How to Stay Warm Deer Hunting | Cold Gear Review 

Yep. I’ve worn the MT50 cabelas set up in Saskatchewan for 8 hours in dec in sub and near zero temps and it does work.

I built a shooting shack and put a personal heater in it.....i can truly say i NEVER get cold lol

That pattern is the awesome too!! He's right, keep your eyes open for sales after Christmas. I got the complete set for $150. And a body warmer on top of you head under the hat.

I used to have sentlok bibs and I hated them. Too bulky and awkward, and I always got cold. I now use Firstlite, and they are the best warm weather hunting clothing I've ever had! Good video! I didn't think about feet and hands getting cold as a result of core temp. dropping. No sweating is the key!

I left the stand today because I was so frozen I wasn’t sure if I could climb back down let alone make a shot. I definitely need to rethink my cold weather gear, mind you it was minus 10 windchill. Thanks for the video I didn’t realize your hands and feet feel cold because of your core retaining heat.

Hi...I'm just skimming through media to see what's working for other guys. Ironically, your approach to warmth is almost identical to mine. I found the MT50 a bit too noisy and bulky, and instead utilize Cabelas Stand Hunter Coverall...in my view my best hunt clothing purchase I've ever made. In 30 degree high 20 degree low I wear a moisture wicking underlayer and the Cabelas Stand Hunter Coverall. Period. And Cabelas Fleece Balaclava for head...that's it. If colder, I throw on one more very light layer of fleece. The challenge with this system is not getting sweated up for longer walks (1/2 mile or greater). Then I usually pack the coverall. Sadly, with the Bass Pro shop merger, Cabelas discontinued the Stand Hunter Coverall and lots of other really good products. And btw, feet and hands getting cold is NOT necessarily indicative of poor core temperature maintenance. There are many physiological conditions that cause blood vessels to constrict in cold temperatures. Overall a nice job. Thanks for sharing.

Hunting in kerville Texas, the lowest I’ve hunted in was 20 degrees with the wind blowing. I was good with thermals blue jeans, thick socks, carharrt jacket and a full beanie. Stay warm fellas always stay prepared

I couldn’t agree more about the MT50 whitetail extreme line. I have worn this stuff in 0 degree weather the last 2 weeks coyote hunting, with nothing but a medium weight set of Minus 33 Merino wool thermals. You don’t want to walk to your stand wearing this stuff though, It will sweat you quickly!

I drive a rusty pickup. I wear sitka. Never been warmer. Or poorer.

Good honest detailed review. Much appreciated.

Ha ha this is the video you made us all wait a year before releasing. Gear looks great and really good quality. The boots look awesome too, I'd like to see some close up shots of how the bibs fasten around the boots at the bottom cuffs but I guess we'll see that in future videos when you take some more close up shots of you lying in wait in the woods (I love those sequences in your videos). Some more detailed shots of the boots would be cool too. Stay warm!

You need to do a Wisconsin version of this video, its 6 degrees right now.

-30 below a few years ago and I was the last one out of the stand. 4hrs. I bought a military sleeping bag and gortex shell. I get into that bag in my stand. I was warm. Try a military surplus store. I don't consider it Cold until it's below zero.

Great information! Thanks for sharing.

1 piece coveralls were the warmest. They don't make a good pair anymore because they want you to buy a 2 piece suite. Get to charge you twice .

Light goose down jacket with a medium weight camo jacket over that. Goose down long underwear with camo pants over. Toe warmers in my boots and hand warmers in my pockets. Been in 10 below weather for hours and never get cold. Keeping your legs and arms warm will keep your hands and feet warm. Thinsulate is worthless in below freezing temps,, no matter how many layers you stack.

cold weather is below zero and no GREEN grass

25 degrees Fahrenheit is the bottom line for bow hunting. Top sweatshirt + light windbreaker, maybe a thermal long sleeve. It’s just not possible to shoot with loose clothing.

I believe the newer MTO50 does have the safety harness zipper in the back

First off when your feet get cold,you can have 50 layers of theramls on your core and it doesn't matter.

Just a tad bit late........ But, got a sewing machine? Local taylor? Add your own slit for harness passthru!!

You never get cold. You never hunted in Canada then.

Cold is why I moved to Arkansas...Plus I get to shoot 6 deer!

If you think $350 is alot try buying equivalent of that from sitka, it'll set you back $1100.

Nice video but I'm getting heated pants and a heated vest and besides that I'm getting heated insoles too 👍

Haven’t watch this vid yet but I will tell u one thing that will keep u warm Wool

SPEAR gear is good for layering. Levels 1-6. Highly recommend. It’s pricey but worth it. Or, you can join the military(USSOCOM) and they will issue it to ya for free.

Would else has climbed in their stand with a hand warmer that didn't work...break package and warm heat u got me once hand warmer....not twice I went and bought a zippo hand warmer ...put the lighter fluid light place back in bag whalla warm hands

I have bibs and use silent predator wool that wind block built in. Try alpaca socks makes wool antique! Thx for video.

You should look into a heater body suit. At today at -1 degrees never got cold. Best thing I ever bought. Stayed nice and warm didn’t even wear gloves. I swear by them. Bout 350$

Its funny that you say people are surprised you spent so much on your jacket and pants. You need good clothes to stay warm especially when you are just sitting in a stand and not generating any heat. I have more than $300 in snowboarding clothes and I can be outside on the coldest days for the whole day because I dress right.

Cold weather is up in iowa were its a snow storm and below negative 10

I got a huge rip in mine on the knee area of bibs and now they get wet easy

$350 may be expensive for your warm weather hunting. I do not consider 20 to be cold. I'm an ole geezer. I'll say I am closer to 70 than 60. I get to my stand 1 hour before legal hunting time and stay till legal quitting time. That means I am in my stand from 6am till 5:25pm, only getting out if mother nature says it time for #2. That's 11 1/2 hours in my stand not 3 to 4 hours. You want to stay warm in just about any weather? How about 42 below and 35 MPH winds like I did last year in South Dakota. I was in a ground (made from hay bales) blind for 11 hours. I bought my bibs and coat 20 years ago, custom made to fit me. I am rather tall at 6' 6", try to find a 42" inseam. I wear a 36" inseam but my bibs are 42" so when I sit they are still over most of my boots. Contact King of the Mountain and ask about their Standmaster outfit in Blowdown pattern. Twenty years ago mine was, you sitting down, lol, $1200.00 . Wind or rain will NOT go through it. It's 100% wool and no it does not itch. There is a rubber lining in the bibs. As you know (or should know) wool still keeps you warm even if it gets wet. It just gets heavier. If you layer underneath like they tell you, you won't freeze. Now, this outfit is NOT made for a lot of walking. If you want to stay in a stand ALL DAY, the Standmaster is THE outfit to buy.

Your tolerance for cold depends a lot on where you live. If you don’t experience below zero temps then 20 is pretty cold. I can’t take the cold so I got into archery. By the time it’s 40 in PA I’m tagged out. I don’t know how you guys sit in subzero temps.

great gear, but Sitka gear is on another level, just crazy expensive.

What’s your definition of cold? I hunted this last week in MN. Morning was 7deg and windy. So Neg w wind chill.

I ground hunt so good there sounds like a good set up

I have watched this video a few times now. What is your height and weight in this video and also the sizing you had on in both bibs and parka?

🙏

FYI: The United States government has spent millions in research for this exact scenario, The E.W.A.C.S. system Silkys,Waffles,ocp, Fleece,Gortex. 🇺🇸🇺🇸😎😎

20 degrees? That's not cold lol I'm in northern ny and it gets down to -30 to -40 on a reg in winter.

Great video

That’s because you likely live on the states!!!! Come to Saskatchewan Canada! You’ll freeze your ass off!

Your feet/metabolism becomes acclimated to cold after a few hours and stop sweating. THATS when to put on dry socks.

2 aspirin before you leave the truck you will not be cold 8 hr

An add on from the past........If your hands and feet are cold, put a hat on.. The body will protect the brain by taking heat from the body to protect the brain.

20 degrees is cold, lol oh man that's funny, I shot a deer when it was -30 with wind chill in northern Minnesota, now that's cold

Thanks.

Are you down in florida ???

What’s works even better is to actual hunting how our ancestors did. Hint, hint....they weren’t in a tree stand.

20 degree weather is cold? We normally sit around -5 or -10 F and I am always cold! Do you think these items would still be warm enough?

People differ in how easily their body gets cold. Your Cabelas outerwear is nice, but not magic. If you can wear it and only 1 or 2 layers under it in 20 F weather and sit still on stand for hours and not get cold, then you are one of the lucky people that does not get cold easily. Therefore, your advice would not apply to me or others like me. I think it is important to realize that for others because they will do what you do and get bad results. I have gear just as nice as Cabelas. Yesterday, it was 20 F and windy. To stay on stand, I probably had $1,000 worth of clothes on (if I bought full price, which I don't). This included windstopper layers, high loft goose down, boot blankets, chemical warmers, expensive base layers, etc. I had 5 layers top and 4 bottom. I was relatively warm and was able to sit still in a treestand for the full day without moving, but I looked like the Michelin man, had to wear an arm guard to shoot my bow with all that, and had to pack half of that junk in in a huge dry bag fastened to my tree stand.

Come to Alberta. I’ll get you cold.

You wear more then i do at 20 degrees then i do at -20

Yea this is good info but when you have poor circulation and your 60 years old and on high blood pressure meds that thin your blood. Nothing works. Very good.

I wear this heavy suit "I stay warm". I wear 3 sweatshirts in 0 degree weather, now I could teach you something.

Nice 👍

You don't need camo to kill deer especially in a stand. Just buy some earth color cold weather gear that's cheaper then camo.

Iwom suit lol

Only $350. God damn!!!

I hunt the U.P. of michigan.....most hunt in heated blinds!

Heater body suit. Com

What if a guy can’t even afford 300$

Nice commercial bro!

You lost me at “I never get cold” such BS!

It's MT 050 dork. Not MT50. Good grief

lies and propaganda
