Complain?

Me?  Aye!  Loudly, often.  But, it doesn't stop there.  As mentioned, I was greatly disappointed with the zippo hand warmer.  Using it last night was... less than impressive.  So?  So I went looking, while waking.  And I found information.  I found it in two places, but one of the places didn't... explain it, or in a way, specifically, on that vid, which made sense to me.  I found it in another vid, which exclusively described what to use, where to get it, and how to apply it.

And?  And I... just happened to have all the components.  So?  So I tried it.  And?  And it sure seems to work!  Much warmer.  So, I got the other one out, and got it set up as well.  Now I have both running, in my pockets, as I get ready to go do chores.  I checked the temp, earlier.  I thought it read 14 F, but can't remember for sure.  Will check again as I get to chores.

Ah, the vid, and credit...  The other guy, I think, was being secretive, as he wanted to sell the material from his own stock, rather than have people use what they already had, or even know what could be used.  I have done soldering, in tight places, so needed the 'cloth', and had it on hand.  I was worried, at first, about it needing a lot, but, really, I barely used one very small portion, and probably won't need more.  This stuff won't burn off.

Next, I will be trying the plastic zip-loc bags, to "turn them off".  And double bagging, to more try to save the fuel... from evaporation.  If it works, I can light them up for chores, and 'shut them off' for the next day.  And, maybe, the fuel will last a week, more?  It's supposed to last twelve hours, on a full fuel charge.  Didn't, really, last night.  But... didn't fill correctly.  So... will see.

On to chores.  Later.

Much warmer.  Much better.  Not too hot, either, which was a speculative fear.  I have them bagged, double bagged.  Will see if that puts them out without... melting or causing other problems.  But, I think, all good.  The thing with gloves?  They only hold the heat you already have.  With poor circulation, there isn't much there.  These actually provide warmth.  Very nice.

Still, probably not what I had hoped.  I had some weird notion that they would be like mini-Mr. Buddys.  Expectation and reality often don't mate as well as one might think.  Still.  I... really like these.  If, too, I may be giving one away.  I may know someone who could actually, functionally, daily, use them.  Just half of what I have, will I give.  But... I will give.  Later.
