Tricks to staying warm.
Uploaded on August 20, 2009One said in another post to use socks as wrist bands to stay warm. Take a nice pair of long wool socks and cut out finger holes. use the socks like fingerless gloves and pull the sock up your arm under your jacket and then put your gloves on. This will keep your wrist, palms, and part of your arm from getting cold. (If you are bow hunting this is also extra protection from the string). If you have thermals and that is not keeping your arm, find polypropylene underwear, (light, medium or heavy depending on how cold your area is.)

It doesnt ever get really cold here in florida but it does get a bit chilly on some december and january mornings. i found that a heavy wool or mexican blanket draped over my sholders really helps when im in the woods. since the key to staying warm is keeping your core temprature up its good to keep the blanket on the upper part of your body where your vital organs are. it seems simple but it works pretty well and once it gets hot you can just roll it up and stick it in your pack. i think this only would work in moderatly cold tempratures cause i havent really had any experience in super cold weather. if anyone bothers to test this i would enjoy seeing how well it works in really cold weather. A fire also helps pretty well too... :)

I think that your idea sounds great and im going to try it when I go hunting in the winter.
I hunt in colorado late season and have used a wool parka on some hunts,it sheds snowfall breaks wind and acts as a mini shelter if you are sitting on a lookout,I carry my peak 1 stove with me and make coffee sometimes,If i do this under my poncho while sitting down talk about toasty!! Just dont catch yerself afire or steam soak your blanket in the process!!
And my wife wonders why I save things like old underwear and socks. Using underwear for fire kindling and old sock as arm warmers. This is the kind of stuff we need to pass on to the younger generation. Too much "corporate knowledge" is being lost. Thank goodness we have a place like Field And Stream to keep all of this knowledge alive. Now if we could find a better way to organize it!
