Thank you JoeThe pads and the bottle will not provide all-night heat at a continuous temperature like a heating pad can. Not sure if that is important to your situation.
Probably not.Thank you Joe
Yes sadly I know; I'lldefinitelymiss the relief. Do you think most Albergues will have some way to heat water do you think?
I have used a single cup coil for heating hot water. Plug it in and quickly it heats the water whatever container you use. It would take a couple of cups but all you need is one with EU plug ins. We pack what we need. Best to you.Sorry for the odd question... but due to a long ago injury I've spent years sleeping with a heating pad; obviously that's not an option...would a hot water bottle or the therma heat patches be viable alternatives?
I think I once saw heating pads in the mall that you activate by squeezing them, no water or electricity required, and you can reuse them over and over. You could try googling this. I also think they came in a variety of sizes.Sorry for the odd question... but due to a long ago injury I've spent years sleeping with a heating pad; obviously that's not an option...would a hot water bottle or the therma heat patches be viable alternatives?
You can use a heating pad. Most beds have places to plug them in right next to them.Sorry for the odd question... but due to a long ago injury I've spent years sleeping with a heating pad; obviously that's not an option...would a hot water bottle or the therma heat patches be viable alternatives?
If it's not too heavy, I'd bring the heating pad. If it's heavier have correos carry it for you from albergue to albergue, along with part of your luggage.Sorry for the odd question... but due to a long ago injury I've spent years sleeping with a heating pad; obviously that's not an option...would a hot water bottle or the therma heat patches be viable alternatives?
I have put a half dozen in my pack for emergencies and hope I can find a Spanish version when there. Thank you!I find the patches quite effective and would probably be much lighter than carrying a water bottle or heating pad. Something like these....View attachment 120879
I have bought them in Spain.I have put a half dozen in my pack for emergencies and hope I can find a Spanish version when there. Thank you!
I would carry the heating pad and a short electrical extension lead.Sorry for the odd question... but due to a long ago injury I've spent years sleeping with a heating pad; obviously that's not an option...would a hot water bottle or the therma heat patches be viable alternatives?
The kind of heating pad that I linked to above is powered via a USB cable. A 10 ft/3 meter USB cable is probably lighter weight and can also be used to charge a phone and other electronics.I would carry the heating pad and a short electrical extension lead
Just ordered!How about a small heating pad like this one?
When we walked the Madrid in November of 2019 we stayed in in a house Coca and when asked about heat she handed each us a hot water bottle. So suppose it's possible.Sorry for the odd question... but due to a long ago injury I've spent years sleeping with a heating pad; obviously that's not an option...would a hot water bottle or the therma heat patches be viable alternatives?
