[size 2]well I covered gloves on your other post, but I can reitterate it here, no problem, no inconveince, dont mind the effort, its what I do....[sly][/size]
[size 2]in the for mentioned post I had said you will want at least two pair of gloves and a muffler.[/size]
[size 2]you want the heavy gloves to get you out on to the ice and again off of the ice. this pair should be a heavy pair of mittins. this way you keep the circulation in your hands. you dont want any thing that restricts the blood flow to your hands. these gloves will keep you in good shape comfort wise so that you wont already be forzen once you have reached your fishing destination.[/size]
[size 2]for your second pair of gloves a thin pair of cotton gloves will provide you with the needed comfort level and manoverability in the cold to handle fish and remove hooks. here is where the muffler comes in to play. the muffler is like a large tube sock open on both ends that hangs around your neck like a perce. when you are not in action while fishing on the ice you hands will be resting in this muffler.[/size]
[size 2]a good quality muffler will be insulated and both the inner and outer liners will be made of animal furs. muskrat or mink is the best for the inner liner and your long haired furs for the outer liner. (best is wolf, but that is a protected fur, so cyote is next best then folowed by cariboo)[/size]
[size 2]note these are if you are the die hard angler and are going to fish out in the open in the eliments like I do. I dont venture more than a hundred yards from my house to fish so you will need to do as I say and not as I do....[/size]
[size 2]if you are going from a car to a shelter then back to your car then you will not need as much weather protection from the eliments as suggested here. for example those boots that are rated for -120. you feet will sweat and freeze at wormer tempritures. it dose not matter where the water comes from, weather it be from stepping in to a puddle or snow melting on top of the boots or sweat from the inside . the key is staying dry.[/size]
[size 2]cotton layers are best for undergarments 2 or 3 large t-shirts will give you lots of protection against getting your outergarments wet from sweat.[/size]
[size 2]I wear two t's then a sweat shirt then another t' over top the sweat then I pull my winter coat over that. I am able to set out on the lake for hours after my fishing buddies are back in their homes trying to thaw.[/size]
[size 2]same with pants. wear sweat pants under your geans then your overhauls over your geans and drop the legs of your overhauls over top of your boots and close them off with eather provided snaps or attach a shoe string device that will close them around your boods this will keep drafts from entering from below.
