Hot take: staying warm starts the night before

Eating a good meal before bed, staying hydrated and getting real sleep matter more than any piece of gear. I’ve seen guys show up exhausted and dehydrated, then wonder why they’re freezing in the stand. I believe cold-weather prep starts the night before. Agree or disagree?

Showing up tired messes with your focus and how patient you are. If I'm already beat before sunrise, the whole hunt feels longer and colder
