By far the best footwear for extreme cold i've encountered is the Finnish winter boot, with felt liners.
M/91 winter boots
As long as you have a spare pair of liners and socks you can keep your feet dry and warm in sub -30f temperatures.
Wool middle layer and wind proof top is my choise for most situations.
1)Stay Dry!
2)Layer up, and remove layers when you start physical activities.
3)Keep Moving or make a shelter, don't stand around idle.
4th additional rule, drink, dehydration is a bitch even in winter.

Thin gloves..definitely.. try tying off a fishing line at below zero in a good wind at night with bare hands.. challenging.
I make all my rigs beforehand for that reason and use link clips to the leader.line.

here is a quick pic of my winter heavy cold glove system. I have a pair of 95% Polypro glove as inners, and a heavier polypro lined, Event membrane middle, kangaroo leather palmed winter mitts.
I have been out in mid winter scottish conditions and have felt roasty toasty with not even a hit of impending frost nip. The inner glove is good for those ten minutes digging a snow hole or scrape to get out the wind and undoing buckles and ropes.
So yeah I practise what i preach lol.
