When sitting for a period of time in the bone chilling weather and just need a quick warm up, stand up and place ur hands against the tree and start walking while holding yourself back for a half a minute or so... it's not much but it helps me if im getting cold!

Haven't deer hunted yet, but you could probably get a handwarmer pouch thing that quarterbacks and recievers wear to keep your hands warm for a longer period of time then you dont have do deal with gloves when you want to shoot

This might not seem like much to some of you but I think a foot rest is a very nice accessory. I'm 6'3" and use an API bowhunter which has a good size platform to it. I made a footrest that extends the platform by about two inches. It gives me several ways to position my legs and when times are slow I can really stretch out by putting my calves on the footrest letting my feet hang off the stand in a less vertical position than they would without the footrest. Between the sling seat that comes with the API and my additional footrest it is a very comfortable stand (for me). Just my $.02

Hurrying up the side of a mountain in the dark, trying to get ahead of the elk in the morning, is a big booboo. The sun starts coming up and the sweat will make ya freeze to death! One of my worst mistakes hunting. Leave early and take your time and don't carry anything you don't really need. And I prefer to wear outer layersinstead of long johns for you cantake them off easier when it warms up, and put them back on if you stay until dark.

When it is really cold -20 or lower, a thermowrap on the back is great. It's amazing how much easier it is to keep the extremeties warm when the core is warm. I rarely where gloves but use a thinsulate pouch for the hands. A warmer in the pouch also helps. Hot bowl of instant soup or chicken broth makes the lunch better when the days are real cold.
