Don, I do believe you could use a real beaver hat. When I worked 4 years in Barrow Alaska, it could get -40 to -60 and Beaver really works. Few Inuits wore them but once they did, they preferred them. Not a lot of Beavers up there handy, so I bought several hides and had them made the way I like them, they were very popular. I had them a little longer in the back to keep the neck warm and cut forward to help with the face. I also used a neoprene face mask and sometimes goggles. I also wore (like you) the black lined Carharts and some Cabelas -100 boots. I could stay toasty for quite a while outside.
BTW, I didn't let them use quilting on the inside, it almost can't get cold enough to wear comfortably. Instead I had them use a heavy satin fabric as a liner. Just right.

46 here in So. Nevada. Thought they might call school off but they are tuffing it out. A couple of leaves fell from the trees last night. I might have to bundle up and go out and rake. But probably not. Seriously, this desert rat doesn't know how you guys survive.  Yeah life in the desert is pretty nice this time of year. I am going up to Cold Creek tomorrow to do a hike and shoot and expect to endure temps in the low 40s w/ winds gusting up to 5mph. I better put on extra sunscreen. He does look better wrapped up but I'll bet he has on trigger finger mitts and will find something to shoot. That dog would be great to hang out with. mike r

Don, I'm hoping it thaws just a little - before it hits here tomorrow.
(We tend to get Denver weather the next day)

And no cab on that tractor?
Now I can feel a little sorry for you.
Been there and done that. Betcha that seat is padded. Ain't gonna be a steel bucket and have an ass in it on days like that.

Been seeing new flights if geese and ducks around here.
Went out to the lakefront in the dark this morning and tossed in some decoys.
Nice flocks up high but I wasn't able to bring them in.
Got one duck and numb toes and fingers.

Nobody should ever feel any sadness or remorse for livestock. I gave up on that a long ago.
It was a balmy 13 deg here this week, and I had a 14 month old steer for some stupid reason run full on and crash a fence. It broke a few strands but the bottom two were still intact. That idiot then stood back up, kinda sprung off the fence like a WWF wrestler, and fell over sideways. Then he walked over the fence and away from the pasture! I had to race all the way around with a 40MPH windchill on my face from that speeding Yamaha Rhino.
Chased him around a while hoping the others would not find their way out too. Finally quit that hopeless event. Went in got a loaf of bread, and fed him slowly back into the pasture. By this time, I'm frozen. Now back to the shop for the come along, staples, hammer, and some more two strand. All this steel stuff must be absolute zero to the touch it's so freaking cold!
Now I'm out there stretching wire, ratcheting and hammering all the while this moron steer is standing 15 feet away with full on steam streaming from his nostrils and drool almost reaching the ground.
I have become the steer version of Netflix for this moron. He just watches me struggle and freeze fixing his mess. So he is back in the pasture secure again. Don't believe that a fence is cattle proof, especially if they are horned. It's a visual deterrent at best.
Never gonna feel sorry butchering those pain in the ass beasts in my lifetime!

That's why they call it animal husbandry JJ. Dang near as bad as having a wife

Never gonna feel sorry butchering those pain in the ass beasts in my lifetime! Funny stuff right there...I tell my wife that same thing. She's always whining about cold cows. We have some Scottish Highland heifers and I swear they love the bitter cold. Their back hair stays hard frosted all day, never thaws. Incredible thermal efficiency with that stuff. 100* animal with frozen hair...Look like musk ox out there.

Actually a little snow on the ground out here at sea level. Looks kinda nice.
I'd be shocked if it lasted the day though. Probably get in the high thirties today and get a little rain.
