Which is a good thing if yours don't heat up well like the batch I got. But also, be careful because it can really get very hot and might burn you. I wouldn't keep it enclosed in a pocket for too long without checking on it from time to time.

Thanks for that tip. Snuggling has got to be the best idea yet!! If not with a person, then with a pet. ;-) Interesting about holding urine. Thanks for that tip.

I TOTALLY TOLERATE THEM! Yahoo! What a blessing. I could sleep with them in my hands. The only issue...is the batch I got does not get that warm. Total bummer. But a little warmth is better than no warmth. I'm just so excited that I tolerate them. Luckily the power only went out once this winter so I didn't need to rely on them for heat. It's nice to know I can use them if I need to, though. Just realized I never reported back about the HeatMax hand warmers. I TOTALLY TOLERATE THEM! Yahoo! What a blessing.

My house is still a gas heat, gas hot water house. I have an AllerAir purifier next to the gas burner and it is also vented to the outside. The vent is next to the burner. I have never smelled gas in the cellar. I wear a charcoal mask when I go there. I replaced my gas stove with an electric one last year. My house is still a gas heat, gas hot water house.

The temps have been in the teens here in the NW and gratefully, the Radiant Electric Heater is doing the job of keeping our vardo toasty. The hot water bottles is a thing we'll try. Hot stones really are wonderful too. I have a special heart-shaped stone that I heat up (in water over low heat). It seems to ground me as well as warm me when my body has been chilled, exposed and frittered away. Hugs and warm wishes, Mokihana Thanks for the great post for heating options.
