Many years ago, I read somewhere that sleeping with your partner with your feet in their armpits and theirs in yours would help to reduce the likelyhood of frostbite to the feet, which I understand is the most susceptible area for that problem. I have never been able to fathom the practicallity of such a position. Has anyone on this forum ever heard of this method actually being used?

For the weight of a Jon-e hand warmer fuel and the warmers themselves, I would much rather carry a bag that would accomodate both feet and put either a small or large Jon-e in it for heat.

Will just heating the armpits and crouch suffice to increase the core temperature of hypothermia victims?
