I have been looking at the temps where I'll be staying. It's actually been low 30s this past week, while we in MI have been, oh... hovering around 0. I have a down parka, but think that it'll probably be overkill. I will, however, be packing it and wearing it around town.

This daypack doesn't have much outside attatchment points. I might be able to juryrig something, but honestly, I'd rather put the tent outside. The sleeping bag IS down, after all. I might go buy a drysack for it too, just to be safe.

I realize I wore too much. Actually, the top was fine. My legs were a bit damp, so next time I'll ditch the BDU pants, and just keep the tights under the gore-tex. And carry a pair of ear warmers in addition to the wool cap.

Good idea on the fleece. I'll check the local fabric shop and maybe they can help me add some nylon to one side.

As for the jacket, Sherpadog, this jacket only has "handwarmer" not "napoleon" style pockets. Unfortunately. I do have a jacket like that, but it's a rain jacket that has seriously lost it's DWR, despite repeated re-applications.

Like I said, this has been kind of a trial-by-fire on what I'm packing for aircraft egress. I figure the clothing day-to-day I have figured out, but I'm trying to figure how much I would need for a trek in the snow. By figuring what I need, I can add that to the bag and plan on my "normal" clothes being the starting point.
