I just knew Binka would have the answer! With all the things he gets up to, I am surprised he has the time to fish
He reckoned that as the sea (saltwater) froze after freshwater the salt in his pee would have some small beneficial effect.. Mind you, on one of the matches we had one bad winter he was giving his hands "the treatment" on the Witham when a lady appeared out of nowhere walking her dog---- oops !Is there a scientific explanation for this quaint custom, Mick, apart from the obvious heat input?
I will wear fingerless gloves in the depths of winter
Legs too?If the idea has legs please remember me Chris
As a matter of interest, my wife has just bought a pair of Hot Rox USB hand warmers as she is a sufferer of Raynaud's disease which affect fingers and toes in the main. She suffers badly with her fingers which go numb with cold, so these Hot Rox seem to be working very, very well. They are rechargeable via a USB port and have two settings - medium and hot, and the hot is bl**dy hot!!
The 'Rox' are about the size of a large pebble which sit in the palm of the hand inside gloves, or in the pockets of walking jackets and the like, and although not necessarily ideal for fisherman, anyone who really suffers from the cold might benefit, particularly if (say) carp fishing with not too much movement...
They are recommended by the RD society and although not cheap at £20 each they will stand charging some 500 times according to the blurb. I think I'm right in saying a full charge lasts some 4/6 hours on medium, but that should be checked!
Someone might like to attach the Hot Rox website?
Thanks
