Its that time guys.
Any deals out there this year? Usually la nina years are great for finding good deals on silvers, lots of sales because its gonna be a mild winter

I just buy the nylon crap every major box store sells and it works. I'm up for two light weights and 1 medium weight now.

I've thought about spending 400 bucks on the hunter merino stuff but I ain't got the money to draw an elk tag so fuck that

>>2845521
Doesnt the nylon get super stinky? I usually go for merino when I have the cash or cotton when I dont

>gonna be a mild winter
If german winter were any more mild we'd just call it autumn.

>>2845526
it because those global warming?

>>2845522
Oh yeah it stinks. But if you don't stink are you really hunting. The hunter detergents get rid of tide. The animals don't give two flying fuks if you smell like balls. They care if you smell like tide detergent.

I guess? We used to have weeks of snow, now it's days at best. Sleeding through the forest, now it's all mud. Last year we didn't have a single day of full snow cover where I live.

I like Stanfield's heavy-weight 80/20. Two pieces only. Hate the 1-piece.

It would be really nice to get some photos of YOU guys wearing your undies....

Yes, at the age of 35 I finally got into "thermal underwear" as they are called here. What a gamechanger - I am stood there in the street with a set of these on, the harsh wind blowing, and all I feel is comfy in comfy town. I was struggling to keep a hoodie on in fact.

I think a life where you can wear a fresh set every day is the way forward. Mine were just cheap ones from amazon but now I wonder why I walked around feeling winter cold for all those years.

you need to teach your people to call them Long John Silvers or LJS for short

>>2845520 (OP)
Just scored half off on smartwool ones through Sierra last week. Don't get the base layer tops though; itchy AF despite being called merino, and probably why those are discounted.

>>2845731
Do you have a link?

>>2845520 (OP)
Does no one have the original Long John Silvers thread photo?

When this board was started, it was so slow. Not many people were into camping or hunting so /out/ did not get much traffic/
Then popular culture shifted and young people fancied themselves outdoorsy. This place became pretty fun for a while with lively, edgy discussion and humor. This thread was a yearly staple.
Now the storm has passed and far fewer people go camping. All my favorite places are just about empty again like when I was a kid. Its really lovely.

I do miss what this place once was though

First frosty day and I am breaking out the LJS from last year.
I am down to two per and need to replemish the flock.
Would love to hear suggestions

Just *how* good can these things be? I've got a few cheap sets and they definitely improve my daily life a ton for simple garments. But the ones I bought, though good, were also cheap.

How warm do these things get, when you spend the money?

>>2846372
Have you ever tried merino wool socks? Its like that

>>2846372
There's a limit where knit fabrics are just too heavy and you're better off wearing padded pants. But yeah, a woolpower 400 is pretty damn warm.

100% cozy.

In the NE US I bought about 3 or 4 each tops and bottoms a couple of years ago at walmart when they went on clearance in the early spring for like $2 each. I went back a week later and the only ones left were the opened ones and a couple 3XL ones. They may have just sold out but I suspect a reseller went in and just cleaned them out which they seem to do with a lot of cheap clearance stuff lately.

>>2846568
this makes me angry
people are so greedy I hate resellers so much

>>2845520 (OP)
Turns out /fa/ is also having a long john silvers thread

>Will wearing long johns help me fuck girls who look like this?
No. Now go back to your containment board.

I have started to wear my loungewear inside out. There is just no good reason to not do this, it’s way more comfortable on the inside without all the stitching. You can even buy stuff that was already made inside out, now that’s smart.

Yesterday I wore brynje top and bottoms under a jacket and pants in this weather and it was nice and cozy.

>>2846694
those are sweat pants not LJS

Looking for the absolute cheapest LJS
Amazon or Walmart? froot of the loom will do

what about silks

>>2847357
Not as good as merino when it comes to wicking sweat, also not as good for body odour. Depending on how well it's made, silk usually tear easier. But in my opinion it feels better on the skin than the other alternatives. Less weight, less bulk as well. Perhaps a merino-silk blend could do well (not tried it myself).

>Not as good as merino when it comes to wicking sweat
Perhaps not, but its far sexier

>>2847276
Stanfield's site has a 25% merino long sleeved top on clearance for $20 Leafbucks. Small only, tho.
