I wore a hole in my possum fir gloves using trekking poles in less than 5 miles! I only use mine at camp. The possum socks are the warmest thing I’ve ever put on my feet short of down booties.
Depending on which brand you get & the possum vs merino blend (some brands create some pretty thin gloves) I can totally see that happening. I’m like you Mike….they’re a perfect camp type glove when used as a stand alone glove. When layered with something more robust, it’s a different story. Thanks for commenting Mike & happy new year!

I've just started looking at gear for colder weather camping. Being in KY though I'm not looking at "really cold" but still the amount of choices & things to consider is mind blowing lol. Congratulations to the winner!!!
I absolutely love the fact that your video lines up with one of the items in your give away (and it is one of the things that I have been most excited about out of all the prizes) and the fact that you are supporting someone who custom crafts these gloves! Thanks for being awesome and Congrats to the winner!!!
This was fantastic! I didn't know that I didn't know so much about gloves.... probably why my hands and feet are always cold! Great information, I gotta check out those possum gloves. That was a massive giveaway!!! Congratulations to Mankini!
You could always just put your hands in your pants too 🤷♂️. Just kidding...although that is good in a pinch. As always, great informative video, Miyagi! Also, congrats to the winner! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Thank you 🙏. Happy new year Red Shepherd Outdoors! Thanks for all your support & encouragement through the years. It’s greatly appreciated. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
Very informative I always have problems with my hands going cold 🥶 will try a layered approach on Thursday it’s been -25c for over a week up here 🥶 🥶 great video
Keeping your core and head warm are just as important as properly layering your hands. Good luck this winter! Wishing you awesome, safe adventures out in the back country. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
Thanks for this mate! Was just diagnosed with Raynauds which definitely checks out with my constantly cold hands. I've known most of these methods and also have a big supply of hot hands, but will check out some of your recommendations for sure!
Brushtail possum used as a stand-alone glove 🧤 works great for photography in those cold wet environments. Good luck my friend. You’re one of my most favorite photographers!!
Greetings from Washington state! I’ve been dealing with Raynaud’s syndrome for some years now, the game changer for me was the possum down gloves and socks, down booties for in the tent and sleeping. I got mine through Zpacks but I think you can get the gloves and socks directly from the company in New Zealand. Between that and just plain keeping my core temp up I recently went on a trip that got down to -16 C with no problems! Stay safe and have fun out there. I’m a new Sub now!
Thank you my friend! Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and yours. One of my New Year’s resolutions is to make it down your way and join you on a hike and some camp time.
For the past year, we have switched most of our base layers to merino wool...as much for the warmth as for the non-stinkyness factor. Given most of our hikes are not in the extreme cold, it works for us. I wonder if I pick up a possum on the side of the road and add it to the merino wool if it will make me warmer... Thanks for the great information. Keep up the good work. Congrats to the winner.
Congratulations to the winner! (I'm not going to reveal who ;-) ) Great informative post! I'll refer this to my friend that was asking about the differences in wool for a hoodie.
Dachstein Wool has become a relatively generic term that implies that the item being constructed was made by the ancient methods of felting and fulling (sometimes referred to as boiled wool) wool, and still used today, almost exclusively carried on from ancient times as a heritage and traditional method in the Dachstein region of Austria. My friend Dani makes her Peruvian Highland Wool gloves in a similar fashion, resulting in increased density of the material. Mitts made using this ancient tradition have been popular with mountaineers for centuries and are absolutely the “real deal”for seriously cold weather. They are great insulators, are wind proof, and offer a high degree of water resistance. Thanks so much for asking Ron! Happy New Year to you! Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
Sir,.if i paste Marino wool gloves inside work safely gloves, can i use in mountaineering? Will it solve the purpose of mountaineering gloves??? As safety gloves are highly resistant and wool will keep me warm... Please suggest
I just spoke with her today. Yes she is still doing them and has just ordered a new batch of yarn. If you are interested, please reach out to her at the following email address: raeleighrose@ yahoo dot com.

Maybe you should try WINGLEOV heated work gloves, which are wear-resistant, waterproof and heated, and are designed for winter work.

I actually taught Milosh how to warm his hands in his pants a few years ago. Saved him from even worse frostbite than he already had!
Very good video.
Nice informative video. Thank you for sharing

Congrats to the winner ! Was not aware they had possum gloves, but I know the socks are spot on, have to check those out.
I just picked up a brushtail possum hat this year also….soooooo soft & warm!
All good information and delivery. Congrats on the winner.
Thank you my friend! Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and yours. One of my New Year’s resolutions is to make it down your way and join you on a hike and some camp time.
@@MiyagiontheTrail that sounds good just let me know when you in my neighborhood 👌

Merino is such a great product! Unfortunately our possums aren’t the same as the New Zealand ones or I’d be doing the same thing!! 😂 😂
Great tips brother. That weather you have camped in is crazy. Beastmode brother 👊🏻
Congrats to the winner
Happy New Year
And you’re going to come with us in February for the next one. Start getting your gear ready Waugh! #noexcuses

Any thoughts or experience with the Dachstein boiled wool gloves?

I keep seeing these ingenious strap pouches for hammock straps that are made by this Miyagi guy. How do I buy one?
Hit me up! I think I’ve got a few black HyperD ones left.
@@MiyagiontheTrail How do indo that? Don't see a web site or email on your channel info.
miyagionthetrail@gmail.com
Miyagi, how much are the fingerless gloves.
$35 minus shipping
Sir,.if i paste Marino wool gloves inside work safely gloves, can i use in mountaineering?
Will it solve the purpose of mountaineering gloves???
As safety gloves are highly resistant and wool will keep me warm...
Please suggest
I would buy a dedicated pair of oversized mountaineering gloves and layer them with Marino or Alpaca liners.
Is she still doing gloves? The link doesn't work
I just spoke with her today. Yes she is still doing them and has just ordered a new batch of yarn. If you are interested, please reach out to her at the following email address: raeleighrose@ yahoo dot com.
Don’t listen to this video guys
Most definitely. This guy has NO idea what he’s talking about. 😂 😂
