Has anyone noticed an ususual amount of "duds" when using the tear open disposable handwarmers this year?. It may be a case of old stock on the part of the store and my own personal stash, but over the last few hikes, the majority of the heat packs just didnt fire off. I normally store them in a ziplock bag and leave the factory packaging in place for a long as possible. I had picked up some "fresh ones' which didnt have an obvious expiration date for a hike on Sunday and even those didnt work very well
I thought it was just me, but Sue (Trailtrotter) had commented that she had been having similiar issues.
I have used 2 or 3 year old heat packs in the past without similiar issues, so I am curious if there has been a change in the design. Complete speculation on my part is that they may have designed them to run at a lower temperature to reduce potential lawsuits?
