This thread is full of sillyness.  If you don't know about cotton then good night in your Queen Anne condo.

We used to all know of someone who died from Hypothermia while hunting too.  Rarely hear of that happening anymore.  Is that GPS, guys no longer hitting the timber as hard, or could it be hunters are wearing better clothes?? 

In my youth I was involved in dozens of search and rescue events.  Zipped more than one body into a body bag.  Not one involved a hunter wearing wool.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Add cotton Jersey gloves to that as well. All my early memories of deer hunting with my grandfather seem to involve cold feet, cold hands, and lots of shivering.

If you can be more comfortable, why not be more comfortable? If you can wear clothes that will keep you warmer and more dry thereby allowing you to stay out longer in the woods, why wouldn't you? I had the bread bags on my feet as a kid too. That doesn't mean they work well or actually do pretty much anything at all.

Depending on how you look at it, cotton is the newcomer as wool has been around much, much longer.  It just happens to be cheaper and much less suitable for hunting.

While I would use cotton if that was my only option, i would prefer wool and synthetics. I've been miserable, wet, and cold more than once while hunting. It makes maintaining focus difficult. Over time I've invested in gear to help eliminate the things that contribute to discomfort while hunting.
If I was offered a full set-up, free of charge, that I had to use to hunt for the next 5 years I'm pretty darned sure there wouldn't be much cotton in there.
Maybe a pair of socks that are wool in the boot, but have cotton weaved in the calf area for wicking sweat/moisture up out of the boot.
Just my .02.

Who is wearing wool out summer bear hunting? This thread is getting a little ridiculous.

Im getting ready to turn a pair of my work bib overalls into to Tin Pants, and might try a pair of my Carharts as well. I love how rugged they are and like the idea of them being less snag prone and waterproof. probably the only cotton id wear in western wa while hunting.

My wife is into soap making and has a few pounds of bees wax. Did you only use the wax or did you use the oils as well?
