Between stands, leaving it in the box/back of a vehicle isn't a bad idea.

For pretty much all my optics the mircofiber towels that come on a roll like paper-towels about all I use anymore. The 1st time they leave a smudge, or, heaven forbid get dropped and land on the ground or the pickup floor, they're relegated to jobs that don't include optics or glasses with lens coatings. I also never use them for optics again after they've been washed as it seems like the soap never completely comes out and is always leaving smears/streaks. If you want a smaller piece in your cold-weather calling outfit, just cut them in half or quarters.

Microfiber towel roll

The above is just an example, there's tons of choices. Those towels are WAY cheaper than scratched/swirled lens coatings on scopes, binocs, spotters, Thermal/NV gear, LRF's, everyday eyeglasses, or sunglasses.

I've got those suckers EVERYWHERE! The white ones are actually my favorite as you can see if they get dirty or somehow get dropped and pick up dust or grit and need to be used for NOT OPTICS ANYMORE.

Rainy/snowy days (or wavy days when fishing) I'll put them in a small ziplock to ensure they stay dry.

I believe coyotes, carp and bullhead catfish were put on Earth to keep America's blood hot. Also yellowjackets:

It wasnt as bad as i thought only had a problem on one stand and it was my fault. I took a breath and for some really dumb reason exhaled right into the scope. I did end shooting one that stand but looked like i was looking through a frosted up window haha. got it fixed up on the drive between stands. I am hooked thats forsure

Yea the cover will retain the temp better on the scope so it's not such a drastic change in temp making it fog up when put in the cab. I keep it on right up until I'm making the stand and put it back on right after. Makes a huge difference.
One other strong recommendation is always keeping a mouth call around your neck if you don't already. Saved me on numerous stands when the electronic had battery issues or manufacturer issues in subzero temps. Some stands i prefer to call by hand anyhow depending on the surroundings/echos. Sceery makes a super nice closed reed jacktail distress call just to have as a solid backup. Have a bunch of Les johnson open reeds I love as well.
Don't forget to always have a longass drag with duel-ended slip knots in your pocket either. You'll thank me later if u haven't incorporated one yet esp in the deep snow.
