Yay! I always look forward to this thread. Here are some of my go to gifts:
I'll add more as I think of them!
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.

Was at Green Bay two seasons ago when we were last in the playoffs.
It's likely to get insanely cold there, so don't just layer up get hand warmers, foot warmers (you can buy both at any local Walmart in Minny), wear at least 4-5 layers with several being fleece, including thermal socks, long thermal underwear, and waterproof shoes. It was -30 and we barely survived it in GB; not sure if it'll be as bad in MN for you.
Doubt you'll have any problem beating them btw.
Wish I could buy the tix from you man; how much do you want for them?
I seem to suffer from cold hands a lot, so here's a few tips which may be obvious but are worth mentioning:
It's a hand warmer, you light the charcoal stick and it burns inside the case keeping you warm.

Can't play with cold hands purchased this and couldn't be happier.

Put some of these on the outside of your holster to thwart the heat sensors!

Stock up now, you'll want them on the 21st
I already have my ticket, but I'm hoping that OSU will do $10 tickets again to drag some friends along.
Use a carrot as a stylus. Sounds stupid, but it works on touch screens.
Also disposable pocket hand warmers.

Requesting not for myself but for a small unit of 20 Marines currently in the Middle East in an area that has no power or heat; there are no working showers or toilets. PX is not at this site, nor will one come. They are using bottled water for hygiene and also for wag bags; burn barrels are used for waste disposal.
They have requested Under Armour cushioned Cold Gear boot socks

Snowboard clothing is overkill unless you plan on staying through a winter storm. Just remember: cotton kills and wool is your friend. If nothing else get yourself a pack of wool socks and some wool underwear and then wear your normal clothes over those. The coldest I've seen Yosemite get to (in the last ~7 years of visiting every winter) was about 30F in the day and ~0-10F at night (really easy to manage). A good wool hat also helps for staying warm at night.
I'm jealous; I just moved from SLO to Oregon and won't be able to do my normal yearly winter Yosemite trip :( I'll miss wandering around in a kilt and tshirt when it's 30F and making everybody think I'm insane, but I can give some misc advice on Yosemite winter camping:
Can you feel your feet and get to them relatively quickly if the need arises? If so, these are awesome. I've never used them in my boots, but I use them in my gloves.
For a reusable option, these are good too, but they're a bit big for putting in boots.
Just be aware when you're shopping, if you ask a Canadian for recommendations you're going to get stuff that is much lighter than you will probably want to get. Up to -10C many of us consider this light winter wear weather, but you will probably be wanting full on baselayer, gloves, boots and heavy jacket.
Calgary winters are fairly mild (averaging lows of -10 to -15C), but they come with wild swings due to our proximity to the mountains, you might go to work and it's -20C and when you leave its +10C so be prepared with layers as other have mentioned.
In the middle of Jan/Feb it's going to get real cold, often reaching -30C to -40C for a few days and a couple weeks below -20C. Be prepared for these days, if you have a vehicle make sure to plug it in (all vehicles sold in Canada have a block heater installed) if you take transit make sure to get some hand and feet warmers (like this). Wind chill is no joke it's
notusually is listed as a "feels like" when looking at forecasts, if you're outside a lot pay attention to that number.Also if you have a vehicle and street park at home or work make sure pay attention if you're in a snow route, they will ticket you if you're parked there during/after heavy snow fall.
To cold weather games, i wear what i usually wear when i go skiing. Get a thermal undershirt, thermal leggings, some nice thick pants (jeans are ok), a t shirt, eitehr a sweater or a northface fleece, then a windbreaker jacket. I then put on a ski neck brace (the fleece kind that can go over the mouth) some backward ear muffs and a hat. Finish it off with gloves and some nice thick wool socks and you'll be set. You should also still be able to move around.
For heat warmers, get these. You can literally pick them up almost anywhere; warl mart, target, CVS, most convenience stores etc. You throw it in your gloves and break up and youll be warm. I use them a lot when i go skiing and they're amazing.
In all seriousness though if you haven't tried handwarmers and you have a problem with your hands getting too cold, give them a try.
Amazon link - you can get them at many retail stores in the area, usually in the camping section
For feet I have these Smoko USB Foot Warmer
For hands maybe this would help you: Smoko Toast USB Handwarmers
Mittens are typically warmer than gloves.

Old school hand warmer. You can still buy them and their solid fuel sticks. Celsius Solid Fuel Hand Warmer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00305KAUW/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_Gu.vyb8ME1B6A
A Peacock Handwarmer. Been using it for two years now, absolutely worth the money. It's great for chores around our farm, as well as taking to the shooting range, fishing, sporting events. I use it a lot. I bought a 32 ounce can of VM&P naphtha for like $10 when I got it and have barely made a dent in it. It's very economical.
Duluth is an absolute mecca for outdoor winter sports. Gear up properly and you'll love your life in the 8 months of the Northland's winter!
If you're getting outside a lot in Eau Claire, you'll do fine in Duluth. If you plan on spending significantly more time outdoors in Duluth, then that's another story. Depending on where you live in town, you'll have different levels of need for snow tires; either way I'd strongly recommend them. PM me - I'm selling a set of snow tires in great condition over on the Online Rummage Sale for Duluth/Superior facebook group.
FIY: I spent 3 years in Duluth as a Floridian with no experience with real winter. Gear up properly and you'll be outside all winter long! It's expensive, but it's TOTALLY worth the investment. Otherwise you'll be cold and miserable; and that is one hella long-ass winter.
Great work. It was -10 F (-23 C) here in Minneapolis this morning and I still biked. For extra warmth in emergencies, you can get chemical (reusable or disposable) warmers which can easily slip into pockets.
Something like this. They've saved my hands a few times. Maybe they can slip into your back pockets?

They make reusable hand warmers and they're fricking amazing!! They absolutely work, I was so skeptical but they're great. HotSnapZ Hand Warmers Reusable Round & Pocket Warmers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004CV2YXE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_NCk0BbBVEBBWH
Hand Warmers: You can go with lighter fluid powered or rechargeable; whichever style you pick really depends on him. I personally would like the Zippo but I don't mind the muss with the fluid - as a downside, it requires he also carry a lighter. If you do go the Zippo route, don't forget to buy some lighter fluid for it and a lighter if he doesn't already have one.
I vote for bar mitts and hand warmers. They work wonders. http://www.amazon.com/HotHands-Hand-Warmers-Pair-Value/dp/B00D7H9LIA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421184080&sr=8-1&keywords=hand+warmers
They work by making rust. which is cool
Replying to my own comment with some purchasing recommendations:
2. Next level folding chair. The locking feature is sick, most comfortable camp chair I've owned.
My goto folding table. I've got a bigger 8 foot one if I'm camping with a big group but this small one is perfect for 1-4 people.
3. Highly recommend this charger. Will charge a typical iPhone like 5 times and has QC 3.0 built in (quick charge, which is a nice feature at a festival). Currently on sale for $40 if you clip the coupon, I've seen it as low as $30, they'll probably go on sale for black Friday and Christmas too.
5. Bring a box of these babies and if it gets cold, you've suddenly made like 40 friends.
6. Something like this is a good choice for makeup. In case you have to go back to camp and freshen up, the light is a nice touch.
You might want to consider other options as well, like the reusable ones that have a fluid inside and a little activator. You 'snap' a little disk inside it and they give off about two hours of heat. You reuse them by boiling them back to a liquid state.

Here are some reusable options. I have poor circulation in my extremities too and the disposable ones make me sad because they are single use only.

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

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.
They work like ice packs (if you take reusable ones). You boil them to make them ready. In them there is a metallic disc which snaps when you apply pressure and starts the salt in the solution to fall out and generate heat. http://www.amazon.com/HEAT-WAVE-Instant-Reusable-Heat/dp/B000E48LVM I just picked the first link you'll probably find better ones.

My recommendation is to be prepared for very cold weather during the game. December highs during sunlight hours might be in the 40/50s, but it will likely be colder by game time. Be prepared to wear multiple layers, have thick socks and gloves. I personally always have hand and foot warmers as well.
I coach college ball so I'm constantly wearing jerseys when it's freezing out early in February. Your two best investments will be two pieces of a base layer. Companies like UA, Nike, etc. will be your best bet for pants and a shirt. Then I'd invest in a long sleeve red to go over it and under the jersey. You can also get a chest warmer that will stick to your undershirt to help. It saves me every spring.
I love these things. These also make feet warmers. https://www.amazon.com/Grabber-Hour-Hand-Warmers-Pair/dp/B001G7QECY/ref=sr_1_6?s=outdoor-recreation&ie=UTF8&qid=1483381686&sr=1-6&keywords=hand+warmers
You telling me they couldn't fork out for a bulk order of hand warmers? They'd probably even get a significant mark down if they ordered a large quantity considering how fucking much retailers mark up prices.
It will be cold as fuck, bundle up good and bring some of those hand warmers
he will likely catch a bit of harassment, but it shouldn't be all that bad.
parking will fill up early. it will be a lot of traffic, but imo its worse at the end of the game when leaving.
i dont know exactly where 333 is, but imo, this stadium has some of the best views from the upper levels compared to the old stadium especially.
who dey!
Thank you for doing this! The children and teachers of Oakland deserve so much better from the district. i know it's scary. Talk to your veteran teachers if you're feeling anxious since some of them may have been on strike before. I second going to the rallies! It'll inspire you. We did a lot of parent education before and after school to let them know why we were striking. It also helped build solidarity.
As a practical matter, (1) wear comfortable shoes since you'll be on your feet a lot; (2) bring snacks and water; and (3) get some hand warmers since you know how cold it is on February mornings.
A little trick for batteries in cold weather, tape one of these to the device

I hide from all cold like a total freak and tell everyone that I am "allergic to cold". But seriously...
I have a heated blanket in my bed.
I keep gloves in every jacket that I own just in case.
I buy hand and feet warmers (http://www.amazon.com/HotHands-Hand-Warmers-Pair-Value/dp/B00D7H9LIA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414044114&sr=8-1&keywords=hand+warmers) and stash them everywhere.
I wear sheepskin booties when I'm in the house.
I wear UGGS (I hate the way they look, but they keep my feet warm).
Lots of hats and scarves.
I have a little heater on my desk at work.
I tried nifedipine, but I hate it. I have also tried viagra, but it gave me huge headaches.
Basically, I do my best to bundle myself up all the time even in summer.
Don't throw with gloves on. Put a nice warm insulated mitten (not a glove, mittens are FAR better for this) on your throwing hand. When it's time to throw, simply pull your throwing hand out of the mitten, throw, and then put your hand back in the mitten afterwards. If it's cold enough, stick one of these hand-warming packets inside your mitten and I guarantee that hand will be nice and toasty. Feel free to wear a glove on your non-throwing hand since you won't be constantly pulling that glove on and off. Why a mitten? Because they're just better insulated to start with, plus with a mitten you can ball your hand up inside the mitten to warm it faster. If you use a hand warmer packet inside the mitten you can grab onto it with your bare hand as well.
I played a round in the middle of Nebraska winter, when it was 18 degrees and windy, and my hand was actually so warm inside of the mitten with the warming packet that I had to pull it out occasionally even when I wasn't throwing just to keep it from sweating.
Most of the responses will either be Hand Warmers or Gloves. I prefer hand warmers as they are the most convenient.
Zippo Hand Warmer, 12-Hour - Chrome Silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013HLGTL2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4h26BbHH51JSR
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.
The work ebbs and flows. You have to enjoy the job to make it worth it along with the pay. It varies area to area. But I could never rely on Deliveroo as my primary source of income. Even though it is very possible to make a killing.
​
As for punctures get some schwalbe marathon plus tires. I have never had a puncture with them and they will last 10,000km easily. They have paid for themselves over and over just through the time I would be wasting on the roadside repairing flats.
​
As for being wet and cold, invest in a decent breathable waterproof coat, waterproof shoes and gloves and your golden. Deliveroos own kit is shite. If you're desperate and get cold easily get some of these. I use them to warm my hands before I do rock climbing outdoors when its cold. They are a godsend.
​
As for them sneakingly adding a long ass drop to a double. You haven't got a lot of recourse. If your close to the restaurant you could take the food back, then call customer support. I wish they would stop doing it though :/

There's usually a sweater or jacket or something in my office.
I keep a small throw blanket on the back of my office chair.
There's also a heating pad that I smash between a small pillow and my lower back. This helps a LOT.
And there's a tiny space heater on my desk that I aim at my hands.
I have Reynaud's, so whatever the AC is set on, it's too cold for me. So I also have "Reynaud's gloves" which are like Isotoner fingerless gloves. Keeps my paws warm so I can still feel my fingers and can still type. In googling for an image, I just discovered there's a whole bunch of new Reynaud's gloves, some of which are self heating. I'm going shopping!
I also use Hot Hands (tuck them inside my fingerless gloves) and Toasti Toes(stick 'em to my socks).
I'm considering bringing in wool socks and fluffy slippers for winter -- this is Florida, so I'll need them for maybe 8-10 weeks. LOL. I HATE being cold.
Yikes! I'm sorry to hear that. Was it pretty serious (like amputations and shit?) or more like frostnip?
Try these. I've heard of people stuffing them in their gloves, back pocket, and socks. I can send you some Amazon links for my jacket, balaclava mask, thermal kit, and cycling overshoes. They're all pretty cheap, but effective.
A few of my suggestions (I have no clue what the price range is):

Captialists try to get people to forget how things were done in a non-disposable fashion. (IMO)
Hot Hands Heat Body Warmers with adhesive are my cheap go-to. 40 for less than $30 usually and stay warm for hours. Larger than the hand ones and to me are a much less intense heat because it’s spread out. I personally like these better than thermacare brand but we all have preferences thought I would share mine.
I also really try to think about deep breathing into my pelvis and expanding where I know I hold tight and clench in pain. Good luck endo fam!

I served in a cold-weather climate and one of the best things was those pocket warmers you can get.
Also, you can't go wrong with all kind of American candy or snack foods. Even if she doesn't like it, maybe her comps will, or she can share it with the people she meets there. People are always curious about treats from other countries.
A few of my own:
A great many things...including things you might not otherwise think of...can be powered by a 12V DC power source, such as a car battery.
Swing by Wal-Mart, and check out the Deep Cycle "marine" batteries. They're pretty low quality for marine needs, but they're perfect for ours. Even a mere 50AH of capacity will be PLENTY for what we do. You can pick one up for $40-$80 depending on size/capacity.
Next, look for or build some sort of distribution panel/box/etc. It can be as fancy or plain as you want. All you're after is some central point so you can plug in all this stuff you never knew could be powered off 12V. Personally, I use this guy but there's lots of other methods of doing this.
Now...there's all the obvious things you can power with it. Most motorized mounts, for example, plug right into the car lighter outlet. You can, of course, clip that connector and put some other connector (like the banana plugs my unit takes) on if you wish. But for these items, no further mods are necessary. Dew heaters and camera coolers are other common 12V devices.
Now here's where we get cute...Got a DSLR? It probably has an AC Power Adapter available for it, right? Take a close look at the specs for it...you'll see that while its INPUT is 120VAC (plugs into a wall) it's OUTPUT is plain ole DC...PROBABLY 7.2V or so (a 2 cell LiPo, for the record). Grab yourself a little adjustable step down gadget, cut the cable on the CAMERA side of the converter that's inline, and just use the handy battery adapter piece. Solder it up to the output side of your step down supply, solder up some wires on the input side, set it to 7.2 (or whatever) output, and poof...12V power for your camera. :)
You'll find there's a zillion devices that "plug into the wall", but if you check their OUTPUT, it's 12V DC (or less)...and thus, you can use this method to power them in the field off your field battery. :)
What good are they? Well...they're adhesive on the back, AND you can cut them to your desired length, and solder new lead wires onto each strip. Viola...you've got night-vision safe lighting for your laptop, your telescope, your field table..whatever! They serve both to illuminate your work area, AND mark your equipment for others' safety.
They're heat packs. Commonly used by skiers and snowboarders on very cold days. I got a real kick out of seeing them used in OWL. Voila
Keep your core warm and your extremities will be warmer. It sounds like you have that covered though. Doing some light cardio exercise can also help get the blood pumping a bit and make you feel a tad warmer.
Those are some ideas to keep the root problem away, but it's likely you might still have cold fingers. I tend to submerge my hands into a basin of hot water and stretch them around a bit and then dry them with a warm hair dryer when I find them getting overly cold during practice sessions.
I also have a pair of hand warmers I'll sometimes use for cold, outdoor gigs, but that's probably not necessary for your situation.
I’ve had a similar problem with my phone and digital camera and I like to hike in the winter.
Solution is to either keep the phone in an inside pocket close to your body so that it stays warm, or to carry an external battery pack against your body so that it stays warm and run a cord to your phone.
Personally I don’t have anything with a good internal pocket and I shed a lot of layers while hiking so I picked up one of these this winter and love it:
OCOOPA Rechargeable Hand Warmers, 5200mAh Portable USB Doule Side Quick Heating Electric Hand Warmer/Power Bank, Classic Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H3LZGSP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_t7UoDb58PHM96
Doesn’t have a ton of capacity to charge your phone but I got an easy 7-8 hours out of it on the lowest setting. You can either keep it on low and store your phone with it, or you can just turn it on to warm your phone when you want to use your phone.
The disposable handwarmers work great too, it depends how much use you’d get out of a reusable option.
Do you mean besides using conventional methods (tea/coffee/warm water/a hot rice sock)?
My gf uses these and they get really hot really fast. (LCS players use similar hand warmers if not the exact same ones if it makes any difference to you)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007ZF4OA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_D-TtDbHKSV25B
If you live somewhere where this is a risk, why not stock these in your car? Probably a safer alternative to a space heater that you could sleep soundly with.
> Like can they go on facebook in picks and bans or draw in paint?
I think I've seen some players play OSU! as a warm-up once or twice, but I'm not sure if it was during LCS. I assume they have limited access to internet and the computer's software though.
> Also what is that squishy thing in their hands all the time?
They use it to keep their hands warm. As /u/CFThirty mentions, they are called "HotHands".
> And are those face cameras always on? or just when broadcasting?
It's another assumption I make, but I think they're always on. The LCS producer will probably tell what images are showed on stream.
> Can they hear the crowd or announcers?
Sometimes, because it is very hard to cancel out all sounds. The huge black things on their ears are meant to keep out the noise though.
> Is it illegal to remove their headsets?
Yep, unless the game is on pause and the referee needs to ask the player something. In that case communication is just easier by removing the headset ;-)
More information about all the LCS rules can be found here.
A couple of these are nice.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013HLGTL2/ref=cm_sw_r_em_api_1gifAbWD9QBQG
These are great to have. Not only in case of emergency but just for if you're walking around and get chilly.
Are you looking for survival stuff or what? I'd also keep some flares, a first aid bag, flashlight, batteries, food, bag of cat litter, any medication you need, change of clothes (I like to pack a pair of thermals), gun, ammo. I don't mean your oper8tor AR15, more like a .22 and 100 rounds of ammo.
I use hand warmers to remove and prevent due. Don't wipe the due off, you will only make it worse. I use an ace bandage to hold a hand warmer like these on. They will clear and prevent due https://www.amazon.com/HotHands-Hand-Warmers-Pair-Value/dp/B00D7H9LIA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1473213251&sr=8-3&keywords=hand+warmer

Im sure any handwarmer will do but here is an example. You can also get the foot warmers which are nice because one side is sticky. When I did it I would get the urine right before I head to the test and then stick a handwarmer onto the bottle immediately to keep it warm. Im not a 100% sure about this but im guessing there is a range that the temperature needs to be, probably somewhere between 80-120 degrees Fahrenheit, I never had a problem with it being too warm but I did have a friend that was using the same method and his turned out too cold, I think its because he got the urine too early. The goal of the handwarmers is just to maintain the heat that is already there not actually warm the urine. Good luck, hope everything works out for you!
My husband likes these, there's lots like it on Amazon (the ones I used, and the ones he uses are able to be thrown in an autoclave for sanitation). Pen Lights are also useful. If you have a cold environment and someone who works overnights especially, these are great, I put a few in my husband's stocking every year.
In hopes of encouraging people to do what you said, just a little push to make it even easier... $6 for 10 pairs, prime eligible! http://www.amazon.com/HotHands-Hand-Warmers-Pair-Value/dp/B00D7H9LIA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416406520&sr=8-1&keywords=hand+warmers
Thanks for the awesome idea<3
whenever my friend snowboards she brings these with her. it'll warm you up for a bit!! good luck surviving! brace yourself!
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”).

get some hand warmers maybe? I have some at my house for just that situation (doesn't happen a lot, just sometimes)

These! Boot-specific versions exist and they stick onto your socks, but the hand ones work just as well and are easier to find. Plus they're usually bigger. Quality varies brand to brand.
I don't think it is necessary to give a gift card for a lowkey care package, but if you know they are struggling financially or they have a favorite grocery store or clothing shop then it sounds like a great idea. You can utilize things like Groupon, Amazon home services for cleaning and home repairs, BlueApron or equivalent food prep boxes. I have heard that many people like those type of subscription boxes.
My personal favorite care package goodies are shared below. I would wrap a pretty scarf around a small bundle of goodies. And to make it all pretty, I would pin artificial flowers and a thoughtful card to the front.

But in terms of "adulting" you could give them Groupon vouchers for cooking classes or yoga/meditation. But if they are strapped for cash, I would definitely include a gift card to their local grocery store.

Buy bulk box of these... One works really well for an entire session of playing. My hands also get ice cold. I found keeping my feet warm tends to help with my hands too... but sometimes my hands are just cold all on their own.
I use the hand warmer whenever I'm not in the thick of things... like if I'm just auto running I'll grab the hand warmer for like 10-15 seconds and it helps.
They're expensive but I absolutely love my Lake winter boots. Got them used on eBay about 5 years ago for $180 in excellent condition. For gloves I use Pearl Izumi lobster gloves.
I've always had cold hands and feet and sometimes even the above isn't enough. When it's really cold I put Hot Hand hand warmers in my gloves, against the palm/base of fingers, and in my boots on top of my toes. They are very toasty.
Tip: The Hot Hands last quite a while and are still useable after a ride. They heat up with air contact so when I finish my ride I put the Hot Hands in a plastic bag and squeeze out as much air as possible. They can't stay in the bag forever but will stay in limbo for a few days. I've used one pair on three different rides. Another trick is that they get hotter the more you shake the package so the first time I only shake it a bit. That way I can be sure they'll be good for another ride.
Write yourself a reminder of how to start a fire with the items within your car:
How to start a fire with your car battery
You know, in case you do not have a cigarette lighter working in your car.
It is REALLY. IMPORTANT. To stay dry. Get a slicker for each member of your family, as well as sturdy, water proof foot gear. If you can get a combo snow coat/water proof whatchmacallit, that is perfect. I personally take all items, and vacuum seal them in ziplock Space bags (including first aid, flashlights, flares, everything, to ensure they are protected from moisture before being placed into the duffle bag)
Handwarmers. A buttload of handwarmers. The can last up to 10 hours!
first aid kits, -40 degree sleeping bags, solar rechargeable/hand cranking latterns/flashlights, a simple manual on field survival (scavenging for food, simple traps, signaling for help, a small sum of money in case you need to purchase gas/towing/food, flares, freeze dried, high calorie foods (nuts work amazing))
Water. I am a bit miffed at the person that said he does not store water, but carries a water filter. ALWAYS. CARRY. WATER. A 24 pack of water bottles in the trunk with the tire is good, or a few liter bottles with some air space for expansion. Having a water filter does nothing if you do not have a source for water, or the means to melt snow/ice. Get a water filter as something supplementary. Pack a cheap multi tool and a good knife as well.
A fire starter (flint) and some simple kindling(a sandwich baggie of cotton balls) added tip--coat your cotton balls partially in vaseline, it will increase the flammability of the cotton, and help repel water.
Something I also include, is a pair of foot long 2x4 pieces. I name them the 'clackers'. Smacking 2x4's together is akin to a gun shot, and will get the attention of someone if you do the typical SOS morse code pattern. They also scare away wildlife. Although I always travel armed.
A typical portable jump starting battery
You can often find these little systems with ports which can charge your phone.
A tarp or tent in case your car is compromised and cannot provide adequate shelter
Maps, both local and national (in case you travel) and a compass.
A simple dig out kit for getting your car free (shovel, kitty litter, or a tin can and candle trick, ropes, tire chains, etc)
*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.

"Hot Hands" are my friend, and now maybe yours too.
https://www.amazon.com/HotHands-Hand-Warmers-Odorless-Activated/dp/B0007ZF4OA/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=hot+hands&qid=1573576370&sr=8-4
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.
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.

You're in luck!
tight underwear or the boxer briefs that run down your legs 6-8 inches preventing anything from falling out. buy an extra pack of hand warmers read the instructions on how to get them to warm reliably. Either preheat the urineluck in a microwave with the cap off in ten second increments (two should be max needed) or set it in a ziplock bag in a cup under hot water for five minutes to raise it up to temp. I let mine stay above temp and then drop it down to the right temp just outside the test clinic (two heaters will do this well) remove one heat pad and head in. Before I drop it in their cup I make sure its below 100 (some can measure initial too hotness) but above 90. Having it not be warm enough is the big risk.
If you get screwed like that a last ditch effort is to rub your thumb on your jeans until its real hot and then touch the temp strip till it hits 96 or so (risky)
Fuck Ronald Regan he was a B movie president and his workplace drug laws are a joke. A MAJORITY or near majority of people here in WA actually smoke pot regularly and fake it like this or in a similar fashion.
Your chatting doesn't bother me much, it was insightful, and I thank you for your insight!
Unfortunately, that was a mistake in the formation my survey, and if I were to re-do it, I would have included some options, including menstrual pain.
There is another sort of handwarmer that may work well, they are reusable, about the cost of 10 handwarmers. I'm not sure about their heat level, but I may buy some- if I do I will do a temperature vs time curve for you, compared to temperature vs time for the iron based ones!

I'm not trying to bump these people's sales up or anything like that- there are quite a few brands of the handwarmers that use sodium acetate.

Not as good as heated gear but way cheaper.
Hand warmers are great! HotHands hand warmers its probably to late to order them but you can find them at most camping out doors sports type stores. Or even in the camping isle of Walmart, target etc. I used two for the start of a colder marathon start. One I would switch between my hands and the other one I put in my sports bra lol. Once I warmed up around mile 2 or 3 I tossed them near a water stop.
Your fingers are what you really want to be worried about.
My suggestion would be to have some hand warmers in your sporran, and possibly have a pair of fingerless gloves on, if it's within uniform regulation in your band.
By tunic, do you mean a doublet? Because those are quite warm. When you're playing your body warms you up in your core, so mostly you just need to be worried about your extremities - feet and hands mainly. Thermal socks can help under your hose.
Also if it's below freezing I'd avoid playing pipes entirely.
I carry a wool blanket, a tarp, and either a space blanket "sleeping bag", or regular space blanket + duct tape.
I find that the blanket comes in handy all the time for padding fragile items in my car, and the tarp is great for transporting anything wet or dirty.
I'd strongly recommend either several chemical hand-warmers, or a couple of reusable handwarmers (i've had good luck with these) to actively raise your temperature when needed. Then, if you make sure to dress right and stay dry, you should be able to keep your skin at a good temperature.
If keeping your core temp high is particularly important, I'd suggest keeping a jet boil type stove (or any other tiny camping stove), a water bottle, and some hot chocolate or tea packets in the vehicle as well. Never use a stove like that in an enclosed space, of course, but there's nothing like a hot drink to warm you up fast from the inside.
They are called handwarmers, the more you hold it in your hand or leave it in your pocket the warmer it gets. You can buy some from amazon etc.

Those exist in the UK try searching Serbian Amazon.
Something not much people do, but handwarmers really help and give me a sense of warmth in the cold!
Yeah, or Walmart, Rite Aid, whatever. They are a few dollars for a small pack, but they are one use only.
these are them. Zippo-branded lighter-fluid fueled.
Yes, but you need mitts not gloves. I have some fairly good ones (pd about $60 form them) that I also use for x-country and downhill skiing.
You can also get hand warmers that work really well too. I use the foot ones as my boots are not that great and I have bad circulation in my feet.
I totally had this problem after I lost weight, before I got pregnant. I got myself one of these battery hand warmers:
OCOOPA Rechargeable Hand Warmers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H3LZGSP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_PTrzDbHJKHED4
It is sooo soothing to turn this thing on and hold it, or stick it in a pocket, or when I'm really cold I tuck it into a scarf at the back of my neck and that seems to warm me up all over. And since it's battery powered you can carry it with you when you go outside.
Doesn't fix the problem but it makes it a little more bearable!
A hand warmer attached to the lens barrel should help with keeping any condensation on the glass at bay.

Stock up on these
That's... Not at all what I had in mind. I was looking at these.
And it's not that my room is cold(cuz if it is, I can just wear a hoodie or turn on my fireplace), it's just that my hand gets cold.
What about when I toss one of these to you?
http://www.amazon.com/Grabber-Hand-Warmers-Box-Pair/dp/B001G7QECY

Maybe some of these:

PS- I love these for thick injections. Wrap 'em in a washcloth and apply. Also, w the PIO, letting it run under hot sink water can thin it out a bit before injecting.
http://www.amazon.com/HotHands-Hand-Warmers-40-pairs/dp/B0007ZF4OA
What about adding several of those smack-to-heat pad thingies (like this or this)? Although I know the insulation isn't perfect, I was just thinking that maybe with a little tweaking it would be enough to work.
Thanks!
I think I might buy the hoodie, and buy a cheaper jacket to cover it since I work in concrete.
Are you familiar with these hand warmers? They work pretty well, but I am not sure if they would be so practical while on top of a tower lol.
I am so bummed to hear you had such a lousy experience with your PTs. It makes me wonder if they had any experience with arthritis. :/
So no pools by you...what about just soaking in a tub for a bit with some epsom salt? I know it sounds hokey (and is totally something my grandparents used to do), but it's relieved some of the ache for me, especially during the wintertime. Another thought is heating pads and those shakey heater thingies? (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007ZF4Q8?ascsubtag=[]st[p]cjcatfjvc00r2mvy6pklgx6ft[i]sYgGPh[d]D[z]m[t]w[r]google.com&amp;tag=thestrategistsite-20) - I shove these in my pockets to help with the ache.
One more suggestion and I promise I'll stop. I dropped 50 pounds about a year before I got my diagnosis, and after my diagnosis I really focused on strengthening my glutes and hamstrings (I worked with a trainer). That has also made a different for me in terms of pain - maybe something to look into?
It's badass that you got the weight off and have KEPT it off, despite dealing with freaking hip OA (seriously, aren't bone spurs the worst? nobody tells you your freaking HIP IS GOING TO GET STUCK with OA. UGH).
Hang in there, man.
I'm a college student, so I totally understand buying cheap stuff. Here are some of my personal finds.
I bought these cute rain boots for myself about a year ago, and they've held up well! They come in a lot of patterns; I have the argyle plaid just because I like plaid, but the polka dots are cute too. :)
I have this scarf in red. It's super warm and comes in multiple colors. :)
I'm pretty attached to my phone, so I have these gloves. I love the knitted pattern, and it's a must for me to still be able to do stuff on my phone while I have gloves on.
I have some heated purple slippers (battery operated) from Sears, and they're really nice since my floor is wood. I have my eye on these adorable slippers though because they're just so cute. I love food with cute faces on them. :D They're kinda pricy though.
Also, Hot Hands are a savior. I would buy them from Walmart or Target; it's cheaper, and you can get however many you want. These kept my hands warm when I was outside in freezing temperatures from midnight to 10 am!
I hope Reddit doesn't frag me for posting an Amazon link: link
my experience so far:
I was out yesterday in 7-13 degrees C weather and I had no issue with the film. I put it in my hoodie pockets and my body heat was enough to prevent any green tint.
my first time out with a Polaroid it was around - 2 ish degrees C which indeed caused a green tint.
thought/idea, have not tried:
you could also get a bag and put a reusable hand warmer in there, you know the ones that you boil to restore. they don't cost much. they will hopefully work. I mean for a longer walk you'd need more than one so you could swap them as they go cold. this should keep your film packs warm when not in use.
something like:

latex gloves don't breathe and eventually your hands get cold if they sweat too much. I like these in cold weather....
http://www.amazon.com/Little-Hotties-Hand-Warmer-Pack/dp/B000JJP0UM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1458312339&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=little+hotties
Hard to tell by just looking at it. It's obviously been used so it looks sort of old. But they still make them and they haven't really visually changed over the years.
I had one of these when I was younger and it got that charred looking after a few uses. I wouldn't assume the one in the picture is ancient based on the condition.
Gloves AND mittens you say? How about convertible mittens!? You can find them at winter/outdoor clothing stores.
Another thing to consider would be the insulation of the gloves. I have gloves with 40 gram "thinsulate" insulation and they work fine for me. If you get them with insulation, make sure they're "breathable" otherwise it's going to be difficult to get them dry. There is nothing more disgusting than putting on gloves that are completely wet. Ugh...
There are also those air activated hand warmer things. They might be overkill for 40F temperatures, but might be appropriate for -40F.
Glove liners could be useful as well.
Two tips that might work for your friends' problem:
The hothands ended up burning me which sucked so I tried to put in a barrier(a paper towel). It was not strong enough because the heat is tight against your body. I only usually need heat the first few days of my period so I stopped using the hot hands but next month I'll try a stronger barrier for the heat. It's a less expensive solution to buying these every month for IBS and period pain. So I'm really going to try to make it work. I bought a 40 pack of hothands for $15 which is a pretty good deal considering how expensive thermacare is.
I bought a pack of handwarmers off amazon (~$25 for 40 pairs, but you can cut in half so its actually 80) and will keep them in the trunk. Hasn't gotten cold enough in Boston to need to use yet though. But, I think they would get warm enough to unfreeze the handles & trim areas w/o damaging anything.
If your hands get really cold I would recommend either the dachstein extreme mittens, or something from Ojbro Vantafabrik
https://www.amazon.com/Dachstein-Woolwear-Extreme-Austrian-Mittens/dp/B0152EHMJ0
https://www.sweaterchalet.com/ojbro/
Also, chemical hand warmers last too long for most uses, unless you are going to be outside for hours they are a waste of money. But the reusable gel handwarmers last 20-30 minutes, which is just right for commuting or shoveling, and can be recharged in a pot of boiling water (or even in a microwave)
This kind you stick in the microwave to warm up

This kind you just "recharge" in the microwave, but you can activate them at any time

I love being in Florida for the winter. But trust me, we have weather problems here during the summer. The last thing you want to do is hike around in the humidity for too long.
Have you tried using hand warmers that go in your gloves? They are often found on the counters at stores like Walmart and Walgreens. Also any sporting goods store carries them for hunters and other people who do activities outdoors. They are pretty cheap since they are disposable. I pick them up during our cold snaps to hand out to the homeless. The portable, non disposable was mentioned as well, and amazon has a ton of those. Here's the link to the disposable.
Maybe pick up one of those reusable chemical hand warmers? Like this thing. You can use it to melt the ice on your door handles and windows, then boil it when you get back home to reactive the heating chemicals for the next day.
I swear by bentonite clay in a tub for 30 mins to soak. I use warm to hot water and afterwards you feel so refreshed. The clay helps with detoxing your body and the first few times your water will be black or purpleish. But after using it awhile it will only turn it light grey or alittle murky. The clay will clump up and i dont unclump it just stir it around the water. I run the water then put in clay once im in the water, swirl it around and then just close my eyes and relax.
Its like $10 for 2lbs and you only use 1/4 to 1/2 cup at a time so it lasts a while. I started out every 3 days then when water stays grey i turned to once a week or when i start having pain/spasm/ feeling sick.

Oh and keep some hot hands on you they are great for when it gets freezing.

These hand warmers.
I know the pros use hand warmers during tournaments. Though, that's probably not the most cost efficient way to keep your hands warm playing every day throughout the winter lol
You pinch a lil disc thing on the inside to activate them. They work for 2 hours then you boil them to reset. I have like 5 of them I constantly use these and they fkn rule! :D

I wore these when I was in Iceland in March 2016 (so. freaking. cold.) and they were great! I can't stand having my hands cold, so I bought some wool liners for the gloves and Hot Hands to stash in my jacket pockets too. Have fun in Iceland; it's an amazing place!

I went to Iceland this past February and took my Mavic Pro. Some tips I have for you are:
toe warmers
hand warmers

Not sure how no one has posted this yet, a popular solution in the pro scene (you can literally see them doing it between rounds at LAN) is to keep one of these at your desk. I've found this helps a bit myself.
Here you go
Fans that small are generally VERY LOUD because they have to spin at a much higher RPM to generate air flow. So while it may keep your PSVR from fogging up, you probably won't be able to keep the sound from leaking to your ears.
As someone who has been snowbaording for years, i solved the PSVR fogging up the same way I do for my snowboard goggles. Warm it up before I use it to equalize the temperature of the goggles and my head. I usually do this by placing it within my jacket before I start my first run and anytime I take them off. With the PSVR, I do something different but the concept is the same.
I kept the PSVR box since it was already lined with foam and helps to retain some heat.
https://www.amazon.com/Hand-Warmers-HotSnapZ-Reusable-Pocket/dp/B004CV2YXE
With reusable hand warmers, I activate it, place it in the box on top of the PSVR HMD part and leave it for about 10 minutes. The hand warmer warms up with HMD where it's lightly warm but never hot since the warmers themselves never get hot enough to cause any pain anyway.
Never had fogging issues even here now in the PNW where it's getting a lot colder and more humid.

Prepare to have your life changed. I use them on the slopes, look into gear people use for the snow, there’s all types of heat gear.
I typically adjust my helmet so I can just put my hoodie or a normal winter hat under it, which keeps me pretty warm on my ears and head. Barring that, a balaclava is nice too
I have yet to find gloves that are good enough to keep my hands from freezing so I often take the time at lights to rub my hands together. I really want to try out Bar Mitts or similar "pogies". I keep Hot Hands in my backpack in case of emergencies
I've found that cheap light waterproof non-breathable jackets can be helpful because they're thin and really trap heat. Most rain shells are breathable so they don't suffocate you in warmer weather, but I've found that the crappy non-breathable ones are great for winter for that same reason. I can go with just a sweatshirt and one of those and I'm usually sweating by the end in freezing temps. The only problem is I have to keep moving. It's useless if my body's not doing work to keep the heat building up, which is problematic if you may get stuck somewhere remote.
I want some clear glasses as well, for windy/snowy days when the precipitation stings my eyes. I think something like these would probably do the trick. REI sells, Tifosi, a brand of bike glasses, but I think these would be overkill for me

just a thing to hold your electronics in to keep them insulated from the cold during flight, and cushioned for the impact of landing.

not required but can be helpful when hunting down your payload
[hand warmer] (https://smile.amazon.com/HotHands-Hand-Warmers-Odorless-Activated/dp/B0007ZF4OA?sa-no-redirect=1)
also optional, i've never used them, generally used to keep your batteries warmer as warm batteries perform better than cold.

you'll likely use a 4-6 pack that has the batteries connected in serial to supply the 5v the arduino needs

the trackuino code already has provisions for this temp sensor so it requires very little modification to the code to use.

Any antenna thats made to operate on 144.390 mhz (assuming you are in the US, other countries you'll have to check your band plan) will work. I make mine from 2 19" pieces of 20 gauge wire.
Naproxen sodium, weed, masturbation. Also heat water bottles/heated pads/ect. Oh, LPT: if you live in a cold place, you can probably get these and put em near your uterus area (I stuffed em down the front of my leggings lmao) for days where you need relief fast and you're at work or out and can't do the aforementioned remedies. I was a bit desperate one day, and these brought me sweet, sweet relief.
Buy her a box of these.
I have a few different sizes of this product. Based on the fact that they're air activated, I'm guessing this this is the type of product that won't work?
Edit: clarity

They are single-use chemical heating pads. You activate them by shaking them and they get very nice and warm. Handy to keep around.
Last winter was ridiculously cold so I tried to find the best gloves this year. I came to the conclusion that you need at least 2 pairs (maybe three) for the varying conditions.
For the super cold days I settled on Black Diamond Soloist finger gloves. I also bought a case Hot Hands for when the conditions change on the trail.
The Peacock hand warmer is supposed to be superior to the Zippo.
I live in Salt Lake City and we get some cold conditions nothing like Everest. I have shot in -5 and to insure battery life I keep batteries on the inside of my jacket. As for the camera itself I taped some [hand/body warmers] (https://www.amazon.com/HotHands-Adhesive-Body-Warmer-count/dp/B005J2K356/ref=pd_sim_468_8?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B005J2K356&amp;pd_rd_r=VG8ZYNG61SE8HSMNRFH5&amp;pd_rd_w=9CDc8&amp;pd_rd_wg=F38u4&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=VG8ZYNG61SE8HSMNRFH5)to the side and back (was using battery backpack). It seemed to help was able to get just under three hours of life with that setup. The big keep is keeping the batteries warm.
Serious question: Is that the chemical reaction happening in products like these?
I use hand warmers. I have bad circulation so my hands, mainly fingers get cold quickly.

Gloves are amazing, but some people have trouble throwing with them on. I personally have a pair of underarmor gloves that have small grips on the fingertips that help a great deal. If that does not work, I would recommend having a stash of these: http://www.amazon.com/Little-Hotties-Hand-Warmer-Pack/dp/B000JJP0UM handy. Keeping one in a pocket, or tucked into your shorts and warming up your hands on those longer turnovers will help a great deal.
I do construction in Michigan and feel like I need extra warmth for my hands. I use the nitrile or rubber coated gloves that are insolated for winter. Then wear a knit or cotton glove inside the insolated one. On really cold days i add the small hand warmers in between the glove layers in my palm. I can hammer, carry stuff and never be bothered by the handwarmers. I use one set of both kinds of gloves in the morning and then put on a dry set after lunch. I use these hand warmers.... http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0007ZF4OA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1418862991&amp;sr=8-1&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=51%2Bk8z12gRL&amp;ref=plSrch&amp;pi=AC_SY200_QL40
Gloves/mittens plus hand warmers. You can buy them at any sporting goods store or on amazon I'm sure. They last a long time. They also make ones for feet and toes. Here's a link!

For today? Way to leave it last minute.
Just get something Red and call it a day.
I got some Red Reusable hand warmers for my Scuba Dive club Xmas secret santa.
If I get stuck doing stackers on a cold winter night there is nothing nicer than having a pack of hand warmers.
Eg. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001G7QECY/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?qid=1381546960&amp;sr=1-8&amp;pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
Other than that always make sure you got good rain gear and cold gear. Plus don't cheap out on your boots, wet & cold feet will make any shift miserable!
Keep your hands warm

You can get them on Amazon, you can probably get some for cheaper, these are the just the first ones I saw. Sometimes they might have them at your local sports store (usually in the winter)

I would also throw in some hand warmers in cold climates.
I'm in Austin so it's not as cold but the few cold nights we get can really Suck since you don't have any exposure to come weather.
That's why when I know it's going to be cold at night. I bring a few extra hand warmers to pass around the bus stops that I know homeless people frequent.
For $20 you can get a nice box of 40.

The particular device in question is this. I know that USB C flashlights are the same way. They won't charge with USB C unless it's a C to A connection.
You can purchase these small heat packs that you shake and they warm up for about 30 min. Only downside is that while they are reusable, they have to be boiled each time after use.
