As long as you could find one that is quiet, I think that is an awesome idea.

Just posted this in "Deer hunting"

I have battled cold feet for 15 years of deer hunting.
I had rubber boots with 3 layers of socks,
I had "OK" insulated hunting boots,
I had batt socks,
I had "hot hands" pocket socks.

Nothing really worked when sitting in a stand on a 20 deg morning,
Till I picked up a $10 kids camo sleeping bag at D!(k's.
Now I wear any $59 hunting boot, and once I am in my stand I step into the sleeping bag, drop 2 hot hands in, and sit down.
The sleeping bag comes up to My arm pits, so I can put my hands in if needed.

Now I do not get into my cover-alls till after the climber is on the tree and I am cooled off from the walk in,
This is like a "Poor mans heater body suit" and it REALLY works, and cost $10, not $300

Slack
quiet and waterproof.

you want kids one too, normal bag is to big and long.

sew suspenders on bag.

i am using a wool blanket with hole cut in middle for my head.
then i use artic boot blankets.

it is little easier to move in treestand than the sleeping bag.

my wool blanket is large one around 87 inchs from woolrich on sale for 21 dollars.

i look like JERAMAYA JOHNSON
