Ive started using the shake to activate hand warmers, brilliant job lasted more than 5 hours last time we where out, and cheap as chips!!!

Also cant beat the floatation suit with a good set of long johns....... Toastie!!

A wee fire with the biscuit tin sounds good!!

My tip would be if you have a long walk to your fishing spot dont put all your layers on until you have finished the walk. If you do ya sweat like mad then the sweat cools down and you nearly freeze to death!

my tip is dont ride for an hour in the cold on a motorbike as you'll be cold before you arrive no matter what you wear. then standing around all day in the cold then the ride back.....
it how i ended up with hypothermia.

but you dont know cold till you've riden a motorbike in the snow!

If your feeling the cold you should avoid alcohol and caffeine. Both of these have detrimental effects on you, reducing your blood flow.

Preventiion is better than cure, 2 light layers is warmer than 1 thick layer as trapped air is one of the best insulators
