Warmest clothes

I"m in the wool camp. But when it gets real cold I wear 800fill down overalls and jacket.

Something else really important is having the calories to burn in your furnace. A lot of people skip breakfast when they get up to hunt. If youre one of them(this is going to sound crazy, but...) and old winter backpacking trip is to throw a few slices of butter in your hot beverage of choice to give you some good calories to burn for warmth...Cholesterol be damned...

Butter in coffee when duck hunting is heavenly. The grease and caffeine-induced ****es while wearing chest waders and standing in knee deep muck are not.

This is going to sound gross...but don't knock it till you try it....get some powdered tang, mix that **** up and heat it up and throw some butter in it. ITs like a warm melted creamsicle and there are probably enough calories in it for a week....
 
FYI....starting at midnight (black friday)....everything at Rivers West store is 25% off with free shipping.


I'd like to go to a store that carries their full line because some of that stuff looks very similar or maybe just new versions of old products and both are available for a short time. Their customer service is very helpful if you call.

I have the full Outlaw kit (jacket and bibs) and full Ambush kit (jacket and bibs....no idea why they call a berber fleece parka a jacket....). If I was going to buy another item, it would probably be the gaiters which are waterproof fleece and so quiet enough to leave on on stand (don't like that the top is elastic, so not adjustable, but I can always rig something up there).
