[at-l] Flameless Heating kit???

[shellydhale at earthlink.net (Shelly Hale)]

Has anyone seen the new Mountain Oven Flameless Heating Kit.  What I wonder is what are the heat activation pads made out of?  I
know that the salt tabs would combine are the catalyst that causes the heat.  Are they basically like hand warmers?  Hmm
.  I would
like to attempt to make a homemade version of this.  Any scientists out there wanna help me out?  There?s gotta be a cheaper way to
do this than $2.40 a use.  Geez
..you can buy a whole can of alcohol for that.
