Time buy a space heater and go off grid with Lifepo4 batteries and solar. Its an expensive proposition but you will be warm and have power
@@highlander723 so true, you can do so much with solar panels and a battery pack
@@erez2111 That's per liter in Europe. And Canada. It's pretty high.

Exactly correct! "You will own nothing and be happy"...This is how that starts.

Growing up in Canada, my grandparents always stressed that every home should have three sources of heat. Entire generations have forgotten this basic survival strategy.
Here in Iceland, even with our electric and geothermal heating, I am planning to get a kerosene heater. Iceland is suffering from electricity shortages, and we are barely getting by without having to ration. Some towns of Iceland have actually started burning diesel again to make electricity, to be able to hear homes. So if things really get bad, no electricity, no hot water. Then only burning something in the home will keep homes warm. Fireplaces are very uncommon here. And the government wants to start exporting electricity to Britain...... Which will rise prices here, and we don't have electricity to spare.
@@tundrasheep My god how will they get electric all the way to us ? I mean we have lots of coal but not allowed to use it but China can.
@@bertibear1300 loads of undersea cables already laid. Technically is not difficult.
We have electricity...our water boilers by law have a electric back up
I'm glad we have a fireplace here. Two different winters in the last 4 years, the furnace died. The fireplace isn't big enough to heat the whole house, but the living room and bathroom were nice and toasty, til the furnace got fixed. We just slept in the living room.
With a wood stove/gassifier you can heat a house, heat water, while producing bio diesel, and using the unburned wood gas to power a generator. You can also heat up water by placing copper tubing in compost. The breakdown of the compost generates a LOT of thermal energy.
You can also make a solar air heater / hot water heater that can help heat the house and heat your water, most of the year, and on sunny winter days.
I remember as a kid, I'm 65 now, growing up in rural Texas. My grandmother would turn our heaters off at night, and of course cover us up in quilts and blankets, then get up around 5am and turn on our dearborn heaters to heat the house up to around 50 degrees. It was because we couldn't afford a lot of Butane, so we dressed in warm clothes just to be in the house. I swear, some today would die if they went through even a little hardship like that.
Parkas are cheap
@@mbradley274 Lol
From Texas also. I remember the Dearborn heaters with great fondness. That heater was in the living room which also included the dining room. We rarely used it in wintertime mostly at Christmas or when relatives came. We only heated the kitchen/front room and the bathroom, as needed. This was with open-faced butane stoves. Still the best heat I believe. We were farmers and used butane powered tractors so we had 500 gallon service tanks. We were never cold, but we didn't heat bedrooms at all. And never ran stoves at night unless it was 0°F or below. Butane is wonderful heat as it gets much hotter than natural gas and doesn't produce nearly as much CO or CO2. I used to get a headache when I visited in town where most people had NG.
I grew up in South Wales, UK, scrapping ice off the inside of my bedroom window when I was a kid. Didn’t do me any harm what so ever? I dreamed of 16c as a kid.
True
We just bought a cabin on 3 acres. Plan is to have chickens and maybe a few other animals, garden, etc. Already have solar panels and batteries, will be setting those up soon. Rain barrels are ready to be installed. Every little bit helps.
Wow, good for you. Your not waiting for government to help you.
Not sure what kind of building or area you live in but this might help. My parents lived in a small rural town with bad winters. They had well water and didn't have a good heating system. The first winter their water lines froze. After that they had a ritual; every autumn they would show up at a local farmers land and shovel the manure from the barn for a small fee and bring it home. They would put a pile of it over the well head and then mound it over the top of the water pipe all the way to the house and against the wall where the pipe entered. Then they would cover it in plastic sheet weigh it down with stones and bricks. During the winter the pile would generate heat from breaking down. When spring arrived there was compost ready for the garden.
Did you know that on the range cow manure and horse droppings were kept, dried, and burned for heat. Hunters also looked for dried animal droppings for fire fuel.
We are soft. Don't be soft be educated on surviving. Plastic or bubble wrap windows, wrap all pipes coming into the house, not just for wells. There are many things you can do.
Look up survival videos before the internet goes down. Or buy some books on it. That's what my daughter did.
Do you know how to build a rocket stove. Can you make a fire place log from newspaper? Do you know how to over come hypothermia? Do you know what is available in your home to help you heat it without killing you?
Who is going to be the first responder to your emergency? Well that would be you.
They want to get rid of the cows because of the nitrogen. They won't be allowed to use that hack.
Similar to hugel culture ( not sure of spelling) but burying large stumps n logs generates heat for garden beds , ❣️
The well dismemberment get contained piling cow manure on top of it? Seems they'd be some manure leaching in to the soil.
That is how primitive cultures exist. Europe is going backwards.
Strange days Lilly, but rest assured the politicians will be staying nice and warm. Regardless of what they tell us to do. Best regards to all.
the politicians make policies to advance their own agendas, and the goals of other politicians who rule over them... they have so much money they will never go without, they don't care for the average EU citizen.. I can not understand how EU citizens are not raging on the streets since from about 2 months ago, the prices of fuels and food became artificially unbearable and almost impossible to pay for - all because of policies made by EU policy makers in order to enforce their goals.. without thinking about the middle class, which is the majority
@@davideyt1242 time to dust off and sharpen the pitchfolks.
@@davideyt1242 not to criticize but think if you were poor, oh yeah they want the middle class poor. to have a middle class is to have a thinking body of people which sees what the gov'n is doing. poor to poor to really have time to crit. gov'n (not all, but most) rich really do not care they already control or will stay warm. some 40 years ago i read/heard that the ones in control have to get rid of the middle class, they are the ones who will bring out the pitch forks and torches. not poor (can't afford said items and not as informed, not rich because they do not want to over through anything).

I feel your sadness and frustration. The US leads the way in self destruction. We could put a man on the moon, and at the same time piss away all the things that so many sacrificed their lives for. And for what?
The US is experiencing the same thing, since the China-bought senile potato head and his minions, cheated their way into power. He fiddled as the nation literally burned. Many are bracing another Civil War, and the country being divided into four or five smaller nations.
Most every country is realizing this now.
I would disagree with Lilly about one thing, however: she said that perhaps the politicians should 'do more.' No, actually they need to do LESS, since all they've been doing is causing dreadful damage, to everything they look at, talk about, think about or breathe on.
Politicians pass a regulation telling people what they must do and they congratulate themselves. A law about filling natural gas reserves does nothing if there's nobody selling the natural gas to you.
Not to be left out our politicians in the USA are making all sorts of rules and regulations that are destroying our ability to take care of ourselves. They are doing these things on purpose.
Thanks for the update lilly. This is why it's important that you prepared BEFORE the panic, now everyone will scramble for solar and alternate heating systems and there will be no inventory. If you can find used or new furs/ goose down jackets and extra insulation for your home do it NOW!
Hey CP didn't know you followed Lilly but glad you are keeping your eyes and ears open to all resources that you can get. I feel for our Friends in Europe all because of the Power Hunger Political Parties! Wish we could alk come together as one human race and stand up to the Tyrannical Government's. But I guess that's just wistful thinking on my part..

If prices for heating oil continue to rise there could be a tragic spike in fires from people using alternative methods to heat their homes this winter.

Agree at 7:20 Lilly puts it right - this is a war against middle class.
@@madaraszi although I feel that the term "middle class" is a misnomer, I believe they've pretty much destroyed "the middle class" in the 1980's already. I believe there was a "middle class" back then, now most that appear "middle class" are so debt laden they're only 3 weeks from bankruptcies.
Should never have let them take your guns
NYC here. I deeply appreciate your channel and sounding the alarm. You are helping thousands all over the globe. Danke!
Thanks Lilly for the update. It seems that the situation is pretty dire in Europe. I hope you get some help soon as the winter is approaching. Heating fuel here (USA) is getting more expensive, but have not heard of shortages yet.
Under cold conditions, pitch a tent indoors rather than sleeping on a bed and mattress in an open room. Cover the tent with lightweight comforters to retain the body heat.
I have done that in a winter blackout. Works very well!
Yes, that works well. Pitch the free-standing tent in the warmest room in the house, and close off the other rooms in the house. Put insulating foam in the windows-here we have 2” thick foam with an R-value of 19-I cut the 4’x8’ sheets to fit my windows. It significantly reduces my heating bill. Also, put an emergency blanket (foil looking sheet) under your sleeping bag in the tent. It will help reflect the heat. Stay warm & good luck!
Theu had beds with curtains around them in the olden days🙏🏽❤️
16 degrees Celsius is about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Just an FYI
In your living room, pitch a 4 man tent, inside the 4 man tent pitch a 2 man tent, then bundle up in your sleeping bag that should be resting over a space blanket with the aluminum side up. That should keep you warm.
I live in Minnesota so it obviously gets bitterly cold here. This may sound like a strange suggestion, but to save on gas usage (especially during the night) I would suggest hanging some additional blankets over your windows and doors. I actually installed some hooks over each of the doors and windows in my house for this purpose. I would turn on the heat for 30 minutes before bed and then turn it off. The blankets over the doors and windows really will keep a lot of the residual heat in the house (assuming your walls have good insulation). Almost all heat loss occurs through the windows and doors in a home due to a lower insulation factor. Also, if you have a chimney or any vent systems it would be advisable to close those during the night.
Nice.. goood thinking
imjust south of you in northern iowa.i am covering allmy windows with 4 mil plastic . to help winterize and i hang blankets between my rooms. now if there were any trees around i might look at a wood burning stove . but only trees in iowa are around a house
Really good idea.
Just so you know. Germany and Maria homes are way more efficient than the ones in the US. They have insulated shutters called Roland on's that come down and insulate even more. Blankets on a very insulated home like those in Bavaria and Germany is redundant. Also in Germany tgermany the neighbors would not appreciate it. It is not like the US to make it look ghetto. Our neighbors would give us a dirty look if we didn't shovel the sidewalk immediately after it stopped snowing. Heaven forbid you didn't rake up your leaves in the fall.
It's a scripted planned movie event.. thanks Lily for all the lives you have saved.. friends trust your intuitions.. you got this..
Much love ❤️
Your channel is great , it's so important to know what is happening in Europe , be well , and you are doing a great service
How many of those politicians will be cold this winter? None.
Politicians destroyed your way of life.
I hate to see a fellow archer in distress but what I realized about archers is we survivors. From this distance all I could do is send prayers.
We are already in a recession, here in the US. They are downplaying this fact so as not to cause an uproar. However, most people are aware of this and know things are about to get a lot worse. Also a lot of people are starting to get a supply of food and etc. Just in case things get really bad.
Our country(usa) is still running on last years food supplies. That will run out in the fall and this years food supplies will sky rocket in cost. The farmers are already losing their minds over the cost of getting crops in the ground. Like they used to say.....We ain't seen nothin yet!

I've had 100% solar for years, and heat my tiny house with propane (only $20-$25 per month in winter, including cooking fuel). I've fallen short with my gardening (hard to work with clay soil, but it's getting better with enrichment), and forraging, so hope to be better prepared next year. On the one hand, I used to "own" bigger homes and cars, and considered myself upper middle class, but I saw the 'writing on the wall' years ago and downsized everything. Better to survive than "keep up with the Joneses" who will apparently be starving and cold this winter.
Lilly---I live upstate NY and I am horrified what politicians have done to the world...where I live many people wont be able to heat and eat they will have to pick what is more important...its important that we all keep in touch and try to help each other against tyranny
Trump warned the EU years ago they would regret dependence on Russian energy. They laughed at him.
Trump is a puppet just like Biden, Putin, Obomb etc etc. They are all puppets for the nwo banksters. Money counterfeiting banksters run this world.
I remember that for sure
He told them and they pretty much laughed at him. Now who's laughing? Problem is we have leaders here in the US just as bad. What's even worse is that fools keep electing them
The problem is not Russia, the problem is the fact that Anglo-American empire wants to destroy Germany. Remember what Churchill said...
Yep, and the press as well. Of course we could supply them if Trump was still legitimately in office.
You are preaching to the choir, Lilly. I've been telling my family for some time now that this is a distinct possibility but here in Cleveland, OH, they are used to having all the modern conveniences at their fingertips and have not had to endure any significant shortage of basic necessities. When I lived in rural southern West Virginia, there were times when I had to heat selected rooms of my home with a heater I crafted from a couple of flower pots and several tea light candles. When it got too cold to rely on that small heater, I had kerosene heaters to fall back on, but I'm paying the price for years of breathing kerosene fumes now.
We both are on the north coast in beautiful Cleveburg. small world.
@@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756 Ich auch!
What is happening with you from breathing the fumes? I don't know that
@@peterpetrov5831 I don't specifically know either but ANY substance that's burnt could cause lung problems I'm sure.
That reminds me, it's possible to craft an HHO combustion plant if you're willing and able to work with high voltage. You can use electrolysis to break water into hydrogen and oxygen by adding baking soda to the water. I wanna use that in a diy power plant system, but you could also use it just to burn a little hydrogen flame like a pilot light. Hydrogen combustion is WAYYY hotter than any regular gas for heaters or engines. You can set it up to control the oxygen/hydrogen ratio too. More oxygen makes the combustion more powerful pressure wise, and more hydrogen gives a hotter burn. Your mention of breathing kerosene fumes reminded me of that because HHO just recombines as steam after combustion and only creates nitrogen oxide as a byproduct. Fossil fuel creates that AND CO2. I'm pretty sure burning HHO actually improves air quality cuz it also humidifies the air and condensates around areal contaminates causing them to drop outa the air.
Stay strong Lilly, sending love from Australia
Greetings from beautiful Hawaii islands ⛵️ 🏝 Thank you for information. Austria 🇦🇹 beautiful country and very educated people
The middle class here in America Lilly is slowly disappearing. The rich know how to hide money so they don’t get taxed, the poor don’t have the money so all that’s left is the middle class. When that is gone what is the government going to do. Prayers to you and your fellow Austrians. ❤️🇺🇸
I'm sure you already know this but,
The tax code is written in a way that favors the business class.
The business class is income minus spending as expenses and the remainder is what is left for spending which is a lot.
The working class is income is income then they get taxed and whatever is left over is for everything else which is not a lot.
From my understanding, that's how it has been for decades.
Slowly disappearing? Seems like break-neck speed to me. But yeah, the ruling class is winning, and they couldn't care less about the rest of us
That's why democrat's need to go than we be able to take care of globalists and stop global crisis
@@maskirovka33 yep the working lower class suffer the most no matter what. Our govt is trying to dissolve the middle class because they are the majority w enough money to have a voice
Amen to that, luckily us middle class don't fall easily
It's obviously intentional!....Prayers to you and your family Lilly!
Norway has just hooked up the UK to their grid. This is only a problem for few counties that have not put effort into converting to renewables. Austria is already a global leader in renewable energy. In 2018, renewables covered 29% of its total primary energy supply, the sixth highest among IEA countries, with the largest shares coming from bioenergy and hydropower. In 2019, renewable energy made up 77% of Austria's total electricity generation.
Thank you Lilly. I live in the U.S. and we need this information
This is where your survival skills will make you into a leader in your community Lilly. The true value of a person comes in being able to get the basics, heat, food, water and shelter. No amount of CEO paper shuffling will replace that. x
Cut the crap… no one is gonna take up hunting or foraging to survive… the best alternatives for these rich Europeans is to move to a poor but warm country for a few years. That will help their economy and you will be able to live a better life…😏
I live in europe , we wear sweaters when it is minus 20 and we heat only rooms where we sleep and we add a blanket, if it is cold. And when l was a kid in the 80s we had war rations and blackouts , no heating in some districts on a rotation. And electricity would be turned off after 23:00 . People are over reacting.
it's really great that your community is getting prepared and realize there is a REAL threat on the horizon.
Hey Lilly, I just did the math, and 16 C translates to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. That is insane. In winter, my wife and I keep our heat on 68 F (20 degrees Celsius). Mind you, we live in a humid subtropical climate (SC, USA), and we may see snow (on average) about two or three days a year AT MOST on average. My heart breaks for y'all. I wish I knew a solution. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and all my European cousins having to deal with this. Maybe the politics will change before winter. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. With love, Tommy
Wake up Europe.
With wood stove we pay ~$125/month in winter, there is a small heating unit in the basement to make sure pipes don't freeze, since we heat only w stove (summer is ~$95/month).
Being cold for long periods in winter, causes increased blood pressure which leads to more strokes/heart attacks etc. Bad if you're old, even worse if you've been jabbed
I installed a wood stove 3 years ago when LPG hit 5 bucks a gallon ! I put it in my basement and cut vents in the floor to let the heat rise up and warm the house . No electricity needed just convection . I only run my gas unit if I'm going to be out of the house for an extended period . Good luck to you Lilly !
@@jjs3287 The system I installed is a passive heat system that uses mass over input to radiate heat . I have 2 tons of concrete and stone in a dome in my basement and a small fire hole to heat it up . The fire heats the stone and radiates for days . We live down there for most of the winter and the bed I have built over it is so cozy . Russians had this tech forever ! Make one fire a day and no matter how cold it gets you're toasty !
Thank you for the update Lilly. I agree that we are in for rough times unlike we have seen in recent history. I can tell in your voice there is concern. You have demonstrated many useful survival skills over the years. I believe that all serve you well In the months ahead of us. Stay safe.
Great to this news update from people like you it keeps us all in the know cheers.
What you mean when you say if Russia doesn't supply the gas is, if America stops blowing up the main gas lines and if the EU removes the sanctions against Russia supplying gas. Did you know that Nord steam 2 pipe is usable according to the Russians but when they asked the German government if they wanted the gas to be supplied to them they declined the offer.
In Portugal, even before the war, we already almost freeze to death in our houses during the winter months because with our lower wages and high electricity/natural gas prices we have to choose between eating and paying rent or keep our houses warm. That´s the usual for us, unfortunately. It's sad to see wealthy countries also going through this issue too.
sorry to hear this. any tips on surviving with a freezing house. I didnt use my heating for 2 weeks in February in the UK as the prices started to go up but it got really miserable really quickly. I then put it on to 12c to take the edge off.
You taught this old man something today I thought Portugal was a warm climate thank you from West Virginia good old USA
Here in the UK I've not been able to adequately heat my home in 27 years. It's just too expensive
@@amywebb1455
Layer up your clothing. You'll be OK down to 8*C because below that it starts to physically hurt.
10-12c is a good call, but try to only heat the rooms you're in. Set radiators in lesser used rooms to the snowflake symbol to prevent them freezing up. Get yourself a cheap but warm down jacket NOW well before winter arrives. Cheapest time to buy winter clothing is in the summer.
Discounts galore currently .
Try stores like Decathlon, Sports Direct, Mountaineering shops, Go Outdoors etc.
Look for something that will be OK down to minus 5 or 10.

We all just stayed in bed till my father got a good fire going and when we got up we wore jumpers in the house- we are so used to our comforts these days but it's all about to change , get ready to wrap up !
But if EVERYBODY was relying on wood for heating, how long before we are cutting down forests in order to stay warm? It's fine here and there but if the entire society was heating with wood? And how about the carbon emissions? Are we going back to heating with wood and coal now?
@@endtimesareuponus8930 What I am pointing out is the inconsistency of ALL of these solutions being presented. Europe should NEVER have decommissioned its nuclear reactors in the first place. But clearly natural gas as well as clean burning coal and wood should also be part of the solution.

I spend a substantial amount of my time living on a narrow boat, so I really appreciate in how to keep warm as those boats get really cold.
Wool and Merino wool clothing are great, follow your grandparents advice and put a jumper on when its cold inside. All my bedding is wool blankets and wool duvets with a nice little hot water bottle for the night. My wood burning stove has a stockpile of wood and kindling and also provides a means for cooking if the electrical grid is down and the boats solar panels provide the rest ( not winter )

Keep up the good work Lilly, love here from New Zealand, you have taught a lot of people very important survival skills.
i feed all the stray cats. In return they get in my bed to keep me warm. Nothing better than a purring fur blanket.
Regardless of who made the decisions that led Europe dependent on natural gas from Russia, the situation is what it is. It seems like this winter is not going to be easy. It's good that your politicians are at least talking about measures that might need to be taken - that is good to hear. Should the US be in a similar situation, it would be political suicide to ask people to use less.
As someone who has had the thermostat set at 62 F (16.5 C) for years (and lives in a place where it remains below freezing for weeks during the winter) I can say that it's quite comfortable after the body adjusts. We raised our children with no issues. For some people that temp will be too low and that's understandable. I guess it's a case of each doing what they can to conserve and prepare, and hope for the best.
After heating oil tripled in cost back in 2007 we installed a wood stove and that really helps reduce costs (especially if you can harvest your own wood). It's got us through several ice-storms where the power was knocked out for days. One or two medium fires a day will keep the furnace from kicking on and at night we have the thermostats set 57 F downstairs, leaving enough time to fire the stove back up first thing in the morning so it does the work of warming the downstairs back to a comfortable temp. During the day, the upstairs thermostat lets it cool to 60, since we're not up there. We're very lucky that we had the resources to set all this up, and I understand that not everyone can easily access cheap wood for heating, or handle the physical work required.
Es ist einfach krank und beängstigend!
Danke Lilly, dafür dass du alles so gut zusammenfasst und versuchst, die Leute zu informieren und wach zu rütteln ❤️🙏

I love how EU has worked towards preventing new homes to be heated with wood.
I love it even more that new chimneys are simple tin foils outside the house and the old ones are forbidden. (Masonry which absorbs much more heat)
It's fine if the heat has been extracted before the exhaust goes out.
This is wonderful - the stupidity must be punished.
HOW has the EU worked towards preventing new homes to be heated with wood? They haven't done that at all, have they? I mean we sure as hell haven't ever noticed it in Sweden, quite the contrary, the EU supports it with subsidies.
I think you're talking about your own nations government and that is not the EU.
Hang in there, Lilly; you have a good head on your shoulders, and YOU GOT THIS. Keep up your situational awareness, and you will be fine.
16C isn't as bad as you think. I live in the US. We had an old farm house that was insulated like a bath tub. We kept ambient at 10c and the living room had a small space heater during the day.
The real issue is going to be burst pipes since the houses are being kept cooler. The hot water lines tend to freeze first because... Science. If there is a cold snap open the tap to that water line to be a trickle to prevent the freezing.
Good luck over there. Stay safe.
I can't believe they let this happen ....
You let it happen.
When the electricity prices increased 54% on April Fools day this year in Scotland, I turned off the Electric Heating in temperatures around 7-10 Degree Celsius. The money I saved went to purchasing additional food.
It was pretty cold and uncomfortable without 2 recommended pieces of Kit;
i) Harkilla Viken Wool Cardigan.
ii) Snukpak XL Jungle Blanket.
Also get a Stanley 1.9 Litre Xtra Large Vacuum flask to make hot drinks so you don't have to get chilled getting up from an arm chair too often from under the Snugpak Blanket.
That's more like it.
Honest straight talking no nonsense hard facts. The Scots are a hardy bunch. Ya'v had colder baths I bet.
Ask your politicians if they will be heating their mansions with only 16°c temperatures. Also, thank Klaus Schwab for some of this. And remember..."You will own nothing and be happy."
Take what they say and double it in a bad way and you will get nearer to the truth. Take care and be safe.
It's great to see people waking up that you can't depend on the government to help them. Stay safe and be smart,.
Hi Lilly. Today I did 3 hours foraging: red clover, mallow, elderflower, nettle leaves and nettle seeds, wild fennel and wild mint, plantain, dandelions, and roses. I spent 2 hours processing these foraged plants. Then I spent an hour emptying a million mason jars into 15 litre food-grade buckets. So that's 10 hours today I've been doing or thinking about prepping. Just a normal day for me.
Can you eat plantain or is it just medicinal?
@@zarahensley4907 both. You can eat the leaves in salad, and you can make a healing salve from it.
@@zarahensley4907 I'm giving the staff at Costa Coffee a jar of plantain salve each. They save me mini jam jars and used coffee grounds for my compost.
@@debbiecurtis4021 Nice. We love Mini Jam jars, our daughter frequents Costa, but she will be too embarrased to ask for us... Costa are miles from us though :(
Don't Forget Purslane, Redroot (Pigweed), Dandy lions and Burdock roots :).
I lived in a flat with 15 degrees during the winter. It sucks. I bet none of the politicians would have 16 degrees in their homes or their offices.
my family left AUSTRIA right before WW2. They came to the USA. I am happy in some ways, but I wish we were home, even with the problems. Here we have each other, but not the IDENTITY..SAD
Lily, the churches have huge rooms where people can sleep. Pool your money and resources. Install 2 large wood stoves, one at each end of the church. Bring wood to stock up at the church. Everyone bring food for the winter. Cans will burst if too cold, keep behind podium in church. Store water. Put plastic over the windows. Find a way to deal with bathrooms, maybe buckets or dig outhouses now. The elderly and ill sleep on benches. Fit and children on floors. Families stay together. Our ancestors lived like this all year round, you can do this for the winter. My great grandmother put wool rugs over the windows, to keep the cold out. Also, wool blankets over doors, that helps keep the heat in when people coming and going.
churches in Europe have a really high ceiling. It is not possible to get them hot.
Lilly. Something to consider is if you use a boiler system the fluid in that system and rads can freeze and burst. It can destroy a house. It can take less than one day below freezing to damage the system. Consider having installed an anti freeze solution into your boiler system. A wood stove may not heat all areas there is water that can freeze. We went through the energy crisis back in the 1980s. I have seen first hand what can happen to a house if it freezes. It was not fun. Keep jugs of frozen water in your freezer. It will help keep the food cold longer in a power failure. I have set up my boiler with a plug for power. This way I can plug it into my solar battery inverter direct or a portable power source during interruptions.
Politicians are always full of stupid ideas
You are so strong and so smart but unfortunately you're gonna have to be stronger my friend. You are an essential being right now and you will find so many people having to rely on you very soon hence you're gonna have to be stronger and you can. 💔
If NATO had not advanced East -- right up to Russia's border--- none of this would have happened all would be fine.
NATO/EU/U.S.DEEPSTATE pick a fight that did not need be.
And Europe is paying the price.
Here is the thing that scares me in the U.S. My ex husband decided to get on the "green" bandwagon several years ago and invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in trailers to transport windmills (they're enormous!) yet he told me they've been sitting idle for the past 2 months because it went from over $20k a load to $7k and no drivers want them. If we're going green, wouldn't those loads be going non-stop? What the heck is happening?
World economic forum
Diesel is expensive.
@@My.life.in.Christ And Klown Snobbb. He will do anything to disrupt life until he gets his Great Economic Reset going. Its failing. He was caught on a hot mike worried that people are not doing as he wants.
They have enough green energy for the population they have for there target
Yeah... when there weren't enough of these trailers (supply-demand), the loads were $20K.
But your ex-hubby and probably thousands more entrepreneurs flooded the industry with thousands of these trailers.
So now the supply of these trailers exceeds demand. Hence the price per load is 3 times less.
At the same time diesel price is 100% more than a year ago.

In order to save money on my expensive natural gas bill (I"m in the US), I keep my thermostat at 65 F (18.3 C) degrees during very cold weather, and 63 F (17.2 C) degrees when it's not crazy cold outside but heat is still necessary. It is uncomfortable, but I have a very limited income. I have in the past kept it warmer, like when I was taking care of my father, and when I had cats who were old and frail. I also provided them with heated cat beds. I will do anything for my cats. We've been warned that our natural gas bills for heating will rise. Our water bills have already risen. We were warned that our electric bills will increase, because, allegedly, natural gas is used to produce it. The electric companies have installed solar panels on our telephone poles, but have not reduced our bills. In many jurisdictions, we are not permitted to put solar panels on our roofs unless they are tied to the grid, which means the electric company gets benefited by our own solar panels, and we still have to pay our electric bill that is only reduced by a little bit. Many jurisdictions have restrictions on alternative heating methods for homes. Like you, I am very concerned!
17c-18c is WARM.
@@RawTopShot Not in near or sub-zero temps with wind blowing, like during Nor'easter storms. Pipes freeze in those conditions. Professional advice is to keep thermostat at minimum 62 F to prevent condensation on pipes, which leads to freezing. As far as comfort goes, that is subjective. Good for you if you are comfortable at lower temperatures.
What kind of people vote for a decision like that or for representatives that make decisions like that or appoint people that make decisions like that, like not letting you put solar on your roof unless it is connected to the grid?
I'm American and relatively poor. I have set my thermostat to 16 degrees Celsius, which is 61 degrees Fahrenheit (the temperature scale we use in the US). It's uncomfortable and sometimes I shiver at night. I appreciate the advice provided by some in this comment thread.
Not to sit there and freeze, but take counter-measures. More layers of clothing, more efficient heaters. Build fires if possible. Use low power electric blankets.
Here in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina we live at 3500 feet of elevation and usually keep our house at 60 degrees in winter, which is 16 Celsius. If it's windy or storming outside we may burn a log in the fireplace to take off the chill. We find we sleep better when it's cooler, and we don't use as much propane and electricity to heat the house.
What about showering? I don't think I could do it.
I'm in Southwestern Virginia we do the same thing
Have you seen *appalachia homestead with patara* YT channel?
She's pretty funny.
I live up at 6,300 ft and we normally keep our livingroom around 65° F in the winter. We keep our master bedroom, back bedroom and office at about 55° F in the winter. I keep a small portable heater in the bathroom and turn it on for about 10 min (500 watts) before taking a shower. We wear long johns/ long underwear under our clothes and I add a sweatshirt.
@@cmf6081 does altitude affect the feeling of coldness?
My grandpa used to say: "Learn how to make a fire out of wood, learn how to cut wood and learn how to light a match."
Russia is not hurt, only Europe with it's suicidal policies... This was EU choice, not a necessity...
I just spent my first winter in the highlands. The average temperature in my flat for about 4 months was 11 degrees. I would "treat" myself by turning the heating on once per day (mainly to make sure pipes didnt freeze, and to keep the building healthy). I also opened two windows twice a day for a few hours because its quite damp up here.
I am not going to lie. It was not pleasant. I had to make some serious changes to my routine and the clothes I wore around the house. In fact I got a large woollen blanket for when I was working at my desk. BUT you get used to it. Seriously, you get used to it.
Its a very modern concept to heat your home to 21c permanently. Even within my lifetime I have seen this become normal. In winter its cold, in summer its hot. Until about 30 years ago you accepted that you would have to wear jumpers indoors to stay warm in winter. That time has come again.
Yeah people are used to wear summer clothes in winter in their homes... this is wrong... for the past winters I had 15-16°C in my flat, didn't heated at all during winters and it was just fine, I was just wearing more clothes and still felt pretty comfy. Sleeping at 15°C with a warm duvet is probably the time of the year when I sleep the better....
For me it feels weird that people gets triggered just because they are remembered the very basic idea that heating too much in winter/using too much A/C in summer/driving your car too much is wasting energy... the reality is that people on their own have also a small part of the key that would make the whole energy dependency problem easier....
@@manu.yt25 Well said. I very quickly got a much warmer duvet and a woolly hat. Sleeping was suddenly toastie. I think after about 2-3 months my body adjusted to the cold too. I feel warmer naturally now. I think sitting in hot rooms had made me soft.
@@TheWtfnonamez in the winter I prefer about 16 degrees in my house, so the difference in temperature from the outside isn’t too great. Not having to completely disrobe every time I go into a house is really annoying. If isn’t sweater weather, why make it so hot inside that you can’t wear one?
Like seriously my uncle keeps his house at like 11 degrees in the winter. That’s tough, hands get clammy, but 16 is perfectly livable. In a time of crisis, heck yeah turn down the heat!
@@macmurfy2jka That sounds about right to me, based on my experience after my body had adjusted to the colder temperatures. I have thermometers in every room (not joking, I wanted to monitor the situation) so I got to watch very closely how I was doing in different temps. Down to around 14-15 degrees Its comfortable enough, even if I might wear warmer clothes. South of that things start to change. At 11c I have to keep my body VERY warm or I start to notice slight loss of dexterity in my hands when Im typing. I think at this temperature my body actually starts drawing heat into the core to conserve it, and thats no good if Im working at my PC and need to type a lot.
I never thought I would see the day, but I actually got one of those USB powered warming vests after I watched a Prepper Princess video about it. I could barely bring myself to buy it, but it was worth every penny. They last a surprising amount of time on one charge and they basically inject heat into your torso, which keeps you feeling incredibly warm.
I guess the old adage is true..... "heat the person not the room"
Good luck to you mate.
@@TheWtfnonamez
I'm currently sat down wearing only underpants!
It's 21 celcius and I'm sweating!
I don't think the rest of the office are amused....
(joking, I'm at home)
This is far too hot and humid for me.
I am blessed to live in an area where winter lasts about 4 months, rarely drops below freezing. I was using electric heaters, it was cheaper than central heat. I built a wood stove in one of my large green houses, learned that from you actually. I appreciate all you do. Stay strong while keeping us strong.
In the US we use Fahrenheit for temperature reading and 16° Celcius is 60.8 degrees Fahrenheit which is very unreasonable to ask people to limit their temperature for the winter at. I feel that if we had DJT in office we would be energy independent and I think we'd be able to help our allies in Europe. My heart goes out to you and I will be praying for you.
16 C is 60 F, which is cold. My house feels freezing at 68.
THIS is why American small government is ideal. Europe is authoritarian. America is authoritarian in 2022. We need to return to freedom.
What they’re telling us is a world without us middle class humans is a better world and that simply isn’t true.
You will own nothing and you will be happy. You will eat worms and bugs.
They try to tell us we don’t need God. God is angry and will come back to kick some.
The purpose of sanctions were to harm Russia but Europe has only shot itself in the foot. Russia has resources and Putin has over the years developed the Russian economy towards relative self sufficiency. I question the wisdom of the EU and US politicians. Clearly they have done very little long range planning with regard to these sanctions.
We've known about this problem for years in advance, but those in power failed to work to avoid the problem. They had other ideas that were not taking reality into account. It's sad that here in the U.S. we have so much natural gas that we literally have to burn it out in the open to get rid of it because it's basically a waste product of oil production. The U.S. is not the world's #1 oil producer and that means a lot of natural gas is produced as well.
This is why I'm so strongly in favor of energy independence in the US. I don't care, left, right, up, down, whatever. Depending on foreign nations for something every single individual in this country needs is not wise. This is not something most people can do on an individual level, or even on a city level. Rebuilding the energy infrastructure requires an investment in the billions of dollars. As we've also seen in Texas, relying on private, for-profit energy companies can also lead to disastrous consequences for individuals. No $13,000 power bill for 2 days of power during a blizzard, thank you very much.
Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
Im sick of living in fear. Maybe 20% of people know what is happening.
Stop watching TV.
It's 24/7 fear porn.
Don't be scared be prepared.
Move to where you won't feel this pressure
Respect your neighbour's rights, (especially the neighbour who always give you stuff(like gas)) and mind your own business that's key for things like this not to happen
In our home when electricity stops it is very obvious. Extremely quiet will wake both of us up immedieately. We do have a 5kW gasoline generator and 15 gallons of gasoline will last 3 to 5 days with intermittent use. We live about 2 hours west of Washington DC and so far not many power outages. Good video, thanks for posting.
Even looks like it's all on purpose... 🤔 Hmmm...
I think the reason for all this is a mixture of a fragile supply chain, a pandemic that nobody needed, bad political leadership and failure of diplomacy.
@@SurvivalLilly The last thing politicians are is clueless. They know EXACTLY what they are doing. I bet my S they shorted stocks and invested in war tech stocks before all this crap. In the end the result is the same. The people get poorer and they get richer.
