I bought an inexpensive sleeping bag from Walmart, probably about $25. Took it to a local seamstress and had it cut down so that it will reach almost to my waist and had an elastic cord installed. I think I spent $20 on the seamstress.
I store the bag in a compression sack.
Once in my stand, I slip my feet into the bag and snug the cord around my thighs. If it is really cold, I toss a chemical handwarmer in the bag.
I've also got boot blankets but find the above to be less bulky.
Don't normally need any of the above in Alabama but I used to live and still hunt in Virginia. Lots colder up there than down here!
