Merry Christmas, Dwayne! And the best of the New Year ahead.

Those socks may be the ticket. I will wait for a report from you. Almost any elastic is too much for me. When walking my feet stay warm enough, and I don't do tree stands etc. But I do call critters a lot, and sit long enough for feet to get cold.

That's a cold one you've got in the Okanagan. We have similar temps here, very unusual for us, a mile from salt water and 100 feet elevation. We have 8 inches of snow and more falling. I did not turn a wheel today, just holed up with hot drinks, snacks and a nap.

Thanks to all for the input, some via private messages. Good info. I have googled and searched but cover more cources through others.
