Ditto on Carhartts and make sure to wear layers...T-shirt, flannel shirt, hoody, jacket...for warmth and to strip down to the right layer.

Definitely get some UnderArmour base layers. Their's really some science behind the technology behind them keeping you dry which keeps you WARM! Learned about it chemistry!

I know we don't know each other, and most likely will never meet, but you were there for me when I needed a shoulder to lean on while my father was in the hospital for all those months. I'm so glad that you might be getting a great job real soon. That has to be very exciting for you, would be for me if I had been looking as long as you have for great job.

As always I'm the last from this forum to say my piece. If you have a army surplus in your area, try them for your longjohns and other outerwear, they always great warm stuff to buy, and it's inexpensive to boot.

I wish you and your family all the best life has to offer my friend!! If you're ever in my area, please call me. (I'll be pming you my information once I write this) May God keep an eye on you and yours when you are away from home!

Harold
