RE: cold weather gear
Not too sure what you call cold but look at BPS or Cabela's for the right thermal gear your looking for. They have thermal wear for the type climate your hunting. Dressing in layers isbest. Its easy to work up a sweat while going to your treestand and then the next hour your freezing your arse off. Right thermal boots/socks are one of the most important part of your clothing. If your feet are cold, your whole bodys cold. If your cold while hunting, your going tofidget and you won't see anything. Number one thing is you have to dress for the climate and be comfortable or its going to be pure miserable. After about an hour a persons body kind of acclimates itself and gets use too it, or at least mine does.
