Hi everyone.
Have you ever tried those hand warmers that have a small metal 'button' that you need to click, to activate the hand warmer? Personally I'm a fan of them, pop one into a sleeping bag just before you climb in, and you're going to be climbing into an already toasty bag. Lovely feeling.
To 'recharge' the hand warmer you need to boil it. Well, this is the main reason for my post. I have often found them great to use, but when boiling water for my cuppa-soup (I'm a huge CS fan when camping) I like to add my used hand warmer into the water, then when the water is boiling, I take the hand warmer out, fully 'charged' and ready for reuse (once it's cooled, of course), and then adding my cuppa-soup powder. Or adding the water to a hot chocolate, or coffee, or whatever.
The point I'm making is, as long as the handwarmers are boil to reuse, you can pop them into any boiling water. Even if you're just boiling water to drink later, add a hand warmer...you already have boiling water, so make the most of it.
