It's Group-Work-On-Trucks-Day tomorrow, and it's going to be outside. So that should be fun.

A small electric heater blower works wonders.

Oh I've tried. It doesn't even put a dent in cold like this. It makes a dent in my insulated and heated garage, but once the door is open, it doesn't stand a chance. I have one, and it just burned up last night, unfortunately.

To your point though, I was outside last night and within five minutes my fingers were numb; even with double gloves. I started a fire in my steel chimenea thing and while that didn't make it comfortable, it kept the feelings in my fingers.

I have one of those propane jet heaters if you wanted to borrow it. Its a good size one. Forget the BTU rating (maybe 120k or 150k) but it will burn through a tank of propane in about 4hrs at full tilt. If the door is down in the garage, it'll run you out.

You need better gloves my friend. Or maybe mittens.

I?ll try and find you a link to some of my favorites. I?ve worked outside all day in this type of cold and my hands were fine.

I've got one stored away if I need, as does the neighbor. Thanks.

You're right. I was wearing thin cotton gloves under some cheapo Mechanix gloves. I'm interested in something that has some amount of dexterity for cold like this though, so please send links. Two years ago I spent $100 on gloves in the middle of elk season to try and stay warm. I've got wool gloves and synthetic mittens from OR, and neither are as warm as I'd like. The mittens are okay as long as you're moving, but they are very delicate, so kind of worthless for hunting.

You're suggesting an electric heater. To the guy who caught his 4x4 on fire, using a torch.

Bushings don't like direct flame.

Dang. My hands don't work so well when they're frozen...
