In the 50's, 60's and 70' in water duck blinds, we used charcoal in a bucket.
Goose blinds and pits, no heat at all.

Just remember to put them in your boots when you get to the blind, not before you hike in. Also, take them out when you hike out. (I lost two toe nails)No need to be cold if you can help it. That's dumb.
Fabros, I wouldn't bother with those socks if i were you. I've never had much success with them. You're better off sticking with the mini handwarmers shoved in your boots IMO. I'm thinking of picking up some boot blankets to try next year, though.

I started putting a little heater in our "outhouse" at our hunting lease. First I got a hard time from the others about wanting to be warm when in there. I recently found out everyone is now using it!
Maybe I should put the extinguisher out there too. I don't want to be caught with my pants down haha
A lot of cyclists I know swear by the Hotronic foot warmers.

Let me know how those work out for ya. Thermacell has a similar foot warmer system that's gotten horrible reviews, but if cyclists are using these it may be worth a look. I will say that sitting stationary 20' up a tree is probably a little different than actively riding a bike, hiking, etc. It'd be nice if something like that worked for stand hunters.
BINGO!Heater are for women and kids. If somebody wants to bring one to the blind I say no and to "suck it up buttercup"

I went on a guided duck hunt once and the guide said that back in the day that's how they would keep the pit warm till the day one a box of shells fell into it. He said that he has never seen a blind clear out so fast but for one older guy who just reached in to the bucket and pulled out the box before anything could happen.In the 50's, 60's and 70' in water duck blinds, we used charcoal in a bucket.

Gotta love the older guys with experience!I went on a guided duck hunt once and the guide said that back in the day that's how they would keep the pit warm till the day one a box of shells fell into it.
