Superduty, inform this dummy just what TIN CLOTH is, please. Daniel

Tin cloth is "spendy" good stuff.

A shot of vodka goes a long way. Russian secret for long waits at the bus stops lol

Hudbone, You are a lot of help. LOL Daniel

So a shot of any liquor is the key, got that. Guess I'll keep copious amounts of Wild Turkey in every blind. LOL

Alcohol helps you feel warm because it thins your blood and allows better circulation to fingers, toes, etc. sabotages what your body is trying to do- keep your core warm so you can survive extreme cold.

Alcohol just speeds up hypothermia

I have an electric heater with a thermostat.

This year in about 7 degrees ambient temp, with a pretty good breeze and snow probably pushing the wind chill to near zero, I did ok with just my Walmart real tree hoodie over a t shirt with a hot hands adhesive body warmer stuck on it, with my rain resistant carhart on top of that. Two pairs of sweat pants, a pair of good insulated gloves/mittens with hand warmer pockets, and most importantly I had on good wool socks with a hand warmer in the toes of my boots.

The hoodie has a face cover in it, I wear my lucky beanie from my 2nd deployment on top of all that. This beanie is awesome.

I was not comfy but I could hang for a day in the tree stand.

In this outfit I can work in a -40 degree windchill literally all day and have done it. Sitting perfectly still in a blind or tree stand is different though, you don’t generate the body heat and it really sucks. Not comfortable but it will prevent hypothermia and frostbite.
