Top crowd reviews mentioning Camping Hand Warmers:
If I'm not mistaken it's the same reaction as these reusable heat packs you can get.
This is a lot cheaper. It doesn't do exactly the same thing but you can refill it very quickly and will last for decades.
Helped a lot of homeless out and someone in this sub survived winters due to them.
If you're concerned for waste, I really enjoy clickheat I use these for hiking. You boil them and then they be reused again. They last around 30ish minutes once they are clicked.
Can't play with cold hands purchased this and couldn't be happier.
Hot hands are absolutely garbage. Yeah, they're a game changer. Zippo makes one but I bought the one I linked below.
Use a wheat pack heat pad, just heat in microwave.
You can also get resettable heat packs with a metal disc in them you click then boil them to reset. Here is a sample of the resettable ones.
Just FYI, there are reusable ones that are much better for sustainability and work just as well :)

Hey, not trying to be awkward, but daddit here. Just like soreness anywhere else, ice and heat can help!
When my wife was in her first trimester, her nipples were in a ton of pain, but these Hot Hands hand warmers seemed to really help her. Shake them up to warm them up then stick them in the bra to hold them on. These don't get too hot, but they certainly provide relief. I looked around a lot and didn't see anything that suggested these were unsafe on the nipples either. We may have even asked her OB to be sure.
When she started breastfeeding (baby is 13 days old now!) the boobs got sore, so I got her these ice packs, which we started calling "snowflakes." She loved those too, and it couldn't hurt to pick them up early!
Note - I bought neither of these on Amazon. I think I actually got them at Wal-Mart but I'm sure they'll be on sale in a ton of places. Hot Hands during the summer may be with sporting goods or camping equipment.
Have you given any consideration to perhaps using HotHands pads to provide warmth. I've used them plenty of times for warmth and they last for 10-12 hours. Just be sure to put a layer between the HotHands and bedding you'll be using. They work great and there's no chance of fire. I attached a link from Amazon for the ones I would use. You're an amazing person for doing this and I hope you're rewarded for your good deeds!
You're probably going to be more sensitive to the cold than the average Mainer, so I'd recommend layering. You'll want sweater/sweatshirts, long-sleeved shirts, a lighter coat, a heavier winter coat (think a down-type coat), as well as gloves, scarves, and hats. Hats are something that a lot of people skip but they don't realize how much warmer you are wearing one.
Also, you want good waterproof winter boots. Wool socks will probably be a good investment too. Having cold or wet feet during the winter is the WORST.
To save money, you can find all that kind of stuff at the Goodwill or Salvation Army. Buying all of it new gets really expensive and you can find good quality stuff at thrift stores.
Also, I recommend keeping some of these on hand (lol puns): https://www.amazon.com/HotHands-Hand-Warmers-Odorless-Activated/dp/B0007ZF4OA. They're little packets that warm up and stay warm for a long time. I keep them in my pockets and shove my hands in there when they get really cold.
Anyone know if you're allowed to bring zippo handwarmers into the stadium? (Link here)
I know you can't bring the battery ones in, but wasn't sure about this. I'd hate to have to toss it at the gate...
Buy these or ones like them & hand them out like candy.
A nice warm hat, a roll of medical tape, box o' granola bars, warm socks, maybe some hand warmers
I have many different kinds of hand warmers for the same reason. My preference is for this kind
I live in Canada and have struggled with this every winter of my damn life lol. For what it’s worth, the best solution I’ve found is to buy big boxes of these hand warmers (https://www.amazon.com/HotHands-Hand-Warmers-Odorless-Activated/dp/B0007ZF4OA) at costco, and tuck one in each glove on the inside of my wrist. It makes a huge difference and does keep my fingers warm. I also often tuck one in my boots on the inside of my ankle when it’s super cold and my toes stay warm. It’s wasteful however, since the warmers are disposable. If someone has a better solution for actual heated gloves that work as well I also want to know!
They are actually not that expensive. I've found some on Amazon. Check out this link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PGBN11S/ref=mp_s_a_1_18?crid=2QWACQ4SQUOT8&keywords=hand+warmers+rechargeable&qid=1669323286&sprefix=hand+warme%2Caps%2C219&sr=8-18
These aren't rechargable but I've seen plenty rechargable ones on Amazon. Hopefully you'll find the perfect ones :)
Wool fingerless gloves
Hand muff
Inside the muff get a rechargable handwarmer
I end up having to keep it turned off most of the time because my hands get too hot
Everyone else here has mentioned sleep pads and layers. In addition I would recommend picking up a box of heating pads that you can stuff in gloves, boots, sleeping bags, etc. They are cheap heat that will take the chill off while you're outside all day and night. They really help keeping the extremities warm. Also take a water bottle and before you go to bed, boil some water, put it in the bottle and stick it in your sleeping back with you. It will radiate heat and keep you warm. Don't underestimate a good face covering like a ski mask even just for sleeping.
While not trying to excuse that behavior, because thinking social conformity is more important than your physical comfort is wrong, what kind of jacket do you wear?
If your jacket it's bulky, brightly colored, or otherwise very noticeable you may do well to get a more subtle option. Blending into the heard can be a valuable stratedgy.
My wife is a huge fan of her heated vest as well. If you already deal with poor circulation with hEDS, this can help and is less intrusive than a normal jacket. It actually adds heat to you instead of relying on your body heat.
They also make heat packets you may find useful.. There are also disposable ones.
For point number 4 on disposable hand warmers, have you tried Hot Hands? https://www.amazon.com/HotHands-Hand-Warmers-Odorless-Activated/dp/B0007ZF4OA/
They genuinely last for 10hrs+ and don't generate any moisture by using some sort of Iron dust rusting mechanism. We put them on the inner palm side of the gloves so it heats the blood heading out towards the fingers. I stopped needing to use them after buying Sabot Heat elec gloves for $69 on Amazon which give me many hrs of heat with finger dexterity but admittedly I havnt tried them in extreme minus temperatures it looks like you have in your pictures.
$28 for 40 packs... twenty pairs. Oxygen activated heat packs. Put them between your jacket and your shirt. When they are done, they are disposable.
I've done a lot of location in Alaska, and handwarmers for sure.
The secret to staying warm is not getting cold. : )
Once you are cold, life becomes hard.
Consider the small disposables like <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007ZF4OA?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder-t1_ypp_rep_k0_1_23&amp=&crid=5DEMOQZ7KCQF&amp=&sprefix=disposable+hand+warmers>
These are small enough to place at the arch of the feet, between the sock and the shoe bed, another pair in the palms of the hands, between (fingerless) glove liner and glove shell. Another pair can go at kidney level on back, held with ace bandage.
These disposables are air activated, between uses, store them in ziplocks and squeeze the air out....I've used the same pair for weeks this way.
.
This is a potentally dangerous situation.
Consider appointing someone to keep an eye on those who must focus intensley on their work.
.
All the best, stay warm out there!

I've had this one in my Amazon cart for a while. Seemed to be a good pick when I was looking into them a while back.
I'm a delivery skipper who seems to have built a reputation for cold weather deliveries. *sigh*
I wear ski gloves with straps, so if I pull a glove off when I need dexterity the glove stays attached to me. There are lots of choices. I also have two sets of glove liners - one of silk and one of polypropylene.
I have two butane catalytic hand warmers (mine are silver). These are magic. I wear Damart long underwear which are a little hard to get in the US. These are what Chicago motorcycle police wear in the winter. The socks I wear are no longer available; shop hard for socks. Warm feet make your hands not so cold. Good boots. Go for layers but don't let clothing get too tight. You want to be able to move and you want air (insulation) between layers.
Absolute best thing you can do is get a forced air diesel heater. Keeping the cabin warm makes a huge difference in how long you can stand watch in cold weather.
They also have some you can put in your shoes.
Ah you’re in the same boat as one of my friends! She’s from South Asia and hasn’t experienced the cold yet. Here’s some of the tips I can give you with dressing warm and comfortable.
Thermal leggings under your pants! (Not sure what your gender is but we all get cold so don’t let the word “leggings” scare you off- extra points if there’s fleece inside)
hot hands from Canadian tire or Amazon! (If you’re going to be outside for an extended period of time I recommend sticking these bad boys in your pocket)
water resistant footwear. (Snow melts when you bring your shoes inside, slush is everywhere during random points, always wear resistant footwear because you’ll have wet shoes otherwise)
I’ll try to update this later if I think of anything
Just get some disposable warmers. They last hours, and unless you are in first class there's no guarantee they'll be able to provide you with hot water enough. https://www.amazon.com/HotHands-Body-Hand-Super-Warmers/dp/B0007ZF4Q8/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=xl+Hand+Warmers+%26+Foot+Warmers&qid=1664122147&s=outdoor-recreation&sr=1-7
I'm in Ohio and we've prepped for the power going off during cold weather.
We bought a stash of mylar emergency blankets and HotHands.
Look at camping/hunting gear for cold climates. Gloves/mittens, wool socks, thermal underwear. We haven't bought them yet but we're considering buying some sleeping bags. We bought a couple small camping stoves in case we want to cook, one uses wood the other fuel cubes
If you have municipal water you need to let your faucets drip lest your pipes freeze. Don't believe anyone who tells you this doesn't work. I worked in multifamily housing for over 20 years. Due to a design flaw in our buildings the pipes would freeze and burst once the temperature dropped below 10. We had to constantly badger our residents to let the faucets trickle and not turn off their heat if they were going out of town. Buy some RV antifreeze to add to your toilet.
We bought a small solar generator whe are going to use to charge kindles, phones and emergency lights.
We rent so we can't use a fuel generator. It would also be a violation of our lease to have propane or the like in our home. As far as cooking goes, I have a gas range I'm told will work if I light the burner with a match. I plan to eat mostly sandwiches, crackers and cheese if the power is off.
If you can try to keep everyone in a single room. Close the doors to room you aren't using. Keep bathroom doors open to help keep the pipes warm. Block the bottom of the doors with blankets or towels to keep you heat from escaping. Put blankets or towels on your window sills too. It's common up here for people to put plastic over their windows once the temperature drops. They sell kits for it here but you can also use the rolls of plastic painters use for drop cloths.
Pair a sack with a hand warmer like these. If you can afford it, grab a travel cage that you can attach a water feed to and squeeze in a place for food and litter.
