I'm exactly the same way. It can be snowing and I'm breaking ice, setting decoys with no gloves, no problem! To Frank's point, even with dry boots and socks, my feet will get cold. Like JB said, it's bearable, but extremely annoying when it's 9AM and you still have 10 hours on stand to push through.
My one buddy bought a heater body suit and says it's the cat's ass. I just can't get passed the idea of being snuggled up and not being able to get out of it for a shot. I'd go back to being cold if that happened.
No, but I have one of these wool sweaters from Cabela's. It's an awesome base layer when it's really cold. 100% wool with a windproof liner. They are pricey but well worth the money in my opinion and they carry a lifetime guarantee. For anyone looking for a high quality mid-layer, I strongly recommend this sweater.

I'll second that sweater and actually, thanks to an asshole puppy, I'll be buying my second one this weekend. DO NOT where it while you are moving however!
My trolling has evolved. I have learned how to plant ideas in peoples minds.... LOL
Best way I have found to warm up in a tree is to do four sets or squats for 25 repetitions. I highly recommend holding on to your safety strap when doing this. You don't have to do deep squats and 3/4 will do just fine. Regardless if you work out or not your quads and hamstrings are some of the biggest muscles on your body. This always gets my blood pumping and warms me up quickly. It is also a good way to loosen up after hours of sitting in the cold. You'll look like a dork doing it, but it works great for me.
That's my go to along with a couple of isometric stretches. I actually climbed down on Tuesday to piss, do squats, stretch and climbed back up. It saved my day.

You fuckers are going to laugh but I don't give a shit and you're a moron if you don't try it. The best base layer that I have found for my lower half is women's fleece lined leggings. The ones without feet. They are made out of the same material as most base layers design for hunting but they have the added benefit of a thin layer of fleece on the inside. You can pick up a pair for 10 bucks at Walmart which is about 1/5th of the cost of a base later from any of these hunting stores.
Lmao. I always knew you were a cross dresser. [emoji23]. I'll stick to my merino wool.
Yea, and don't let your wife wash it and throw it in the dryer... Unless you want your kids to wear it. I'm on sweater #2 right now. Lol
That was Step 1 in the demise of mine!
Kinda why I wasn't too pissed Lulu tore it up!From all the posts ive read on here I think more than a couple of guys want to see some pictures.

Nothing more than a $100 dollar pair of leggings that say "mens" on the package and are camo.
Ever wonder how women can wear dresses and skirts with leggins in the dead of winter and not freeze their clam off. Fleece lined leggings. 10 bucks each at walmart.
Yea, yea, they're cheaper. But wool has better qualities than fleece. Naturally antimicrobial and moisture wicking. Plus warmth when wet. Women wearing leggings in winter are usually walking, either from one store to the next or walking to class... They ain't sitting in a treestand for 7 hours. I have tried as many forms of base layers as are available, including fleece. And none are as good as the wool.

I won't debate this with you, but I will say that your graphs came from some survivalist blogger's homemade experiment...Errrrmm

What about panty hose??? Years ago it was known that panty hose kept your ass warm...
Amazing how a scarf will keep the back of your neck warm and keeps the cold air out with the safety harness strap coming out the back of your neck i always had cold air creeping in on cold days like 5 degree days lol.
The scarf solved that problem.
