When I do wear gloves I like to put them on the back of my hands. Doesn't affect dexterity and blood vessels in back of hands carry heat to fingers better.
Very informative video. I, like yourself, do not like wearing gloves and I’ve been using the handwarmers in my pockets for a number of years. Thank you for sharing the other uses as well.
I don’t throw these words around very often but you sir are a hunting genius You’re very practical use only good quality items but are also frugal when purchasing items I’m new to hunting with me about my third season and I found your channel because of the lone wolf Treestand videos as I keep getting busted on the ground
Great video Jason . When I come out of the woods and my hand warmers are still really warm and I only used them a couple hours I put them in ziplocks and force the air out . They shut down and I can use them again that day or the next morning for a while before I have to open up new ones .
That is a fantastic tip!!!! Also the ziplock bag gives you a place to put them even when they die. I end up with like 10 dead ones in every pack pocket by the end of the season!!
Jason I also put either a hand or foot one under my neck gated right where my spine comes into my neck let me tell You it just shoots warmth all the way down your back. Phenomenal
You gave me more places to place my warmers. I used toe warmers exclusively last season and thru Ice fishing season due to the adhesiveness. They worked great! I place a toe warmer in a soft, insulated lunch box with my ice auger batteries and it worked great also. I hesitate to place the warmers directly on my batteries because the warmers do heat up to pretty high temps.
OMG! My wife keeps telling me to take them before I went hunting the first time. I replied that these are for city people to get warm ;) There you are recommending them. They are even cheaper in Japan. My hands and feet are always cold, will use them. The people I go with tend to wait for the deer instead of chasing, means I got cold quickly :)
Always put mine (adhesive) on my chest or wedged between my ribs and arms. Creates a ton of body heat that circulates throughout your body and paired with a wind proof insulated hoodie, I’m cooking.
Those hand warmers are handy I have always bought em but never use em then iam like I have some at home dont know why i dont use em don't do me any good there lol I did use em this year I have that sitka fanatic vest and used em there and just keeping both hands together world of difference thanks for sharing your tips enjoy watching your videos
I feed homeless cats here in Ontario, Canada and use these to keep their bowls warm. Sometimes they work, but most of the time they dont. but I trie. These days coming up we are going to be extremely cold and all I want is the cats to have the time to make it to their food before it freezes!
I find putting the toe warmers on top of my toes instead of under works better. With them being air activated, under your toes, you can cut the air between the bottom of your foot, and the bottom of your boot. There is usually a small air pocket between the top of your toes, and the top side of the boot. The warmers get more air exposure on the top of the toes, and in my experience, work better.
Yaktrax are the best for boots. They don't rely on being exposed to air unlike the other brands so they continue to stay warm for hours. For my hands, I use the Zippo rechargeable handwarmer that's like a big bean inside of a waist pack in front of me or in the pouch of a hoodie.
I run a hand muff that has holders built in for these. Keeps my hands toasty and dont have to worry about gloves. The foot warmers have never worked for me, I'm not sure if they dont get enough air and stop working but I've resorted to slip on boot muffs.
The slip on boot insulators are also fantastic as you already know. I have heard from others that sometimes the feet warmers dont get hot. It probably has to do with the boot type and like you said not getting enough air.
Great tips, got one more for you. I use the 18-hour warmers. I taped them to the top of my foot using self-adhesive 1 inch tape, easy to remove. I throw the warmers ,still good, in my boots at the end of the day to dry my boots for the coming day. This is made a huge difference.
I find that the tone warmers are more comfortable and work better when you put a cotton sock on, stick it to the top of your foot then put on a wool sock. Keeps the heat in and your not stepping on it.
@@BS.-.- agree ... i dont hunt ... but i stand in place for 8-10 hours days in the cold 5-6 days a week.... i started putting them on the top of sock.... with diaper pins... until i started using basic double sided 3m tape... boom... on dress socks... leaving more airspace inside the boot... and they work fantastic...
Jason, have you ever found a battery operated heater for cars or trucks (not propane) for either overnight or early morning sleep sessions prior to hunting. That would be a great podcast. I’ve searched all over and haven’t found any. Better than running the truck for hours. Peace!
Sunny Mcfall I have seen that. I just don’t want my truck battery to be put at risk of draining... especially for overnight truck sleeping. I may get a battery jump starter with lighter plug capabilities if I can’t find a battery operated heater.
Ill be going to Alaska next month (California girl) i am soo scared lol for the cold been looking into this.. so for warming body up i can use a small one? I was honestly looking into the body ones the bigger the better i want to enjoy my outdoor activities 🥺
@@SamkoTradBow omg thank you for the quick reply!!!! Will do!!! Your video was such great help now i have a bigger idea on how to use them.. so if i place one in the front of my body, will it warm up all my upper body or just where it was placed? Sorry lol im new to all this lol
@@adrianarivera4194 they will warm the immediate area. Thats why I like the stick on warmers best even toe warmers stuck to yoy shirt in places you are cold will make a huge difference. If it was me I would buy a bunch of toe warmers, few pocket hand warmers and a few stick on patch warmers
I think it all has to do with the amount of air flow the toe warmers get. I have never had a problem with them on a mid layer but I also wear a wind resistant jacket and wind resistant vest. Never had them get hot enough to burn me or even close. But I did once drop a toe warmer I was going to put on when in stand and when I got down I picked it up and it was ballooned out and pretty hot. So I bet if they get alot of air flow they probably go into hyper drive and really heat up.
Can someone tell me how to turn them off? It says they can lasts for many hours, what If I don't need that much? How am I supposed to torn them off and throw it away?
You can put them in a zip lock bag to seal off the air supply and this with turn them off and let you use them again later. They last about 5-8 hours total. They don't get hot enough to burn anything so if you want to throw thwm out at anytime you can. But the zip lock bag is best way to stop them and beagle to re use them.
not sure. could be expired. But if i remeber correctly (been a while since I used any chemical warmers) the toe ones take longer to heat up do to lack of air flow.
Throw it out. They are disposable. Or if you seal it in a zip lock bag usually it will turn odd and can be used again for a short time when you open the bag.
Your not the 1 st. Person to reccomend. The Baffin Titian boot. My feet always get cold. Are these ur go to in cold weather?? Do ur feet sweat. A lot with these on walking long distance
I wear the titans about 3 to 4 times a year. They are my extreme cold weather boots. I wear them when temps are in the single digits or below. Never get cold with them. They are are great boot you can still climb sticks in and functional unlike some of the other extreme boots. But that said if you are walking a mile in them you are probably gonna get sweaty feet unless you take your thick socks off until you get to stand. I walk to my stand in regular cotton socks and then when I get there pull boot off and let foot air for a second and then put on thick sock. Everyone's chemical make up and circulation is different. My feet dont sweat alot. My buddy Joe on the other hand sweats like crazy. When he wears the titans he takes the liners out for any distance farther than 400 or 500 yards and puts them back in once hes up on stand. Hope that gives some ideas.
Thanks for the tips. Great ideas! I’m taking my family skiing and I want them to be comfortable so they will come again.
So really appreciated.
These are great for skiing. Thats actually where I first learned about them so many years ago, On a skiing trip!
When I do wear gloves I like to put them on the back of my hands. Doesn't affect dexterity and blood vessels in back of hands carry heat to fingers better.
I imagine that works great as well. they also make gloves that have pockets on the back to put handwarmers in. Thanks for the tip!
Very informative video. I, like yourself, do not like wearing gloves and I’ve been using the handwarmers in my pockets for a number of years. Thank you for sharing the other uses as well.
A hand warmer muff with a chem hand warmer in it is also a fantastic combo.
I don’t throw these words around very often but you sir are a hunting genius
You’re very practical use only good quality items but are also frugal when purchasing items

Yep great tip! I do the same. Makes a huge difference even better than the kidney packs.

Amazing what you can do with these things!
Thank you for this video :) I was looking for something to warm my hands during my chemo infusion... I will give this a try!!
OMG! My wife keeps telling me to take them before I went hunting the first time. I replied that these are for city people to get warm ;)
There you are recommending them. They are even cheaper in Japan.

They work excellent and will make your time waiting that much better.

Yep agree 100% works like a champ!
Good ideas. I need to take more of these with me to the field.
Nothing you cant survive if you have chemical warmers and hot chocolate!!!!!

We used to put a light bulb between 4 bricks and set chicken water bowl on top of it. The light bulb would keep the water from freezing
@@SamkoTradBow Where these cats live there is no access to electricity!

@@SamkoTradBow cool, just bought some 18 hours ones using your link.
@@autopeep24 thank you for using the links. Greatly appreciated.
Do you like the yaktrax brand? They only sell these at dunhams and can't find the other brand in store.
Yep they work good too! Have used both many rimes
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the video Jason. Love it.
Thanks

Yep thst works great too. But when you step on them its warmer. When I run them on top I have to keep pressing my toes up to feel the heat.
That's what the over sock does, keep the heat in.

Welcome
I got camo ones at Walmart that burned 12 hours easy I started at 630 am hunted all day came home at dark around 5 an they were still hot not warm hot
😱😱🥺 i need those lol
Ill be going to Alaska next month (California girl) i am soo scared lol for the cold been looking into this.. so for warming body up i can use a small one? I was honestly looking into the body ones the bigger the better i want to enjoy my outdoor activities 🥺
All the chem warmers work well. Would be a good idea to have a variety of thwm with you on the Alaska trip.

Be careful with the toe warmers and adhesives when sticking on to mid layers they do get hot and they can burn I know first hand from experience

Why doesn't my toe warned heat at all?
I've had them on twelve minute with zero heat radiation.
Yes I did follow directions.
Nothing...🥺
not sure. could be expired. But if i remeber correctly (been a while since I used any chemical warmers) the toe ones take longer to heat up do to lack of air flow.
What do I do if I don't use it and it is hot and full of air 2:35

Traditional Bowhunting And Wilderness Podcast thankyou
i cant trust someone who says these dont stay hot at the 10 hour mark.... simply not true
They don't for me

This video was rambling nonsence
Thanks
