u need to bring ANOTHER layer of longjohns.

Lots of great advice in this thread.

One for you and Dad... (Not the girls.)

Bring a flask of Fireball Cinnamon Whisky. Periodic sips will do you wonders. It was developed in the 1980's in Canada and works like a charm.

You could also possibly think about getting some goggles like for Skiing since the mask may not cover the whole face.

I can see Kevins daughters looking something like this going to the game lol










I actually have a battery heated hunting jacket but those are expensive. The best point I saw was don't put to much on right away for the walk (i have done this a few times and I paid for it walking up the mountains to hunt) because you get sweaty and then you will get cold faster.

Stand between some fat people. They'll block the wind for you . Ski Goggles aren't the worst thing in the word either, people forget that their eyes are exposed to the elements too. Have fun with this Zero, your kids will always remember being there.

after hazer post and thinking about all those layers there is one more essential item you and dad will need, the girls won't need it.

Show Spoiler

go Pack GO!

I put these in the boots to keep the feet (foot in my case) warm..

Goggles are a great idea. Definitely use layers. By "hand warmers" I assume you mean those things you shake and then put them in your mittens. Definitely use those.

If you use wool socks, they will keep your feet warm even if they are wet. In fact, wool coats all around.

There are herbs for this sort of thing if you want to go that route. Eat food that is super spicy. This will keep you warm internally. Also, get some cayenne. 90 HU is the hottest. Put this on the outside of your inner pair of socks and mittens.

Try to stay out of the wind. Wind will carry the cold deep into your body.

Also, use essential oils. Cinnamon is the hottest. Ginger is good too. Black Pepper is good, but it is a middle note, so it will only last about 4 hours. Put the oils on Du 4, which is on the spine, opposite the navel. Also, Ren 6, just below the naval. Spleen 6 and Stomach 36 are good too.

Point Locations.

Oh yeah, mittens are much better than gloves. I have an awesome pair for deer hunting that has flaps on the inside. They would be useful when drinking the aforementioned various beverages.
