Worked for me last year but I am a sitter not a leaner.Do those work for you in a saddle? I destroyed the pair that I tried.

What are you standing on? I sit too but often on screw in steps. They just ripped the bottom apart.Worked for me last year but I am a sitter not a leaner.
The same set up you have....strap on steps but this year I've changed to stepp "MAKE ALIKES" found on sportsman's guide. Figure those will be easier on the A-shieldsWhat are you standing on? I sit too but often on screw in steps. They just ripped the bottom apart.
How do folks add layers once you're in the tree? I put my rch under my scent lok pants so I could pull them down and put on a pair of full zip fleece pants. The only other way I've been able to do it is full layer up on bottoms and go light on the top and add top layers as you cool down.
Also I have no idea what red and Ernie are talking about, lol!

X2.I put all my lower body layers on at the base of tree. Top layers are added in the tree like you said.
Artic Shield boot covers.
I will wear regular gym socks and 400 gram Irish sitters hunting boot (hiking type). ... . Can't think of the true name. .... . After getting settled in the stand, I will slip these boot covers on before cooling down. Love these things.
North Mississippi dropped to 16 degrees last year and I pulled an all dayer with no cold feet.
Copy, guess I need to get a bigger pack, lol!
I go back and forth with my pack size. I hate carrying it, but it's also necessary for me. I guess since I've converted to filming everything, there's no going back.
I just purchased a heated hoodie from Milwaukee, the power tool company. They offer a heated jacket and a hoodie. I chose the hoodie due to the quieter material. It uses their M12 lithium ion battery. I wore it out Sunday morning before church. Temps were in the mid to low 30's with sustained winds of around 15 mph. I put the hoodie on over my base layer and slipped a wool sweater with wind blocker on over the hoodie. I was in the tree about 2 hrs. before feeling the need to turn on the hoodie. Actually, I wasn't really cold I just wanted to see what the heating elements would do in a hunting situation.
The hoodie has three temperature settings, high, medium and low. I turned it on to the medium setting. It didn't take long to feel some heat across my back. I was hunting in a triple trunk tree and was leaning back against one of the trunks. The pressure pressed the heating elements pressed firmly against me and the heat was easily felt. The hoodie has elements across the shoulder area and across the chest area. At one point I turned it up to the high setting and the increase in heat was easily felt.
I wanted to try the heated hoodie to see if I could get away with fewer layers and bulk by using a heat generating layer of clothing. More time is needed to see if it is a good tool to use during cold weather.
I bought my dad the Milwaukee heated camo jacket for Christmas last year. He loves the thing,and uses it all the time gun hunting. I'll steal it eventually, so the "gift" was really just an investment in my future. Lol. I'm a bad person.

@redsquirrel I didn't have to do this this year for bow season. But in the past when I bulk up I use compression bandage wrap and wrap it around my outer layer. It works ok but can slip down. I never got around to it but I was going to buy a camo sleeveless compression shirt 2-3 sizes up to put on and see if it would hold my jacket in. Saddle hunting depleted the funds before I got around to it.
