How to Keep Hands Warm in Cold Weather

- In this video, house flipping brothers Dave and Rich show you how to keep your hands warm in cold weather.
Dave and Rich need to work outside on a regular basis when renovating houses. They have figured out a great way to keep warm when working outside in the Winter, which is a two step process.
The first step is to wear layered clothing. It is a good idea to wear two layers of socks, two pairs of pants, or long underwear and pants. In this video, Rich wears 4 layers of clothing on his torso. He wears a t-shirt, warm shirt, hooded sweatshirt, and very warm Army jacket over everything.
In addition, Rich wears two layers on his head. He has a very warm wool hat that covers his jaw and sides of his head. Over that he pulls his hooded sweatshirt.
The second tip for surviving harsh outside conditions is dealing with hands. In this video Rich wears 2 layers of gloves. He has a very thin set of gloves, but over those he is wearing a very thick set of gloves.
The tip is that no matter how many gloves you wear, over time your fingers will go numb in extreme cold conditions if they are in gloves because the fingers are separated. So the trick is to get your fingers together, just like they would be in a mitten.
Keep your gloves on, but simply pull your fingers out of the finger part of your gloves and make a fist. Then move your fingers towards your palm, like you a tapping a on desk. Do this for about 30 seconds. The warmth generated from this motion will bring the blood circulation back into your hands and your fingers will be completely warmed.
Your fingers will be warmed for a period of time, but if it is extremely cold, you will have to repeat this process over and over again, depending on how long you are outside.
Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot for the little trick of moving you fingers. I have found it really difficult to keep the hands warm in this freezing winter in Canada... Keep up the Good Work!
Hi Nimz Diaries, it's all about layered clothing, including a couple of layers of good gloves. Thanks for commenting and hope you stay warm this winter!
Pro quebec tip we got many -40 •c here and this will suprise you: dunk your hands in the snow and “wash your hands” with it at first you’ll get that thermal shock and after that your hand will get scorching hot
“””Dont do it if you are getting a frostbite”””
No need to wear four layers of clothing if u can get yourself a two piece compression suit to wear under your clothes to maintain your body heat. I've learned this military science trick when I go hunting in Minnesota up north past Fergus Fall or Bemidji
Hey Will,
Interesting!
Thx for watching!
Thanks a lot sir. It did help me with reducing the severe coldness in my hands, in Canada's wild freezing weather, for real.
Hi Bob, awesome, very glad you are finding this useful. Thanks for the comment and we hope you stay warm!
@@HousebaronsThank you!
Does this works in 2019?
Yup, it will work as long as people have hands.
Nuh, it got patched with the new update that god released
@@Housebarons how about 2022?
😂@@halo3elite508
@coolestchristilolann
Finger wiggling works great watching in 2022
It totally worked.thanks mate
Hey Nta,
Glad to hear it! Thx for watching.
Good advice...... I mean thanks for sharing your experience
Hi John, certainly, hope the video was helpful. It is 88 degrees today where we are in Indiana. Where are you located that you are watching a video about cold weather today?
@@Housebarons it's the Lake effect. Born Cleavand living SF CA. But I still own a gun and have go bag.
Number one rule and my experience and us were in the Marines as carbs. Eat carbs. Give your body the chance to burn calories which will help induce heat in your body. Then trap it with lots of loose layers. Make sure those socks that are doubled up in your boots are not tight which would restrict circulation so you want to wear a larger boots in the winter. My suggestion for us with rare syndrome in our fingertips is to buy compression arm sleeves and bring them up to the palm and you can put a heat packet on the top of your hand and it will stay in place. This also isolates heat loss between your glove and your sleeve cuff. So you're heating up the blood that's flowing into your fingertips.
Hey Dan,
Great input! Thx for taking the time and for watching!
Hi. I am a guy who used to live in Puerto Rico. I have moved to Connecticut to work. Right now the cold is hell. In Wyndham the weather is from 1 to 5 farenheit or below. My hand has suffered very much because I am a skinny guy. When I am outdoors I don't have too much time for my hand have the started to hurt a lot with the use of gloves. So thank you for the recommendation of how to stay warm.
Hi Carlos, thanks so much for your comment! Some people are telling us that this technique doesn't work, but it is minus 2 degrees here right now, and we are using the exact method that we talk about to keep our hands from freezing. It is all about having good insulated gloves that are large enough so you can move your fingers around. Also, people need to start the technique as soon as they feel cold fingers, not wait until they are frozen. In addition, your fingers need to be moving around for quite a while, maybe two minutes, so the blood can flow and the hands will be warm. Good luck to you in chilly Connecticut!!!
@@Housebarons garlic dilates your arteries and veins. I'm a skinny guy and it works. I take the pill form. More blood flow
Thanks for this tip it helped a LOT, my full hand including finger tips are warmer :D
Hey rida,
Thx for watching!
Oh man lucky! We've had anywhere from -29c° to -42c° with windchill. Gotta love the Canadian weather!
Hi Griff, oh wow! That is pretty chilly, hope you stay warm this winter!
i am here in -31 degrees thank you so much im happy my hands are warm my feet are still cold but whoah you helped alot!
i used to put my gloves in my jacket pockets then put my hands there
Hey Glitch,
Wow! Where in the world is it that cold? Yikes!
Thx for watching!
This is amazing! looking forward to trying the hand movement technique
Hey Mars…,
Awesome! Thx for watching!
Dear MarsCompany: I'm sure you've done that before. I've played air piano with the dexterity of Franz Lizst while pounding the pavement with long-distance running -- only to warm the imagination of my ears.
@@eddyvideostar xD, never played Piano but I dance to the music I'm listening to all the time
@@Marscompany: The point is: moving the fingers rapidly may not be sufficient in prolonged cold weather. My comment was just a poetic way of indicating this.
Thank you
Hi Lea, certainly, hope this video helps!
neat finger trick
Hey Dilraj,
Thx for watching.
I have the hardest time working in gloves, I've always been that way even in the summer time I can't stand them. I've wondered if putting on some vinyl gloves under the other gloves (since the vinyl will cause you to sweat) wouldn't help or maybe some mittens over other gloves.
It all depends how much dexterity one needs.
If not much (snowblowing, shoveling, or really wet applications) I like tight fitting wool liners with vinyl or PVC coated outer gloves. Also, I got a pair of military surplus cold weather trigger mittens - wool inner with synthetic and leather outer gauntlets. I have to take these off because I get too warm sometimes!
Some tradesmen will use wool liners (don't use cotton!) and then thin latex gloves, covered by regular work glove outer layers. I haven't tried this but I'm told that allows for a little more dexterity.
Also, if you have warm socks that get holes in the heels, cut off the foot and use the calf areas as wrist/arm gaiters. This is also great for kids to keep snow off their wrists. These are especially good with functional stretchy cuffs at the wrist.
Wisconsin born & bred. I'm familiar with cold but I know my cold is nothing compared to Canada cold! 👍
Take care out there!
Hey Jonny,
Thx for the great comment!
@@Housebarons Thank you for the video and the compliment.
It's just the result of years of experimenting with all sorts of bad combinations resulting in cold, wet hands!
I wish I could remember where I saw it, but somewhere a comment said: "I have a doctorate from MIT - mistakes I've tried". 👍
does this work in 2018
+ariana grande love you Hi Ariana, yes, this does work in 2018 and it will work any day in the future!
I think it was a joke
what about 2019@@Housebarons
I’d didn’t work 2020🥶🥶
it’s a no for me its 2021
2019 was colder.. i couldnt even stay out long.. but whenever i beat the cold i always feel like i win against the cold lol
Hello Hello Dude, you can always beat the cold by dressing in layers and being prepared for the cold weather. Stay warm and thanks for the comment!
I noticed the "feel like i win against the cold" well i meant to say is "feel like i can never get cold" just correcting
@@Housebarons my pleasure! 😊
Stay warm
Thanks
+johnthecarlord Hi Jonthecarlord, certainly, we hope this helps!
I annually do the fist in gloves thing already. Didn't know it was a thing!
Lmao same but I need my fingers to make an igloo
@@conasia: Selassie: Bless.
Thx man Texas is at 12° (feels like 1°) right now hopefully I stay warm
Hey Dominick,
Yeah, I saw the forecast - you all must be freaking out - not normal weather for you all ??!!.
Thx for watching. Send us some warmer weather when you get some 😃
Im in Texas too lol i feel it
@@Housebarons yeah cold for us is about 60-55
Lol! I feel your pain! At least you have hope that in a week or two you’ll get relief. We are stuck with a couple more months of cold. Ahhh!
what drives me insane is that i have tried 3 pairs of winter gloves and my fingertips always freeze. bad gloves ?
Hi Pah Tryk, yes, we would conclude that you need to purchase better gloves. Get quality insulated gloves that are just a bit larger than your hand. That way you will be able to use the technique demonstrated in this video where you draw your fingers down to the palm of your hand and move them around until they are warm. Good luck!
@@Housebarons I'll tell you my Columbia with the silver thermal lining are trash. Same with the new Costco ones. Time to upgrade or get large mittens to go over them ;-)
Look for multilayered THINSULATE, & try to avoid seams at fingertips.
Help me alot
Hey Scrub,
Thx for watching!
I live I washington and it’s barely cold here and I still wear 3 layers
Hi Morgan, layering is definitely the way to stay warm in the winter. It is supposed to get to 10 below in our area next week, so we will be grabbing a couple of extra layers of clothing. Thanks for comment!
I came here from thw video game called Survival School. Its this open world survival game and it is a simulation game. So out of an curiosity I came here because of this. Also NYC is so cold today I came to a the roof to test out my poncho and tea light shelter to create warrmth.
Hello Makoto, thanks for your thoughts, hope you stay warm!
@@Housebarons Im trying to stay warm becuase my FUCKING STUPID PARENTS WONT LET ME GO OUTSIDE
😊
I work in a poultry plant and my fingers freeze where they get numb, I'm going to try this but the thing is we are constantly packing the chicken into boxes. I hope I find the time to do this
I feel your pain, my fingers also freeze when they go numb..very easily. I work in a carrot factory, washing and packing carrots in freezing water for hours at a time. Temperature this time a year is unforgiving.
To Bonita: This is what numbing is -- freezing fingers.
@@eddyvideostar lol I got another job where my fingers don't freeze and then get numb 😁
@@bonitalawrence8436: Well done: Just a sidebar: Before the internet, it was Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, with *Bill Gates being the great healer.* It's probably those complaining and taking sick leave, are the same ones spending their lunch and break time -- and sometimes company time --healthfully pounding those keys with erstwhile slashable wrists!
Does this still work in 2020
Especially in 2020
It was patched in the 2019 update
I think it was patched
To Mark Meyer: Why 2020?
My hand always freezes . I just quit track cuz I can't deal with the cold
Dear Vic Young: The irony: It seems as if track and distance would be *the* thing to help, doesn't seem to always work.
I've played air piano with the dexterity of Franz Lizst -- whilst pounding the pavement with long-distance running -- only to warm the imagination of my ears -- and the cockles of my heart.
My fingertips...numb
2019 anyone
I'll make a vid :D
2021
Yeah
a better idea is to get an air activated heat packs from a sporting goods store and to put them in your gloves. prevention of the cold is the key. You can also put the heat activated packs in between two pairs of socks before putting boots on. Wool socks are a great insulater against the cold. You can find the heat packs in a sporting goods section of the store. The ones that I am talking about are for hands and feet called hot hands.
Hi J T, heat packs are an alternate option, but our method is always with a person as long as they have gloves,
offers unlimited renewal, and is absolutely 100% free!!!!
Extreme House Flipping unfortunately for me I went yaking in 20 degrees and I had on super thick neoprene gloves and eventually my hands and feet were burning from the cold. So for me personally, I will be using my air activated heat packs next time, and hope to yak above 30 degrees. I have also camped in the winter, and those heat packs are a life saver. To each his own though 👍
What's a good price for shoveling a driveway
Hi Edwin, it all depends on what you think is a good wage. Shoveling snow is hard work and usually done during adverse weather conditions. So you should earn more shoveling than doing some other labor intensive job. Let's say you would like to earn $40 per hour shoveling. Then you just have to estimate how long each driveway will take you to finish. So maybe you can shovel a small driveway in a half hour. Then charge $20. There is a reason people will pay for someone to shovel -- because they don't want to and they know it is difficult. Be sure to charge enough for this to be worth your time and effort. Good luck!
As we get older our veins and arteries are not as healthy as they once was. And we get cold easier. I have read that vitamin d approximately 40, 000 IU a day will help us old guys combat the cold. Garlic opens up your arteries and veins to allow more blood flow. More blood flow the warmer you are.
Hey Bill,
Interesting. So you are saying - just don’t get old and that will fix it! 😁
Thx for your input and tips. Very helpful!
Thx for watching!
Sorry guys, this got patched it the new 2021.3 update
The hand trick didn't work for me
Also what about the legs when they get too cold ?
Hi Krishna, the hand warming technique should work every time. It does require well insulated gloves. Also it may not work immediately, but if you keep moving your fingers inside your glove, they should warm up. For legs it is a matter of wearing more than one layer, such as long underwear or sweatpants under pants. Also, moving around usually keeps the blood flowing. Hope this helps.
could move to South Carolina, myrtle beach, nice weather low property taxes
Hugo 1989, Bonnie 1998, Charley 2004, Joaquin 2015, Matther 2016, Irma 2017...we will take cold weather over hurricanes any day!
@@Housebarons Hahaha, no wonder there are low property taxes... nobody wants to move there!
Actually we have the threat of tornadoes several times a year. It is 2 degrees below zero today and South Carolina is sounding better and better!
I been working in a freezer snd and I put cayenne pepper 🌶️ on my finger tips
Hey Spida..,
I’ll bite - Does it work ?- never heard that before! Guess anything is worth a try!
Thx for watching!
Does this still work? Or is it patched?
This does still work and will continue to work as long as people have hands.
HouseBarons 😂😂😂
My work is to deliver food on a bike, on winter my job is the worst as the temperature goes below zero no gloves nor tricks can save the fingers :(
+Nathnael Tewelde Hi Nathnael, perhaps you could hold your bike handlebars with one hand and warm up your other hand with the method described in this video, then switch hands to warm up the other one, and keep repeating this process. Hope this helps!
Extreme House Flipping Wow thanks!!
you want a merino wool glove liner, stick some 100% wool gloves on top of those, then stick some waterproof-windproof mittens on top of those and maybe glue some rubber on the inside for gripping your break. if its a motorbike you could try the mittens with a trigger finger so you can still press buttons and stuff. take the mittens off when you need the dexterity.
if mittens are completely nonviable for you, do the same thing but replace the mittens with a fingered glove that fits the same criteria.
I do bike deliveries in NYC and the winters are pretty brutal, I wear fire Tex snowboard gloves, works pretty well. Since nyc doesn’t often get temperatures below zero I’d say to also wear Wool liners under as someone said above
There has been so many snow days in 2021
Hi ExtinctFire059, I guess it just depends on where you live. We have only gotten a couple of snowfalls, but just a couple hundred miles away, people have gotten tons of snow. Good luck this winter!
I just started work in the freezer and the only part that really goes numb are my hands so il give this a try.....thanks
Hi Chris, this has always worked for us. Just make sure to try this method before your hand is completely numb, and it might take a while to work effectively. Thanks for your comment and good luck with your job!
@@Housebarons I did give this a go and it does help so thanks for the info. I hope your having a good day where you are. Its sunny and warm here in Gold Coast AUSTRALIA
Hey Chris,
Thx for letting us know where you are commenting from!! It adds a more personal touch and it is much appreciated! Never been to Australia ... yet - at least! Enjoy the warm! We are saying good-bye to the warm weather as fall approaches here in the mid-west USA.
Yeah all good. Today I'm in the freezer so no sunny weather for me
Thin wool gloves inside waterproof mittens with a heat pack between inside glove and outer mitten.
+K. Moran Hi K. Moran, your method sounds ideal to keep hands warm, we were trying to provide a way for people to warm hands if they don't have access to heat packs. Thanks for your comment.

Are you able to use you hands if you do this?
i wish my country had that much snow
Hello to The Fascist Nut,
Snow is fun when it first arrives, but after a couple of days, most people can't wait for warmer weather. Thanks for your comment!
Extreme House Flipping where is this video?
looks like finland or north america
Hello, we are renovating homes in The United States, in Indiana. Where are you from?
Extreme House Flipping netherlands
last year we had only one day where it snowed crazy
6cm or 4 inches of snow in the ground
the schools were down for the whole day
the rest of winter was less than nothing
Does this work in 2021?
Better than ever!
No: Too modern: Use a hand warmer device.
Akin to using the payphone when Apple will always be available.
*DOES IT WORKS IN 2069*
If people have hands and gloves 2069 it will work
Bro u still check your comment after so many years hats off bro
(From the future) will this work in 2022
Hi Ramirez the Gamer, HouseBarons from the present say this will work well past 2022!
Good to know
I basically searched this up because my dad needed me out in the cold and my fingers got frost bites
it's cold in wash dc
Does this work in 2020?
Hi J8M3Z, this will work as long as people have hands.
What’s next a vid on how to wipe LOL
Almost scared to ask..2020 ???
Has it been patched In 2021 yet?
Patched and ready to go!
Another way is to get good gloves😂😂
Hey Zane,
Thx for watching!
Wow and I thought 40 F was "cold"
+j lw hi j lw, after working in temperatures between - 3 and 10 degrees for weeks, 40 F will seem like a warm tropical setting 😁Thanks for the comment!
LOL in parts of the year heat pumps don’t work where I come from, -27•C isn’t uncommon in Nova Scotia. today it was 3• in the morning and in the afternoon 15• cold hot cold hot, never stops.
j lw stupid
@@Housebarons: I'd say: I could even wear short shorts to warm the souls of cold women.
ummm they patched this glitch
To Travis Ewing: Use a hand warmer device.
Akin to using the payphone when Apple will always be available.
I think everybody knows that lol
Thx for watching!
Will you reply me?
Please 🥺
2222 any one
We won't make it and will have nothing to worry about.
Unless we make the rapture! However, the proverbial brighter light or path will glare garishly while blinding the correct path to redress COVID derivatives.
If your hands and feet are cold use hot water:)
Hi The Fancy Tea Cup, once you are in for the day, you could use warm water for your hands and feet, but we have read that hot water is not recommended because you might not realize how hot it is, which could result in burns. Thanks for your comment!
2019 anyone
