RE: Wool clothes and Elk hunting
I guess I dress old fashion.I have never bought or owned a gortex-or rain suit in my 20 year hunting span.
I wear a layer of silk long johns under a long sleeve under armor shirt,followed by a wool button up shirt,then over that a wool sweater,then a wool vest,then my hunters orange.I wear a fleece type long john bottoms and wool pants over the top,with moister wicking socks and a heavy duty pair of wool sock covered by my 400 gram Danners.Now this is if it is realy cold,if it is 30-40 degrees out then some layers are not worn,but always pack a extra wool shirt and wool socks.
As long as you are moving no matter how wet you get wool will keep you warm,and if you are that wet,it's time to build a fire and have some powdered soup and warm up.
