How does everyone stay warm when the temps drop.  I have found this new product on line.  Does anyone have one and do they work?

cause no way would that 190 inch deer ever see or hear  you taking that thing off. 

I use a sportcat heater works great.

I wear polypropelen long johns, wool pants, and wool bibs when its FREEZIN cold.  I've heard of those body heaters an heard they work great but its a lot of movement when a deer is walkin up on ya.  I think if its colder than I can handle with my normal gear, I don't want to keep hunting anyway cause if I get one, I still have  to field dress it and thats gonna be nearly bare handed (rubber gloves.)
If ya don't know where ya are, go back to da beginnin.

I use a buddy heater to take the chill off. I hate wearing thich heavy coats, I usually only wear a hoodie and a light jacket.

As long as my feet, head and hands are warm, i'm usually ok. Good boots, gloves and a cover are very important.

Do you hunt out of portables or perminant stands?  I use a climber and don't know were I would put a little heater.  I like to hunt from sunrise to sunset and try not to leave my stand.

Sure looks like it would keep you warm. It would also allow you to wear less clothing to the tree. I'm not sure about all the extra movement to get it off. I get busted by deer sometimes trying to do the "super slow mo" reach for my bow. I like the idea though. I hate when I get cold on stand.
