I have used one for a few years now to heat the man cave. DS, you have been over when I had it running! Your brain is frozen!

This link is one of the coolest forum threads ever. Leave it to a ice fisherman to bring out the finest in a small heater. Enjoy, and "your welcome". Note , must read til end. The ideas are too cool.

Just read all 17 pages. Your right. They have cooking on the buddy heaters down to an art.

Wool! thick, heavy, Merino, soft,--WARM--Wool.

Fixed it for you!!!

Merino wool is common in high-end, performance athletic wear. Typically meant for use in running, hiking, skiing, mountain climbing, cycling, and in other types of outdoor aerobic exercise, these clothes command a premium over synthetic fabrics.

Several properties contribute to merino's popularity for exercise clothing, compared to wool in general and to other types of fabric:

Merino is excellent at regulating body temperature, especially when worn against the skin. The wool provides some warmth, without overheating the wearer. It draws moisture (sweat) away from the skin, a phenomenon known as wicking. The fabric is slightly moisture repellent (keratin fibers are hydrophobic at one end and hydrophilic at the other), allowing the user to avoid the feeling of wetness.[9]
Like cotton, wool absorbs water (up to 1/3 its weight), but, unlike cotton, wool retains warmth when wet,[10] thus helping wearers avoid hypothermia after strenuous workouts (climbs) or weather events.[9]
Like most wools, merino contains lanolin, which has antibacterial properties.[11]
Merino is one of the softest types of wool available, due to finer fibers and smaller scales.[10]
Merino has an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio compared to other wools, in part because the smaller fibers have microscopic cortices of dead air, trapping body heat similar to the way a sleeping bag warms its occupant.[12]

I have had major issues with cold feet making me leave the stand early.

2 things solved this.
Merino wool socks, and buying boots while wearing the wool socks.
Previously I had worn cotton socks to buy the boots, so when stuffing heavy socks into them, there was no air space. Feet got cold.

Of course, sitting in the stand with the buddy heater, it's flip flops.

Flat bill hunting cap and a skateboard track to the blind works for me.
