Dressing For A Long Sit

Sitting still for five hours is colder than it sounds, even in autumn, so layers and a properly waterproof outer are worth more than one heavy coat. A hat and a pair of gloves you can still handle a hooklength in make all the difference on a frosty morning, and a decent pair of boots keeps you comfortable on muddy banks. A waterproof suit that packs down small lives permanently in the bag for a lot of people, which is the right approach given how quickly a nice day here turns into a squall.
