North are always raving about. But I’m gonna see it thru til dark and a morning hunt tomorrow before I head back for all the Christmas festivities.

I thought I would never spend money on the first lite stuff. It’s a game changer for me. I have merino wool, flannel line pants and a sweatshirt on in this blind. Probably going to turn the heater off, I don’t think I need it


Went to Iowa for the first gun season (Dec 3), so I invested in the Fanatic bibs. Sat from daylight til dark wearing only blue jeans and never got a chill. Low around 20 and high of 33 with light snow. I bought the Traverse hoodie as I thought I would get more use here and it was fine with a shirt and sweatshirt. Buddy has fanatic bibs and tops and handled -8 wind-chill and high of 12(I was in a shooting house that day). Worth every penny and Scheels has numerous sales throughout the year.
