This reminds me of a year ago... I got in the stand (-5 degrees), put on my HBS, and reached for my bow rope...... I couldn't reach it :oops:
The time before in that stand, I had (in the dark getting down) broke the bow rope. It was getting old and weak. So I climbed back up and re-tied it to the tree. Only I tied it to the wrong tree, the stand was on one trunk, I tied it to another one right next to it. Too far to reach from the stand wearing a HBS.
So off it came, I climbed down, got my bow, climbed back up and put the HBS back on. I was angry that morning. And sweaty!
After all of that, I was nice and warm in the HBS. If you get cold in one, something went wrong.
