I will be heading to extreme northern Minnesota for the next several days to sip coffee, play cards, eat too much and maybe sit in a tree waiting for a deer to walk by that is likely not going to have a fawn behind her. My wife's family has been hunting in the Chippewa National Forest since the early 1930s. 360 days a year we live in normal homes with heat and AC, but for five days a year we pretend to be tough woodsmen.

My goal, since it is unseasonably warm in Minnesota, is to hunt kilted. It is firearm season starting on Saturday, and I plan to be in blaze orange when traveling through the woods, but if the weatherman is right it will be 60+f. Typically in Minnesota around this time of year it can get from 0 to -20f plus a few degrees cooler with wind chill.

The UK Workman and SWK Nightstalker should be warm enough with long hose and a bit if Brandy tucked in my sock.

I'll get photos, but for now here is the tent the ten of us sleep in. Lovely!
