Let's hear how you stay warm on stand,
 

Tell us about whichclothing/ materialsyou use for your base layer and all other layers. I'll tell you one thing...No more rubber boots. They just aren't warm enough (Not even La Crosse 1600). I just bought Cabelas Inferno 2000 boots. Gonna try them out this weekend. I definitely think they will do the job!

I have ScentLok's Timber Fleece 360 and that stuff is amazing. I wore it for the first this year this past weekend and only for the morning hunts. It was about 41 degrees when we left the truck. I did not weara base layer, other than a tee shirt and I was very comfortable. Last year (first year I owned it) during the Indiana shot gun season, I wore it teamed up with underamror as a base layer and stayed very comfortable (lows were sub 20 degrees, highs were low 30 degrees). As far as rubber boots go, I have never had a problem with them either, I hunt in Mucks and wear a single pair of socks.

I hunt in Texas, so there is not much to staying warm. Every once in a while, it may be around the freezing mark towards the end of the season. One thing that I have learned it to cut a peice of carpet and put it under your feet in the stand. It make a big difference having your feet on it rather than the cold metal. Nice and quiet too.

Wear as little as possible going out to stand. Take your time and go in slowly so as not to build up a sweat.
Keep adding the layers as you begin to cool down. Keep your head and neck area very warm. This will keep the rest of your body warm.
Polypro against your skin, Wool as the insulating layer, Goretex as the outer layer

RE: Let's hear how you stay warm on stand,
 

All fantastic advice, especially the bolded sentences. It took me over 10-12 years to finally figure those excellent points out....I know, I am a slow learner.

RE: Let's hear how you stay warm on stand,
 

My best piece of equipment is my fleece had warmer tube. It's just a tube that straps around your waste. I pack it up with about four hand warmers, i don't even need gloves.

RE: Let's hear how you stay warm on stand,
 

Have a hand muff. I wear mine on just about every hunt, keeps my hands warm as heck, plus i dont have to wear big bulky gloves!

Now I just gotta find out how to keep my size 14's warm....[:@]

RE: Let's hear how you stay warm on stand,
 

i layer and dress when i get on stand so not to sweat. i wear about 3 layers depending on temps. i also read a good idea this year-- putting on one of those therma care heating patches on your kidney area. this is supposed to act as a heater and keep you warm. i am going to try this. as far as rubber boots i agree. no way to keep your feet from sweating and getting cold. but there are some tricks such as wearing a wicking layer of socks and then a wool layer that seems to help quite a bit.

RE: Let's hear how you stay warm on stand,
 

Thermacare heat wraps are a life saver.:)

That there is what id call a true story!

RE: Let's hear how you stay warm on stand,
 

Under Armor cold weather long sleeve shirt, 2 pairs of sweatpants, 2 sweatshirts, thick socks, outer layer pants and coat. Rubber boots keep my feet warm. They are 1200 gram. I also have a hand warmer that you buckle around your waist. I still wear some thin gloves, but this really keeps my hands toasty. I also usually keep my hat off until I really start to get cold. Otherwise, I tend to sweat pretty easily. I believe that your head is almost the "thermostat" of your body. You can usually warm yourself up or cool yourself off by your dome.

RE: Let's hear how you stay warm on stand,
 

Absolutely one of the best pieces of equip you can own. ditto! If you can find the handwarmer tubes that are angled, somewhat like shallow "V", they are easier on your wrists. I know as I have both. I don't wear a glove on the release hand.

RE: Let's hear how you stay warm on stand,
 

I bungee my coat to my tree stand on the way in to my stand. I also love using a hand muff with a couple of hand warmers thown in. When it's really cold I'll use a heavy face mask.

RE: Let's hear how you stay warm on stand,
 

Heck, y'all just about have me sold on the fleece handwarmers.

I use a neck warmer, it's great. The one I wear is polypropylene, but I sell fleece neck warmers. One size fits all, woodland camo, $7 + 4 shipping. E-mail [email protected] if you're interested.

RE: Let's hear how you stay warm on stand,
 

well i bought a set of insulated coveralls and some insulated gloves. I could not find insulated boots to fit me so i am screwed there.

RE: Let's hear how you stay warm on stand,
 

Me too, works everytime :D.

RE: Let's hear how you stay warm on stand,
 

keep your neck warm!!!!!!

all the blood in your body passes thru your neck at one point so if its warm, you will be warmer for sure........also wear a boot that is 2 sizes bigger than what you usually wear, that way you can pile on socks and your foot wont get constricted blood flow, making you warmer


and for the final tip! lol keep your wrists hidden where the cuff and glove meet, this area will get cold quickly and the coldness will spread, so try to pull your gloves up over the cuff or vice versa

RE: Let's hear how you stay warm on stand,
 

Just light a little fire.:D

RE: Let's hear how you stay warm on stand,
 

I wear my rubber boots in the snow brotha, Wool socks is the only way to go. Cotton is designed to keep you cool...

End of story. I just keep something moving, usually my toes in my boots, that way it will stimulate circulation and its not visable, and if Im really jonesing it I'll stand up and do a few Squats. Do about 10 and you'll be warm.

Trust me.

Just be careful.... Seriously.

I haven't had a cozy little napalm morning since 1968.. and I can't say I miss it much.:D

RE: Let's hear how you stay warm on stand,
 

Plain and simple........... I dressfor the conditions, add layers the colder it gets.

that quote thing you got, gets me laughing every single time i read it. it thinks its Histerical cuz when i would go hunting with my buddies, thats exactly what they would do. meanwhile im in the same care with them and all myhunting clothes were in black glad bags, closed tight, they are wearing all there gear smoking 50 cigs each on a 2 hour drive, and they got the windows down on a 20 degree night for "scent control" cracks me up every time.
