Sleeping on packing foam.

[zerodish]

Now that it is getting cold I want to tell you about a free product that will keep you dry and warm. Packing foam is white and mostly bubbles. One piece will keep you dry three pieces will keep you warm and more will make a good cushion. This is available at furnature stores in the trash or may be blowing around. Even below zero putting a piece of this against you skin will be warm in less than a second. Carry it around it weighs prectially nothing. As far as I can tell polyethelene is just a big hydrocarbon not much different than gulf wax. Which means it does not produce toxic waste when it burns. It burns slowly and the biggest danger is burning pieces blowing around. I had a cat that liked to sleep in polystyrene or styrofoam and his hair fell out. As for the other plastics they are not as warm and I don't recommend burning them.
