Lt. Bronner sent the following notice about getting your cold weather bags together as the temperature drops. If you have a cold weather bag share what you have in it so others can get an idea of what works and what doesn’t. Stay warm. Read On.

i carry an Underarmor beanie and facemask. a pair of firefighting mittens. along with always 1 extra pair of gloves and nomex hood. always have foot warmers and hand warmers in my gear bag.
I like to carry an old zip up sweatshirt, two pairs of wool socks ( NO COTTON) hand and foot warmers are a god send, couple granola bars, hand wipes, a wool watch cap, extra battery for my survivor, a hand towel, and gum. I keep a second winter beanie in the shell of my helmet so it's handy. Stay safe.
