This afternoon, I decided to pull the ‘cold weather gear’ tote out from the basement of the rig. By this point, I had no idea what was in it. I vaguely remember doing a huge cold weather gear purge and consolidation back in Campbell River and the contents of the tote were a mystery.<\/p>\n

Behold:<\/p>\n

cold weather gear<\/p><\/div>\n

There’s several warm skirts in there, gloves, mitts, hats, a full-length reasonably dressy coat, a snow suit, and another four-season versatile activity coat. That last one made me groan. I worked so hard to find a fleece coat for hiking the Chilkoot Trail<\/a> and I had one all along! This neat coat uses a fleece coat as the liner, so you get three coats in one. It was my winter coat back when I lived in Lindsay, Ontario, from 2000 to 2002. I can’t believe I a) still have it, and b) forgot about it!<\/p>\n

But the real find was that skirt on top, the plum and brown one with ribbons. I love that skirt, used to get so many compliments on it, and thought I gave it up for my nomadic existence. Now, if it’ll only get cold enough for me to pull it on! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

As it ends up, I really won’t have to buy that much to be comfortable this winter. I need a bunch of tights and leggings and a few button down sweaters in neutral colours to layer over my long-sleeved cotton tops. I have a really cozy and cute pair of winter boots I bought for super cheap ($10!) in Omak last fall and I have to see if I can water proof them. If not, I also need a pair of warm boots.<\/p>\n

I’m really impressed by how much I was able to stuff into that tote (needless to say, most of it needs ironing), and I think that I might as well hang on to the clothes since they are accessible but out of the way, and do not use up valuable space I could use for something else.<\/p>\n

In other news, my boy has a new favourite place to hang out. If anyone can explain this picture to me, I will be very grateful:<\/p>\n
