How does one dress and do chores in that weather?
That is a real question, I am not being a smart donkey..........How does one dress and do chores in that weather?
Lots of layers. Gloves are a must and a face covering is a must. Anything exposed to even a little wind in this temp can get painfully cold in no time.That is a real question, I am not being a smart donkey..........
Yep, two pairs of pants, rubber hip waders on top of that. Several layers of shirts, heavy jacket, cover the entire face and double gloves. You will look like the Micheline Man, that's what I did yesterday at -20 wind chills.That is a real question, I am not being a smart donkey..........
Two pairs of really thick socks or three pair of regular ones. Insulated (but not well) hiking boots. Fleece lined jeans. Bibs. 3 long sleeve shirts. One thick. Insulated flannel jacket. Two pairs of decent gloves. Heavy stocking hat. Insulated thing that covers bottom half of face.How does one dress and do chores in that weather?
It makes me glad I don’t live up north!Two pairs of really thick socks or three pair of regular ones. Insulated (but not well) hiking boots. Fleece lined jeans. Bibs. 3 long sleeve shirts. One thick.

I have a ton of birds, pigs and two horses. Just a quick day of feeding and water takes about a hour.
Now I'm chipping ice with a hatchet and carrying water from inside house in buckets. Takes almost twice as long.
I just get at it as fast as possible and after 20 or 25 minutes fingers and/or toes can't take much more so I come in warm up then repeat several times.
It'll make you rethink having animals.
