I had some leftover Reflectix rolled insulation--which is basically mylar blankets stuck to bubblewrap. It makes a lovely floor to such a creation. I use chunks of the stuff as seat covers while sitting outside to keep myself warm. Amazing how fast it warms up!
Quick question, how come in this situation we can’t just stay in our bed?? I’ve also been told you could put that reflective thermal blanket against your windows
Great question! So if this was a very short term thing, theoretically, yes, you could stay in your bed. The problem is you can’t really sit up and eat or drink in your bed. Depending upon your living situation, you might be able to build one of these blanket fort/super shelters in front of a fireplace or other fire, safe area and be able to add heat from that kind of sauce. You certainly wouldn’t want to do that on a bed! This allows you much longer term set up if you’re having to go multiple days without power.
Good ideas if it's only a few hours or a day, but I can tell you from experience that if it's 50 degrees or less in your house you're going to be hating life because you can't stay in the fort all day. Once you get cold it's almost impossible to warm up. We were without power for a week last winter in NC and it stayed 50 degrees inside and it was miserable. The best thing to do is save money and buy a good generator so you don't lose your food and you can run a space heater in a room on a gennie. It's the best investment we made. Of course, if you live in an apartment or condo above the first floor and you don't have a balcony, this won't be an option.
Smart idea!

Thanks!
Great idea! This would be a good way to entertain the family during a blackout while keeping them safe and warm. Everybody loves building forts!
Thanks!

Thank you. I always appreciate your videos.
Very welcome!

we don't even have winter here, just hot weather
Not sure where here is, but I know my Texas friends were surprised by the ice storm a few years ago. Always good to make a plan.
hahaha. But the USA is not the country in this world.@@SustainablePrepping
