I used to think they were such a great bargain! This year I pitched four of them and will not be buying anymore. It's another great motivator to learn how to knit.

We are in the middle of Manitoba, and we warned him to bring every item of cold weather wear he had, and I figured we'd still have to out fit him. Boy! Did we ever! Runners just don't cut it in the -20's, and plastic pants are no good for keeping out that cold! Luckily, we had an extra pair of leather snomobile pants, and I always have the silk blend long johns around. I figure if I have to wear longjohns, dang it, they had better feel good! Well, we did end up getting the boys out hunting, but our friend was blown away by how cold it can get here(even though we warned him), and never thought so many layers would let him move as freely as he did.
