Looking for something for when I'm sat up a high Seat in - degree temps really ,some days it's just very uncomfortable and I was thinking of trying a sleeping bag round my bottom half has anyone tryed anything similar .before someone's says go for a proper stalk, it's for cull days when you have to stay in the seat for the duration .
ps not looking to spend 100 s of pounds either
cheers

If its just cold feet that's the biggest problem, get a pair of Sorel Glacier Boots, rated down to -40'c.
One of the best bits of kit I've ever brought as I spend hours up high seats through the night with a howling gale blowing and freezing my nuts off :fox:
 
hi feller i have got a few in loft! late 1970's type and dam warm. hmmm now how did they get there ;) , i dont know how much one would cost to post but that is all i would wish for one :tiphat: on the other side i got a set of the deer hunter rusky bib and that way you won't for get to not get out of the sleeping bag and slide down like a big green maggot :rofl:

Sleeping bag is a bit too restrictive mate. I've just got a pair of US Army Cammo extreme cold weather overalls which are 'toasty'! They come up on Ebay occasionally. Also have a look at 'Dew Liners' on there which we used to get issued in Norway. They are good down to about -40 ! They are black though but shouldn't matter too much up a seat.

I have a pair of mossy oak pattern thermal salopettes here if
any good to you .. too bloody warm for stalking but would
be just the ticket for the high seat..

If interested drop me a PM, never wear them so not wanting
much for them.

Was always toasty in that running with my rifle held over my head.

Worth a try, really warm and cheap..

yep, PAC boots such as sorel, lacrosse etc are great for high seat work.
 
Got an Austrian Army sniper bag. Does what it needs to do :)
Carry it into position in my sack and "dress" before climbing in. Bottom half opens to allow use of legs.
Keep it in the truck in case of unscheduled overnighters.
