Default Treestand keeping warm??

Hi, For the bow hunter out there. I'm just wondering how can you guys keep warm on the stand when -20c out there? When the whitetail in full rut the weather usually get pretty cold. What's the tips for that? I usually put on HH under wear which is good for -30c and a lots of clothing on top of that but still get cold in a few hours. if u have any good trick please help me out. Thanks for the help!!

Good boots , fur hat , and a positive attitude , just knowing that a booner could come to the rattling antlers keeps me warm enough.

Default Staying warm

I like those hot volcano thingies but the problem is they only stay warm for about 20-30 minutes. I do like to put the disposable hand warmers in all the strategic spots but if they don't get enough oxygen then they won't work either. Does anyone remember the hand warmers that used to have the plastic pod in the, and you broke it and they got nice and hot, they didn't last too long but they were small and put out great heat.

I have stayed out all day many times with the hot volcano at -27 and I stayed warm. I get cold easy and these things save the day. Best product out there I find and not expensive. A one pound propane bottle will last up to 11 hrs of burning. They are also silent.

Bought an IWOM in the off season. If it lives up to the reviews I should be toasty this season.
