One time I was a little anxious to go hunting, and got into my stand at around 4:00 in the morning. It was real icy out and extreamly cold. I got in my stand and kind of "glazed over" for a few hours, kinda like being half asleep. I felt somewhat warm but I couldn't feel my fingers. I took my gloves off and saw my hands were dark red and blue. My legs were numb and grey. I had to kind of jump out of my stand since I couldn't climb. It was close to the ground, 10 feet or so. I landed with a muffled thud, and still couldn't feel my legs. I crawled about 250 yards back to my truck. I pulled myself in and turned the heater on to warm up for about two hours before I left for home. It wasn't all that bad untill I started warming up, I felt like my skin was on fire and my legs were sore for a week afterwards. A scary experience to be sure.

"Hey ya'll, watch this"
