This is from Maraniss’ When Pride Still Mattered. Page 416 in the chapter on the Ice Bowl titled simply “Ice”. Bob Kaminsky from Two Rivers is quoted saying this, “This is what I wore: Longjohns. Work shoes. Over the work shoes I put those heavy gray woolen socks that came over the knees. Pair of galoshes over that. Flannel pajamas over the longjohns. Work overalls. A T-shirt. Flannel shirt. Insulated sweatsuit. Heavy Parka. Face mask with holes for mouth and eyes. Wool tassel cap. And then I climbed into a sleeping bag. I had foam on the ground and seat for my feet and butt. I was not cold.”Foam is a great idea and so are sleeping bags. Years ago I discovered heated socks weeds is talking about. Highly recommended.</blockquote>
