Whats your favourite piece of winter kit?
Well its that time of year again.
Im driving the wife mad while I get out my winter kit and put the summer gear away for another year! :2:
I love camping in all seasons as each has its challenges and rewards for the effort that you put into it.
Autumn (fall) is so beautiful with the change of colours in the woods and the joy of watching the wildlife getting ready for the winter has never lost its fascination.
Anyway, as I have been going through the summer kit I found myself smiling at a few old faithfuls that see the light each year without fail and I wondered if you do the same.
First my M1951 Parka that I have had and worn during the winter months since 1981. A great coat that I have never got cold or wet wearing. The only dis advantage is its weight of 6lbs and how much heavier it gets when wet.
Second a pair of British army mukluks that I use when its cold and dry. This is my 3rd or 4th pair that Ive had to replace over the past 30 years, but as they are cheap in the surplus store its not a problem.
and Third my Pat 58 British Army sleeping bag that Ive owned since 1984. It now needs a fleece liner in it to keep me warm but I haven't the heart to retire it yet.
So how about you guys!
Any items you use in the winter season that you have had for some time?
Why do you like them?
