I solve these two problems by getting a Goretex muff from a camping store. I
strap it around my waist then I can put my pencils, 6" ruler, mini-tape
recorder in the muff. I then stuff my hands in there, keeping them warm and
having quick access to these items. This also solves my problem of having to
wear gloves that are too bulky to write with.
