[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3628318, member: 5412"] My feet used to get so cold, I couldn't hunt. More and more layers to try and help. What I found out was that more layers developed sweat getting the socks wet and creating the problem. Now just use Marino wool socks in one layer and a boot big enough to walk in and give some air space. Feet warm now! I use the walmart walking stick available in the camping section. Expandable to fit your height and the terrain. They have a dual tip. Flared for snow and a carbide tip so they will not slide off rocks. I remove the flare, but it's available. When our group elk hunts, I'm usually the only one with a back pack. It's typically ditched half way up on a stalk to come back to later for knives, etc. We hunt on a working ranch with access roads so recovery is by vehicle. I bought and modified a big plastic sled that is used in the great lakes for taking supplies out to fishing shanties to recover elk either by hand or by ATV or SBS. It's been used successfully more than once. One just has to adjust for the area/terrain. [/QUOTE]
