abentley Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 I live where it can be brutal cold for BF, and I am a wuss!! I love the "thermacare" wraps for my neck and shoulders all year, but they come in really handy for BF as well as the "hot hands" warmers that are out in stores right now for a lot less. A pack of 4 for $1.97 and they last up to 10 hours. It makes the weather a lot easier to handle for me!!
cactusmom Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 I always grab a few of the hand warmers out of my hubbies hunting gear. I have been trying to figure out how to get some in my shoes Thanks for the hint on the one for neck and shoulders, I will try that this year.
mom395222 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Good idea! I have always used the hot hands, but discovered the one where you can put on the bottom of your back. We go to a lot of football games, so I got one for my back, and it really kept me warm :) May have to try the thermal wraps this year, they sound like they may be a bit cheaper than the hot hands.

Do you put the hand warmers inside your gloves?
abentley Posted October 2, 2006 Author Posted October 2, 2006 I actually use mittens so they work great for me. I am trying to talk my sons high school to sell hot chocolate and coffee too!! I don't want to be cold!!!

She said they work great!
Cecilliadb Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 We don't live where it gets cold anymore but used to. I hate when my toes get cold so I baught these socks you can put batteries in and they heat up lol.
rogue1230 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Awesome tip!!! I think I have coupons for them too! Defintiley getting them and as always the hand warmers!
shanni Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Do you find that once you get in the store and start peeling off the layers of clothes that they take up half your cart? I can't leave it all on when we are inside, I get so hot I feel like I'm going to die!
blakes_mommy Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 great idea, even though I am hoping for a warm one, yeah right!

Hey cactusmom if you wear those loose moon boots (not the really dorky ones LOL)for BF you can get the hand warmers in the toes of them. I did that last year with my boots and my toes where toasty warm!
BunniesBunniesBunnies! Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Where do you get the handwarmers? Dicks?

She said they work great!Scott - You are awesome. I'm getting these for my wife. She got frostbite on a couple of her toes when she was young and whenever we're out in the winter her feet start to really hurt from the cold.
sns128 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Where do you get the handwarmers? Dicks?You can find these at WM in the Sporting Goods department near the hunting stuff.
cherry33778 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 I have one tip...Move to florida. The coldest it gets at night in Nov is 50 degrees, and thats if there's a cold front. Typically its around 60. I even remember one Xmas where it was 80. That was great. :)
Turtle Mommy Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 I have one tip...Move to florida. The coldest it gets at night in Nov is 50 degrees, and thats if there's a cold front. Typically its around 60. I even remember one Xmas where it was 80. That was great. :)You bet me to it. My first experience with BF was when I was in Upstate NY and thought never again! I froze my butt off. Now living in Florida weather is not an issue so I started going again.

cherry33778 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Sure, all well and good, but I'd rather deal with the cold than the hurricanes... :)Well since I have been alive there hasn't been any hurricanes that hit Tampa Bay, now Miami is a different story...
Cecilliadb Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 I live where it's warm in the winter and it's depressing....I miss my snow, at least I get t go home for the holidays. I am gonna kiss the snow as soon as I see it LOL
marquisjoanne Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Last years experience was not too bad at all!! I made sure that I had some of the hand warmers (tons of it). I found out that it was actually better to put it underneath my feet in my shoes. It kept my feet warm all night. I'm gonna say that was the best thing I ever did ( I also brought some comforters with me).
AndreaInNC Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 You can also buy the footwarmers (like the ones for your hands) for your shoes .. they come with a little sticky strip to attach to the inside of your shoe ..
mom395222 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 You can also buy the footwarmers (like the ones for your hands) for your shoes .. they come with a little sticky strip to attach to the inside of your shoe ..I wore those once to a FB game, and my feet started burnin! I had to take my boots off and take them off...I tried to keep them on as long as I could, but I finally couldn't take it anymore LOL!
mom395222 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Oh geesh! After re-reading that post, and seeing where you are supposed to stick them to the inside of your shoe....I now know why my feet were burnin....I stuck them on the inside of my socks..whadda maroon I am:gdblush:

For shame woman!
Rebirth Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 I bet those football fans without clothes in the winter can outlast alot of people.
tchubb Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 You bet me to it. My first experience with BF was when I was in Upstate NY and thought never again! I froze my butt off. Now living in Florida weather is not an issue so I started going again. I couldn't agree more, I spent many years on BF in western PA and northern VA and last year was my first of many BF's in Florida! Last year we ordered frappacino's at Starbucks instead of coffee!
able Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 ive seen people with battery operated socks. i say under armour should do the trick!!!
xslicricx Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 I don't care what anyone says pitch a tent and put some chairs and blankets inside and you are good to go. No wind at all it's great!!!
starshine Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Oh geesh! After re-reading that post, and seeing where you are supposed to stick them to the inside of your shoe....I now know why my feet were burnin....I stuck them on the inside of my socks..whadda maroon I am:gdblush:LOL!!! To funny mom39. I have another hint for all you BF shopper that use the hand warmers in your shoes. Take them out right before the doors open or your feet will be burning from the friction my feet where on fire last year. And that was with them outside of my socks!!!!
heavenlysshine Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 I'm a BeautiControl consultant so if I'll be in line outside I'll most def. pack a few of the heated neckwraps like I use for hostess gifts! I live where it can be brutal cold for BF, and I am a wuss!! I love the "thermacare" wraps for my neck and shoulders all year, but they come in really handy for BF as well as the "hot hands" warmers that are out in stores right now for a lot less.
