lifevests? i figure if i go in anywhere up here, help won't be there and with our temps, i'll be dead in 3 minutes anyway, so i don't even bother with lifevests.
There is a temp where they become more of a novelty.
And I have seen -50 once and I will never go hunting in that.
yeah i'm pretty sure next time i see that i'm saying fuck it and getting morning poon instead.
At 0 I'm going with morning poon.
