How to Survive a Winter Blackout When the Power Grid Shuts Down

Описание: The power grid just failed. Your furnace is silent. Temperatures are dropping fast. Here’s how to survive a winter blackout when every minute counts.

When a winter power outage hits your city, you only have hours—not days—before hypothermia becomes a real danger. This isn’t a prepper fantasy. This is a practical, science-based survival guide for the most dangerous cold-weather emergency: a city-wide blackout in freezing temperatures.

🔥 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
✅ How to build a “warm room” and seal it to stop heat loss
✅ The essential layering system that turns your body into a portable heater
✅ Safe heating methods (and the deadly mistakes that kill people every winter)
✅ How to keep your pipes from freezing and destroying your home
✅ Emergency water sources you already have—40–60 gallons available right now
✅ Smart food strategy when your fridge and freezer stop working
✅ DIY lighting solutions when batteries run out
✅ Carbon monoxide dangers and how to avoid them

⚠️ SAFETY WARNING:
Never use gas stoves, ovens, charcoal grills, or generators indoors. Carbon monoxide kills more people during blackouts than the cold itself.

🧊 THE SCIENCE OF SURVIVAL:
Your body loses heat through conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation. This guide shows you how to block all four using items already in your home—no expensive gear or bunker required.
