Stop Freezing in the Stand: Joe Miles Breaks Down Cold Weather Mistakes | CG #321

About this episode

Joe Miles discusses common cold weather mistakes hunters make and how to avoid them while also addressing deeper themes of faith and family.

Most hunters think cold weather gear is the problem… It’s not. In this episode, Joe Miles breaks down the biggest mistakes that cause hunters to get cold—and how to fix them. From layering incorrectly to sweating on the walk in, these are the details that separate guys who stay all day from those who climb down early. But this episode also carries a heavier message. With Don stepping away to focus on his family during a serious health situation, Joe joins Terry for a real conversation about faith, perspective, and what actually matters. We ask that you keep Don, Robin, and their family in your prayers. In this episode: - The #1 mistake that causes hunters to get cold - How to properly layer for all-day sits - The right way to keep your feet warm - Why sweating ruins your hunt - Joe Miles’ upcoming Africa hunt - Listener Q&A on minerals, sheds, and gear - Real talk about faith, family, and community If you’ve ever cut a hunt short because of the cold—this episode will change how you prepare.
