I'm 30 years old and I've never been diagnosed with having frostbite but growing up on a farm that doesn't mean alot<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>! It's just that we didn't go to the doctor very much. I had a broken ankle once when I was younger and my treatment was to wrap it in socks until the swelling went down about 5 days later and I could wear my regular shoes again. My parents never knew it had been broken until later when I was in the Navy and the x-rays showed it, I however had a sneaking suspicion when I couldn't walk for about a week<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>!

This weekend being the opener I'll be sure to try a lot of these ideas. So far I agree, silk socks, pac-boots, foot warmers, they all help down to about 20 degrees, but the problem is duration, they just can't seem to keep me warm for any considerable length of time. That's my concern, being able to stay on stand all day. 2 years ago when it snowed and got bitter cold I was able to last until 11am and just as I was getting ready to head in I shot my buck. Last year was unseasonably warm and I was able to sit all day and shot my buck at 2pm. I'm just trying to find a way to make it more bearable for those long sits and hopefully this suit will help.
