Since the saddle set up is obviously different then traditional treestand set ups. What are you guys doing to stay warm in the tree?

Ok, going to trust someone named "Ontariofarmer" as a good source for knowing how to stay warm!Do not sweat going in. Chemical hand and toe warmers. Battery hoodie. Wool under layers. Insulated bib and a jacket. Two pairs of gloves and a pair of mitts. Alpaca socks. I have not been frozen to the tree this year. I had cold hands once. They got wet and I had one pair of gloves. The battery coat helps at the end of the day as the sun goes down and it gets colder. Scent lok over my wool under layers.
Ask Ernie, Wisconsin and Minnesota are actually colder. In Southern Ontario we have a humid cold - out west it is colder but less humid. That can make a difference in how things feel too.Ok, going to trust someone named "Ontariofarmer" as a good source for knowing how to stay warm!
Listen to him. That is a cold place. It is further north than my locationBesides layering with good stuff, I have started using First Lite clothing this year and I am super impressed. For me feet I layer thin merino socks, thicker merino socks stick a toe warmer on the top of my toes, then 600 gram boots and I usually put thick wool socks over the toe of my boots once I out to my spot (makes for quieter movement in the tree as well). I will also take the larger stick on pads and put one on base layer over my low pack or kidneys. I also keep a hand warmer in my hand muff. I am hunting in Northeastern Minnesota.
