Years sgo I purchased some heated insoles from Bass Pro or somewhere like that. They worked, and still work, awesome. The only con is that there’s a long cord that I have to run up my pants leg and into a battery pack. Plug them in and they heat up really quick. Well I go to thinking, you know something I’m not used to, and wanted to find out what they were comprised off. Turns out they’re 30 AWG teflon coated wire. I did some research and found that this is common in biker clothing. I bought me a spool and took a needle and woove about 30′ into a fleece vest and attached a connector, then woove another 20′ feet into my hand muff and added a connector. I replaced the D-cell battery pack with a small motorcycle battery that I can carry in my backpack. Made me a 5′ connector with alligator clips and matching connectors. Now I can plug myself in when I get a chill for those long sits. I didn’t care for the hot hands and hot feet warmers because of having to make sure I had enough and the mess. All I can say, is it only takes about 10 minutes plugged in to make you start sweating. At the end of the day, plug the batttery into a charger and you’re ready for tomorrow.
Congrats to the electric genius that came up with the teflon coated wire idea to begin with. I hope he’s laughing all the way to the bank.

Sounds like we need to market this idea. or at least get you to show me what you did… I would love to have some heat on the long sits.

Just google DIY heated vest/jacket. I read an article on how to do it then just incorporated the same methodology into the hand muff.
