Dressing for Subzero Weather

I am often asked, “How do you set up in a ground blind in subzero weather?” Since my family owns the land where I hunt, I've got two permanent ground blinds built. Those blinds are set up, so that one is in a deep ravine, and the other one is set up on a well-known deer travel area. I also use pop-up blinds, depending on where crops are planted.
