Looks like you've gotten enough recommendations on clothes, so here I go...

After you've figured out what to wear, which is always a compromise between movement/heat factor, bring along some empty carbs. I like M&M's. They don't stink too bad with the candy coating and they taste great. Eating a few handfuls is like throwing a log on the fire. Next, if I'm still cold, I put my poncho over my clothes, and it works pretty well too. Or just be tough!

just kidding!

I dont see how you all bow hunt with so many layers, the most I can hunt with is about 3: my thermals for first layer, sweat pants and fleece top for second, and ny cabelas late season coveralls. When it gets in the low twenties or less I have actually carried out my mr buddie propane heater and it worked wonders, although the heat rises straight up from it without the fan so you gotta huttle over it.

I just dont have accuracy for crap with piles of clothes on, niether do I have any accuracy when shivering cold. I dont know how they do it further north! More power to you up in canada lol! Originally from Upstate NY myself were I often carried the riffle trudging thorugh a couple feet of snow and wearing snowshoes or skis, but never bowhunted up there past october.

I've come to the conclusion that a good set of coveralls is what I'm looking for. Probably go with Cabelas or Gray Wolf.....

I shoot a recurve, so too many layers really screws with my flexability. Thanks for all the help.

I hope it's cold. I bought down coveralls. They are light, flexible, and WARM! When its cold they are the best! BUT - They are no good at all if it isn't cold enough or if you have to exert yourself. It's all or nothing.

So I sold them an got a light and heavy jacket. Then I got a long sleeve warm shirt and long undies, and overpants with zippers on the leg. I can take them off if . . . . Oh wait, that's layering. Sorry.

A warm hat and an extra warm hat and aneck warmer makethe best easy thermostat control you can take.

Good post. I got some good advice.

I have been cold for the last 10 years, but toughed it out.
Not this year, here is what I did that works:

I dont put My knit hat or cover alls on till I am rady to climb my stand.

I bought a kids camo sleeping dag ($14 at Dicks), The sleeping bag packs neatly onto the base of My climber, after I am up and cooled down for a few minutes, I unroll the bag, step in and pull it up to My chest, then sit.

It was 18 deg Sat morning and I was VERY comfy, PS I dropped a "Hot hands" pack into the bottom of the sleeping bag.

Try it, it's only $14 bucks.
