Do you have different sets of survival clothing? I'm curious to know I live in NY (upstate) and I'm thinking that we would need different clothes for the changing weather we have here. Right now it's snowing and we have 8 inches of snow on the ground. I wouldn't want my summer survival clothes. I'd need something much warmer.

Lucky. We only got a dusting the other night.
When I lived in Wappingers Falls, near Poughkeepsie I remember the double thick quilted down jackets. They kept some warm but not me. I thought they were a waste of money.
I wore hiking gear. It kept me warmer. Though I did like the traditional old fashioned wool varsity jacket.
We wore the heavy jeans but when they got soaked we got cold. But then we found this wash in water repellent so they stayed dry! It's a little bottle that you add to your wash and waterproofs and seals the fibers. Amazing stuff.
Mittens kept our fingers warm but made it impossible to handle anything. So we found these fun glove mittens down here, They are gloves with mitten tops that can come off or bent back.

A hat. I hate hats they make my hair static but I will wear one in winter.

if you don't wear glasses, then sunglasses or at least minor tinted glasses. My eyeballs used to freeze from the cold wind.
The thermal stuff never worked for me, but dance togs did.

I think it's certainly a good idea to have a few different sets of clothing available to rotate in and out of your bug out bag depending on the season or locale. Only takes a few minutes to change the clothes with the seasons.

If it's in your pack, but you don't know how to use it...it's useless. So, always test your skills as a form of preparation...Don't wait until your life depends on it. That's a lesson you don't want to learn the hard way.

I like to wear layers so I can add a layer if cold and take a layer off if too warm. Layered clothing really locks in warmth too but saying that thick fleeces are great if you are somewhere cold and sturdy walking boots are always great.

Jimmy- I love the gloves with the fingers that can be pulled back. I also am not big on hats but wear them when I'm out in the weather. Nothing gets me cold faster than when my head and fingers get cold. Plus you lose a lot of body heat out of your head if you aren't wearing a hat.

I agree- It takes only a few minutes to change out your clothes. It's something to be sure to remember.

I don't change out my clothes. I don't really have "summer" survival clothes. I do have a lot of layers however which includes underarmour which is good for all seasons. I keep both sunscreen and a heavy coat in my trunk year round.

I have some cold weather and rain gear that I wear for work.

I have Gore Tex socks that are quite thin and have a left and right foot. I don't think they replace larger socks and heavier footwear, but if you find yourself needing a lighter layer of socks, in less than "really cold weather" boots, they seem to be a good choice.

It is always advice able to become well prepared to face both the extremes ends of the climate, either it is very cold nor very hot. In my shelf I have got different sets, so that I can switch on to any kind of clothing I want.

I love the underarmour clothing. It is the best. Lightweight but very warm. I also have gortex socks. When my feet or fingers get cold- my body gets cold.

If you have a bug bag or any travel bag, keep the different sets of dresses you have, if you keep them handy with you at all times, you will surely be benefited by your act.
