RE: cold hands...try this!
JD IN ALBERTA ,
you can find a product called an overboot at: sportsmansguide.com , it' s like quilts shaped like boots that go over your footwear . This increases the insulation , and reduces the effect of the wind . If you use " shake and bake" warmers for your feet make sure that they are the low oxygen variety , the hand warmers quit working rapidly in the closed environment of a hunting boot because they deplete the oxygen they need to operate .
