Warmth while hunting in a Tree Stand

I try to keep my feet warm first and foremost.

Same. I like the hot hands/toe warmers.

My go to is a hot hand under my skull cap and hot hands in a hand warmer. Also I have great rain gear. If I get wet I'm done. I have a umbrella that attaches to tree. Works great. I can stay all day without getting wet even if it's raining.

Wind proof gear, merino will base layers, hot hands, puffy mid layer

Stormy Kromer cap.

what is the best way to keep warm during these unseasonably cold snaps while hunting?

---

good quality gears and layering.


Lets say I was hunting this morning (30* or less)

Cabela's E.C.W.C.S. Heavyweight Top and Bottom and I have the whole Sitka Stratus system which would all be on lol

but any good mid layers, a vest, and a jacket

Heavy pants and bibs

2 wool socks + lacrosse 800g boots

Anyone take any impressive bucks this season?

I will put on a pair of ankle socks first then stick the toe warmers on top of my toes. Next I’ll put on my wool socks making sure the toe warmers remain in place. This has been my go to for years. If my feet get cold, I’m done. They never get cold this way.

Chemical heat packs in boots and Milwaukee battery heated hoodie. Both are money. Heat packs in pockets sometimes as well

Ohhh and merino wool first layer... socks too

Super thin liner socks topped with thicker merino socks.

I'll put hot hands in my muck boots once I get to the stand. Just don't do it before you walk in. If your feet sweat on the walk in you are toast.

Quality beanie

Merino base layers, quality fleece pants, puffy vest.

Windproof outer layers

I've stayed warm for 10+ hour sits in sub freezing that way.
