As an easterner, I just got back from a January Mt 'ote
hunt.
Two of us were not locals, so packing was a chore.
But I must say, clothing was very important; cold temps,
wind and nighttime are were part of the trip. I took a
heavy bag and used all the clothes except a pair of
shorts. I was comfortable all the time, never broke
into my hand warmers, no need to.
Gloves (two pair) and face masks along with ski googles
and sunglasses were all important.

Yes, dressing correct is more important than sighting in
my rifle...and often tougher.
PS when I got home I found my pants to my white camo
suit...just in another pocket in my bag sh%t, old man's
memory.
