January 3, 2015
Temperature - 33 degrees Fahrenheit
Time - 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM
Shoes/socks- hiking boots standard socks
Pants - long scout pants - standard.
Long underwear - none
Shirt - cotton tee - short sleeve
Mid layer - REI Co-op (650-fill down)
Outer layer - Foundry Supply Co - water resistant wind breaker polyester inside (kind of like North Face outer shell).
Gloves - yes, but took them off
Sock cap - yes
I noticed on walking out of the house that I was going to be warm. I got too hot while walking. In the last mile I unzipped my outer later to try to let some of the heat out.
Upon arriving home I took off my outer shell and found that my mid layer was wet with sweat.
Next time it is above 30, but below 45, I will attempt same gear but no outer shell.
My point in keeping up with weather, what I wear, and how warm or cold I was is so I will know what gear works with different weather conditions. This is for future camping trips. I don't want to show up at a campout with the wrong gear.
I have been out for a night time walk 7 of the last 10 nights, but this is the first time I've decided to blog about it. I hope to keep blogging about it until I get it right.
