Not from any state — but, I do have experience working outdoors, north of the Arctic Circle.

Fur — you can't beat it. While some of the newest synthetic materials come close, for holding in the body heat; you simply can't beat wolf or coyote fur, for the trim on a parka. When it's really cold (colder than -40*), you can draw the trim fur around your face & still look and breath through it. If you tried this with synthetics, you'd only succeed in creating icicles.

Buffalo robe, and rabbit fur lined elk hide boots & gloves.

More help to keep warm: Heap big pile of black rock that burns. Eat lots of fatty foods.

When all else fail, crazy monkey sex generate much heat...at least freeze to death happy.
