Where can I get a pair of mittens like Tom Murphy was wearing? They appear to be rugged warm trapper-type mittens. Thanks for your help. A wonderful program. Merry Christmas.

Today I’m wondering if Tom Murphy’s camera was digital or film. I didn’t think to look Sunday while viewing the PBS special. Wonderful program.

The camera that he was using was a film SLR idk what model but i saw him changing the film in the Show since well you run out of memory and battery quick on Digital and you get better quality on film

Here’s a great family owned company in Minnesota selling some of the best gloves I’ve owned. http://www.uberleather.com/
