3 Minutes with a Maine Guide 43 Gear 4 Wool Clothing
Registered Maine Guide Lisa DeHart continues the series on Gear with a look at traditional clothing, especially wool, and why it’s still the best.
Good show thanks
Hi Lisa, have you ever took a swim in the early season ( think end of April in Maine ) I am planning on a whitewater/poling clinic then and I have to plan on being ready for going in. Was thinking about a dry top/bottoms, but they are HOT
God I LOVE YOU! Only you would have me turning up the volume to listen to a pair of pants.
I love my overalls and just found some Woolrich I’m excited about. Wool is great.
Wool is great. I also do well with fleece. I hope you are going to discuss footwear. In the summer, almost any “water shoe” will do, but in the spring and fall is use Bean boots or neoprene. Both boots work, but my feet sweat. I found “toe warmers” in Bean boots work well to keep my feet warm. Thanks for your videos – great stuff!
How true I’m a trapper northern Canada. wool and fur are the way to go in extreme and changing weather. It’s almost impossible to do any physical work in nylon clothing. Love your channel hope your doing well.
eagerly hoping for a mosquito/black fly segment. we don’t have black flies in ohio, but our mosquitos will carry you back to maine and drop you off for the flies.
Where did you get those pants? Thanks
Interesting pants! How do they do with burrs and other clingers? I like wool have pants and some longjohns although haven’t found a good hunting wool jacket that’s affordable quite yet.
Yup, gotta git me a pair of pants to stuff a lotta crap in em! Yess’m.
Very true but it can be itchy. Plus it weighs a ton when wet then takes forever to dry. I have those pants. The plastc makes them Too noisy for deer hunting. Canvas has its place and some modern stuff is pretty food. Merino wool really does cut down on sweat stink. Thanks for the video.
I had 2 pair of those exact german army pants, and I was dumb enough to give them away years ago!
Wool is the best. You could buy military surplus for a cheap price and have for years. Unfortunately, all the old stock is pretty much gone. If you do see it buy it .
Well done!!!
Once again you are so right regarding traditional wool gear. I have my Grandfathers ww2 tanker pants very similar to yours an several Johnson wool jackets and shirts. The best for the woods an they also do not get stinky. Wool is that good.
Once again you’re 100% on the money!
All the old timers I knew growing up in the Adirondacks and Green Mountains wore head to toe wool 11 months out of the year.
Why doesn’t Wool rhyme with Cool? 🤣
all thanks !
Preach it sister! Wool is the greatest. I am always amazed at not only the heat retention when wet and lack of clamminess, but it’s comfort range of temps…not to mention it barely retains body odor compared to synthetics. What more could you ask for?
Another reason I like wool is when I am around the camp fire. Embers will not burn holes in it as they will with synthetics.
