Quoting: Lord of Pain I hope they turn on the power soon. Please god help That is what homeless people experience everyday.

If not, Get a Coleman propane camp stove. and turn on flame on for 15 minutes to heat up one small room. (like a bedroom). Then turn it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Don't sleep with it on!! just keep it on long enough to heat up a small room. Then turn it off. When the room gets cold again, turn it back on. Get a carbon monoxide detector, too, just to be safe. |

When you start to get cold, do jumping jacks until you're warm. 3. Drink water and eat more food. 4. Cover yourself with blankets or get in a sleeping bag to keep the heat in. 5. Repeat.

If you dont have anything like that get some rocks, with some cement or similar create a small fire place, rocks on bottom and side and cement with a couple of iron bars as top, put a metal pipe in it to get fumes out of the house. Dont ever wait for "them" to help you again, you must look after yourself. |

User ID: 80017119 France 02/16/2021 04:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here in Finland we have quite cold and snowy winters and I have been sleeping in wilderness in a sleeping bag countless times in freezing temperatures (even in under -30 Celsius). Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57295033 You are probably all equipped with -30°C sleeping bags, the same as those who climb the highest summits in the Himalayas. They cost a mint but they are a good investment these days. Yes they are. I bought two before moving up in the mountains. If the power goes off here on a Friday, they won't fix it until Monday. The bags are about worn out. Everybody should get one for each member of the family and be prepared next time. I will have to get me one. I will make sure it's certified for ultra-cold temperatures. Same as the 8,000+ m climbers. I am getting old. It might come useful. I came. I saw. I Concorde.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 15766710 United States 02/16/2021 04:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Get in a small room, light ten candles, or 15, and you will get warm. I have a huge space that I heat with just about 8 candles. Takes a few minutes, but it does get toasty. In your weather, 15 should do. You can also put plastic wrap over the windows and tape it down, or garbage bags, leaving a space between the glass and the plastic bag. That will insulate you from the cold coming through the glass. No need to suffer. There is also a method of making a ceramic type of candle heater, using clay pots, works quite well, radiant heat, long lasting, pretty safe, if you are afraid of using candles. I always have lots of candles on hand for times like that. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57264951 Kamala did it for the media. Self-importance image. She does not look like much of a jogger/runner from what I have seen.

Quoting: Lord of Pain I hope they turn on the power soon. Please god help Layer!!! Put on multiple layers. Pants and tops. Dress like youre outside. Make one top a hoodie and pull it up over your head. Then multiple blankets!! Put one down on the bed. Pull it up high so there's excess up near the head of the bed. Sit down in the middle of the bed. Wrap the bottom blanket all around your shoulders and over your legs. . Then plop at least 3 blankets on top. Heavy socks. Gloves. No kidding. Just do it. Make a hot beverage and put it in a thermos. Fill a hot water bottle. If you don't have one, fill a plastic bottle with hot water. Cap it,, and put it in the blankets with you. It will heat up the inside of the blanket cocoon. You can boil water, right? Drink the hot beverage. It will warm you. No bromo dude... |
