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

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.

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.
