I am the towel type. But often I am too stubborn to use it. I check with two fingers first. That is my way of fighting snakes in a burning train that is about to fall down a cliff where the bridge exploded. The cave woman in me sort of. Then the sapiens kicks in and I resort to the towel. In very rare cases like a hot cake fresh from the oven I use the single glove. I hide that soon and use the towel. sigh I hit my bosom with my fists and shout: I made fire! I am so cavewoman when it comes to ignore heat it is awkward.
