take care guys!
Blackie, Great Information, Tips and Tricks. Thank You Sir for sharing.
Thanks. B! Took me years to learn that my feet sweat too much for a thick sock I have to wear a thin sock only and Ive found my foot will stay more dry and warm
Hi Blackie, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thank you for your time to make these videos, muchly appreciated thank you.
Good advice Blackie, thank you. In cold weather my hands are the first things to go no matter what gloves or mittens I'm wearing. I will check out those hand warmer packets.
For my snowy neck of the woods, I like flip top wool mittens.
I make wool kidney warmers that are practical Fall-Spring. 🍵🙂👍
I like to wear a nylon or preferably silk thin sock under a heavy wool sock. Slides like you say and the silks dry out well.
I wear thick, wool socks year round. I don't wear liners. My feet feel much, much better since I abandoned cotton socks altogether
Wool socks year around also stopped smelly feet and shoe issues.
Excellent points! Just one caveat: those chemical hand / body warmers do not store well for years on end. They are activated by air and the packaging is (very very slightly) air permeable.
Want socks that work better than wool? Get Alpaca socks. yes, they are more expensive, but well worth it.
Great advice. I wear a mostly wool socks all year around but the heavier ones in the winter. An old timer who use to snow shoe long hours taught me to not dress warm to start out. You will feel cold but it will help acclimate to the cold. Some things I have found really helpfull. One is a neck gaiter. Mine is a thin wool but makes a huge difference and not as bulky as a scarf. Next is a good watch cap. The one I have is a mixture of wool and thinsulate. Bought one for me and my son in 05 from Walmart and haven't found one again. That actually only comes out when its around zero as a wool insulated Kromer and ear muffs work well. Thin long john shirt and wool shirt. Usually my insulated Carhartt vest on the top untli it's below zero. Then comes the down parka. and wool pants. The next two pieces of gear are easy to find. I have a pair of waterproof duty boots. They are to hot above 40 but stay warm with warm wool socks at -20. The next thing is a pair of gaiters for your feet. You don't need to tuck your pants in your boots. They keep you pants dry and block the wind. If you find your upper leggs getting to cold go with longjohn bottoms and wool pants. If you get in a vehicle take off all of your outer gear especially coats. Same after you get in the store. They are more effective when you have to get out in the cold. If you are going for a 20 minnute to an hour walk start off with less. It will be difficult untill that innerfurnace kicks in. A good leather zipup jacket is warm but is also wind proof. Finally if you don't have the money, get a heavy wool sweater, at least 85% wool and top it with a rain coat or whatever windproof water shedding coat you can get. Gloves are a personal choice. If you have to clean snow that's the only time water proof gloves are any good. Keeps the wool from getting wet. As soon as you are done change to wool gloves or mittens. US army mittens are great and sold cheap. Take your hat, turn it inside out, as well as your socks and start drying them as soon as possible. Same with you gloves. I have a boot dryer and I use it to dry my gloves, hat and lastly socks as I have more pairs so the can be last.
I noticed that the turkey feather has switched sides. lol
Thanks Blackie for all you do for us silver wolfs 🐺.
Blackie I walk a mile a day And I will do a lot of exercise
Another thing that is helpful is a nitric oxide supplement. It opens up the blood vessels and increase circulation. Of course, talk to your doctor first.
@monkeyboy6590 I understand the disclaimer friend. Giggle censors everything. You probably know better than 99% of the public that MDs know nothing about nutrition and amino acid supplements like L-arginine and food like beets. Their dieticians are also harmfully stupid. Keep up the good work of influencing everyone with good safe options.🍵🙂👍
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing this information
I use them to warm up my mummy bag
Good stuff Blackie. Keeping your wrists warm heats your blood, keeping your body warm 👍🏻
Thanks Blackie!
My go-to winter mitts are USSR-era (mfg. 1973). They work down to about -10° C.
Anything colder and I break out my down mitts.
Great information Blackie. As I live in a sub-tropical Brisbane; if I go to a cold place, I’ve got polypropylene thermals and a set of gloves which are polypropylene with an additional thermo layer. Merino socks summer and winter otherwise I use bamboo socks in summer. Here we can get merino socks in both thin, thick and extra thick. Enjoying your videos and have begun to watch most of your old videos.
You are spot-on once again. However, I’m at the point that I have switched to heated gloves plus hand warmer when I’m out in the woods in the fall and winter. I’m sorry, but my fingers get so cold that they are extremely painful. Unbearably painful. So, my daughter got me rechargeable electric gloves and I love them.
Important topic adressed in a well made video. Thumbs up Blackie
Back in 1972 in AF boot camp I did the same thing with a nylon sock under the wool socks. eventually I was able to just wear the wool sock after a year or two..
Always like my boots with some wiggle room.
Layering thin sock and glove liners against my skin, then wool or woolblend socks and gloves and also keeping dry were so much help working outside and driving snowplow trucks.
I'm older now and feel it more too; thanks for the reminders and new information that I've not thought of.
Good stuff. Love that miserable quote.
I’m definitely going to add those body warmers to my kit. I could see where they would be handy. If you or a buddy gets stranded like for a mechanical injury and had to wait for help it might hold off hypothermia. I’ll also add them to my car kit.
My favorite time of the year
first there is another drawback to keeping feet & hands warm in winter, the bone mass to ratio is more bone less tissue. on certain winter days in the house i will get cold feet from this effect. also because of this effect i no longer do gloves. i have switched back to mittens. another effect you get with silk / nylon inner sock under a wool sock is this combination allows your feet to sweat. wicking the sweat into the wool sock. hate anything cotton, once wet it gets cold. there is a wool/ spandex mix on the market where they use mend?? wool. these are a good everyday winter sock. when going ice fishing up here in minn. i do the dress nylon sock under wool sock routine, keeps my SWEATY feet nice an warm. have 3 or 4 pairs of the very heavy wool knee high socks, haven't had to use them yet as a 3rd layer as long as i do the first 2. another issue on boots, make sure they are DRY. if WET you will have cold feet problems from the get go. a good pair of pants to get for outside chores is a flannel lined set of heavy blue jeans.
Look up different videos on alternative ways to lace up your boots so they don't distort circulation.
There are more ways to lace that you can imagine.
Great advice, also get bigger boots if you want to wear thick socks else you are compressing the insulation, defeating the purpose.
Gore-tex gaiters are severely underrated and they are not that expensive. I can go from cold to toasty toes with the same boots and socks with those.
About an hour before bed I will toss a body warmer in the foot of the sleeping bag and zip the bag up so it's working good before bed. I then wear sweatpants and a sleep hoodie and will place a smaller warmer on my undershirt at the base of my neck then pull the hood up. Since they come in two packs I toss the other in the hoodie pocket so if my hands get cold I know where to find it. Have stayed warm down to 15 degrees in a 20 degree bag.
Great advice, Blackie. I have a pair of the military wool fingerless gloves as well as the regular wool gloves along with the pilot gloves. I have the wool fingerless gloves with me all fall and winter with me up here in the north.👍
I'm liking that turkey feather, Blackie. Every good hat needs a feather in it 🪶
the curse of really big hands, worked outside all year round, wirk gloves hear top out at 2 sizes too small, and then it rains
That’s great advice! I have to find some of those body warmers!
Put aluminum foil on the pad to reflect the body heat back into the sleeping bag
Many thanks for the useful advice and suggestions. Cheers❤
Say Blackie, what brand is that leather boot you got there at time stamp 3:43?
Blackie, get Hold your niece the idea of facebook is Blocking on me The one that does the t shirts and hat
Thanks Sir Blackie ! Very informative 👏
this was good information sir even for a young fart like me :)
Great info, thanks Blackie for your video😊
Good video Blackie, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !
Firewood season is currently taking it's toll on my old joints
Good gouge to follow and I have for years ... Thanks
Summer and winter have solstices.
Really good information
Good info Mr. Blackie
Awesome video per usual. East Coast Canada chiming in, lots of snow, damp and Polar express temperatures. I use felt wool insoles in the winter months with those toe warmer. Wool trigger finger mittens along with a Gore Tex outer mitten. If you keep your ankles and wrists warm the blood will keep your hands and feet warm. And a nice wool watch cap to top off things. Layering is the trick. Of course you have to play around with what works best for you, but during the winter I have 12 hours of night shifts patrolling outside to think 🤔 about how not to freeze 🥶. 🍺🫵🤘🇨🇦🫡🇺🇸🤘🫵🍺
goedenavond Blackie 👍
I can't wait to meet you in Oct
THANKS
Very good advice. Thanks, Blackie!
