. Good luck and happy safe hunting. [/QUOTE]
