I usually wear a pair of shorts or thin pants & take a 1/2 gallon jug of ice water. And keep plenty of water in the truck for the dogs. I don't see how anyone can sit in a tree for more than a couple of hours at the time, dog hunting is the only way to go for me. Nothing against any of you tree climbers, I do it once in a while during the week after work, but my Saturdays are reserved for the hounds.
