[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2312078, member: 3230"] If the "sits" in your post means you are sitting on a stand, here is what works for me. I wear any kind of heavy hydrophobic long underwear under my pants. My top is a lightweight version of same. In on old-style external frame backpack I put in a -30 below bag (one that has been retired from backpacking), a large trash bag, my parka, and then a heavy fleece and heavy first layer. When I get to my stand (which might be bungee corded to the same backpack), I take off my base layer if I have perspired any and put on a dry one, then all the other layers except my parka. I climb my stand, then pull up the backpack (rifle is typically slung over my head and unloaded). I then put on my parka, pull the trash bag over my boots, and then pull the sleeping bag up to my chin. I hunt right on the Canadian border, and I can tell you there is no substitute for this method - I can stay out all day in sub-zero temps, although it has been a long time since it was below zero all day.
