Heated vest is a game changer when it's in the teens and below.  ( below 40 for you south jersey thin skins)

ooo.. that reminds me.. I need to look into heated socks or soles this year, if anyone has recommendations on that.

Need to keep the piggy-toes toasty in the duck boat and deer stand you know... it gets cold down here!

#1 all-time gadget is free.  Dried milkweed pods and the wind.  Save those dry floaters in a dry baggie or pill container. They will show you things you just cannot imagine. It can reveal just how bad your setup is and show you how your scent flows 50 - 100 yards from the stand or blind as opposed to what you believe is happening.  I have seen them blow 40 yards downwind then bend around and do full 180 and pass behind me!  The terrain alters airflow same as boulders in a stream.

Milkweed is good as is feathers

I've used puffer bottles.

After all these years  I've found a cotton ball is easy to obtain and works great. Pull enough fuzz off as you want, fluff it up and watch it sail
