Buy the disposable hand warmers packets. I work outside in the cold alot and I've found that putting the packet on the top side of your hand inside your glove works best. This way warms the blood going to your finger tips very well. I use the foot warmers and just stick them to the top of my toes and put my boot on. Seems to work better than on the bottom as well. Buy the big boxes so you save $. I would buy them by the boxes from Walmart in the spring time, they mark them way down in price.. Pretty cheap... The adhesive body warmers work great, one on my chest, middle of shoulders, and if it was really cold I’d add a couple on my kidneys...I’m using them while on stand bowhunting, I don’t like a lot of bulk while I shoot so this helped my stay warm all day while hunting in some pretty cold weather...
Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes...... Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....

What Okie said. Put your hand warmer in an internal chest pocket as close to your heart as possible. It heats your circulatory system and keeps your whole body warmer. Took me a few years to figure it out.

I had probably still have 2 of the fuel stick type , they work but can get to hot , used them back in scouts and some for hunting , one guy burned his poly sleeping bag his got so hot. with virtually every piece of clothing being polyester now melting your cloths becomes a real concern.
a guy at work used to make buckets for people he made a seat for a 5 gallon pail , it had a metal coffee can in the bottom I think he put it on some small blocks to get it off the bottom a half inch and screwed it together then they lit a Sterno can and dropped it the coffee can there was a vent at the front of the bucket between your legs to let the heat out right where you could warm your hands.
he collected up the metal coffee cans from the break room coffee
most of them were using them for ice fishing but some used them in hunting blinds I think they knew someone who worked catering who could collect up all the 1/2 used sterno cans and they had a free supply of heat .
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

The disposable packets with iron powder work really well and no stink or burning elements. There are bundles 10x2 packs of grabbers on sale now at most stores. You can stuff them in your gloves, socks, pockets, hand muffs, wherever. I always keep a bunch in the truck during season and have saved many a trap check frozen fingers in our family. My son uses them in his back pockets of his baseball pants for cold early spring games to keep his fingers warm when he can. I used to use the stick burner warmers and liked those when they stayed burning. Got very warm. When they go out though out in field, they can be a real pain to relight especially if raining or in wind. Was one of main reasons I switched to disposable grabbers especially running late season coyote line mostly on foot. Jim That's what I use, no smell. Keep your hands in your pockets with them. They last about 6-8 hours and they're cheap to buy.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.

I could never get the liquid fuel type to work consistently. Had better luck with the fuel stick warmers. Same here. me too

I just found 2 of the old fluid type warmers in my stuff today. Anyone want them? I think they must have been my dad's. I don't like them.
