This morning was the first time I was able to put my bibs to work. It was 35 degrees this morning.
I got in my tree about 6:50....waiting for shooting light at 7:40'ish.
For as much outdoor winter stuff as i do, I am a wuss with regards to cold.
Not this morning
I wore some light longjohns, thin wool socks, my Asbell bibs, a wool sweater, and an Asbell pullover. For boots I just wore my knee high rubber boots. Stormy Kromer on my head.
I headed out to my Back Breaker Stand...my favorite stand site during the rut, but I NEED to change the stand. Uncomfortable as heck.
I sat from 6:50 until about 11:00....absolutely warm. The Asbell bibs are light and roomy enough for hiking and climbing (the Back Breaker is not a simple tree to climb), but with enough substance to keep me warm as toast.
The pockets are perfect. I actually left my haversack behind, I was able to put the mornings possibles in my pockets with no problem.
Absolutely great work Teresa!
I passed on a small 6 and a doe...no blood on the bibs yet
