Handwarmers, S03E04: Use your handwarmer to repel mosquitoes?
Channel: Mountain Parameters
Date: 24/02/2019

You may not know it, but you already have a device that will heat up those pads that are placed into thermal devices to create fumes from chemical compositions that are used to repel insects. That device would be your handwarmer. And if you already have one of those devices that create heat to warm up the pads, could you use it as an alternative fuel handwarmer? 

The video discussion does not focus exclusively on Handwarmers. It examines the use of insecticides, pesticides, terpenes, and heat pad style repellent devices, and the feasibility of handwarmers to emulate them. It also takes a dichotomous turn and looks at using the heat pad devices as handwarmers.
