Reccomendation for your BOB

[Silent memory]

Last time I used these I was in the Army and we managed to get these for our company. We used to use 2 of these to heat up the sleeping bags before retireing for the night. Light, and easy to use these heat pads are wonderful in winter when doing gate duty.

These chemical reaction heat pads are a must for not only survival but good for cold nights away when the nights get cold.

Just something to have if you have to leave and it is or near winter time.

I've ordered three of them. Let's see if they really are as reusable as it says.

As long as you dry them out fully then they are reuseable. For the price they do get hot and hard to hold onto. But good for keeping you warm under your shirt and not against bare flesh.
