Default RE: Staying warm on stand?

I told my wife how excited I was because this weekend I managed to stay warmwithout shaking all weekend - in the mid 30's.
My hike is about a mile in so I don't even dress up until I'm under my tree. All my clothes are tied onto thepack. On the hike out I'm wearing sweat pants, a long sleeved shirt, and a warm cap. I'm a little cold at first, especially if it's windy, but anything to keep from sweating. Under the tree I take off the socks (theyare damp just from sweating)and replace with 2 pair of dry warm wool socks, replace the t-shirt with about 5 layers.Head gear is a fullknitted head cover and then a fleece cover on top of that. I hope the same works forthe 20's because I don't think I could wear much more.
