How to Stay Warm Going to Your Deer Stand & Staying There

1). Dress in three layers so that you can remove layers as necessary. Depending on the weather in your area, it's also important to wear gloves, a hat and two pairs of socks. Bring a backpack to store any extra clothing you have removed.
2). Keep your blood flowing to decrease heat loss. Wear loose clothing so that your blood can circulate. Move your body by standing, bending or flexing your joints.
3). Eat and drink to keep warm. Carry snacks with complex carbohydrates like trail mix to give you energy. Take a thermos of hot soup or hot chocolate to warm up the inside of your body.
4). Keep yourself dry. Hypothermia can occur when you are cold and wet. Don't wear a heavy jacket if you get hot walking to your stand. If you begin to sweat, remove some layers of clothing and store in your backpack so you will remain dry.
