This video shows my layered clothing system for winter hiking in Southern Wisconsin. I captured video footage of my layered clothing system, as well as many still photographs of the surrounding landscape on the Blue Springs Lake Segment of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail (IAT). Other landscape photography sites included the Devil's Lake, Lodi Marsh, Table Bluff, and Cross Plains Segments of the IAT.
