Hi, my name is Sheryl McGlochlin with crazysheryl.com. Welcome to expertvillage.com. We want to talk about some of the very important accessories besides clothing that is really important to bring and wear. A lot of people only prepare for the nicest warmest day in the winter but that is a bad thing to do you should prepare for the coldest worst condition. Over here on Oscar this is for, we take people snowshoeing when it is 0 degrees and this is for a very very cold day. This is a hold complete head thing that would go completely over the head. If he starts getting really hot he can go ahead and peel it down around his neck and keep peeling it on or off. That is a important thing. Of course gloves are critical to have a nice thick pair of gloves that you can still maneuvers in. Fred is wearing a hot neck gator and he can kind of keep his nose and his mouth warm and he can pull that down whenever he needs to. If he starts getting really warm. Another thing that is really important is one of my most important things to wear is wool socks that wool is like critical. These are a special kind of wool socks that would keep your feet nice and comfortable and never hot and never cold. Just really really comfortable. Then of course a nice head, beanie cap that you can wear on your head to keeping your ears warm is critical. On your legs if you don't have snowshoes you can wear gators and we would talk about that more later and these are some of the accessories that are really good to wear when snowshoeing.
