My old ripped up flannel,with one pocket missing .
Still dirty from shift work is not gonna cut the mustard. :chuckle: :chuckle:
The pocket missing means I needed to poop. :chuckle:

Puffy jackets were a game changer for me. I keep one with me on every hunt I go on from September-November. I added puffy pants too. It’s all very lightweight and packable. Worth every penny!

The Black Ovis anchorpoint jacket and pants have been on camofire for cheaper than you can buy a single puffy from the big brand names. Would recommend.

worst thing you can do is get sweaty and then sit down and glass if its cold and theres almost nothing that you can do to prevent being cold at that point. I will change out my base layer to something dry if I know I am going to sit awhile. un lace your boots so they are loose it will help keep your feet stay warmer. I also put my rain gear on over my layers to trap heat and block wind. I bought KUIU super down mittens last year and those are warm!

Its always good to have a couple hand warmers going. I keep them in my front pants pockets until I need them some where else. I will slide them into my gloves if my hands get cold.

Everybody has a different body and everybody is going to have different solutions.  I found that I don't really mind my legs being cold but I don't like my core to be cold.  If I sit down to glass after a hike, I usually allow myself to cool off from the hike before doing anything.  After that I'll pop on a puffy, some gloves and a hat.   I actually just wear a baseball hat unless it's raining or reeeeally cold.  The beanies tend to overcook my head unless its winter conditions.

I suspect as I get older, I'll be more interested in puffy pants.  I'm just not there yet.

Layering system
Puffy Jacket
Rain gear

I always pack a lightweight 8x10 tarp in the event that it rains or snows all day. Staying dry helps keep the cold away. I'm also not scared to start a fire if doing some long range glassing.
