Great to know Now you can get anything from The Sportsman's at a very cheap price you have to do is check out the LINK REMOVED and take a lot of Discount Deals. And get free shipping on selective products.


Let's see, new user reviving a Necro-thread to drop a commercial link without prior coordination with the Mods.

Like that bag (out of stock at the moment)

What's in your cold weather car kit for hunkering down in a vehicle breakdown situation?

My son the Jarhead and wife relocated to MT in April. As of today he's driving to Ft Benton from Great Falls for work. Winter is going to be interesting learning curve for the SoCal surfer dude.

Somebody please ban the spammer.

I'm gonna necro this thread!

I've lived in Montana for several years and dealt with the winters here. If it gets cold, you need to layer.

For your outer layer, I would suggest something that blocks the wind. Water resistance is not important, you need to block the wind. The wind cuts through fabric and sucks out your heat. Underneath the wind blocking layer, you need insulation. I'd recommend either wool or some sort of polyester that keeps some insulation when it gets damp.

Also, get a set of good cold weather boots.

If you're vehicle breaks down, stay with it. It's shelter that blocks the wind. If you are looking for a single solution to keeping warm in cold weather, I've used aa Sarma TST thermal cloak. I've tested one of those in cold weather. I work a pair of insulated boots, and that kept me warm in -20 or -30 weather over shorts and a t-shirt.

Which one did you have - non insulated, 65 gm, or 100 gm?

Thanks for the thermal clock link. Yeah layering... and cotton kills. Born in Fairbanks, moved to the wetside of WA, trained in Snow SAR on Mt Rainer as a teen.

But the question was about cars and hunkering down in one during extreme cold (breakdowns, stuck, etc). A candle can do wonders in a small space -- but ventilation has to be minded.

"Hot Hands" will make you feel a lot better when you're in the cold. At least they will in a tree stand in the dark in December.

The 100 gram one.
