To our dear UK friends, I’ve read about the gas spikes and the fear of the upcoming winter.
Here in the Midwest it gets very cold, much much colder than you are used to. We know how to stay warm.
Please accept these tips and prepare as much as possible now. Once it starts some of these thing might be hard to come by.
Real down is quite possibly the warmest material on earth. Don’t go cheap, buy the best and it will pay itself over many times
Make sure to have a small tent. If things get bad it’s easier to heat a smaller area. Get sleeping bags too.
Wool, silk, alpaca are amazing warm materials
Eat warming foods
A small electric ceramic heater feels similar to fireplaces
Read up on all Carbon monoxide risks and get a detector
Buy hot water bottles now, those filled with hot water and a down blanket will keep you very warm for a long time
Always keep your feet, neck and wrists covered. Some say your head should be covered but I was taught this is not true, heat must be able to escape your head.
Acclimate yourself to cooler temps.
Stay hydrated
Buy insulation for windows and doors now
This is not to keep warm, but to save on electricity!
Buy any solar lighting now
Solar chargers, even during cloudy days solar still gets some energy
Buy battery backups
Think long term if things get real bad, are you able to relocate? Can you combine households?
