Finally... Back-up from someone who is educated and experienced in cold
weather dress codes.

Heh... we use the Hawaiian shirts and shorts as well on our Cabin Fever
Parties. I recall one night when Cominco convinced Six-Toe Pete it would be
funny to wrap a grass skirt around his waist and dance around the
bonfire..... it got a real laugh when he caught it on fire and screamed
running down the ice then dove to the ground rolling his 6' 7", 300lb
carcass on the snow like a flaming walrus. That little pond is now referred
to as "Swan Lake".....

Those were the Good Ol' Days!!! ;-D

| Long Johns are not underwear..... they are only referred to in that
manner
| by the ignorant and unwashed that have no clue of seasonal dress codes
or
| requirements. Liberals, Yuppies and Homosexuals generally refer to Long
| Johns as Underwear.
|
| When in season they are washed as often as you wash your clothes and a
| complete set consists of 6 pairs.
|
| When it's really cold I wear my silk long johns under my regular long
| johns.... it would be embarrassing to tell you how good that feels at 50
| below.
|
| Doesn't get that cold at sea (-30 or so) but I know what you're
| saying...
|
| Mooron's right & Nav's wrong. Long johns aren't underwear. Std dress
| indoors on Antarctic bases is thermals with maybe a pair of Hawaiian
| shorts over the top. Ditto on ship. We have outdoor BBQ's at -15C
| dressed in this fashion.
|
| Mooron, ya gotta remember that Nav's a Kiwi. They can't *afford*
| underwear let alone good thermals. This is just envy manifesting
| itself.

| | So according to your local lore Long Johns are not underwear? One
starts
| | to wonder what you think underwear is...
| |
| | Try a google on "long John underwear" to see the mistake in your
| | beliefs. Now how often do you wash your long johns?
