Blankets?

[ChuckNorris]

I often hunt sitting on the ground. Either up against a dead fall, tree stump, or in my gobble lounger mentioned on other threads in this forum. Forecast for opening morning looks pretty cold at this point. I was thinking of covering my legs and feet with a heavy blanket to allow me to stay warmer, and therefore sit/hunt longer. Has anybody done this? I am considering an old army blanket or something along those lines.

I carry a small dark green fleese throw blanket with me. It's light and rolls up really small. Can actually tuck it into my pants with it hanging like a turkey pad and sit on it if needed.

Hell, I'd go one step father than that. If you sit in one spot all day, then I'd get a sleeping bag and put my lower body in it. You'd also want to bring a pair of moccasins or something as you wouldn't want to wear your heavy boots in the bag.

I have thought about a sleeping bag, but I think because of the material most of them are made of that they would be a little noisy. I'm thinking of looking for a thick wool blanket or something similiar at the local army surplus.

I would think this would be a perfect situation for the Body Heater Suit or similar product.

I often use an army wool blanket, you can sit on it, cover yourself with it, use it as a blind, or wear it like a coat.
