RE: how to stay warm?
I hunt in Iowa late season muzzy where temps often times dip under 0 degrees with the wind chill...I found that not wearing cotton socks (b/c they make your feet sweat and when they cool off...ya...they get COLD) helps a lot to keep the feet warm. I also wear 1000 gram thinsulate boots. I just bought new Under Armour cold gear and honestly, ya it's expensive, but it's AMAZING. It's not bulky and it keeps you SO warm! I also found that if you can keep your hands nice and toasty it helps a lot so I take a little hand warmer tube thing that you wear around your waist and put a couple hand warmers in there. I don't even wear gloves...it's REALLY warm.
