Well today was absolutely brutal cold here in Mississippi, hahaha, high of 43 or so with 10-12mph winds. In all seriousness, that’s cold for down here.
Well as you know, gloves and bow hunting aren’t always best friends. I wear some super thin liner type gloves all season long. I have a ton of different types of gloves that I love for cold gun hunting, but none are the most release friendly.
I’ve had a cheap old hand muff for a long time, but it’s thin and not very warm, even with hand warmers inside. Well... a few weeks ago I had an idea and finally put it to work today.
I took a piece of reflectix and cut it length of my hand muff and long enough to make a liner for the inside of my hand muff. Picture a sleeve about the size of a roll of paper towels. Well I rolled it up put it inside, and opened it up. Threw in a couple Toe Warmers, and holy crap! It was so hot inside that thing!
The reflectix blocks wind and obviously holds the heat in. It was so hot, that even with only the little liner gloves, I couldn’t leave them in but about 5-10 minutes or my hands would get sweaty..
Now, with that said, I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to use those toe warmers with that much air around them... the package said not to, but that’s all I had. They swell up to about the size of a golf ball and get so hot you can’t touch them hardly.. I put 4 in there (2 packages) and it was crazy hot..
I have about 20 packs of toe warmers, so I’m gonna keep using them until I run out and then I’ll buy some regular hand warmers for it.
Anyways, thought I’d throw the idea out there incase anyone doesn’t like big gloves and wants a cheap ‘oven’. I think the hand muff was like $20 new a few years ago and reflectix is as cheap as dirt.
