Buy a chainsaw and go cut down some firewood and if you don't have a woodstove buy a barrel kit where you take a 55 gallon barrel and it puts a door and a vent on it with some legs, and then you'll have some heating for your home if you don't have time to get firewood get some pallets there's free pallets on craigslist all the time and use the pallet wood to heat your place. Also get some personal warm clothing like I've got some bibs that you wear for hunting and they're like sleeping bags on your legs and get some warm booties and a warm jacket and a warm beanie cap.

Like so
Good idea but cant bring it inside right? Would produce carbon monoxide. What are good ways for indoor heating. Propane is no go. So far I have only purchased a hot water bottle but that's not gonna be enough.
Install a stove pipe. No more CM
>Would produce carbon monoxide
What do you think he is talking about? An open burn barrel in your living room? Don't even bother trying kid. You're not gonna make it.
>Good idea but cant bring it inside right? Would produce carbon monoxide.
You can't be this dumb
And if you wanna have a fire outside you can build something called a heat exchanger have as many barrels of water inside the home and pipe the water to the fire and heat the water up with the fire outside that will heat the water in the home in the barrels will radiate the heat this is how I heated the motorhome for two years.
Unironically, it’s after Christmas, and the middle of winter, buy a scuba suit on deep deep discount. I knew a guy who ran a snowplow business. Nothing keeps you warm and dry like a suba suit. You can wear clothes over it, it’s like military grad long Johns.
>Nothing keeps you warm and dry like a suba suit.
I really like this idea. Just avoid those bean burritos.
All you can eat taco Tuesday will probably be less frequent in the apocalypse.
Talking about a dry or wet suit?
>Talking about a dry or wet suit?
Either would work because the rubber insulation, is actual insulation.
Either. Whatever you can afford. The ideal is to make sure that even if you get caught out in the snow, you’re impervious to wet and wind.
I got my Helly Hansen coveralls for that.
>Helly Hansen coveralls
Those will be top dollar right now. Scuba suits will be 90% off. Plus, a scuba suit is far less cumbersome.
Very cool. I had no idea there were such steep off season discounts. I wonder what else I could get for cheap now?
Everything off season is cheaper. The six month mark is when to buy anything you need for six months in the future.
Dress in layers. Put extra blankets on bed. Sleep in long johns and a hoodie. Problem solved.
kerosene stove. insulated sleeping bags .antibiotic. gas generator. playboy magazine 2005 imo napkins
is it possible to heat up with napalm? it seems to be much more effective than these stupid israeli candles and a pot
Yes and as a benefit it sticks to your skin so you can carry the heat all over your body wherever you go
Get a car jumper battery starter. One with multiple ports.
nice hint. thats something people often forget, if you own a car you already have a power generator
Beeswax candles, lanterns, bricks, axe, firewood, lighters, grill, plastic sheets over windows, power generator, stacks of frozen beef, water, pot, pan
Bubble wrap is better than plastic sheets, the small kind is better than the big kind..
Nice, why so?
They sell insulation that’s just bubble wrap in tin foil. The trapped air adds a layer like a double pane does a window. Not having it wrapped in tinfoil adds the r value of sunlight.
Thanks fren
Good suggestions. I'm stocked up on half of those. What generator would be a better option? Solar or gas.
I have one of these it uses a small bottle over a 10 hour., At four bucks a bottle there before hundred a month it would be better to hook it up to a 5 gallon propane bottle where the price is 20 bucks and the equivalent of 30 bottles
Do they sell regulators or whatever that would let you switch to the big bottle versus those little ones?
>Do they sell regulators or whatever that would let you switch to the big bottle versus those little ones?
Yes there is just a connection hose that cost 12 bucks. I have a camping stove and that's how I feel it with a 5 gallon bottle in one of those connection hoses.
Thanks anon.

Oh shit. Thank you, Wayne.

You're welcome.
If you're freaked out about carbon monoxide you could get a carbon monoxide alarm. They do suggest to have a little crack in the window.

they also deliver a lot of humidity in the room.
>they also deliver a lot of humidity in the room.
I know they don't, there's no water in propane. Now if you brought in wet clothing the hot air would make the water start to vaporize

Save empty water jugs, they can be collapsed to save space. If water freezes, and things shut down or you can’t get out, you will need containers.
Arctic weather gear that is insulated for freezing temperatures is highly recommended.
Extra socks in case yours get wet.
Additionally, follow the rule of three for body heat clothing layers. 1. Should wick away moisture. 2. The middle layer should be highly insulated like wool. 3. Water/wind proof or resistant materials.
Learn exposure symptoms and treatments. Hypothermia disguises itself in its victims.
Comms, secure them. If you can’t, find a way to signal for help in case of emergency.
Stock up on common items like black tape, super glue, first aid stuff. Just things you might need.
Candles will heat up a room but you need air coming in or else you will suffocate.
Morale is always important. The psychology of survival is one of the most important things.
Learn to hunt/trap or stock up on food.
Always keep trash bags or plastic stuff to keep ur shit dry.
Try not to sweat during outdoors travel or freezing temp exposure.
My layers are
>top, long underwear, t-shirt, button up wool flannel, sweater/hoodie, carhartt jacket, and marshmallow coat is my final form, but only for extreme cold.
>bottom, long underwear, sweat pants, jeans, snowpants in extreme cold.
Get a gf and cuddle naked.
Put bags of ice in your freezer. If power goes out your food will stay cooler longer. Get empty containers such as milk jugs-during power outage place them outside. As they freeze put them in you fridge to keep things cold.
Look around your neighborhood on recycling day. The people that have groceries delivered have big styrofoam coolers that would cost around 20 dollars to buy, just sitting out for recycling.
That's actually a great idea I hadn't come across before.
Become the white ghost Black folk the most.
Fully dressed, fully loaded,
the Black person plague will be eroded.
hide in the blizzard and the snow.
Where the shots came from, Black folk won't know.
Cleaned the street of a hundred more,
Rip those joggers out of every store.
Finally when the night is over,
your neighborhood's as white a Dover.
nothing stolen, not a dime,
"what a weird drop in crime".
Use these storms to kill Black folk is the moral of the story,
Slit their throats, upload it, and make sure it's gorey,
Merry Christmas pol

So water, shelter, food, etc. to survive.
Big thing is your pipes are gonna freeze and that sucks. You need water. I know your little filter works and you can eat snow, but not having frozen pipes is going to go a long way in quality of life. Have fun gathering snow or filtering dirty water enough to wash hands and clean stuff for you and your family. Too much time and energy (calories you need to store in your body) to be running around doing that. What you'll need to do is decide where you want your water to come from, preferably from center of your house that's away from outer walls (those freeze first). Turn of water to the pipes that go to outer walls and be sure to open the faucets to drain them. You can get by with just a bathroom sink but shoot for at least a shower/tub that you can bathe/clean stuff in. You should fill up whatever bathtubs and containers you have with water as an emergency resource. Stock up on bottled water as well.
Now, you have done your best to have water pipes that work, but you need to purify and keep those pipes warm..
WOOD STOVE
Cook food, boil water, heat home. This is the thing that will save your life. While others are struggling to get by on snow and cuddling under blankets in the dark, you will have the luxury of heat. Keeps people happy, keeps calories in your body because you aren't shivering or tensing up in the cold.
A wood stove that keeps water pipes thawed is going to keep you alive for a long time, even without any food.
have a marine horn for emergency honking
buy fur it will keep you warm even when there is no heat
Same for wool and mohair.
pre-store water, u can put it in old pop bottles or whatever jugs u have for drinks,
I have about 30-40 litres of filtered water just sitting in myfridge.
it also acts as a climate battery for my fridge incase there is a power interuption, the medium will help keep it cool.
same goes for your freezer, have frozen mass, it will help keep your good cold if your freezer goes down
One thing people in the US and Canada need to come to grips with is that we will not have the same level of public service we have grown used to over the past 50 years.
That is my prepper advice. " Prepare to self rescue. No one is coming to help."
Police, Fire Departments, Emergency Medical Services, fricking snow plow operators have been decimated by the usual politics and CoVID politics . If for example, you have grown used to being able to drive on the New York State Thru Way because it has always been plowed even in the worst lake effect snow storms you may end up like the 20 people that died in their cars this past weekend.
I think a lot of people will die because they are slow to adapt to the fact that our court systems release violent criminals,our police have either quit or "quiet quit", the water company isn't keeping the water clean,,on and on.
>Prepare to self rescue. No one is coming to help.
Learned that 16 years ago. No one helps you faster than yourself, so invest in yourself.
Tell us the story please.
Hurricane Katrina is the best example.
Katrina stories about the absolute terrors that blacks became during the emergency were my favourite back when anons were inclined to share.
Black folk are the worst.
>the absolute terrors that blacks became during the emergency
The stories about how blacks were immediately considered "kill on sight" after the terrorization was heartwarming.
Awesome. That it was all swept under the rug even though they could have scored muh victimized Black points really makes ya think.
It's not a joke. My cousin was a first-responder. He said that between Black folk and alligators, you had to keep your head on a swivel, at all times.
>Tell us the story please.
Nothing exciting, just the South being horrifically incompetent at anything snow or ice related. Even infrastructure workers and first responders got btfo from ice on roads. Even the AAA trucks weren't doing too well. I don't live there anymore and moved to the mountains. People are still moronic there, mainly because they come from California, Texas, or Central America. Not uncommon for them to freeze to death because planning for the future is too hard.
These days I prepare winterization kits. Each car gets a half gallon of methanol in sealed bottles, 20L Scepter can w/ shaker siphon and a screw on steel adapter cap, two sets of traction boards, tow hooks and ratchet straps, enough oversized winter clothes for anticipated number of occupants, chains, warmers, first aid kits, two sets of wrenches and socket wrenches each, aluminized picnic mats, etc. If I am stranded, I can pull myself out of trouble alone, and in relative comfort. Only costs a few hundred bucks per car, about a thousand with good chains and recovery equipment, which is incredibly affordable compared to getting btfo and demoralized that your last day would be freezing in a stuck and rapidly freezing car.
Can't convince my folks to do the same, as they've moved from the south to north where the Lake Effect is a thing. I just stash away shit in their cars while they're not looking, otherwise they just unpack it when they find it. They're starting to figure out they shouldn't do this.
That's an impressive list of take alongs.
>That's an impressive list of take alongs.
I also happen to be a huge fan of vehicles with huge amounts of cargo space. Crossovers and the women who keep financing these objectively wrong choices can get fricked. Surprisingly enough that kit gets regularly used for other cars more often than it does for my own, or to patch up other people's frick ups.
I think of it this way. When I really did have no help, and no infrastructure, the list of what I wanted was... everything. Cars require a lot of stuff when they don't work, and so do people.
Besides, the days of good charity and stewardship from good samaritans are largely over, at least from what I used to remember as a child. People don't know how to take care of themselves anymore so they can't help even if they wanted, and the human shaped golems would probably loot you if they stopped anywhere near you. I'd prefer that they keep driving along to the next Foot Locker or Shart Mart to pilfer.
>That it was all swept under the rug even though they could have scored muh victimized Black points really makes ya think.
It's something that people rediscover every so often, so I don't worry. People quickly discover, "Hey we can just shoot him."
Katrina guys learned that birdshot fricking sucks outdoors, and buckshot isn't that much better. Buy slugs and ball rounds for the groid. Turns out overpenetration is really nice since they're always in groups anyways. The appropriate loadout is closer to big game hunting than it is self-defense.
Oh well it's really sad to read, but they've lost their fear and that's not good for them or us.
People will exhaust every solution possible, until forced to use the correct one.
The traffic lights are slowly going out, in the lousy little city, where I work. It's such a shitty place, no one's said anything yet, but we're going to have some interesting fender-benders sooner or later - especially with roving packs of little niglets, wheelie-ing their way down the street, between cars.
Do niglets really
Literally. They're actually pretty impressive. It's like a circus act, where you want to run over the performers, instead of applauding.
Speaking of weather, something unbelievable is about to happen in Sacramento California
I don’t believe it.
Total rainfall could reach 20 inches over a large swath of North California. This will pile into rivers, especially the Sacramento River.
Not to mention melting the snowpack leading to potentially catastrophic and life threatening flooding
Electrical heating-tape that can be wrapped around water pipes. Any pipes that really freeze or get exposed to very cold temps (uninsulated garage), wrap them and plug'em in. Take the house all the way down to 46 degrees. Use heavy clothing and bedding to stay warm. It is, of course, a miserable existence and only to be done if you don't have access to a woodstove and fuel, but in a bad situation, it'll save your ass and your house.
The nerf tube style made for purpose pipe wrap is a better idea. It’s made for purpose.
I put (regular) foam nerf-tubes ON TOP of standard electrical heating-tape. Didn't know they actually made electrically-heated versions of it.
The electric heat tape is a huge fire hazard. If you lose power in a storm it’s worthless anyway. If your pipes get condensation in the summer, you’re exposing yourself to danger. The nerf wrap alone is good enough.
You'll never make it without super male vitality pills.
Full camo heater suit. Preferably camo that matches your local area. Bonus points for sewing mylar to the inside of it to make you invisible to FLIR. Ghillie suit would work with layers under it. As far as essentials you need a way to filter water without access to utilities, such as a gravity filter. Then you need a means to protect/defend yourself.
