    I miss understood you I thought you were gonna brave the whole winter in 3mil boots. You do it depends how tolerant of cold are you . For a little extra warmth you can get some of them thremo socks . I seen a few guys using them with 5mil boots. I heard they work pretty well.

    You will need gloves borrow a set if you can if not good pair of gloves or mits are 40 dollars average

    Your hands will be cold and numb, but for a 1 hr sess they should hold up.
