I just bought a used kelty kid carrier with a rain shield. I am hoping it will help block the nasty wind from my little ones face. I am thinking about adding velcro pockets so I can place hand warmers inside to help keep her warm. It is going interesting to see if I can keep my streak going.

Nice idea!

snow flakes are flying…

Since this thread is basically about caching in the winter and shopping at Pamida ;), I have a question to ask here.

What type of gloves do you guys wear when caching in the cold? I’m sure the bigger ski gloves might be a bit bulky to be able to navigate the buttons on a GPS. At the same time, the thin driving gloves may not be warm enough for caching. So I would assume you wear something in between.

I’m sure you remove the gloves once you find the cache and have to sign the log, but that only takes a minute. So no biggie there.

I take 2 or 3 different weights of gloves and hand warmers are a great help too.

the mitten gloves that open up to expose your fingers work well.

I was going to go shopping at Pamida today, but we didn’t have any snow.

we had flurries in Lakewood this morning, got a report from the Father in law in Mass City Michigan, they had over a inch this morning but it was gone by noon with the sunshine.

Pretty nasty driving around here this morning. When are people gonna learn that having 4 wheel drive doesn’t do ya much good on ice. Saw one SUV down in a deep ditch.

This is what I use during deer season, thou I wear a thin pair of polypropylene glove liners and hand warmers.

An oversize pair of chopper mitts and glove liners andhand warmers work well for easy on, easy off.

We found snow in isolated spots yet today.

I use nice big warm leather gloves, when I need to do something on the GPS I take them off quick and do it.
