Bigfoot Hunting
Being
out in the woods in
inclement weather is
extremely dangerous and could actually kill you or result in the loss
of limbs.
If you are not an experienced outdoorsman and are just getting started,
it is
not recommended that you attempt this and if you do, please
don’t try it alone. If you do decide to go out in the cold to
hunt Bigfoot here is what you should bring with you:
Polypropelene
Undergarments
Top and
Bottom
Insulating
Layers. These are important in that they will retain heat, but allow
your sweat to be drawn away from the body and evaporate. When outdoors,
being dry means being warm. Cotton items should never be worn close to
the body, because they will absorb moisture and this moisture will make
you cold. This inner layer will retain heat and keep your core body
temperature up in cold conditions.
Shirt
Wool items
are good to wear at this layer because wool insulates well.
Pants
Should be
long and warm.
Socks
Socks should
be either a prolypropelene material or be quick drying.
Wet feet are cold feet. The material should allow your feet to breathe,
especially since you will be walking around a lot.
Hat
They say
that 90%
of heat is
lost from the body through the head. By wearing a watchcap or similar
headgear, this heat can be retained with minimal interference to your
activities. (I
prefer black ones since they don’t show dirt and
don’t stand out.)
Scarfs and
Gators
These
items will prevent heat
from escaping around the neck area. If you use a gator, do not cover
your mouth with it, since the moisture from your breath will make it
wet and your face will get cold.
Boots
Boots
should come to the
mid-calf region. This will prevent snow from coming into your boots and
getting your feet wet. Rubber boots keep your feet dry, but I find them
very clunky. A Gore-tex like boot is terrific because it is waterproof,
but allows your feet to get some air, helping to keep them dry. These
boots are usually well insulated.
Gloves
Since
fingers and toes seem to
always get cold first, being the most extreme of extremities, it is
important to get quality items to cover them. I have found that
neoprene diving gloves or mittens are the best options for keeping your
fingers dry and warm for long periods of time.
Jacket and Ski Pants
These
should be waterproof and breathable. Their primary function is to keep
water from getting into the your insulating layer.
Sunglasses
When
walking through snowy areas, sunglasses will save your eyes which can
get quite bright.
