Question 3

what kind of clothing should we pack for a july trip during winter

For a July trip to AWS Lodge during the Argentine winter, layering is key to staying comfortable as temperatures can vary throughout the day. Here’s a detailed packing list recommendation:

*   **Base Layers:** Thermal underwear (tops and bottoms) made of wool or synthetic materials to wick away moisture and keep you warm.
*   **Mid-Layers:** Fleece jackets, sweaters, or insulated vests for added warmth.
*   **Outer Layer:** A waterproof and windproof hunting jacket. It should be durable and offer good insulation. Neutral colors like olive green, brown, or camouflage are recommended.
*   **Pants:** Warm, durable hunting pants. Consider insulated, waterproof options. You might want to wear thermal leggings underneath.
*   **Headwear:** A warm hat (beanie or trapper hat) is essential to retain body heat.
*   **Gloves:** Insulated, waterproof gloves are a must for comfort in the field.
*   **Footwear:** Waterproof, insulated hunting boots are crucial. Ensure they are comfortable and broken in. Bring extra pairs of thick wool or synthetic socks.
*   **Casual Wear for the Lodge:** Comfortable clothes for evenings at the lodge, such as jeans, sweaters, and casual shirts. The lodge is warm and cozy, so you won't need heavy gear indoors.
*   **Rain Gear:** Even if your outer jacket is waterproof, a lightweight rain suit can be useful for unexpected showers.
