Really love this topic, especially from a fellow Virginia resident. My feet are the first to get cold so I’m always tinkering with socks and boot size.
I like the authenticity. The masters of many crafts always end up to sticking to the basics and focus more on the craft itself rather than the tools. A good painter doesnt need the best and latest brush and paint to make a good painting.
Layering is good. Wool is Awesome. Cotton is not the big bad everyone makes it out to be. It work well in every layer. Most people don't use cotton correctly. Get any material wet with no way to dry it out and you'll have issues, Especially in winter.
Yep, great basic common sense techniques but unfortunately not followed much. It also blows me away how folks will put their heater on in the truck to be “cozy”making a long drive to their hunting spot. I don’t put on my boots, wear Crocs, keep the AC on wide open, getting adjusted to the cold and making sure I don’t sweat. I will sit at the stand for an hour or however long it takes to cool off without my jacket, balaclava, etc on and then start layering up heavy again once needed. Thanks for the great video about the principles of body heat/sweat regulation.
That’s a very good question that I didn’t address. I do have a basic insulated glove, but I only use them to keep my hands warm and protected. When I’m on stand I do not use gloves, (I do a lot of bow hunting) I do use the hot hands for in my pockets for that needed warmth.
For me it's my hands. Sometimes feet. I keep a soft lunchbox with extra gloves and socks with a rechargeable handwarmer in with them. Rotate when I get really uncomfortable
I like the owl sweater but the large wool over coat is WAY too heavy for the limited insulation ir provides. The lightest insulation is down (down treated wit a DWR for high water resistance), the next lightest for the warmth is quilted synthetic fibers like Climashield, after that the next best for the weight is pile or fleece. THEN a heavy wool layer, the least insulating. When I was a Nordic (Cross Country) Ski Patroller/EMT I taught US Army ROTC cadets (college students) a winter survival course, both in a classroom and on a winter overnight bivouac. Those are part of my credentials. I also was an alpine Ski Patroller.
Hello, thanks for the comment and I can appreciate your thinking. I should share with you this channel is focused on helping new hunters (both city and country folks) gain the knowledge needed to enjoy the great outdoors and change the direction of the declining number hunters we have been experiencing in the USA.

Wool really is the best especially alpaca.
Well done. A topic not talked about enough.

I have buddy heater and a wood stove to stay warm. We truckcamp but just built a tarp shelter. Get outdoors subbed😂😊

Lots of good stuff
Ebay is a great place for sweaters
Which wool jacket is that from Asbell Wool?
What size did you get?
Great info - what about your gloves - which ones do you use? And do you ever use the hot hands products? Thanks.

You gotta be sweating your ass off
If one does not already know how to stay warm one should not be out hunting...easy to tell a city slicker channel
