Merino wool base layer, something like Cabela's Woolmate outer with wind shear. What you put between them really doesn't matter that much. I use a fleece pullover , heavy sweat pants and a light wool vest.

Pack boots like folks waaaaay up north wear with thin poly-pro liner socks and medium - heavy wool socks.

Light wool gloves and a muff with hot hands is the way to go for hands. Ya gotta cut the trigger finger off yer glove.

I use a Carhartt 2in1 head fleece on my noggin' .

The above is for outdoor use and NOT in a plush, climate controlled shooting condo.

Weve had deer walk right under our shooting house while we were heating up vienna sausages and drinking hot chocolate. If you have good windows and seal the cracks, they wont smell you. Gotta have a heater in a shooting house. Especially if you got kids with you.

You can go to belks or kohls and get clearance cheap polyester dress socks they are the same thing I got a few I use and there is zero difference between them and the military surplus liners except one is 10-15 a pair and the dress socks are cheap as dirt

I usually don’t have a problem staying warm and just wear an Under Armour base layer and a hoodie but damn near froze today down in a swamp and I stayed dry.

Mr. Buddy in a shooting house? No way!!! I would get naked in about 5 minutes just to survive. My coldest hunt was -5 in OK with wind chill -25. Now That was cold!!!

Thermal underwear , under armour base layer ....wind proof outer layer, and no more than 400gram on the boots. I had got into the rubber boot faze and finally figured out that your feet sweat in them and get cold quick.....Irish setter vaportreck are my go to boots


Let them walk ...and grow them big

Yes, please do tell......

For one it is different with everyone, skinny people, fat people, very fat people, metabolism, temperature preference, so there really is no one cure all solution or must have brand name clothes. (Except for Artic Shield boot covers which I swear by!). LOL

As for myself, I dress in three or four thin removable layers that are thicker the further outward they are worn. I also will walk to the location wearing as little clothing as I can stand to avoid overheating and sweating. If I anticipate being really cold, I will put a 'full body hot-hands' in my LF breast pocket, to warm my heart. Then, I will use the normal size 'hot-hands' one in each lower front pants pocket, right next to the Femur Artery that feeds blood to your feet. Then, I will use two more 'hot-hands' for my gloves and I might even use one in my gator neck. That's what works for me.....


Don't go looking for TROUBLE, it'll find you soon enough!

There are old, wise men and then there are just old fools. The sooner you learn this, the wiser you will be.

Is that right? Maybe just get a pair of big girl panties and toughen up. I don’t get cold in AL very much. Once or none times a year mostly.

Buy the right clothes, and unless its single digits, you wont need a heater. I definitely would not use a gas heater in a blind or shooting house with all the windows closed. Damn people, have a little sense.

Those heaters are the bomb. I don’t use them all the time but they are great. I have a small piece of land where all I have set up to hunt out of is ground blinds. One day last season during January the high was only 38 and I sat in that ground blind from 6am-12noon all I had on was jeans, a black t shirt and a black hoodie. I bet the inside of the ground blind was 60 degrees because I had the Little Buddy heater roaring. I even had to change out the propane tank once that morning. I also brought a thermos of coffe that morning. And on top of all that I think I saw 10 deer including a young buck chasing does. I don’t know why people think hunting has to be a tough guy competition, I’d rather be comfortable and have fun.

We usually roll out of bed and into the cab of a heated Suzuki mini truck. We drive the little truck right up to our blind or shooting house….bury it in the bushes…. and then sit in the shooting house with a little buddy heater. It can get a little chilly sometimes going from the truck to the blind until you get the heater fired up …..but most of the time it’s bearable. grin

Call me and my 10 year old son a DA on the internet, or to my face, and expect a response.

My father, grandfather, brother and his son, hunting buddies, 98% of people I’ve ever hunted with, and the majority of aldeer. All DA’s I guess.
