if you can afford it...go to Walmart and get a 1 person tent and set it up on your bed. It will trap in your body heat and be warmer.

[@juliecarson7364]

If you can get some straw and sew it into some material and put it over that tent...

[@CharelleWilson]

If you don't have straw, a blanket over the tent provides insulation as well. Godspeed, brave, sweet girl.

[@joycenagy3140]

Great suggestions.

[@kathleenlogan8229]

Yes! Now they also make bed tents. They fit over your bedding like a fitted sheet. 2 simple poles. Wash and use every year.

[@lorihamlin3604]

I grew up in unheated house and as a child I can remember struggling to roll over under heavy layers of quilts in a bed with 3 siblings. The experiences from my childhood on a farm set me up to appreciate all the comforts I now have. You won’t hear me whining about the trivia we are consumed with now.

[@Teenywing]

[@haroldncillabryant6448]

Dam I bet that suck but and experience like that will help you make it through if you ever get into it again which hopefully now ever

[@beverlywarfield5698]

I am 72 years old now. We had a coal stove in the kitchen, it only warmed the kitchen n the living room. The rest of the house was ice cold. We had layers of blankets on the bed, plus an outside toilet. When I was in ninth grade we got a furnace n indoor plumbing. I say many times like you, I appreciate what I have today.

[@walksnwheels]

@@beverlywarfield5698💐

[@CiaofCleburne]

I did this my first year here. I was inside a camper with no insulation and one tiny space heater. It was so cold I would cry all day. Everything I touched was freezing. That was 5 yrs ago. I finally got into a rent-to-own cabin. Having it wired professionally cost around$1,200. Best thing I ever did! At least it was insulated. Hope, determination and NEVER giving up helps tremendously!! This summer, we are trading a kayak for a heating stove so I no longer have to worry @ losing power during ice storms. I have no running water so some days I collect snow and melt it to use for bathing, but I am thrilled in spring when my water catchment barrels fill up. Everything will iron out. Never, ever EVER give up❤

[@CiaofCleburne]

And I forgot, hello Dia…my name is Cia❤

[@DiasFrugalLife]

This is my 1st time watching your channel. I have lived in a manufacturedmobile home for 25 years, I heat with space heaters, so I know how terribly cold it can get In the single digits! I have been widowed almost 3 years & I live with my 15 year-old Westie. My prayers are with you that your situation changes! I pray you stay warm in the meantime.

[@Ablank2011]

Hot hands hand warmers are the best inside a sleeping bag 🙏❤️

[@MeshellTin]

I didn't see your post before I made mine. They are THE BEST!

[@mamametascookingadventures1069]

I’ve slept in cars before with snow on the ground and blizzards, and I do truly believe in things that have wool in them. Anything with cotton just doesn’t go in cold weather cotton is good for summer, but not winter.

[@KasThinks]

Coming from a Sub-Arctic climate region, I can totally second that! Goodwill is a good place to obtain it.

[@mamametascookingadventures1069]

Another thing I did that really made the difference was to put up my 3 season bike tent inside the sienna . I did put a light wool blanket over the top of it too. Sometimes you can find these wool blankets at thrift shops coming from estate sales . Or you can double sleeping bag your bedding . I also cover or make a wool shield over my sleep apnea machine but leave the filter area are exposed. *** Never cover over the side vent of the Toyota Prius . *** I have a Prius which I use for the long haul trips across country . I rarely use the heater at night. The Prius uses 1/4 of a gallon of gas in a 11 hour time period . One thing a dealer point out to me in Texas never over pack the Prius . The generator needs air . And vents need air .

[@DiasFrugalLife]

@mamametascookingadventures1069 so many have recommended wool blankets… I will be keeping an eye out for wool blankets thanks you.

[@linnaellis212]

Praying for you Dia. It might be helpful to hang a blanket or quilt from the upper bunk down your bedside to the floor, kind of like a tent and reflectix backed with some sort of padding to insulate the windows near your bedside. These would help you to be warmer at night. God bless you. 🙏🏻

[@casitacindy461]

as someone who has lived in my rv during very cold weather. drain all faucets before the cold hits if you are not going to run antifreeze through the lines.. use bottled water, nothing in drains. put a big pot of water on the stove. start boiling that before you get out of bed. by the time it boils the place will be heated and you can use that warm water for bath, breakfast, dishes, etc etc. just toss out the used water on the ground.

[@DiasFrugalLife]

Thank you very much for that info! 😊

[@missychan63]

Doesn't she have to get out of bed to turn on the stove?

[@EscapeAdventureswithRobinSteve]

windshield washer solvent (the blue stuff) can be used cheaper than Anti freeze!!!!!!!!

[@kcontreras832]

How do you boil the water before you get out of bed? I'm genuinely curious.

[@casitacindy461]

@kcontreras832 i jump out briefly to start the fire

[@StuartWagner-t2e]

hot water bottles in the bed at night will still be warm in the morning when you get up. it's what I used to do when I lived in an old house in UK without heating

[@DiasFrugalLife]

Thanks for that idea 💡

[@EvTosh]

Yep!!👍🏻

[@AiryanneMarchese]

A boat heater will work

[@AiryanneMarchese]

Do you have electric? Get a small ceramic heater. Make sure it’s ceramic. They work great

[@joanngreen7059]

How would she heat them?

[@terryrenfroe6753]

Can't say enough how much my Mr Buddy heater has saved my life. Propane is the way to go.

[@LumiEvie]

Can that be used in a closed in space? I thought it was a carbon monoxide risk.

[@janicem9225]

​@@LumiEvie Not with a little ventilation. A few windows cracked just a little, and a carbon monoxide detector.

[@pamkarns4244]

Saw on u tube u can heat a small room with a clay planter pot, cheap candles and bricks.

[@hannakinn]

Those can be very dangerous please look into the fire hazard aspect before attempting to make that type of heater.

[@noodlepair.]

Cover the window with plastic wrap so it's a little more insulated and you can still see outside. Glad you have the van to warm and go to places. The summer is almost here, yay. 🌞 So happy for you that the travel trailer is a gift.

[@cherylwills236]

Insulate your windows.put rugs on your floors

[@kathleensmith5787]

Buy a heating pad, heating blanket, and a small portable heater, also a face mask will keep your face warm while you sleep.

[@RobinRockefeller]

How do they work without utilities?

[@renel7303]

​@@RobinRockefellershe has a power bank or something that was powering her coffee maker. I don't know the details. She probably couldn't run all of them but maybe one. Maybe a large heating pad with a shut off timer. Fairly inexpensive, mine is a "heating pad for back and shoulders " and is just 135 watts. I got it for back pain but it keeps me toasty.

[@chrysalis4126]

Might be worth paying for an electric hook up at a campsite during the coldest months then you can have a heater on and an electric blanket on your bed.

[@Joeandcaydenshow-1-cayden]

I remember, as a child, living in a house where we had icicles on the inside of the windows. One fire in the living room. I used to take a hot-water bottle to bed and keep my clothes at the foot end. Getting dressed under the covers🥶

[@antonia4722]

My childhood was exactly the same! We would use lemonade bottles filled with hot water. Ice on the inside of the windows was the norm. I live on a boat now..I'm 65 and its not much different in the winter!

[@smarttraveler8232]

Getting rid of the storage unit is a good idea. Only save pictures and important papers. Furniture and clothing will come and go in your life, you won't miss it.

[@DiasFrugalLife]

Definitely. 💯 I’m able to store most of my things in this rv now and what doesn’t fit I will donate.

Boil a river rock, wrap in foil. Then a hand towl, put under the blanket. I had a power outage when i lived in my rv in Montana. And i used the last of my propane to boil the stone. It saved my arse. I woke up it was neg 2. But i slept like a baby

[@catlady6464]

Wow. one I've never heard of.

[@janicem9225]

Padding from dinette and both bunks probably could be used to create “wallls” around the lower bunk which would decrease drafts and help trap heat around you.

I grew up on farms 1950s/60s/1970s. No heating, just one fire place. My dad first up in morning 6.00a.m. jump into freezing cold clothes, straight outside for animals. We had a fumey old oil stove mum put on for me to get dressed by. Draughty metal windows, ice on inside. Ancient boiler/boiler room that filled kitchen etc with fumes when wind blowing certsin way. Could only have about 6" water each once week for bath (3 of us) as old tank also supplied farm house, had snow falling on us in bath from old sky light window for while till dad covered it with plastic. Before this, up to 1963, diff farm had tin bath. Also once lived in old mobile home where sheet edges were frozen to wall by morning. We wore coats with hoods in that time in winter! So happy in my dotage I have a lovely warm little bungalow, happy days. 😊

[@DiasFrugalLife]

Oh wow 😮 I can only imagine how cold that was. Thank you for sharing.

[@josephinestecak4945]

@DiasFrugalLife ...it was interesting lol.

I hope you are sorted out soon. ❤️

Good morning Dia, sending you prayers as you are navigating through this difficult time, please remember that this difficult time is only a season, this is your time to restructure and rebuild. Even though the season seems like it's never ending, you will get through it. Remind yourself that you are strong, and give yourself mercy, be kind to yourself. I'm very sorry that you are cold, try to get wool materials to keep warm. I currently don't use the heat in my place as I can't afford to have it repaired, again sending prayers and hugs to you. Remember you got this. ❤❤

[@DiasFrugalLife]

Thank you. 😊 💜♥️💜 I do understand how expensive it can be to make home repairs.

[@BonesAndButtons]

Try to rig up a duvet or blankets over your bed to make a "tent" enclosing your bed. It does help. Hot water bottles are a blessing! Taping a layer of plastic over your windows with a gap in the middle, that helps. Having several layers in your curtains, that helps.

[@FW10309]

Invest in wool blankets. You can bundle up in them, use them as rugs even pin them up on your walls to cover windows and doorways.

[@ukmedicfrcs]

I lived in a van for a few years and I had a little portable power station that i would use to plug in my blow dryer and then I would use it under the covers whenever I felt a little chill. It worked so well.

Plastic between your layers of blankets help. My nose gets cold, can't sleep with my head under blankets, I make a tent over my bed. House sitting-pet sitting pays nice but it's temporary housing. Some storage places offer an apt to keep someone on site, my sister did this with her 3 teens, or did apt management for discounted apt. I took a job as a companion for an older man, he cleaned more than I did and taught me how to cook his style of cornbread, I just cooked breakfast & lunch for a nice room in his house for me & my baby and min. wage. His daughter brought him supper. He bathed all on his own, but needed someone in the house in case, he was in a wheelchair but had a modified van and drove, though he shouldn't. There are a lot of lonely folks, afraid, and without a caregiver they risk going in a nursing home. His daughter tried a food truck, when it failed, she replaced me. This was okay, I'd saved up enough to start over. If I had been single I could have worked a 2nd job or gone back to school.

[@willowingwhispers2612]

- Wear something underneath your sleepwear (long johns, leggings, etc) and multiple pairs of socks. - Cover those windows with something more than just blinds. At the very least at night if nothing else. Anything will work, even cheap little throw blankets can make a world of difference. - Wool works better with gathering and conserving heat over things like cotton or polyester. - If you're struggling to find work, try fast food places. I know it's not ideal and it doesn't have to be long term, but it's one of the easier kind of jobs to acquire. It can put a little money in your pocket and help for resumes when searching for other jobs. Hope things get better for you!

You are an inspiration to those who are in similar situation. I wish you only the best life has to offer.

Hmm winter comes around every year bout the same time prep early

[@LailaniMessina2381]

Exactly! Get necessities in the spring when all the Winter stuff goes on sale !!

This was so entertaining to watch!! And I’ll recommend maybe investing in a heated blanket but make sure is a good quality one, some of them have a tendency to burn

[@11Renee11]

Entertaining to watch?! The first comment post states she doesn't have utilities so a heated (electric) blanket wouldn't work.

Add a wool blanket between you and the floor. It will help retain your body heat.

I take 3 hot water bottles to bed its cheap and lovely and warm.l also bought a cheap furry duvet cover.Put bubble wrap over the windows, l grew up in a freezing house no heating except a fire in one room.The ice was on the inside of the windows

Light some candles if you have any laying around. Those tall skinny ones in the glass jars at dollar tree are a good deal, the ones that often have religious themes. I noticed when I couldn’t afford heat, candles made a difference. I also agree with the people that said a Mr buddy propane heater would be helpful. That’s what got me through a power outage we had last winter due to a blizzard. I pray that god blesses you with everything you need to live comfortably ❤

[@DiasFrugalLife]

Thank you! I am definitely looking into those buddy heaters.

I went to a thrift store and bought heavy used quilts to hang on my windows to block cold air. I also got towels at the thrift store and rolled them against the bottom of doors to stop drafts coming in the bottom of the doors. I did buy an electric heater but use it sparingly. Lots of good ideas from your supporters. Good luck! Be safe!

What about using a diesel heater. They are brilliant,so cosy and so warm, as long as you can put up with the noise.

[@jasperine141]

Other people on KZbin in yr situation have used foil bubble wrap at all the windows. Separate the driving area with a warm fabric curtain. I live in a very cold draughty house and I have three duvets on my bed and a fleece blanket inside and fleece Jim jams and two pairs of socks. I don't have central heating and not enough electric power and sockets to run free standing radiators.

My home was once cold during a snow storm because the oil hadn't been refilled. The kids were home , we set up their kidddie tent and spent most of the afternoon in there is was so cozy and warm. Eventually it got too hot, luckily by than the heat was back on.

Your freezer will also insulate from the cold. Perhaps, you could put your water bottles in it. Perhaps you could add a bottle or two of hot water to add warmth. I have used canning jars and spaghetti sauce jars to hold hot water. I have seen instant pots at thrift stores. I use mine as a humidifier: add water and set on warmer setting. Humid air retains heat better than dry air. Infrared heat is good for drafty spaces because it heats objects not air. Currently Amazon has one for $65. An electric blanket or mattress pad doesn’t draw much wattage esp if you can get a 12v blanket which usually sell at truck stops. Advantage is blanket also can be used as seat heater. I know all this would be expensive; see what is affordable for you.

There are 'self heating' pet beds available on Amazon, i have two of them that I put on my bed and they are great for keeping me warm in my unheated house over the past 3 winters.

[@DiasFrugalLife]

That’s great to know thank you! 😊

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

@DiasFrugalLife also if you can find teddy bear, or polar, fleece bedding, that's great for keeping you warm at night.

[@GinaKayLandis]

​@@Siobhan_ShivaunThe heated pet beds sound like a great idea!

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

@@GinaKayLandis they are! Don't need electricity, and they keep me warm all night in sub zero temps

[@cherylbois606]

I had this happen to one winter couldn't afford heat so slept on couch with blankets and a heater sad

[@moondg66]

here is a easy cheap way to heat any space .. a can of Crisco veg shortening , three long stem candles , place the candles inside the shortening and light .. this will burn for almost a month and can heat up a small space and give you some heat . might buy a few container of shortening and candles to create more heat in a area. hope this helps .

Keep the faith! Cheering you on! 🙏🙏🙏
