No because they are incredibly dangerous. As bradders says warm clothes, good shelter and hot food and drink is what you need

You could boil a kettle and do yourself a hot water bottle. Or you could grow a pair of....

tried sticking my hands down my pants to warm up but get strange looks on the bank as apparently its frowned upon in certain circles. Thanks though - doesn't seem like they are a good idea.

Give yourself a good birching for even entertaining the very thought, all you need to do is get a good sleeping bag the right clothing (whatever that might be) a hot water bottle then zip yourself in the bag tuck your head under the covers and have a turbo tug, give yourself enough recovery time and go again.

Cover yourself in goose fat all over your skin.

Im a cold person. I'm always cold. I've recently invested in a full set of snugpak sj12. And honestly I can't see myself being cold this winter. Out this week in very low single digits and just with the salopettes alone I felt warm. I've never owned decent clothing before and honestly I think it will genuinly change my life.

Not so much fishing related, but I read of some campers,who got cold ,brought a lit BBQ into the tent ..

It didn't end well..

I have always focused on keeping my upper body warm. Thinking that's the bulk. But I've found that just keeping your legs warm, and hat is way more important.

I think the upper body loses a lot of heat, but thats probably where most heat is made. Your legs are harder for your body to warm up, so make sure they're insulated.
