Sand bucket with a multi wick crisco candle will help keep you warm. We buried copper tubing around the edge and copper flashing going over the flames to help disperse the heat into the sand. It's a fun project for sure.
Awesome video and it is an important topic and here in Sweden we can have really cold winters sometimes and where i am we can have -27 degrees Celsius. But we are used to have cold winters. And a power outage would not be fun especially if you live in an apartment but if you live in a house, it is a different situation because you have more options than you have in an apartment. And have a nice kit in your car in wintertime are also good to have extra warm clothes blankets and some extra food and water as well. I have shared this video out and a 👍as usual.
Hi Swede! Love your videos too! I have a suggestion for a video by you. Maybe you could share some tips on how the people of your beautiful country stay warm when the temperature there gets below zero. I have been doing some research on various ways to heat your home in cold weather and have discovered that "masonry heaters" are a favorite in Europe. They say they are much better than the common fireplace or wood stove. What is your opinion on this? We are planning to build a new home and I think I would like a masonry heater built as a backup source of heat. Hope you like this idea for a video! Good day! 😘
@@Lily-has-wings Thank you for the idea and the tip i will save this so i don´t forget anything but i can´t say that i have done a video about that before . Have a nice day my friend.
Hi Dustin! Good evening! Hope you are doing well. 🙂 We got a pretty decent snowfall here -- around 10 inches or so. ❄️⛄ First semi-large snow in several years. Very pretty!! Now -- come on Spring 🌼🙂 Just kidding! Not any time soon. Anyway, thank you for the video! Getting ready to watch. 🕊️☃️
Hey Mary. After growing up in the south, I do get excited when it snows still... Here in Colorado where I'm at, they're saying 5 to 8 in tonight. I definitely think the people that would be most affected by something like this would be the people who live in the areas that don't get the really cold weather very often. Texas is the perfect example. The state and power grid literally just couldn't handle it. Stay safe You should get out and build a snowman tomorrow. ☃️⛄🥶
@@reliableprepper 😊 Hey Dustin!! I may just build a snowman ☃️. You never know.🤔😊 Outstanding video, as always!! You are absolutely correct about the people unaccustomed to cold weather. They don't know how to handle it. You should see the drivers in our area -- mercy!! Scary!! 😮 No idea how to drive in snow! My father was from Wisconsin, so I learned really young how to drive in this; then I taught my son. Take care out there and enjoy the snow!!! ☃️
@@reliableprepperHi Dustin! May I ask what state you grew up in? I grew up in NC. Lived in Charleston, SC for a while (loved it), Atlanta (hated it) and now MS. True southern belle here! I must say I do miss the snow that I used to enjoy in my home state. We rarely get any in MS. 😢
El Paso here. When temps drop below 55-60° we start seeing heavy coats, scarves and gloves. Folks look like the little kid in Christmas Story...they fall down and simply have to wait for summer to get up!
I lived in south Texas for 2 years, it snowed 1/4 inch that melted immediately. All the highways, freeways and interstates were closed. I was riding a motorcycle wondering what the big deal was.
I'm going to assume you're talking about the hose bibs. If your house is brick--which is what mine is--you can knock out a brick next to the bib by drilling the mortar with a concrete drill bit. Wrap the faucet and about two inches of the pipe coming from the inside with heated tape. Use an extension cord to power the heat tape. Just set the mortarless brick back in the slot. If stucco or metal/wood siding, you can still wrap the faucet with the heat tape. Buy the shortest heat tape you can. They come from 18" to 6'. The latter is just too long, wasted electricity. Hope this helps. We usually only get down to the teens, but we did have a Vortex that shoved temps down to -2°F a few years back for a few days. Burst pipes all over the hood, but we escaped.
DUSTIN YOU DESERVE ALOT MORE SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR ALL THE INFORMATION YOU SHARE IS TOP NOTCH I KNOW ITS NOT ALL ABOUT THAT BUT THANKS ANY WAY GOD BLESS👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

A battery jump box is good to have. The one I have has an air compressor and a light.
I carry a 100 amp one in trunk of my car , living up in mountains.

Love hearing from other countries and how they deal with it too. Thanks.

@ShadowScoutSwede Oh oh! My bad. 😳 I obviously missed it. I will go to your channel and watch it. Thank you for your gentle reminder. 🫶

I am so jealous. I'm a NC girl who now lives in MS and I miss snow! Wow! Ten inches! I could make a lot of snow cream with that. ❄️🤤

Amazing information Dustin/RP.... Hate winter and snow. We are having a mild winter so far here in PNW.
Yes we are, Tacoma here
@@HowiesOutdoorAdventures Eastern WA here.
Last January and February in the Midwest got down to -41….cars wouldn’t start even with a jumper on the battery….
Two-way radio. A cheap CB handheld is better than nothing.
Good information RP thanks for sharing
Fun snow ❄️ 😜
Another good video, my friend
Oh, No! Polar vortex! Sorry, I live in the Phoenix area, we only have solar vortexes. I die every time it gets down to 60 degrees F*. Lol.
Haha, I hear you, but even those of us in cold climates can get caught off guard!

😂 my brother in law lives in Tucson I’m sure he’s much the same 😂😂😂
I LOVE THE SNOW AND THE COLD. I CAN'T STAND THE HEAT.
How do we insulate outside faucet pipes already closed in by construction?
I'm going to assume you're talking about the hose bibs. If your house is brick--which is what mine is--you can knock out a brick next to the bib by drilling the mortar with a concrete drill bit. Wrap the faucet and about two inches of the pipe coming from the inside with heated tape. Use an extension cord to power the heat tape. Just set the mortarless brick back in the slot. If stucco or metal/wood siding, you can still wrap the faucet with the heat tape. Buy the shortest heat tape you can. They come from 18" to 6'. The latter is just too long, wasted electricity.

Let them drip can help keep from bursting
We only get in the teens, but the foam covers that cover the faucet work for us. They are cone shaped and attach to the faucet.
I will skip this , I dont have a problem of low temperatures, I live in the Philippines😊
I love the cold and hate the heat. I'm 60 years old. And here in PA, it's 8 degrees. It's nice here.
The gas tank half full dont stop lines from freezing 😅
In Technicolor!
Currently plowing ❄️
