They make sleeping bags rated down to -20F that don't require a heater or battery pack. I slept in my van off and on for year and spent plenty of nights below freezing, down to single digits with no issues. It has a section designed to cover your head, which is necessary when sleeping in such low temperatures. And regardless of how cold it was it was always toasty in my sleeping bag. Now, waking up in the morning and willing yourself out of the sleeping bag to get dressed is a whole different story. Going from a warm bed straight into below freezing is not a fun experience. 😅

@@yourneighborhoodxenos No, dystopian = Having the facilities to publish this advice on social media while also needing (or choosing) to sleep inside your vehicle, for an audience that may have internet access while being homeless. Regardless of his own situation, giving "survival info" that people can acess from the comfort of their own secure, heated home, is slightly distopian. We live in a society where people may be able to access the internet before they have access to a secure home. It's probably easier for a lot of people to ask their friend for their smartphone, or to go to a library, or to buy a burner phone, than it is for them to find a safe roof to live under. Hell, you could even buy a gym membership and have a locker and a shower well before you could afford rent.

After 20yrs living as a vagabond in the states(40 of them) this is what i learned being under the stars, tent and vehicle: Emergency blankets under all blankets reflect the cold air away from you. In cold damp climates. Cut the blanket into strips. Put in pockets or under clothing or boot covers just ensure there is fabric between the material and skin. So theres no condensation. Line the inside of car doors by removing the paneling. Make sure to crack a window to allow air flow.

Just some, hopefully, constructive criticism: The music was a tad too loud. Was kinda hard to hear the voiceover.

Something else you can think about is refillable hand warmers from Zippo. I think the average 24 hours when you put a double shot of fuel.

[@chrizmcvain5760]

I remember doing this. Not like he did. But I lived out the gym, that way I can shower and use the bathroom (rip ultimate fitness). But I remember being bundled up to stay warm. Now I'm comfortable and warm in my own house. RIP 2006

Link for this usb electric blanket?

[@RichardHarlos]

pain wrote, _"Link for this usb electric blanket?"_ A better link would be someplace you could learn about insulation, and how a well-insulated small interior holds heat extremely well. That way, instead of a baseless cynicism, you could become someone who's well-informed enough to form a legitimate opinion instead of just throwing shade on things you don't understand, and can't be bothered to learn about. It's not as easy as being a baseless cynic, but the benefits are much, much better over time. Learn to think. Don't be ignorant.

@@iRxyanDestinygtaandmoreL wrote, _"you have so much time on your hand"_ Not really. Funny that your impression is that I spend a lot of time on here. I don't. Maybe you're just so addicted to short form content that 'normal' responses seem to you like some unusually involved time sink. It's not. It's *normal.* Stay away from anything you have to swipe through... it's rotting your brain.

@@RichardHarlos yeah tbh i do agree with your last statement

Been there, done that. But only because the state of Michigan demanded me to! Oh and don't ask the government for any help, they prefer to set you up with petty, selfish caseworkers.

There was a story of one dude that did this and lost his toes because he was asleep and got frost bite

[@richardpost6720]

One dude?

Crumpled up newspaper stuffed between your base layer and the hoodies/sweaters also works.

[@stargeezer57]

I've lived in my tent in the Blue Ridge in winter one year. I worked outside then, too, so I had lots of great clothes to keep me warm.

[@debimilton72]

I have always wanted to have a set up like this, it looks so cozy

[@Bulltrapaskslap]

It's not lmfao

[@isab4lla]

do u keep the car running over night or do u crack a window to breath?

[@Bloodycub666]

Old cars are pretty badly insulated they breath them selfs

[@frankhughes5702]

Just a little tip you can burn a candle inside the car and it will get toasty warm fast! Of course you want to crack a window for air and obviously don't leave it burning while sleeping.

[@Eternal_11_Sasha]

In wisconsin, I always had duck/quail blankets. Really keeps you toasty!

[@richardpost6720]

How do you forget to change your battery when your only asignment for the day is to charge your battery

[@imdilyn]

This crap is not normal. If you can afford an apartment get one, a house get one, or even a dang trailer. This is what the *”higher ups”* want for us, to live in our cars or to be homeless. It’s not normal, not even close.

[@commandercody5066]

all those options are way to expensive nowadays for most people.

[@imdilyn]

@@commandercody5066 bruh I hold down a 1 income household (apartment 3 bed 2 bathroom) consisting of my wife, son, and daughter! And we’ve been fine and the income is my income.

​@@imdilyn not a bad way to live while saving up to buy a place. Good on your for providing for your family, but yeah owning a place is super expensive can't rly fault this dude for trying to save money by not paying rent to a landlord

[@imdilyn]

@@julianjaimes197 thank you brother, I’m not gonna lie, it gets hard sometimes but my wife and I enjoy life as we can at 22 & 21 with 2 babies under the age of 2. I don’t foresee any home buying soon because crap is so expensive, but one day in the future but personally I get your last statement but I couldn’t imagine my life that way At least with my family.. 😪

I am happy that you wear socks when sleeping because too many people don't wear them

[@user-tp3rs6qs8w]

I admire your determination to weather this temporary setback. Good luck!

[@harrycatful]

I have that battery pack and never knew it could charge a blanket, thanks for the tip👍

[@claytongross5657]

Here's a cheap way of doing this as well. When I was sleeping in my car and the temperature dropped to "Holy shit that's cold" levels I started using the l cheap emergency blankets, the shinny ones. I would basically put the blankets against all surface area of the inside of my car as like a barrier. Put a few of those up inside your vehicle. Just a heads up, of done correctly, it can raise the inside temperature of your car dramatically. They reflect body heat, so if you prevent the heat from leaving the car, it stays. Also, you might have to run your car and use the defrost to suck out possible condensation build up and you can run your heater for a minute to also build up the heat inside. Stay safe 👍

[@queeffairy]

I have 2 extra wide 4 season bags and a blanket all I do is layer them. Granted that's me winter camping 😅 I hope you stay safe and warm your set up is brilliant.

[@chrishansen8181]

My time in the army when it was below freezing I slept on the cold forest floor with nothing but a single sleeping bag and the clothes I was already wearing for the past couple weeks to keep me warm while freezing rain poured all night so I had to be specifically positioned on an incline so I didn't accidentally drown while trying to sleep and cuddled my weapon to make sure it didn't get damaged or lost in the pitch black as I didn't have a light source.

[@moonbeam7815]

Always a win to find a product that works as it should, that justifies its price +that lasts longer than it took to make the money to buy it. Curious as to the actual blanket. Where from? Background music fiercely working against the video!...

[@jessicaheger1880]

If you can get reflectix insulated material and cut to size of each window it will help a lot too. ❤
