    It is good to get advice from a true outdoorsman and hunter, including advice on clothing and equipment. We forget about Merino wool fabric. It was 'go-to' for sportsmen at least as far back as Horace Kephart, Dan Beard, Col. Whelen, and the like.
    As a farm boy in the 1950's, we got to wear itchy woolen long johns. Merino is not like that...but it does cost more.

Been wearing it ever since but you would be surprised at the Vast Amount of people out there that actually don't know about wearing Wool Clothing...

    Thank you for this video, last year I started to switch to wool clothing (shirt, sweaters, cap), but the under-layer long johns I bought were (I guess) cheap and itchy so I never enjoyed wearing them. This hunting season here in northern Michigan will be in quality Merino wool. Highlanders from my native mountains are wearing thick wool pants the whole year long, I was always wondering why, now I understand. I enjoyed watching your channel for bow making and hunting and I was happy to see you win on Alone.

    Appreciate you sharing this information. I too love wool. In the cold I prefer a merino base layer (first lite or Filson normally) wool LL Bean pants (old school, similar to your woolrich pants), a button up Pendleton and a Filson mackinaw cruiser. If it’s cold and wet I’ll likely keep the same bottoms but go with merino base top, crunchy thick lambs wool sweater, and a waxed canvas jacket as a shell. I also found a merino wool headband for ladies that I use as a scarf. Fits nice and always stays in place.

    Hey Clay, just found this video and I’ve already done this and it works perfect! I had a thought for you on your wool shemagh idea. If you buy a lightweight wool throw, you can cut it down and make yourself 2-4 shemaghs depending on size. Just hem the cut edges and your good to go! I know it’s a month later but hope you read this as I think you’ll dig the outcome!

    • @piche090391
      @piche090391 ปีที่แล้ว

      Awesome idea, maybe a blent of 90-10 wool/synthetic so it's not super itchy?
      I have not found a wool one, but I have been using wild-rags (cowboys will now what I'm talking about) made out of 100% silk. There is a reason why cowpunchers have been using them for a long time in all environments AZ deserts to MT mountain ranges. Just another option.

    Those thumb holes I never use while wearing but they do indeed make pushing your arm through the next layer easier. The sleeve can get “lost” and bunch up like you’re rolling up your sleeves but with those thumb holes you can poke and push your base layers and hand through in a hurry and be sure the end of your sleeve is where it is supposed to be. Once on correctly the thumb can be removed. If that makes sense…

That is all I need for my bottoms. Plus as the day warms. I can pull of the gaiters and roll up those pants and stay cool coming out. I will usually even wear arm gaiters.

    Ed* And cannot agree more about Marino Wool. I work outdoors through the winter, both in MI, ND, and CO now too, and enjoy Skiing/Snowboarding and day-hiking. Merino is the bomb. A week without a wash, is surprisingly not miserable at all. And those blue gloves, many a job in oil&gas work supplied those or similar to us. They do get cold below zero. The best gloves for waterproof, grip, cut resistance, durability is "Monkey Grip" textured PVC gloves, with Knit Wool "gardening" style, or cross-country ski gloves worn as a base-layer. That system works down to -20F before the orange plastic gets very stiff. But they remain warm.

    I'm a wool lover myself, for many of the same reasons as yourself. Wool and fur are eco friendly. When they've expended their life, you can put them into the soil/trash, without having to worry about contamination. As far as scent control while hunting. Unless you are hunting the backcountry, or some remote area, YOU DO NOT NEED SCENT CONTROL CLOTHING. Deer, and bears, in most populated areas, are use to human scent. So for the most part, that scent lock clothing is a gimmick, unless you're hunting somewhere remote. Many millions of deer have been harvested, long before scent lock clothing was invented. Love the show by the way.

Legpockets to much on the front of the legs instead on the side etc. Thight back pockets is also wrong.

    Gaitors are great for keeping insects and their eggs as well as burrs off too

    We put electric tape on the bottom strap to stop snow build up, from sticky snow! Good advise.

    For a merino wool shemagh. Look up "N x N" North by North. Look at the kerchief. Its 42 x 42. I have 4.

    Clay, Check out Traditional Archery Guru G Fred Asbell of Asbell Wool. I bought one of their Anoraks, years ago. Mrs. Asbell did a special order because I am tall and have long arms. They have huge hoods presumably to hide your eyes when hunting, but for sleeping in the cold or sleeping in the daylight they are awsome. I do not know if the weave of the Shemagh is unique, but they have very large Bandanas. I would guess that Mrs Asbell would probably work with you. Those folks are salt of the earth.

    Thanks for all the great info. i would only ask: have you ever used a buckskin or elk skin mit with a double-knit wool insert" i've only used buckskin but elk also have hollow hair and even though i am recommending hairless buckskin the tanned hide quality might be similar to buckskin as well.
    I've been out on the ice, all day in 25 below with a gusting wind ???? In that weather i still remove the mit and scoop chipped ice out of the fishing-hole with bare hand - slip the hand back in the mit where it fries in seconds and warms almost as quick. Probably not great with a bow or utility on cold morning.
    I believe (for me) i need to be fully acclimated/seasoned to cold/extreme cold (well below zero degrees) before trying any of this. Buckskin give me 20-30 degree advantage over calf. Buckskin never seems to freeze or stiffen and i've never oiled them.
    Good show thanks

    That is a super set up! Oh thanks for the information. I only recently learned about wool socks and have been wearing them ever since. I am a paramedic and wear the boots for 24 hours sometimes and cotton socks yuck. Man thanks for the info

    while still at home, or at least, before launch, water-proof spray the backpack and 2 sets of clothing, if you dont have a waterproof outer shell for one set. Those items and your life vest become your pontoons for the outrigger raft. 8 small logs for the frameworks. Small "throne" of more logs created atop the two 8 ft long center logs, so your feet are up out of the water. Lash the camera case to the throne and sit on it. Before lashing the pontoons to the frame, test each one for air bubbles when submerged. If you see a leak mark it, dry it out with a hot stone, on both sides and patch both sides with duct tape. Ive had some white duct tape underwater, on some tyvek my garage, 40F or colder, for 3 days now, no sign of loosening of the adheasive. With 6 pontoons, each one capable of floating a man, you need not concern yourself as to whether the logs float. Stuff the items with soft, dry debris, BEWARE of pointy sticks! whipstitch the seams, using a straightened-out fishhook, grind off a lot of the "eye" so that the hook pulls thru cloth easily, make a wooden button-thimbler to help with that part, and use the multitool to pull on the needle if need be. Lash the pontoons to the TOP of the logs, so that the undersurface has low drag. Sharpen the corners of all logs for the same reason. You can make this raft in one day, mostly by fire light. Make the oars, oarlocks, throne and tripods to mount the oarlocks in one more day. Then have a SOLID watercraft. Once it gets really cold and you need the 2 sets of clothing, the lake will freeze over anyway and you'll have no further use for the raft, eh?

    A ball cap is one of the best eye protectors in the woods aswell. Out in the Big Horns this summer I bought lost my eye had it not been for my hat. I was hopping up on a bank and a stick I didn't notice caught on the brim of my hat and knocked my hat back and deflected the branch down just enough to stab me just beneath my eye.

    I'm not sure about a wool shemagh but have you ever thought about a silk wild rag they are about the same size as a shemagh and silk has alot of the same property's of wool. Silk is hypoallergenic, moisture wicking, and good insulation.

    The wool also won't melt or burn as easily as a lot of the synthetic materials, or cotton.
