Reusable Zippo hand warmers for cold nights/mornings and those compressed towel coins to wipe your face/ass/tears are life savers in the field.

Zippo Hand Warmer


Towel Coins

• Keep one of these in your pocket, and always keep your hand in your pocket with it.
  
  
• Or get the much more bad ass Zippo version. It's more expensive up front, but after the initial purchase, the price drops dramatically. This are also warmer than a Hot Hands.
  
  
• There is a guy around here that makes this Mitten thing that is open on one end. It's hard to explain. It is a sheep skin mitten with an open end. You wear it on your left hand all the time, and when you are walking or standing around, you put your right hand in the front of it to warm it up. Kind of like a quarter back hand warmer, except you wear it on your left hand. The best part is that is has a thumb, so you can still use your left hand to pick up your bag or hold a disc. I have seen them sold at D-Town Disc Golf in Doylestown PA, and I think he sells them out of his trunk at tournaments, but I don't know if he has an online store or anything.

It's a shame they are going for disposable hand warmers. They could get a lot more than 40 uses out of the traditional kind, for less money

Here's how they work:

I might need to order them some of the metal ones.

Edit Tweeted at Zippo and Street Roots to see if I can buy them a case.

Captialists try to get people to forget how things were done in a non-disposable fashion. (IMO)

Most of the responses will either be Hand Warmers or Gloves. I prefer hand warmers as they are the most convenient.

These are refillable ones I have that last for 8-12 hrs. Get hotter than the disposable ones, and last longer. Also cost less over the span of a few months.

these are them. Zippo-branded lighter-fluid fueled.

These right here are lifesavers. I'd recommend the 6 hour version. They last closer to 8 or 9. The 12s are the same way and last all day, but there's no way to turn them off short of putting them in a zip-lock bag and depriving them of oxygen.

Zippo Hand Warmers

I'm glad I don't face such extreme temps anymore, but when I did I found a Zippo Handwarmer to be a help.

Get the larger size. They're super finicky to get started until you get some practice; I use a Ronson Jetlite until the element is glowing. I also learned a trick - splash a bit of the fluid onto the element, then ignite that and keep it turning. Blow out the flame when the element is glowing red in a dark room.

It gets quite hot and then 'smolders' for many hours. It comes with a bag to limit air - less air means lower temperature but longer burn. I don't use the bag, just tuck it into an inside pocket, under my coat but over my sweater. You can use a couple, and there are plenty of sealable containers for taking along extra fuel.

They get much hotter than the trash disposable Grabber maxi pads, and you don't need to recharge them either. Mine have lasted me for several years.

This doesn't replace sealing around gloves and neck, etc. But it lets me get away with fewer layers.

Just one caveat - it's a flame. Small one, catalytic, relatively low temp, totally safe to keep in your pocket. But when I'm pumping gas or fixing a generator, I leave it a distance away. I don't feel like tempting fate or igniting vapors.

*you're maxxed out & drained. Your attention is overloaded & it's shedding side jobs like socializing. We've all been there & feel for you, it's awful. If you're missing the extroverted you, put some social appointments on your list. If you're not up to it at all, don't worry your extra energy will eventually rebound.

*keep setting the timer on your phone eat. Lessening your physical weakness is a great thing! It might not feel like it's worth it to eat balanced meals now but it will pay off in a slow build to energy months from now. Eat vegetables! People w ADHD especially need to eat leafy greens for nutrition. And if you can't be interrupted long enough to chew, nuts are calorie-dense & have helped me stay fit

*I use handwarmers (for hunters?) from Zippo from Oct - April. They stay warm about 18 hours. I wrap one around each knee, where I get especially cold even with layers. I've heard that the new electric rechargeable handwarmers are also great. I also wear 2 layers at all times, top & bottom--heat tech from Uniqlo, Hot Chillys thermal underwear from the ski shop, or my favorite ultra-thin silk thermal bottoms from the LLBean sale. Why be cold?? There are work-arounds.

*that project is killing you, even if it's just murdering your subconscious with worry. Get your attention pumping on how to strategize starting on it. Bribes? 3-minute bursts? A different location? Figure out how to make you work & how to cope with yourself. There will be a lot of these killing projects in the future but you're going to get better at working around your strengths.

Never heard of them. Being from Zippo and looking at the picture I thought it was the size of a lighter. It’s pretty large (4” x 2 1/2”).
