Best Winter Chore Clothes for Homesteaders

WINTER – which means you have to wear layers, lots of layers, and not just layers of anything, but you have to have the “thinsulate” or “thermalite” tag on much of your outerwear! Long johns are a must –  what you need is the duofold kind (Duofold is a brand, and it implies two layers). Insulated Columbia snow boots are wonderful, especially for trekking! I have traveled some considerable distances up and down the country and my feet were not the least bit sore by the end of the day! I would recommend using a couple of pairs of socks which are almost always Smartwool (it’s a brand),

Obviously a scarf and a hat are a must! A coat which is not an insulated, and the outer layer nylon. This means that the hay or firewood fragments don’t stick to it and then wear a Columbia fleece jacket underneath it.
