RE: dealing with snow
Smokechaser:
How about some details on the wool clothing story. What weight wool? What maker?
I have looked at buying a heavy "Double Mackinaw" 24 oz/yard wool coat and wool bib overalls for mountain elk hunting, but fear this would be too hot or heavy when moving -- even in the snow when it gets cold. Is this the way to go -- heavy coat heavy weight wool pants -- or some other path?
