How to Stay Warm When Your Power Dies: 7 Life-Saving Heat Hacks

Описание: Grid down. Heater dead. The cold doesn’t knock — it moves in.
This video shows how to stay warm at home without electricity using household items, basic heat physics, and a plan you can execute fast.

🧊 7 SAFE WAYS TO HOLD HEAT (HOME EDITION):
→ Choose one small room and turn it into a “heat bunker”
→ Layer smart (air traps warmth, sweat destroys it)
→ Stack shared body heat the right way (blanket mountain rules)
→ Use ONLY controlled, low-risk heat options
→ Stop the floor from stealing your warmth (conduction is the thief)
→ Hot-water bottle cycles for core + feet
→ Candle discipline: tiny heat, strict rules

🧪 WHY THIS WORKS (FAST SCIENCE):
You don’t “need more heat” — you need less heat loss. Cold drains you through conduction, convection, and radiation. Seal leaks, insulate surfaces, protect your core, and you buy hours (or days).

🎯 THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
✓ You live in cold winters or apartments
✓ You have no prep gear and no generator
✓ You want simple steps, not survival cosplay

🛑 REALITY CHECK:
Most people don’t lose to the cold outside — they lose inside, because they heat the wrong space, ignore drafts, or gamble with unsafe fire/CO.

🧠 RULE OF THE BLACKOUT:
Make one warm zone. Protect your core. Reduce heat loss. Repeat.
That’s the whole game.

📦 HOUSEHOLD ITEMS USED:
Blankets/towels/clothes, cardboard, tape, bottles + cloth wraps, tea lights (supervised), a small room.
