Out and About with Jack Frost

Clothing I wear layers.
Remove layers if you start to warm up, you must not sweat.
Add layers as you cool, you must not get cold.

Below is an extreme set up, if any more is needed I try to stay in, and will be reduced according to forecasts.

Fluffy sports socks under walking socks inside boots.

Jogging bottoms, inside wind and water resistant, "outdoor", trousers.

Tee shirt under thermal vest under two layers of fleece with a breathable water proof outer hooded jacket.

Woolly hat, scarf, lined leather gloves and waterproof hat on all outings, except in high summer perhaps, even if may not be needed.

As I walk with a stick I use a Leki hiking pole with a walking stick style handle, this also has a tungsten tip under the rubber feral which digs into the ice, and a spring shock absorber for comfort. I have put a couple of rings of reflective tape around the barrel for high visibility after dark.

I attach this to my right wrist so I don't drop it by accident.
On my left wrist hangs my bus pass in a luggage tag, no struggling to find it.

I use a bag on wheels as it can work as a second stick for additional support, besides saving the need to carry shopping...

When the circumstances dictate I also use a shoulder bag for items needed on the voyage.
