Don't let the cold winter weather slow down your enjoyment of the great outdoors.

Winter is here, and it's coming again next year. Wouldn't it be nice to know you've got all the gear and household items you need to fend through any winter, no matter how cold?

We took it upon ourselves to list out a few clear cut and lesser-known things that make a winter that much better when you have them on hand. These can all be found at Sportsman's Guide, and most of the items are on sale or reasonably priced in the first place.

1. Wool Socks

Yes, we started with the obvious, but Wool Socks from Guide Gear are always a winter must.

2. Waterproof Boots

These Guide Gear boots are great for shoveling snow, hiking to the stand, or just taking the dog for a winter walk.

3. Chukkas

While we're speaking of feet, stay warm around the house with these sheeps wool-lined Chukkas.

4. Fleece blankets

You can never have enough Military Surplus Fleece Blankets, ever.

5. Fleece Sherpa-Lined Shirt

We all know fleece clothing is great in the winter, but add a Sherpa lining like this Guide Gear shirt, and you'll wonder how you ever survived a winter without it.

6. Hand Warmer

If you're prone to sit in treestands for long hours in the winter, a Camo Hand Warmer like this is essential.

7. Portable Jump Starter

No one wants to get stranded in the winter, which is why a Portable Jump Starter and Powerpack deserves a spot in every outdoorsman's vehicle and campsite.

8. Cast Iron Dutch Oven
