>>2294795Were you in 2.5 or 3 layer Goretex? or pvc rain slicks? I'm convinced only rainslicks and membrane-out jackets will hold up to constant bad weather, and they're sweatboxes without ventilation
on the sox advice; yep, going to be rotating a lot, drying at breaks and using footpowder/creme and vaseline
>>2294788Good safety idea, if it's thigh high or above I'll definitely do this, otherwise I'll give the ghetto waders a go in safe water levels.
>>2294843Not gonna die I'm invulnerable to death and have safety backups and bailout routes, SARchads won't have to take off their slippers
>>2294907>>2295082>>2295029>>2294956Yep, gotta suck it up!
>>2295022Ah, great advice, though you're made of tougher stuff than me to bivvy in those conditions.
Ive heard those boggy conditions kill shoes with the acid eating the glue. got any tips for crossing them?
Are you talking about low temps with the thermal bases? Do you ever wear proper waterproof fabrics?
What's your footwear like, mesh, fabric or leather?
Alu blankie, I'll try that out
I eat like that most of the year too
I'll try it. don't mind being wet, especially in brynje gear, just don't want to be badly windchilled by evaporation of these wet clothes nor fighting the chill of and doused constantly in fresh cold wet rain
