Quote: CVPost-Richard G. (quoted from post at 13:33:06 01/12/22) What kind of thermal underwear and boots do yall use to stay warm?
My legs and feet get cold when it gets down to freezing here in NW SC.
I know getting older does not help matters.

I can't imagine South Carolina getting really cold, but I'll give you my 2 cents as someone who's lived in the North all my life. Wool! I wear poly/wool long johns, heavy wool pants if it's -10F or lower, turtle neck, sweatshirt with wool vest, a knee length Swedish surplus parka, wool lined chopper mitts with light wool gloves under them, a wool, brimmed hat with ear flaps, a wool scarf if needed. For my feet I used surplus "Mickey Mouse" boots for years, but they tear my knees up. So I'm back to pack boots, American made Lacrosse "Icemans" with a wool liner and 2 pair of wool socks. Probably overkill for South Carolina, but if I'm out in -20F weather on an open tractor in a 20mph breeze... I don't freeze!
The vast majority of my stuff I buy for cheap off Ebay and it lasts for decades. There's a big difference between going from the house to the heated cab and calling it being outside and actually working out in the weather for hours at a time. It depends on what you're doing, but layers work.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
