Have you ever thought of ways to stay warm without electricity in the winter? If the power goes out during a flurry, what do you do?
Whether you live in Michigan or not, no one likes the cold. So when the snow begins to fall, staying warm becomes a top priority.
Since we are in the business of comfort and warmth, we have some tips you may find interesting. Here are seven great ways to stay warm without the use of electricity:
- Layers are your best friends. The more layers you wear, the warmer you will be. Make sure the clothing that touches your skin resists moisture. If you sweat and the fabric gets cold, you’ll lose body heat.
- Socks and gloves are must-haves. A pair of wool socks and some nice gloves will keep your hands and feet in check. If you need to use your fingers for a second, explore fingerless gloves.
- Thick comforters, blankets and quilts will keep you warm anywhere. Grab your spouse and kids, cuddle up and get even warmer. After the winter is done, you can hang them on the edge of your sofa for some nice aesthetics.
- Sleeping bags can be beneficial in the winter since they keep body heat inside them. When you really need to stay warm through the night, sleeping bags joined with a blanket make a great combo.
- New carpet isn’t only good for aesthetics. Carpet provides warmth and comfort to the floors of your home. It can keep you warm when standing or lying on it and acts as a form of insulation.
- Hot beverages will warm up your hands and your insides. A hot bowl of soup or some tea will raise your core body temperature upon consumption.
- Exercising will raise your body heat and keep you warm for about an hour after you have completed your set. Doing some high knees and push-ups will get you sweating in less than five minutes.
If worse comes to worse, you can always go visit a friend or relative. You aren’t paying for their energy bill, so why not?
