To up-date my list I've been using many books, journals, catalogs and other web-sites. It's been helpful, but I have more work to do. do ship in the winter. I have 72+ hour heat packs for $3.00 each. I only ship to the main 48 States. No international shipping. Please read the front page for ordering information.
