Now maybe I'm just behind times, but I just came across an article in a fishing magazine that did some field testing of these body warmers. These body warmers have an adhesive backing that will adhere to your inner garments. They are nontoxic, odorless and emit a temperature of 127 degrees F for about 12 hours.
If these body warmers do what they claim, how about a couple inside your sleeping bag for real cold nights.
Now, according to the field test they are available for $1.00. This ad was in a fishing magazine from the states, so I'm not sure if they are here in Canada yet.

Has anyone tried these things? Curious!

Heres the website http://www.outdoorwarmer.com

Yes I used a Canadian Tire version. Worked fine.

It was a cold winter night 2 years ago when I went to bed (this was on a trip) with very cold feet. It says not to put these things in your sleeping bag on the cover, but I did anyway, and it was great. It was like a hot water bottle in your bag -- lovely.

It didn't work for me. But I kept them in my bag a couple of years before using them. May be they have an expiration date? At $1.00 the pouch, it is worth the try.
