Packable wood stove for heat

[orrey45]

Just thinking out of the box, and not based on direct experience, so ignore at will. How well would a bunch of the hand-warmer style hot packs last. Strategically placing two or three of these things in your bag might make a big difference. If they lasted about 4 hours then this could work as long as you kept another set handy for the inevitable switch over after you wake up cold and decide to go pee.

Don't know how many handwarmers you'd have to take but over a short period of time the weight difference might be less then a stove.

This might work if you get the boil to recharge type so you only have to pack in 4 or so instead of bunches.

Quirt, thats a nice setup. Id like to spend a week in that.

Do you have a theory on the fate of Jedediah Smith ? Im guessing Indians got him.

dipbait...you're always welcome in my lodge!

According to my research Jed died by a Comanche warrior's bullet in the back (of which he returned fire and killed the Comanche Chief) before being finally swarmed by about 20 braves and finally killed by lances. This all happened at the Cimarron Cutoff of the Santa Fe trail.
