Why would you choose to live in a place that's so cold? If you're nomadic why wouldn't you go somewhere warmer? This makes no sense to me.

[@dfjulesful]

Alcohol doesn't actually keep you warm it increases your risk of hypothermia

[@jturtle5318]

It increases peripheral circulation, which can protect against frostbite when you pass out drunk in a snowbank.

[@wagner9050]

Yeah! Big Time! Since freezing temp of Alky•hol WAY Lower than what our bodies designed to take... Whatz Gonna Happen When someone takes a large swill of booze that's @ ROOM TEMP... say -20°F... & that ultra-cold liquid makes its way to One's stomach. They consider that That could cause their heart to stop?! Get a tiny metal flask designed for booze Then keep as close to your skin as possible: a chest pocket of an inner worn garment?.

[@kingofgrooveness]

Depends on how much you drink. Just a little bit? No hypothermia. Too much? Hypothermia

[@k.i.s.s..]

Buddy, if I feel warmer from alcohol, then it keeps me warm. Don't give me that science crap to tell me how I fell lol

[@christinarobleto1786]

Why not be a snowbird & drive down to FL in the winter & go north in the summer?

[@wasedrtfgy]

alcohol can be dangerous to consume in freezing temperatures! it gives you the feeling of being warm because it is a vasodilator, and pulls your blood to your skin/extremities, and away from your core where you need it most. be safe! :)

@@kokothegreat5583 while it’s not fun to think about and the OP might’ve been kidding, alcohol has, unfortunately, played a part in countless of hypothermia-related deaths because the individuals don’t know how cold they actually were until it was too late [by that time, things were turning black and falling off]).

What a cool snowsuit , I’ve never seen one like that before , thanks for the interesting videos . Do you ever get lonesome ? When I lived in AZ Snowbird Canadians used to band together in motor home convoys ( 3 or 4 ) . It was safer traveling together , especially going down into Mexico .

[@jimkelly4214]

Canadians are smart.

[@HeyItsCharlie]

Another thing, if you can find them is the hand/body warming pack thingys idk what they're called but you basically just open them and they heat up and stay warm. Also when we went fall/winter camping my mom would give us a baked potato for our pocket. Weird af I know! But it WAS warm 🤷🏻‍♀️

You can warm up the windshield with that hair dryer. I live in an apartment and I have a 100 ft extension cord and a hair dryer. And every year where I live, at least twice a year we end up with thick ice. So I end up out there couple hours before work with a hair dryer. I warm up the edges of the driver side door so I can get it open. Then I take the ice off the mirrors with the hair dryer. Then I get in the car (close the door on the hair dryer cord not the extension cord) and melt the ice off the windshield with the hair dryer, from inside.

[@deborahhanna9126]

Ok i'll add 2 or 3 things: 1. line your windows with bubblewrap. 2. Hang a heavy curtain behind the front seating area. You can direct the heat where you are. 3. Hang a heavy curtain around your bed- it is so much easier to conserve heat in a small space. 4. Put some command strips near the ceiling above your bed so you can slide in a thick piece of corrugated cardboard for sleeping. (Something you can paint pretty and hide flat on your bed area when not in use.

You need a sleeping bag rated for -20 or -35. They cost about $140. If you sleep in a bag rated for say -20 and it's -20 outside you will be toasty warm. They work great. You won't want to get out of bed in the morning and step into -20 degree weather though.
