Title: Want cheap wool? Then man-up and...
Post by: jiane on September 23, 2010, 07:25:00 PM
...head to the Ladies section at your local Goodwill store.

I've been keeping an eye out in the men's section every few weeks in the men's sweaters since shrinking last year's find.  I just haven't been finding any.  Guys just don't turn over the clothes as often as the Ladies, and the Ladies section is always 3 to 4 times bigger.

Sooooo I wandered over and took a look.  They not only have the sweaters arranged by size but sorted by color as well.  I found a 100% merino sweater in grey and a 100% lambs wool in a brown plaid!!   Needless to say they are what they call "Plus Sizes".  I really don't care, just as long as they keep my butt warm!!!

Your hunting buddies will appreciate the way those sweaters accentuate your bust in the field.   :goldtooth:

Find a camo bra, cut it in two and you have two camo beanies.

I'm with you jiane.  Who cares where it is from, as long as it's warm.  And if the deer laugh...Just shoot them.  It will make you feel much better.

There is a secondary gain to be had from lpcjon2's idea.
Anybody hunting your unit will avoid you. Vigorously.

Jiane, I have no shame when it comes to clothing for the field. I have worn panty hose to keep chiggers and tics off. So a sweater isn't that bad.

A little tiny padded bra like my wife wears makes a great set of ear muffs.

Bad choice of words.

Just as long as they keep me warm.  My butt has nothing to do with it.

I'll have to draw the line at the panty hose though!!!!    :cool:

I wore knee high panty hose under my socks on long road marches in the army.  They keep the blisters from forming.  One of the toughest DI's I ever met told me about it.

Does it really work, or are you just trying to get us to wear panty hose?

This thread is hilarious. I almost spewed coffee on my keyboard. Up before dawn, coffee and paper. I check the obits to see if I need to continue. 6 mile walk then check this site with fresh coffee. This thread just made my morning.
Thanks. Prarrie Dog

I stopped at the Salvation Army on my way home from Squirrel hunting today, and picked up a St. John's Bay wool jacket that is also quilt lined for $7.  I love my new found stores.  The best part is I have one 3 miles on each side of me.

No bull The panty hose do work,and on those hot days walking through the woods it keeps you from getting the dreaded crotch rot and a rash. And for the seasoned gents with cardiac issues it keeps the circulation up top and helps with the lower leg edema.Worst case you could turn on the wife.   :laughing:    :laughing:

I can't do it!! Imagine if something happened to me??? Headline would read
" Hunteer Found Dead wearing Women's Clothes!!" Though the cause of his death is not yet discovered it was found that the body was violated by a group of hillbillies that came acrooss the hunter in the woods. One hillbilly kept repeating " He sure had a pretty mouth..
I would just die of shame..

If you hang those chin straps in the branches, you can use the cups as feeders, or bait holders.

Wow, all kinds of new uses.  If you dye them camo colors, you can use them in your stand to hold sammiches, binoculars, cell phone, candy bars etc.

You probably have and did not know it.  I heard some  Pro football players wear pantyhose under thier uniforms when playing in really cold weather.
