One other thing to keep warm. Make sure you eat food, just keep shoveling food down the hatch and you should have enough energy to survive the cold.

I work "outside" all day in North Vancouver and all I've been wearing is a t-shirt, paradox base layer top, nike hoody, carhart vest, paradox base layer bottom, carhart pants, socks, and blundstone steelcap boots. That's actually not much clothing at all.

I say "outside," because the houses I'm working on right now have no doors or windows or insulation. It's colder working in these wind tunnels than it actually is outside.

If you kids actually ate something maybe you wouldn't have to buy $9999.99 Canada goose egg jackets.

I didn't even buy a Milwaukee heated jacket as of yet, because I'm too cheap. Maybe next year.
Base layer and some good socks is all you need.
