Cold hand solutions, anyone?

big cozy mitts for general walking about, then wee thin pair(seal skinz are great) for the other stuff

 

Oh don,t forget the string for the mittens . And a big Duffle coat .

When your fingers start to go numb, windmill your arms quite fast, it gets the blood flowing back in them. I saw this on Bear gryls (whatever his name is) programme a few weeks ago. It really works, it seems the longer you windmill the longer it lasts.

I could do with putting a few pounds on myself but this is easier said than done with the way my body burns fuel

 

Yeh, poor old you you, must be a bugger eating what you want and never putting weight on. My heart bleeds.

I used to have problems with cold fingers and toes when I was younger and less, ahem, corpulent. Not that I'm fat now () but a few xtra pounds certainly helps keeping warm - which is just as well seeing as I'll probably be the size of a small planet after Xmas. I don't get cold toes and never need gloves outside of sawing. Giving up smoking helped as well, though that contributes a bit to the weight gain.

Its joint pain I get more nowadays, occasional tennis elbow and an inflamed knee joint - particularly in cold weather. Arthritis? Rheumatism? Rheumatoid Arthritis? Never knew the differences in these three - never needed to! Something that happened to old people, not me.

Fixed that for you. :thumbup:

Thank you Mr Saw-sick.

 

You do have a point as it does look like youv'e lost the plot, waving your arms about, like a madman. Its usually only the first hour of the day for me, as above about 1 degree C, I don't get the numb fingers, and round here it usually climbs a degree or two by 9.30 10ish.
