I was going through boxes upon boxes of old photographs the other day and I saw this really goofy photo of me and my old man hunting back in Minnesota. It was so funny. We had really silly outfits. Not because we wanted to look silly but just because we had to wear tons of layers of clothes just to keep warm. I remember I couldn’t even move. My old man and I were laughing so hard we almost fell down and couldn’t get up. Literally!

Thank God I discovered the glorious world of Heated Jackets! Yeah, I know it sounds redundant. Heated Jackets. I mean, what are jackets supposed to do but keep us heated, right? But seriously, these heated jackets are the best thing to happen to outdoorsmen like me.  Wish I learned about it earlier.  It would have saved ma tons of embarrassing moments and saved me from the discomfort of feeling trapped under layers and layers of clothing. 

These heated jackets, the ones from Ventureheat in particular, use some kind of advanced (and very thin, might I add) micro alloys to keep the jacket heated for long periods of time. And by long, I do mean very long. I wore my heated jacket out on camping trip one time. And from night till dawn till I woke up, the warmth was still there inside my sleek heated jacket.

But I think the best thing about my heated jacket is how really lightweight it is.Before, I used to wear tons and tons of layers and we all know how useful our arms get during hunting when you’re wearing six jackets, two sweaters, and something wooly and itchy just for laughs. Not so much when you were heated jackets though.  Basically, if you have a heated jacket, then you’re good to go.

I can’t wait to go camping, hunting, skiing, jogging, anything!

I just wish my old man was still here. I wonder how he’d like this heated jacket thing. He would probably love it as much as I do.  Actually, I think he’d love it even more. 

Last week, if some of you, readers, remember, I shot my first mighty buck. Yes, sir, my first wild buck. And if you also remember, I said that I had a secret weapon for catching that buck and that I would share my secret weapon for all you wilderness loving guys reading this blog right now.

See, my secret weapon is not a weapon per se. It is not a new type of gun or a hi-tech bullet which makes things easier for both expert and amateur hunters alike. No. For you see, the best weapon any expert outdoorsman can still wield is his body and his own skills. But, of course, sometimes we need a little help too. And that goes double during winter time when weather is extremely erratic and you won’t know how cold the night can get until it gets there.

And that is precisely the same reason why I bought for myself a heated vest. As a seasoned hunter, camper and, in general, a lover of all things outdoors, I know how tough it can get. The weather can be relentless for beginners who don’t know the secrets of layering clothes and keeping heated. But then again, layering can also hinder movement which could prevent you from making your first big catch.

With the heated vest, however, you can virtually forget about layering and go about your hunting expedition without much of a fuss regarding the dropping temperature surrounding you. The reason for this is because the heated vest both stores and provides you with soothing heat every time you may need it.

Like a typical vest, the heated vest can store residual body heat for long periods of time. But unlike the said traditional vest, the heated vest can also provide users with heat every time they turn the stealth heating devices, cleverly embedded inside the vest itself, on. Barely noticeable, if even noticeable at all, the heating elements inside the heated vest can take the place of most layers of clothes. So all you may need to do is put a couple of shirts on and then, put on your heated vest, then you’re good to do.

And the best part about heated vests is that they don’t have sleeves! Training marksmen like me no longer have to deal with missing a shot because a jacket’s bulky sleeves got in the way. With the heated vest, bagging your first trophy catch will be as easy as bang, bang, boom.

And they’re also quite durable. It started raining and the wind was really howling at some point during our trip, but my heated jacket was still ok. I still have a couple of tests in mind, but I guess those tests are for another trip and another blog post altogether.

I can’t wait to go camping, hunting, skiing, jogging, anything!

I just wish my old man was still here. I wonder how he’d like this heated jacket thing. He’d probably love it as much as I do.

Exciting gifts this Christmas! :)
