All day sit tomorrow, will provide an update tomorrow night on the socks. Hopefully not though, right? Tomorrow sounds like a cake walk compared to the last few days and next week. If he could do an all day sit Monday and have warm toes, I'd be impressed.

Yeah..... Aint that the truth. I give the kid credit. He has done an all day sit in the last several years straight. Last year was brutal and he did it. No back to truck warm ups or anything. He is a die hard on gun opener. Hasnt shot a deer since 2009. Bullwinkle or bust. Lolll

All day sit tomorrow, will provide an update tomorrow night on the socks. Good luck, it’s tough for me to do all day sits now at my age. I usually take a 2 hour break.

Tin roof and freezing rain makes a lot of noise. May not be to favorable to a deers ears in the area. Hope it goes to snow soon.

Heated sock update My son is in an open box stand on a hill top in the crp grass. He said the socks have been on low all day and he said they are great. Will report at day end. I may be getting a pair if this continues all day for him.

He had them on low all day and said they had great warmth all day. Zero issue with even cool feet. Impressive. Tomorrow will give a good test. We will be out for 5 hrs then take a break. I cant do an all day sit on day 2 or after... The rest of the season will be prime hours only.

After tomorrows expedition, I may be hitting the buy button on these socks. regarding enclosed blinds though.... After my first full day in one. Damn. I never took a single nap!!!!!! That has never happened. After thinking about it, the comfort of being inside I was able to focus on what I was there to do. Hunt. So many days in the open box stand when its challenging, I curled up in a ball as best I could in a corner and slept off the agony of the conditions I think. Today I sat there in comfort and enjoyed it more than I ever have. I shot nothing. I saw nothing I wanted to shoot. It was as good of a day as I have had in a stand for a full day. With that said,,,,, After opening day I do struggle to sit all day due to all the mayhem pushing deer and educating them. Plus a lot less deer in the woods. But having this will afford some much more appreciated hours on stand. PS - it did help that the gophers won and I was able to sit there with the game on my phone. 5 stars to enclosed blinds!!!!!!!!!!

Sitting in them all day or even a half day can be good about Wed or Thursday. Usually great days to hunt.

Those look interesting Kooch. How hard are they to put on in the stand? If I can keep my feet warm I'm good to go for a long sit in cold temps. My core body is usually fine, but when I lose my toes, down the ladder I goes. I don’t sit in trees anymore. Easy enough to put on in a ground blind or enclosed elevated box blind.
