RE: Secret to Keeping Warm
LOL Im gonna be the oddball here I guess. I usually wear nothing but base layer thermals for the walk to the stand. I always carry my clothes in a trash bag to the stand. I will stand there for a few minutes after I get there to let the heat from walking fade. Then I get dressed at the bottom of the tree before climbing. By the time I get up in the stand I am wrm but not sweaty warm. It usually takes me around 4-6 layers to stay warm under 40 degrees as my blood pressure and pulse rate stay very low at rest due to all the mt biking I do. The ol knee bends in the stand work if the chill starts creeping in.
