RE: What do you use to stay warm on stand ?
Move to Texas!!! Hunt out of a box blind 16 feet off the ground shut all but one window and crank up the propane heater. I know its not considered roughing it, but why suffer? If you stay on your stand an extra two hours because you are comfortable it will up your odds of seeing more deer. By the way opening day I hunted in shorts and a t-shirt that afternoon. Now thats roughing it Texas style.
