Nice one!
Love to hunt those one of these days.
=============
Thanks but of the 1000 I saw that day,I think mine was the smallest. You shoot one and 5 minutes later another larger caribou walks by.
Yes,you'd love the hunt. relatively inexpensive,you get to tag two and the meat is delicious.

I have berber with windstopper and wind shear, i prefer the windstopper....fwiw. I have hunted in it to about -20*f. I am bmmed I did not find the stuff years sooner, it would have saved me a lot of money.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

With the monster of a storm you have headed your way,it appears you just might need all that gear,Randy.

always do David, nothing contributes to rust like bringing a rifle into the tent and then back outside again to hunt.
also plays hell on optics fogging the lenses

No wonder so many guys worry about sweating.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

I figured. But also figured you just wanted a much cooler picture. Don't do much snow hunting (well none actually), down this way. BTW, I've been receiving some really neat gifts from the DAV this year. Still contributing too.

Favorite outer layer is the Cabelas Berber Extreme parka and bibs. Silent, warm as hell and I can remove the hood which always annoys me. Downside is it's not weatherproof but I take a poncho with me if the weather looks iffy. Hard to beat for stand hunting.
For base layers, I really like Icebreaker merino wool. Light and warm.
I don't know if our cold is like your cold... typical elk hunting weather ranges from lows in the minus-5, maybe minus-10 range, to mid +20's F. So not as cold as the far NE... Capilene base layers, up to the Expedition Weight if needed. Dense felted surplus wool pants if it's going to be dry or just snowy, Rivers West pants if it's wet. Rivers West jacket, one of two. I have a parka style that is made of a heavy version of their (warm, soft, quiet, waterproof) fabric and a waist-length jacket made of a lighter version. Knowing they are waterPROOF allows for planning on being out all day regardless of the weather. Downside is, they are not breathable per se.
The CENTER will hold.

Cabela's Wooltimate,(outfitter) but I love my Berber parka for those long,long waits in treestands exceeding 30 minutes.
Under Armor base layer 2 not because it's extra warm but because the compression fit pushes in my belly a tad.
I look at it like that, too!
I'd rather have a bad day hunting than a good day working!

Yes, it does..........Sleeping Indian, IMO, is better than the KOM. I have both & like the finish of the wool & the workmanship better on the SI stuff. Sleeping Indian Wool MM Sleeping Indian is good stuff but it felt itchie to me. dave No matter who's wool it is, I never wear it directly against my skin..........always some kind of base layer or underlayer. All of them will itch me if it's directly against my skin. MM

In Alberta late season, I use a Cabela Dry Plus Parka over Ravenwear's thick mid-layer fleece over two layers of merino wool underwear with Filson wool pants.
My favorite item is the chemical toe warmers with adhesive that stick to my socks.

When people face the possibility of freezing or starving there is little chance they are going to listen to unfounded claims of climate doomsday from a bunch of ultra-rich yacht sailing private jet-setting carbon-spewing hypocrite elites

My dad turned my onto these. http://wildragsbylois.com/jaquardsilks.htmlI won't work/hunt in cold weather without one now. Makes a major difference. Other than that it's easy to stay warm if you layer up for cold weather. It's that 20-40F rainy snowy chit that's tough to handle all day.
