Video Transcription

full exercise a little bit a little bit aerobic you know suck a little air up here 90 100 feet and having a great old time here's a lovely man really nice I'm gonna show you a couple other things here on my on my way around here but I'm out of them just a total blast here well this is a this parry peacock with wilderness innovation come out here a little over 9,000 feet up here above our our new shop here above Mount Pleasant and do a little snow shoot around the snow storm coming in today and looks like it's just kind of started just now but I want to show you a few things what I'm doing here as you can see I'm wearing a more in a poncho and this poncho I'm using as a wind shell times the wind is pretty pretty high here other time to kind of slacks off because the storms coming in but this the show keeps me keeps the wind off of me till anything underneath the show I have the fleece liner now my body I'm just wearing just my regular my regular tactical pants and I've got a hood on which is made out of fleece like we make I've got a thing see this here we've got a fleece liner here underneath the poncho so so the so the fleece liner is my is my insulation the poncho keeps the wind off of me and it's you know clear down to my cleared out of my shins so it makes like a long coat and it's a it's very comfortable out here now with the storm coming in and and then of course with that wind here pretty pretty gusty at times I really don't feel it much inside the poncho because it keeps all that wind off of me and one other thing because I don't really worry too much about sweat inside of here because long as the temperatures are below freezing ways any of my body moisture pushes through that fleece when it hits this outside the fabric of the poncho freezing ice crystals and falls at the bottom since the bottoms you know not enclosed so this works very nicely for me we've uh we've this is the third or that's about the third year that I've used this is my winter winter coat primarily out whenever I'm out and the nice thing about this poncho also they'll show you on another video this this poncho can be can be taken off and and used as a shelter you can make you has tie outs to make a see there's 12 tie out surround the edges here so you can you can tie it up and make a shelter or some kind like in the snow you could back up some snow and we'll show you some of this this winter as we get into some of this stuff and and in that then you could use this as a door on a snow cave or snow shelter or a roof just build your wall for the wind or something you put this over a roof I mean there's all kind of ways to use it and works really really well and I'm actually going to have to get out of here a little sooner than I planned some people up on the highway we're telling me with the storm coming in I can't stay in here too long because a god I'm just just down from the summit of the road here and and it's pretty windy on top and drifting so I'm about to get back out of here and probably do a few more things on another day but on to get a few things in today and mess around a little bit so I just trek around have a little bit of fun and I got a plow on out of here Oh fine being out here trekking around having a good old time finally a car little break to catch some snow the season fun-fun-fun love it love it love it love it one last thing I wanted to show is my honey temp will snow down here here's my here's my boot that I've been wearing like they say this is not intended to be used for snowshoeing but I've I've done for a couple hours here today best thing you're very nice it's worked very well with these this is a the tough snowshoe 36-inch ten inches wide I think but it straps in really nice here my foot out of here so you can see this there's the boot right there and it's at this bottom part right here is all Cordura nylon on there and on the bottom then it's a breathable rip stuff up here so when you sweat everything and your feet and all that it can the moisture can go out through the corridor or through the work through this upper right here to try to keep your feet from getting keep them from getting you know sweaty and moist and everything so it works really well like I say it's not at all intended for this kind of use I just messing around try it out but he's some nice three we have these on our website then just really intended as a really just intended as a boot liner if you have some if you have some large boots or something put them in here we put also in a mukluks shell that we make for suddenly haven't sold those yet but anyway very nice and you can just walk around companies wear these you can wear these to bed these boots into your sleeping bag to help keep your feet extra warm if it's really cold or just sitting around a camp or whatever really nice and even in a pinch they work you know reasonably well so soon so anyway this is Perry peacock just having a blast out here and a little bit of snow falling and this drop around the hills here loving the day I love it I love all seasons I've been looking forward to getting out in the wintertime here we just as I mentioned we just moved our moved our shop to a new much larger location to serve our customers better you know put out more production and avoid delays and backlogs we've sometimes had so we're really we're excited about that and we're you know we're about 30 minutes from where I'm at right now so it enables us to get out and do some fun things really really close to where we work and live so anyway Perry peacock Willis innovation have a great day enjoy your time out in the wintertime enjoy the beauty enjoy the snow and take care every day conditions here
