Notes:
1) On milder winter days it may not be necessary to have all of the above layers but if not worn they must be easily accessible in the top or pockets of a backpack.
2) Shoepaks or Mukluks should not be tight fitting as this reduces the trapped air necessary for insulation. Liners should be removable for drying (an extra pair of liners is a good idea.)
