Chemical Warmers

Besides dressing in layers another trick to keep warm on the chilliest of days is to use a heated chalk bag or chemical warmers. Strap a body warmer (basically, a bigger version of a hand warmer; like Grabber’s “Peel N Stick” body warmer) to your chest near your heart to keep core toasty. By keeping your heart warm, you’re warming all the blood being pumped to your extremities. Just don’t put the body warmer directly on your skin because it can burn you. Try perhaps by putting it on the outside of your sports bra.

Tense and relax muscles for a while - the passive equivalent of getting some exercise. Go for a pee - your body is heating that extra water for no reason. Drink something hot or warm. Sit close beside another person, cozy up if you are getting seriously cold, this is the most effective way to get warm, and it is no time to be shy or reluctant....

100% wool blankets built for two, very little or no clothing(better) do not rub frozen skin, just gently press into cold skin w/warm body

...

Oh, so the "very little or no clothing" helps absorbs heat directly from person to person without losing body heat through layers of clothing right?
