You know those Hot Hands chemical handwarmers? One thing that I do is dump one or two of those into my breast pocket so they’re right over my heart. It’s amazing what they do to keep you extremities warm. It helps to heat the blood. I got the idea after years of climbing into stands and having warm hands for about the next hour– the hands were acting as radiators, dumping the excess heat into the air. Once I cooled off, my hands got cold. I figured that if I could keep my core warmer, my hands would stay warm. It worked.

I use Hot Hands in the Fall for deer, and then I switch to a Jon-EE type of handwarmer for early season turkey hunting.

I have a friend from Glasgow. Alex plays with Angus in the pipe band. He was complaining about having cold hands and not doing well at a funeral. I told him about this idea.
