Recently I finished reading a book about the Mad trapper of Rat river and am currently reading Alaska's Wolf man about Frank Glaser.
In the Mad trapper book much of that ordeal took place in extreme cold down to 40 below. I didn't see any mention of the clothing worn by the trapper or the Mounties and others who chased him.
In the Glaser book He mentions Filson wool pants and mackinaw but that's all I've seen mentioned so far.
I'm curious what they would have worn in those conditions. Just wool? Fur? Goose down maybe?
Any titles of books that might have descriptions of clothing and gear would be appreciated too.
