Handy Little Item

[Third From Texas]

We used these back in the 80's when surfing/windsurfing/snow skiing.

I gave my last one away to some locals in Durango after a trip decades ago and never could find them again. I looked for them back in 2000 when I was doing some cross-country rides on the Harley. And again in 2015 when I went to ride Scotland. Never could find the damned things.

Well I finally ran across them on Amazon and they work just as I remembered.

Super handy for first aid kits, bugout bags, just being outside in the cold, etc.

For those not familiar, the pouch contains a super concentrated sodium acetate solution with small ferrous metal coin inside. When in liquid state, you snap the coin and it sets off a chemical reaction that solidifies the solution, and generating heat in the process. They retain heat about 30 minutes to an hour depending on ambient conditions. Once they cool, they turn into a solid, salt-like consistence. You drop the pouches into hot water for abut 10 minutes to re-liquefy and once they cool they remain in liquid form ready to stow for use again.


Great stocking stuffers for any outdoor types.

I have a whole pack of different sizes of those some little square ones some the shape of your hand some of the superview of your foot some that go over your shoulders and long skinny ones...
But not nearly as nice as the kind Chucky was mentioning!

Been there, done that.

I never fully understood why some chicks would be with guys 30 years older than them.

Daddy issues keep bikers young.....

January road trip thru the Texas Hill Country back in '09. Riding season? Friggin' posers have "riding seasons".

That's cool.

I just thrilled to have found these again. Hadn't seen them since the 80"s. They are super handy to have around in the winter.

Neat, didn't know those existed. Have just used disposable ones, or more recently, some USB heated gloves/vest.
