How many layers can one guy wear? - Part 2

The previous post described the ridiculous amount of clothing I intend to wear during the Cadomin hunt. But that ain't all...

Another layer

Paranoia kicks in again. Fearing that I need more, I will carry up the mountain an old ‘down’ coat. When I bought it, my size must have been sold out, because it fits easily over all of the other clothing, and comes down to well over the butt. The ‘down’ is likely mostly duck feathers, but I hope it will offer some extra protection just the same. Maybe I will look at an actual hunting parka instead, something in snow camo would likely fit the circumstances quite well. I also intend to carry a "Heat-a-Seat" cushion to sit on.

Lots of layers, some brand new, some well over a decade old

Head gear

I'm not 100% ready here. I have a light balaclava-type of cover that can form the first layer around neck, ears and head, leaving the face exposed. I can add on a variety of togues, a fleece neck gaiter and a fleece neck-gaiter/hood integrated thingy. All covered by the hood of the raingear of course. I'm debating one of those hats with furry or fleece ear flaps, but likely won't get one, as it disables the use of the hood on the rain jacket. And people tell me I need ski goggles, because the combination of wind and mine grit and dust can form a painful combination.

Gloves

Liner gloves, insulation gloves, heavy mitts over top. I had some stuff in the closet, and bought some at Mountain Equipment Coop. May still trade in the mitts for a heavier pair. I think this is the easiest body part to keep warm by adding chemical heat packs.

Strategy

Dress light on the way up, sweat as little as possible. After the climb, brave the cold and strip off wet undershirt, and replace by dry one. Likely similar for liner gloves (my hands sweat during a hard climb, believe it or not). Pile on the layers, hunker down. Make hot soup for lunch. Watch for rams!

And there you have it, sports fans... in retrospect it might have been easier and more effective to take out a loan and hoist myself into a brand new Sitka outfit. Time will tell.

If you see any blatant omissions in my plan, please tell me before November 20th!
