Man Oh Man, is this the best kept secret in hunting or what ??
It was 25-30 deg today with winds, From previous years I knew I would be cold 30' up in a stand, I swung by Dicks and they had "Kids" camo sleeping bags for $14.00, it was a very light or "washed out" Digital camo pattern, perfect for this time of year, it was soft exterior, no noise.

I dressed as usuall, thermalls, coveralls, rubber boots.The sleeping bag packed very nice under one of the elastic foot straps on the summit viper. Climbed 28' up, got everything situated, opened the bag, stepped in, zipped it up and sat down. did'nt see a thing! but man was I warm and comfy, I even took a nap in that nasty cold wind.
The bag came up to about My chest while sitting down, I even kept My hands/arms in it. I think I will sew on some elastic "suspender" straps to keep it up.

The only other "bang for the buck" that ever came close was My $18.00 tree stand umbrella, that one saved a few hunting trips.
