12 Cheap Winter Gadgets That Make Freezing Cold Feel Like a Joke (#1 Feels Like Cheating)

12 cheap winter gadgets that make freezing cold feel like a joke: a pine stick that lights in the snow, a drill that punches through a foot of lake ice in about a minute, a sock for your tires, a heater that needs no electricity, and a #1 that turns a frozen tent into T-shirt weather. Most are on Amazon, with a rough price and an honest catch for each. With the first nor'easter of the season and big Sierra snow in the forecast, deer season on, and Black Friday coming, now is the time to gear up.

Anything that burns fuel (propane heater, wood stove, diesel heater, catalytic warmer) needs ventilation and a working carbon monoxide alarm; follow the manufacturer's instructions and never bring a grill or patio heater indoors. Diesel heater exhaust must be piped outside and sealed. Never put a heater inside a bed tent. Never go out on ice alone; about 4 inches of clear, solid ice is a common minimum for walking. Check your state's traction-device rules for snow socks. Prices are rough ranges at the time of recording.
