Work Clothing

I’ve recently started hunting during the day, and I found that simply going in pedestrian clothing doesn’t really help anymore. Not only do they provide inadequate warmth, but they also don’t provide any concealment from the game I am pursuing. Traditional hunting attire has never appealed to me, so I wanted to find something that was more inline with my tastes.

Luckily for me, Carhartt Overall has a model that is available in camouflage fabric. These were ideal for hunting, as they provided warmth and disguise from my prey. The overalls, obviously, also had an abundance of pockets to store all of my essential hunting accessories. They are definitely the best purchase I’ve make in a long time.

Many people don’t recognize that there are literally dozens of distinct designs of overalls available. While they all feature an assortment of pockets to house your tools, there are some distinct differences between brands and models. One of the companies with the widest line of overall options is Carhartt.

One of Carhartt’s bestselling models is their bib overalls. Carhartt bibs are the traditional style that most people are accustomed to; as the name states, they have a bib that covers the chest and provides additional comfort and warmth. While I love all of their products, these are unequivocally my favorite.

Frostbite is frozen water in body tissues. Like burns , frostbite injuries can be ranked in severity, with first-degree frostbite being the mildest. Fourth-degree frostbite is the most severe and may result in loss of the affected body part.

The most common parts of the body to become frostbitten include:

Fingers- Toes- Ears- Nose- Hands- Feet- Lips- Shins- Cheeks- Corneas

Frostbite happens when skin is exposed to freezing temperatures. This can cause the body tissue to freeze. Ice crystals actually form within the frozen body part and blood cannot flow adequately through the frozen tissue. This causes the frozen tissue to be deprived of blood and oxygen. The combination of freezing and oxygen deprivation causes tissue damage or tissue death. Rewarming may also ultimately lead to tissue death.

To help prevent frostbite, dress properly when going outside in cold weather. For example:

* Cover your head, face, hands, and feet adequately.
* Wear layers of clothing. Carhartt Bibs are a great way to keep warm!
* Wear materials that provide good insulation and keep moisture away from the skin (wool, polyester, polypropylene).
* Make sure you wear a waterproof outer layer and stay dry.
* Avoid drinking alcohol when you will be in cold weather.

As my Granddaddy used to say “Fasten your Thingumajigs and let’s get going!”

Granddaddy was referring to the hardware that held my bib straps but we never knew what they were called!

This term “Thingumajig” is a meaningless extension of the word thing. A term used to denote an object which the speaker cannot name specifically. First recorded in the eighteenth century.
