  • You may think it's a waste of time or just not want to do it... But if you get the chance and the time you should make a video on how you would wash your clothes in the woods if you needed to.. I could really use that info! thanks alot

  • I must respectfully disagree regarding the moisture barrier around your feet, Dave. Despite the polypropelene's ability to wick the moisture away from your feet, if it has no where to go because of the plastic, your feet will get wet. And then, they willl get cold. Good, waterproof, breathable boots are a better option than improvising by using plastic bags.

  • Why does the camera shake if no one is holding it?

  • Working at nights in 30 - 40 degree temps being outdoors doing patrols can be a hard way to earn a living, most dont cut it because they dont understand the basic fundamentals to keeping warm. Its nice to see dave explain some basics here. In my experience if one area starts to go cold you will get cold no matter what. Socks that are warm yet not constricting are key, layer your pants keep it thin but warm so its professional also neck warmers or gaitors are also crucial to not getting sick.

  • So ... Just remember Poly-Propylene and Wool, in various thicknesses.

  • @Dbejar11 Casio Protrek. I have one. Compass works great. It got me and my buddies out of a potentially BAD situation on a forest hike here in Russia. It's also a tough watch.

  • Dude, you look like robin hood with that hood on!

  • bags on feet = yellow, crinkled sweaty meat. ok for a day or two day trip but bad news for longer periods. when i grew up i lived on a council estate without a pot to piss in and we couldnt afford wellies or flash boots only cheap trainers and black gloshers/plimsoles. we went out and had great fun in the snow and rain with our makeshift plastic carrier bag wellies or council wellies as we called em. fond memories! we did socks 1st, bags on second then shoes on 3rd.
