Winter Wheeling/Overland

[Hiluxoverland]

I'm just wondering what everyone is carrying in your rig extra for our winter months. I'm pretty well prepared usually. I just keep an extra hoodie, snow pants, and a wind proof winter jacket and gloves. Have spare gloves and lids for any extra passengers or people in need and some of those chemical warming things for your boots or gloves. Thought about carrying extra socks but how far is to far really? I have an XJ and between tools, spare parts and all the gear that's in there already I am finding myself thin on available space.

Snow gear: heavy duty snow pants, big parka, big snow boots, extra gloves, mitts, toques, neckwarmers, balaclava.
Shovel - typically a large scoop type aluminum grain shovel.
Extendable snow brush

The standard recovery gear, first aid kits, extinguishers, etc typically is always in the FJ.

Yeah, seems pretty standard to what I keep too, Thinking others where about the same just unsure. Always feel like I am leaving something out that I'll need and not have

I usually have winter survival gear onboard for winter travel in the oilfield, extra layers and thermals etc.

My sleep system for the minus double digits is a three bag system - a fleece sleeping bag liner, inside a sleeping bag, inside another sleeping bag.

The rating on the outer bag is -5c, the inner bag is I think +5c comfort rating, and the liner, I have no idea, but when combined, I was able to sleep very toasty and warm at -15 to -20c so far.

Best thing is, it was cheap and consists of stuff I already had.

Agree on the full parka and gloves, but depending on where I"m going, I usually don't take snow pants. Always long johns plus an extra pair though - the long thermal underwear is a game changer in super cold conditions.
