I’m a survivalist living in a snowy climate & swear by a dollar store buy to keep warm – it’s essential & weighs nothing
A SURVIVALIST has shared a tip that could keep even urban dwellers cozy and warm this winter.
He lives in a snowy climate but he swears by a dollar store buy to keep warm.
It's an absolute essential, he figures, and weighs nothing.
Barefoot Bushcraft (@barefootbushcraft) is based at an outdoor education center in southern Ontario, Canada.
He is an expert when it comes to surviving the wilderness in extreme conditions.
But this hack isn't exclusive to ice holes in the Rockies.
It can be used by anyone living in suburbia, where winter conditions can get pretty hairy at times and heating bills even hairier.
In situations where you want to save on heating bills but don't want to freeze, these might help.
“This dollar store item may save your life," he said in his post, speaking to survivalists.
Benefits can be felt for urban dwellers too.
Whether you are a dog walker, a hiker, a runner, running an errand in your car, or sitting at home in the cold. you might want to consider these as part of your emergency kit.
This survival trainer strongly advocated hand warmers to be part of your outdoor gear as much as a hat and gloves are.
Once exposed to the air, hand warmers become toasty warm: “Open the pack, expose them to the air, and boom, you’re warm right away," he said.
“Ensure you put hand warmers in your bag," he said. But they could equally be put in your pocket, bag, or glove box.
They are a way of keeping warm, not just in an emergency.
“These are dollar store hand warmers. They’re $1.25. They weigh nothing, and they take up almost no space.
"Fold them up, put them in your bag, and keep yourself warm."
Everyone should consider having these handy: "These could save you or your loved one's life some day."
