Duct tape has so many uses, I have just found another. Thanks for such a great tip. It never snows over here, but on days it rains, I will definitely use this tip.

@Blaine Thanks. I’ll try to get a picture up. I think temps are dropping down in that range again this week!

I like wearing a wick-dry skullcap under my wool hat. It keeps my head warm and dry, and expands the comfortable temperature range on both ends. Instead if thick wool socks, I like thin wool liner socks under medium wool socks. It is a good way to keep feet warm and dry. Smartwool and Wigwam both work well and last longer than others I have tried.
