SC - Way OT: Need advice to prevent freezing

[Elaine Koogler]

Be sure to wear woolen socks and good warm shoes, and try to find some mittens
with the ends of the fingers removed.  So far as a cloak is concerned, find a
good heavy, tightly woven piece of wool that is long enough and wide enough to
go around you, and cover enough of you from head to foot.  Put it on, pull it
around you and fasten at the neck with a large pennanular or brooch.  The only
other thing you might want to do is to put a hem in each end of the fabric so it
won't ravel.
