Sanctuary is what I run. Was mid 20s with a wind chill at 8* this am. I'm in the UP hanging from my saddle. I have on a midweight merino base, a fleece top & bottom, abd a vest up top. I'm borderline too warm. The bibs have zippers all down the legs to vent. And they're not that heavy.

I was in the same boat as you. Cold feet no matter what. Tried 1600g lace up, ice king pac boots, heavy socks, liner and wool socks, wearing the liner in, changing socks at the base of the tree along with toe warmers.
My solution this year has been arctic shield boot covers. I hiked in...

This surprises me. I've hunted in - 25* wind chills in a tree stand for hours and stayed warm. I can't imagine being cold in my sanctuary set. I can't even wear it until low 30s or mid 20s arrive.

I started pressure canning a few years ago. It saves me lots of time trying to cut silver skin off. Just cube it and toss it in. No salt, water, etc just meat. Melts all that nasty stuff down and you end up with a hardened fat layer on top. Great for a quick meal, lasts virtually forever and...

I'd highly recommend stabilizer straps. They connect the top and bottom pieces together. Once set up, it really locks the stand in. Also keep the lower section from falling to the base of the tree and leaving you stranded with just the upper.

I've been out for 3 or 4 weeks other than buying CDEV in the low $.50s. Just transferred cash back in and bought more along with Spirit airlines again. Was holding off until prices dropped. Left plenty to close on another rental and can stay long if need be on these.

I have a pair of size large pants in cipher, just a little too big for me. Anyone have a pair of medium and want to trade? Not too picky on color.
