In a blind I'd use a hand muff with a couple activated hand warmers. Sit back, relax, keep the hands toasty until it's go time.

 

Absolutely nothing has ever worked for me except a muff and hot hands.
The Sitka muff is exceptional. Extremely warm and wind proof

 

Agree. I do this and I just take them off when it's go time.

 

I hate bulky gloves. So I wear a real light weight glove. Most of the time I can put them in pockets and be ok. However when it gets really cold I use a couple hand warners.
My jacket for cold weather is the Sitka fanatic. It has a kangaroo pocket so it’s like having a built in muff for your hands.

 

Hot hands are a game changer!

 

Sitka Incinerator Muff, unless I'm wearing the Fanatic jacket. Then I use the built in one.

 

Like all things Sitka, they are exceedingly proud of their gear. I am going to need to think about this some more and evaluate whether I want to spend 4x as much on Sitka vs something from Fleet Farm. I'm not 100% opposed to it, it has been mentioned multiple times in this thread already, but I'm going to need to give it some thought.

 

Stop wasting money on chemical hand warmers and buy a good rechargeable hand warmer. Works better!

 

Got any specific models you'd recommend vs the one that was linked to on Amazon elsewhere in this thread?

 

Hand muff

 

Keep your hands in your pockets or a hand muff with chemical heat packets. But most of all, stay off your cell phone.

 

Game charger for us is the Rechargable Hand-Warmers, below is an example, will keep your hands toasty on low in a hand-muff all day long.
put one in breast pocket and you will stay warm lot longer then normal
we use ours when walking, going to grandkids winter sports stuff, football games, fishing etc....

below is an example, Sam's had the Muddy version 2 for a real good price

I somehow made it this far in life without knowing that these were a thing - thank you! I am not a fan of the chemical packs since they seem to take too long to get warm once I feel like I need them.

 

FL handmuffb20% off for another few hours with a handwarmwe or two.

 

Hand muff but like other said it needs to be windproof. Throw in some heat packs and you are golden

 

Another muff user with chemical hand warmers when in a ground blind or in a tree stand when the temps get frigid. May have to try the rechargeable warmers though.

 

Hot shot textpack muff. Think $itka with a $100 discount.

 

My googling has me torn between the Hot Shot textpack that you have mentioned and the Arctic Shield. Both $35 on Amazon.

 

Pee on them. That’ll keep them warm for sure.

 

Order both and keep the one you like best. Can't lose.

 

I just tuck them into my pockets 🤷

 

Or armpits

 

I guess I'm lucky, my hands are usually ok with just a thin glove, but when they do get too cold I will use pockets or a muff. I quit using hot hands in the muff because when I pulled my hands out to grab my bow they freeze like instantly. I have found that keeping my core temp up with a vest helps keep my hands and feet warmer.

 

Another vote for the Sitka Incinerator muff with hand warmers.

 

I rarely bow hunt with gloves on. I just don’t like shooting with gloves on. If it’s cold, I’ll put some warmers in my pockets and keep my hands in there unless I am using them for something else (grabbing bow, looking through binoculars, etc). I also have one of the Hot Hands hand warmer that goes around your waist.

 

hot hands super warmers in jacket pockets

or hot hands super warmers in insulated tube (muff)

the super warmers are much better than the regular hand warmers for this, which are smaller and made to be able to go in gloves...the super warmers last longer and are warmers

the trick is the warmers need to get air....so if you are gripping one tight and it starts to go cold then take it out of your pocket and shake it around for a bit and then don't hold it as tight

once on stand, i don't have gloves or mittens on either hand

wrap your bow grip with something, like tennis wrap, so that you don't freeze when you see a deer and grab your bow

 

I use a muff like the others have said. Used to put the hot hands in there, but bought a USB powered heating pad and plug it in to a battery pack. Stuff that into the muff and adjust heat as necessary. I still use the hot hands in pockets or boot blankets.

 

Chemical handwarmers are cheap and very effective. In late season when it is very cold, I put a clean wool hunting sock in my cargo pocket with the top folded over and put a hand warmer inside that for extra insulation.

 

2 man stand! :-/

I should also mention that I'm using a ground blind this year because my young son wants to go out with me every time I go. That way he can use a big blanket, a camp chair, and all sorts of stuff to stay warm while waiting. Otherwise, I've got a climber.

 

Don't overlook keeping your head and core warm. YOU don't keep your head warm, you are going to have cold hands and feet faster because your body will rob your feet and hands of warmth to keep your core and head warm.

HOT hands are great too. Hand muff. I put hot hands in my shoes at my toes, 1 regular OR a magnum sized for super cold days. I keep extra hot hands in my core area too to keep my entire body warm. That was a big game changer in recent years, those hot hands in core pockets really helped to keep me much warmer.

 

Hand muff and electric hand warmers off amazon. They are like $40 and double as a battery bank for your phone.

My wife got them for me for xmas and it was one of those gifts I thought would go in the junk pile. Well I use them mostly for my son who is 5 and I take him hunting a lot but I must say....they are darn nice and I started carrying them for myself lol. Get super hot!

 

Which brand?
