Working as a carpenter for 55 years I learned a trick t keep your feet warmer in the cold weather. One day I had on a lot of cold weather gear kept warm and the next day I forgot to dress up with the same cloth's as I was in a rush to get out of the house and not be late for work. The weather was rough and I was shaking from being dress lighter not enough cloth's on and no more in my truck. Boss said i want you to lay out those wall lines on the concrete so I put my knee pads on to protect my knee's. After a while I noticed I wasn't s cold I thought how can it be I'm not shivering like earlier? Then I learned a less0n. The knee pads kept my knees warmer with the blood flowing over all that bony knee so when it got to my feet it kept my feet warmer. Bingo it works. So now if I know I'm going to be standing and watching for a long time in the cold I get a thrift store pair of knee pads or elbow pads the are not to tight and slip those on over the knee area and it knee's my feet warmer and if I have to bend over on the ground my pants don't get wet also. It warms for old men, wives and young kids to help keep warm feet when hunting and not moving say if a tree stand or a ground blind. Cheap but warm knee's and feet.
