[QUOTE="Swine, post: 3053881, member: 15717"] Like someone said before... Layers. NO COTTON clothing... only synthetics. Years of hiking and backpacking experience here. Good wicking spandex type base layer... Loose fitting synthetic next layer... followed by some synthetic fleece... followed by good insulated outer layer. Can tear out layers if things warm up. I've known people to even use battery operated warmth jackets to help in some extreme cases. Not hunting but its a thought Feet are the hardest.... good insulated rated boots with chemical heat pockets. Box blinding or any other type of stand that is enclosed and can block the wind will help a lot. Then maybe a Coleman propane fueled heater. I've got one old man on my lease running a 12volt travel heating blanket off a car battery... last about 4 hours and he recharges it during his lunch/nap break before going back out in the evening. Making it a good experience is key for keeping youth involved.... not sure why youth are so soft now a days. My dad loves to tell the story of my shaking the deer stand, not sure if its buck fever or me freezing my butt off. [/QUOTE]
