Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newarth, and today we're joined by Brody, Corey, Nate, Omar, Sarah, and John. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters for Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. There is a prize. Meedeater will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winners choosing. We're starting today's show with a mailbag question. If you want the crew to answer your question, send an email to trivia at themeedeater.com. The subject line mailbag. This is from Eric from York. He says, any advice for staying warm on a cold winter hunt without overheating? I hunt northern PA and I usually walk one to two miles in
then have long cold sits usually posted up in some sort of downfall. Any tips or gear suggestions to keep you warm without fully overheating first? John, you work at the flagship store downtown Bozeman. If Eric from York came into the store and told you his conundrum, what advice would you give him?
Well, the first thing I would say is to- Fellow PA guy. Yes, yes. Grew up in Spring Mills, Pennsylvania. I would say pay attention to that next to skin layer first. You have to keep yourself dry. And I just know from my experience, as soon as that next to skin layer gets soaked, it's game over for pretty much the entire day. So my recommendation would be, whatever you're going to, a tree stand or a ground blind, Uh, hike in with the least amount of stuff possible. Keep your body dry. It's gonna be cold. It's gonna be uncomfortable. Um, but once you get to your stand or wherever you're hunting, I think he said he was sitting in like a pile blow overs or something like that. He calls it downfall. Yep. Once you get there, take a second, let your body kind of dry out, vent, and then put on your heavier clothes.
It's it's easier to be miserable for one hour hiking in than for the entire 12 day. There you go. Um, I would also recommend, um, driving to your spot, whether you're leaving from camp or anything, don't put the heater on full blast when you're going from point A to point B on going to a trailhead or whatever. Um, that makes your feet sweat. And I've learned that the hard way as well.

That catches up to you pretty quick.
Brody, any advice for this other PA hunter?
No, I think John got it. I mean, the main thing is hike cold, like, and you're not even going to be cold for that long, unless it's like, minus 40 degrees or something like you can hike in 20, 15, 20 degree weather with like a base layer as your upper layer. And, you know, maybe some LJs and pants, but like hike cold. And the other thing I would say is that don't be afraid to build a fire, man. My dad and his buddies used to hunt like the mountains in Pennsylvania all the time. And they would stand around a fire often and they killed bucks doing it.
Absolutely. And don't be afraid to pack an extra set of base layers with you too. If you absolutely think you're not going to make it through the entire day without sweating, have a dry set of wick base layers to go.
It's just like a fact of life. If you're sitting still for 10 hours, you're going to get cold. I don't think there's any amount of layering that's going to get you around. You're going to get cold. So you're going to have to get up and walk around now and then.
Any other advice for Eric?
I'm a big proponent of taking the truck heater thing a step farther and never driving in the socks that I'm going to wear into the field. Change the socks at the truck before you leave. They're going to get sweaty.
