CLOTHING

Paddling thermals

A. Kokatat fleece shirt
B. Immersion Research
     thin skin pant

Camp/Town Footware

A. Hiking socks
B. Seal Skins waterproof socks
C. Sport sandals
Note:  With these three items I was able to handle the winter portion of the trip without too much trouble.  I did wear my Kokatat boots when I had to shovel snow out of the truck in Wisconsin.  A breathable version of the waterproof sock would make this system even better.

Camp / Town Jacket

North Face synthetic fill jacket.
This jacket quickly became one of my favorite bits of gear.  I don't think the cold weather portions of this trip would have been as tolerable without it.  The day I wear this one out it will be immediately replaced.
