“There’s no bad weather, only bad clothing” is a saying that’s been attributed to Norwegians. Did they actually say that? Who knows, but it sounds Norwegian. I possess enough cold weather clothing to venture out in any weather the trick is to know the appropriate level of coverings. Often I’ve said to other pheasant hunters “If you’re not cold when you leave the truck you’ll soon be a ball of sweat.” That’s because pheasant hunting is walking on uneven ground often in thick vegetation. That creates much internal heat. The challenge is to wear enough to defeat the cold without too much turning the hunter into a sweat machine.
Today was a good test for appropriate cold weather gear. With the temperature about 20 degrees and the wind almost 20 mph wind chill was listed 6 degrees. Of course the true effect of windchill is on the naked body not a hunter dressed to hunt pheasants. This is a day when I got it right.
Kaia? She comes equipped with a fur coat so she loves the cold. Much better than a hot day when she needs plenty of water to drink. She’s my first dog that doesn’t plunge into the first slough she finds. Of course they are all frozen now.
