Always put my liquid fuel hand warmer in a old thick wool sock. When it was extremely cold i put it in the bottom of my sleeping bag. Where I also put my clothes. That way I never have to put on cold clothes. The beauty of boyscouts is learning what works but being young enough that the suffering is easier to overcome. Believe me the first few trips were a serious learning experience. I was truly blessed with a great boyscout troop leaders. I still keep in touch with my best friend from boyscouts. Im 56.
I have trouble getting to sleep when I am cold too , but I switched to an electric hand warmer by Survival Frog and a solar/dynamo battery charger and it is also a backup flashlight ... no chem burns and lasts 10-12 hrs , also no waste and every year I see those others all over the woods. ( some people have no respect for the woods) ... The power cell can also charge my headlamp , cell phone and shortwave radio. ( The SW is for emergency) Or CB .
