How the HELL do you all survive temps like that? I've read the sarcastic answers, but I'm serious! When it hits below 40°F, that's it. My heat gets CRANKED.
Layers.....lots of layers.
When it was pushing -40, up top I had 2 long johns,t shirt, long sleeve t-shirt, two thin jackets, hoodie and then a fire proof winter jacket.
Down below was 2 long johns, Carhartt pants and a set of insulated Carhartt bibs.
Boots are insulated composite toe(steel bad in winter!) with 1000 grams of insulation, normal boots have 200g.
Insulated leather ropers for gloves, not that great, but free. Don't wear a toque under the hard had usually, gets too warm. But have the hoodie up to keep the wind mostly off your face and neck.
And safety glasses, your eyeballs can actually freeze!!!
When your mustache gets too iced up, you go in the truck for a warm-up.
Your nose hairs and eye lashes freeze.
It's good times!!! Lol
It makes the -20c days seem warm.
You get acclimated to it, and even -30c without the wind is fine. It's the wind that gets ya.
