Fingers are easy to keep warm in a hand warmer pouch thing with hot hands until the deer show up and it's time to get on the binos. Toes are a whole nother issue. Toasty toes work ok sometimes, not at all other times. What's y'all recipe for keeping them warm?

The mistake too many make is too many layers of socks. The feet then sweat and there is nothing to be done to keep toes warm if your feet sweat. Keep them dry, and modest hunting socks and boots will do fine in AL. DRY is the key word here! Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Put the blanket under and around your boots - I always believed the cold metal of the stand transferred into my boots coupled with the air on the soles. "The struggle you're in today, is developing the strength you need for tomorrow."

I've got a pair of Artic Shield boot blankets on the way. I'm usually good for a couple hours sitting then they get cold, once I'm up and moving again their fine. Hands are good as long as they are in the hand warmer. It's that last 30 minutes that I'm scanning with binos that they got cold. This evening was almost unbearable. I was rotating hands to the binos and back into the hand warmer with hot hands. In 30 years of hunting I've yet to find a pair of gloves that'll keep my hands warm.

That’s after trying 2 pair of thicker merino wool socks with no affects. Have worn them a few times hunting also and they help

Put in plastic zip lock bag. Tak out your toe warmers, and presuming you have a roomy boot like others have mentioned. Take a dry set of wool socks out to wear while hunting. I see several interesting replies about Artic Shield and antiperspirant. Those sound good too. A buddy I know talked about battery powered socks. They are supposed to be great. When paired with what is mentioned above, ought to be a good supplement

That along with the spray antiperspirant like jawbone said is the only way I can keep my feet comfortable. Also if my feet do start to get colder, I’ll slide my feet out the boots a little and my toes warm up instantly. Last edited by marshmud991; 01/17/24 04:42 AM.
