Hand warmers

#1 Post by ovenpaa »

I was out shooting last Saturday, standing around as RCO my fingers got quite cold and one of the shooters offered me a disposable hand warmer, 'Hothands' from Tescos, they work out at 40p each and I was impressed at just how warm it kept my fingers when I popped it inside a glove.

Does anyone have any recommendations for disposable hand warmers?

these work well or these if they are in stock, or you could go with a Zippo type hand warmer, I use the disposables inside mitten type gloves when stuck up in a high seat, they are a lifesaver :good:

We bought some for skiing a couple of years ago from a well known auction site. They were cheap in bulk and would last a few hours each.
There are also electric gloves worth looking at, some can last almost a full day and have swappable batteries if it's a long one

As above, purchased a whole box full and worked out at just onder 50p a pair. They last a good 6-8 hours and I find if you take them out and let the air get to them, they get hotter again.
I see the same packs sold for£2 in the local camping shops!

Oh,
And a personal favourite of mine...

Boiled eggs!

They stay hot for a suprisingly long time and when they start to cool off - you eat them!

This is a fav technique of mine when camping, boil in water for tea (two fit in bottom of trangi kettle with enough water for a mug of tea), then keep in pocket for a snack later.

very green,

I still use the 2 hand warmers with compressed charcoal rods, that you light and place inside a safety wallet. I bought them over 40 years ago and they still work well.
I place one in the small of my back and one in my pocket, which I swap to the other pocket from time to time.
I find that if I keep my back warm, I am much more comfortable, (getting old I guess!)

Is that safe? Isn't there poo and stuff on the eggies?
The above post probably contains sarcasm or some other form of attempted wit, please don't take it to heart.

Well if there is it just spices the tea up some. DM being an old soldier, hell he's probably drunk worse. The old cookhouse tea comes to mind.
