I have finally found my solution to keep my hands warm in the layout blind since I don't wear gloves since they are a pain putting them on and off while using the goose call. This thing is very nice and keeps your hands plenty warm. http://coreheat.net/Products/Heated%20Handwarmer.html

I am sold on this vest. Been using it the last month duck and goose hunting along with bow hunting. It has been keeping me super warm. If you are out in the cold I would highly recommend it!! http://www.gerbing.com/coreheat.net/Products/Heated%20Softshell%20Vest.html

So, it pains me to see it, but my dad is getting a little older. He is still probably the toughest waterfowler I've ever met, but in the last couple of years his circulation is not what it used to be. the other night, he commented to mom about the gerbing heated blind seats he saw advertised...
