Top 7 Tips on How to Stay Warm While Hunting | SITKA

Late season cold got you shivering? Get 7 tips from seasoned archery sheep hunter Adam Foss on how to stay warm hunting. Adam Foss grew up backpack sheep hunting late season in the Canadian Rockies. In this video he shares 7 tips to stay warmer on cold weather mountain hunts—short of just staying home. Tip 1 – Fuel in the Tank: Cold eats calories and stove fuel. Pack ~2x canisters for a 10-day/2-person late season hunt; keep canisters warm in big stash pockets (Kelvin Hyper Down), set on a sit pad (not snow), and use your tent bag to haul dry Rockies snow. Melt/boil constantly; water freezes fast. Eat 30-50% more calories—load fats, pepperoni, cheese, leftover pizza, and chocolate bars. Tip 2 – Be Bold, Start Cold: Hike in a light synthetic + light wind layer (Mountain Evo). Wear warm gloves/hat you can stash fast so you don’t sweat out. Tip 3 – Stay Dry or Die: Wet skin can dump heat ~25x faster. Guard creek crossings and snow-loaded branches; dry boot liners, gloves, hats, base layers overnight in your sleeping bag. Tip 4 – Treat Your Feet: Synthetic mountaineering boots with removable liners rule; or dry boots in the bag. Down booties w/ gaiters, liner + wool socks, and standing on extra pads all buy warmth. Tip 5 – Insulation Station: You can’t have enough down. SITKA Kelvin Hyper Down jacket + pants ride on top of your pack, zip over layers/boots, fit over your bino harness, no back-of-head toggle, zipper baffle; under ~19 oz each; sleep in them. Tip 6 – Play the Wind: Use lee slopes, rocks, your pack. A wind-stopping layer (Mountain Evo, Jetstream) can replace rain gear in very cold, dry snow. Tip 7 – Commit to the Cold: You will be cold—and you will warm. Late season = less pressure, more movement, track in snow, last-day rams. Good partners matter (shout-out Cam).
