(Part 3) Best camping hand warmers according to redditors

You wrap it in those heat pack things. You know, you shake then and then they are warm. You use them in the winter. I wanna say "hot pockets" but that's a food.

Found it

HotHands Hand Warmers Economy Size Pack, 30 Pair https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UPCVP7U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_m9-6Cb1NSQSS3

The heating elements work pretty darn well this is the one I got on Amazon. Obviously the ones on the desk are a different company and they were not there for all the games I noticed. Since I have no idea what company it is, hard to have product placement. My guess it was a vendor at the MGM giving them out to players and are selling them to the rest there.

I didn't realize.

Have you considered https://www.amazon.com/kamlif-Mountaineering-Motorcycle-Rechargeable-Thanksgiving/dp/B07K7GGCGN (mostly kidding but the model is really amusing me for some reason.)

Upvoted! My girl is the same, so a lot of my gifts are warmth related. I've definitely done this in the past, but I usually go to bed after her these days.

I got her something like this: https://www.amazon.com/ThermiPaq-Relief-Medium-Therapy-Therapeutic/dp/B0089YXOSY. You nuke it for a couple minutes then put it by the foot of the bed, and it ends up warming things up for a few hours.

Also, couldn't find the exact one I got, but one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Defrost-Labs-Rechargeable-10050mAh-Flashlight/dp/B075X2JTMM/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1540852892&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=electric+hand+warmer&psc=1

My sister also got her electric narwhal footwarming slippers, which are pretty adorable.

There's also the HotHands hand warmers which are disposable.

It doesn't get that cold where I live but a thermal shirt/pants and or sweater, beanie and wool jacket would be my go to. I also have an M65 Field Jacket with liner for wet conditions where wool would not be ideal. Gloves and scarf where appropriate, a vacuum insulated mug for coffee/tea/water as well.

I'm from Fairbanks, but I live in Austin now, so I feel ya. Definitely layers, especially when you go ice fishing. 2 socks. They also have those hand warmers you activate and put in your pocket and shoes. HotHands from Amazon, they last around 7 hours, maybe?

Here's what I used to wear when I'd go snomachining when it was -20 degrees: winter hat, neckwarmer, t-shirt, long sleeve shirt or turtleneck?, jacket, tights/long johns, jeans , snow pants?, 2 socks (1st one is short, 2nd is taller), insulated boots, gloves/mittens. That way you can take off the jacket if you get to hot, and still have your arms covered.

FYI, people just say North Pole, not The North Pole. The North Pole is in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. :)

Have an awesome trip!

.18 cents a pop and could save your life. I got them on amazon a few months ago for $5 and the bag is huge, and each bag has two warmers inside, so you get 80 in total. Now it's $15 but still a good deal for lifesaving kit.

Get you a good coat, good thermal base layers, good boots, and good gloves. I got all of mine from patagonia's worn wear program. Those are all worth investing in. Keep cheaper versions of these in your car, or keep your good stuff in a bag and always bring it to your car with you. I've gotten stuck in weird rainstorms and windy times without my outdoor gear, and it sucks. Depending on if you're on a trail, it can be dangerous.

Get a hat with ear flaps, or get earmuffs, and get a good scarf. What works best for me is a tight infinity scarf so that it's close to the skin. Sometimes I wear two and pull one up over my nose--you can do this with one, but I've found that sometimes I'm cozier with two :)

For reflective stuff, LED things are great. I also use this kind of reflective wear when I'm walking. It's cheap and effective.

If you get snow or ice, these things are lifesavers. Dogs that don't normally bug you when they pull could easily pull you to the ground if they pull at the wrong time when you're on an especially slick spot. Obviously, that's a bad time, but especially if you're young it's easy to forget that it's dangerous, particularly in winter--and again, especially on trails where you'll be in a bad situation if you get hurt.

Layering is your best friend as others have said. imo winter boots aren't worth it, so long as you have a good pair of all-season boots that are waterproof. At that point, you just need two good pairs of socks and you'll be set.

CHAPSTICK and lotion!! Put it in all your pockets. People forget about this, but winter is super drying on your skin and I've experienced lip bleeding from super chapped lips. Also, get lotion with SPF. You still need sunscreen in winter.

It's also worth noting that you should be prepared for winter car emergencies if you drive to your walks, too. Keep a blanket, food, water, flashlight, and extra warm clothes in there. Make sure you have an ice scraper, snow shovel, flares (especially important in winter), and jumper cables. They even make self jump starters if you go to especially rural areas or don't have local contacts that can help.

Also, get your car checked out before winter hits full force. Some mechanics will do free system checks when you get your tires rotated or get your winter tires.

P.S. Rechargeable hand warmers exist. They rock, and many can also work as portable phone chargers.

Hot Hands can be a total lifesaver.

Ditto the blanket to sit on.

I've slowly built a collection of knit blazers for this reason! I'm in school part time working on my MBA and sitting classes at night, I always freeze. But we're supposed to be professional, so I can't just layer up the hoodies. I have 5 now in different neutrals, and just purchased a long, duster-length one in a dusty rose color that I can't wait to wear when it's just a little cooler outside. I also tend to always have a blanket scarf tucked in my bag somewhere, because even just spreading that across my lap makes a huge difference. If it's REALLY bad, my secret weapon is hand warmers. Not the most environmentally friendly option because they're disposable, but they make a big difference during a four hour class when even mug after mug of hot tea isn't helping.

I also do a lot of sewing and I've been playing around trying to draft a pattern similar to the Elizabeth Suzann Harper jacket. The Wiksten haori is another one that I have on my docket to sew this fall (in a cotton twill) and I have a beautiful ivory textured hemp blend that I'm going to layer with flannel and make a Sapporo coat.

They change names all the time, but this type is what you want:

this one or this one not the one with the side power switch apparently it's shitty and breaks

Wait until Cyber Monday (Monday after Thanksgiving) and it is usually much cheaper. My partner usually buys a bunch when they go on sale and gives them away as gifts.

battery powered hand warmer!

If your willing to spend some money, https://www.amazon.com/Rechargeable-ChillPRO-Portable-Reusable-Handwarmer/dp/B0793R3YFN its a rechargeable hand warmer.

If not, running up and down some stairs can do the trick. Your hands get cold because your heart is cold, and it takes heat away from your hands and feet to warm itself up. Using both is probably best.

These hand warmers would help me kick off the new year right cause they'd help me not be in pain all the time. If I get cold, which is pretty much 100% of winter, it takes a lot to actually thaw out (like a shower or generally touching a heat source to my skin for 15+ minutes at a time), but the hand warmers combat it in a major way for me. N I go through the one time use ones like they're crack ☺

Thanks for the contest!

CAT6 is short for Category 6 Ethernet Cable - basically electrical spec that a cable has to meet. CAT5e is enough for 100/1000MBit ethernet. CAT6 is slightly better and you can run 10GBit ethernet on it too (and having a better spec definitely won't hurt your slower connection).

At least a couple first pages have plugs - you plug one into router, one into your pc and you're done.

Just measure how long cable you need and buy the correct length:

• 10 m http://www.amazon.co.uk/CSL-Ethernet-1000Mbit-broadband-compatible/dp/B014DW3VI8
  
• 20 m http://www.amazon.co.uk/CSL-Ethernet-1000Mbit-broadband-compatible/dp/B014DWLWXY
  
• 30 m http://www.amazon.co.uk/CSL-Ethernet-1000Mbit-broadband-compatible/dp/B014DXBXPU

There's reusable handwarmers you could incorporate as well. Disposable ones would work but that might get excessive depending how often they're necessary. Apparently they regenerate with boiling water. get 2 and use 1 on each part of your commute (if that's what you're doing).

Note: I've never used them so I'm just trusting what the internet tells me.

Edit: There's all kinds, even USB rechargeable ones. That might be handy for hummingbird feeders in cold snaps.

Keep your core warm and it will take care of your extremities.

Also carry a small flask of whisky. Helps a great deal. Just don't use it in a life or death situation. And make sure your core stays warm.
