[RC] Staying Warm - Anne McBeeI have a wool sweater that I bought at an Army/Navy surplus store. I bought it extra-extra big and then took it home washed it in hot water and essentially "felted" it. It is practically impervious to the element, including wind. In the summer I can wear it when it looks like rain...never really get wet inside it. In the winter I wear it over aturtel neck and under another loose jacket. When we got caught in a nasty cold wet rain this fall, that turned to snow before we got back the full 7 miles, I took one off the hand warmers (charcoal based), folded the hem of my sweater up inside of it self and then placed the warmer in the pocket back by my kidneys..be sure it's not next to your skin. I was soon very warm, hands and feet included. I think since our blood is constantly circulating thru our kidneys, placing the warmer there acted as a pre-warmer for the blood circulating throughout my body. I have done this several times now always with the same results... nice and warm... prior to finding this trick that works for me, I always had cold feet no matter what I had tried.
