Good evening gents; My preferences is for Merino wool undies, Merino wool mid layer(s), and either waxed cotton or wool outer with Smartwool socks. Good boots for three season (working on a pair of White's Smoke Jumpers) and white Micky mouse boots or LL Bean boots for winter. Mores Kochansky likes nylon outerlayer,Chris Jankowsky (RIP) likes 60-40 mtn parkas (good luck finding them) and mentions a parka with wolf ruff and hood lined in wolverine with 60-40 outer shell and lined with double layers of Thinsulate IIRC, And they both like dedicated rubber rain suits.As above, a wool watch cap, wool gloves and a wind shirt and other stuff in a small bag that supliments your on body EDC, more clothes in your BOB, a more complete selection of colthes in your car trunk, and a pre packed selection in your long term bag, all variable by season.This is not original to me, I adopted it from an article in the survival section on Outdoors Magazine.com and I don't see any reason to reinvent the wheel. How do you all do this, if you do this? PS getting oversized wool sweaters from the thrift is great; after you launder them in HOT water, they shrink to fit and you have a boiled wool sweater <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I've been looking for a Dachstein sweater forever, I don't think there imported to the states?Thanks; Jim
