[obladeo]

Buy a chiller box and put heat pads in it ..

leave car running with heater on that what i did when it was really cold . not really a cheap option but really nice jump back in after a cold game lol

watch out for pikeys who might nick your car tho!

6-7 hour running a car hummmm don't think so as that will do allot of wear on the engine. If i wanted to pay allot i could just take my petrol cooker

flamtek bag is another idea, runs on electric tho e.g car fag lighter some people have made mods to run on batteries.

coolbags keep things warm too

i use a coolbag/warmbag that fits a 2 full boxes(4000) in, that has a pocket built in the top for ice packs ,but i use those rechargeble heat packs when i get to a site ,but when travelling to the site i put the bag with the lid open in the passenger footwell to warm the bag n box +paint
this way they dont suffer too much

we use a flametech bag, not sure if there still sold.

Basically a insulated bag conected to a battery to keep it warm.

You may have to google it

Or ask you local kebab shop if they have any old delivery bags as mentioned before some re-usable hand warmer, i just got some from aldi, a 2 pack for 1.45 and they last about an hour each, when you get home just boil them in a pan for 10 mins and good as new, there is also some advertised on ebay that last 18 hours or something.

Another good option is them big polystyrene boxes used for fish and stuff, just use a hand warmer or even hot water bottle with a towel covering it and it should at least keep warm a little while (and chances are there will be a bait cabin who will nicely fill it up for you.

Failing that use a good thick shell winter paint and prepare for bounces lol

Edit:- a tip i seen from a canadian paintball site... mist spray a tiny bit of water on the balls and mix them up a little so they all have a tiny tiny amount on them it makes softer when they are more brittle
