Does anyone know of a cheap set of gloves for Cold weather? I Will be in Idaho and colorado this year and imagine i will run into some snow.
Personally I have never found a set of gloves, regardless of price, that I'm happy with. I have a pair of Carhartt chopper mitts I got for like 20 bucks. They are very warm and I can basically throw my right mitt off in less than 1 second if I need to take a shot.

I usually pick up a set of these Head gloves at Costco whenever they start setting out the winter gear ($18). Has worked great for snow blowing and cold weather work:

Carhart puts out a good winter glove but a little more expensive than the head:

How a glove fits is the most important factor, in my opinion. It doesn't matter how expensive a glove is, if it limits circulation, your hands freeze. Try on a bunch before buying anything. I've had better luck with cheap Walmart gloves than anything. Not because they are better, but that I've stumbled on to a pair that fits me perfectly.

I posted a link to some tough rubberized and insulated gloves earlier in this thread. Just search my post history in this thread. They are great gloves.

M65 military overpants for +-$20 on ebay= cheapest glassing pant and pillow stuffer. Moving the buttons back on the leg for more overlap at the sides adds considerable warmth.

Love those wrangler pants. discovered them a couple years ago.

While trying to cut weight on a trip, I swapped my ultralight thermarest cot for a Alps Mountaineering air mattress, cheaper ($60) and every bit at comfortable in my book. Now I prefer it.

Nite ize cam jam. Lightweight, and nearly endless uses. I use them for tensioners on my tarp, hanging game bags, holding a critters leg for gutting.... you name it

Agreed on Wrangler pants. Had been eyeing them at North 40 but around $65 a pair was kind of steep to try them. Girlfriend later dragged me into target for her crap and they had the same ones for $25!
