Tips & Tactics

Inexpensive Snow Suit

Inexpensive Snow Suit

By David Garnetti

I live in Washington state where there's a 100 percent chance it will snow during the late season. My tip should help hunters in other states when it snows, even those who hunt in the Deep South because snowstorms sometimes stray into Alabama, Texas and Louisiana.

I've learned to use white painter's suits instead of snow camouflage for a number of reasons:

1. They're cheap. You can buy them at any hardware store for around five bucks.

2. They're light and portable. I keep one rolled up in my backpack for when there's a chance of snow. You can cinch them down tight with rubber bands so they take up very little room, and they weigh next to nothing.

3. They're thin. This is important to me because I like just a hint of my camo to show through.

4. They're disposable. If mine gets messy after I field dress a deer, I simply toss it.

Make sure to buy your painter's suit a size or two larger than you normally wear so it'll fit over your hunting clothes.
