The most important advice I'd give to campers - especially campers who
are fishing in cold weather -- is to take no cotton clothing. Use only
quick-drying synthetics and wool.

Very good advice.
And cotton is deadly in cold or wet weather. It's heavy, it absorbs water,
and is one of the best transmitters of your body heat to the universe.
