Fill a 2 liter soda bottle with calcium chloride pellets ( this is the white ice melt). This will take about 24 oz. When you need to use it simply fill the bottle with water which should be stored along with the ice pellet bottle. The temp will reach about 100* and last a whole day. I am going to make smaller bottles of this . This would also be good for camping and put in your sleeping bag to keep your feet warm.

Where does one find calcium chloride pellets?

[Deemy]

Seldom Seen, it is where you find rock salt, etc to get rid of snow. It's white,just be sure to read the label to get the right thing...It's not hard to find at all.

Thanks Deemy,I'll keep my eyes peeled for it. I didn't know of this trick either.

Thats a neat idea. Since were in the snow belt, it ought to be easy to find about everywhere.
