[pct-l] Now I Have Seen Everything

[Hippy Notify]

You've never seen these things before?  My outfitter has sold them for years. Usually called Hand Warmers, they're a sack of some kind of powdered iron substance that heats up when you shake it.  A chemical reaction that lasts several hours.  The downside is they're heavy.

 I guess if I knew I would be  postholing all day in the Sierra snow melt, 
these might be neat to have.   See .........

But I would not let anyone know I  was using them.  I would just say the snow 
and ice did not bother me,  because I was a gnarly thru hiker.  :-)  I wonder 
if they would work  sleeping on a particularly cold night in your sleeping 
bag.  You could  put them between two pairs of socks.
