I thought a "toboggan" was a sled-type of thing you RIDE... not wear!!

[@teddie_schaefer1963]

They were considered toboggan hats then it was shortened to just toboggan.

[@rick454p]

Growing up we always called them stocking caps, it wasn't until I went to boot camp and someone referred to a beanie, and all I could think of was the hats with a propeller.

[@robertkolesar6381]

Here in Canada we use toques to keep our head warm and we use a toboggan to move things around on the snow or slide down Hills

Beanie and toboggan are slang names for a knit watch cap. Beanie is used in the north and toboggan is used in the south. However, knit watch cap is a more universal name for this headwear.

A toboggan is a simple sled traditionally used by children. It is also a traditional form of transport used by the Innu and Cree of northern Canada. In modern times, it is used on snow to carry one or more people (often children) down a hill or other slope for recreation. Designs vary from simple, traditional models to modern engineered composites. A toboggan differs from most sleds or sleighs in that it has no runners or skis (or only low ones) on the underside. The bottom of a toboggan rides directly on the snow. Some parks include designated toboggan hills where ordinary sleds are not allowed and which may include toboggan runs similar to bobsleigh courses.[1] Toboggans can vary depending on the climate and geographical region. Such examples are Tangalooma (Australia) where toboggans are made from Masonite boards and used for travelling down steep sand dunes at speeds up to 40 km/h (25 mph).

A toboggan is a sled. My usage of gas goes up around 20% in winter but my bill goes up around 400% because they charge more for gas in the winter than the rest of the year.

[@mr.soundtek5793]

Hello from Indiana. Yes we used to call knitted caps toboggans. I've never heard that style referred to as beanies. That was some eighties collector items. We just call then ski caps now. We have a water source heat pump and have our own well but Electic cost for the last month is $284.

[@ranseposey999]

Consider a dual fuel genset (gas/propane). You could tie it into your main house propane tank. You will lose 5-10% overall power from gas to propane, but you will not have to haul gas except for emergencies AND in my area in Texas, propane is cheaper. Depending on genset, consumption is about the same.

[@stevenhartley1350]

In the uk (well the north of England) we often call them bobble hats or Wooly hats (if made from wool that is)! Anyway hope you all had a blessed Christmas and hope you have a Loving, healthy, Peaceful and Prosperous New Year 😊. May 2025 bring you all fun and Adventurous journeys to come 😊.

[@brettroberts3551]

Your bees look great. I've raised bees for many years and overwintering is always a challenge. I also have never treated my bees with any antibiotics or medications. Its a hard way to go but eventually you get stronger colonies. Never had any diseases. Varrora mites and hive beetles are there but a strong hive cures a lot of problems. Love your show.

[@juliejohnson9531]

Do you feed your bees? If so what container do you use? I’ve been using mason jars but I’m considering a one-gallon bucket.

[@JimSmithBrazil]

I live in Santa Catrina Brazil so winter is much warmer. It does get down to the low 40's and upper 30's a few times. Only heat is a wood stove, single pain glass, clay tiles for a roof no insulation. Electric bill converted is about $80 usd.

Our elec bill is about $160 - $164 / mo in the winter. We are with a Co-Op Elec Company - so much cheaper than the other company in our area. We do have a lot of outages - so want to put in a solar backup. Or maybe go to solar and have the grid a backup. Not quite sure yet which way would be best. We use propane for heat though.

My natural gas bill can vary dramatically from $75.00 in the summer time to $275.00 in the winter time, but we use gas for heating the house the water, the BBQ and the cloths dryer as well as two fireplaces. My electric use is opposite the gas as it is used a lot in the summertime for air conditioning and can run from $100.00 in the winter to over $200.00 in the summer depending on how hot it gets.

In Canada we call those hats 'touque'. Pronounced two, with a 'k' on the end.

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

I am in Indiana and my family always called it a "toboggan", I will be 70 in the new year. But doing research, I have found that the word Toboggan has only been in use since 1929, and was a term used by those who road toboggans in the winter. Interesting it says it was a popular term in South USA. Then I did a little more research and the term "beanie" came into use in the early 1900s as a knitted cover for your "bean", slang for head.

[@ChaosTheoryPics]

We run a 24k mini split in a 1800sqft home in northern Maine and our bill in December was $459. $160 is a bargain for full house power. We are going off grid this year. Just bought a 13.5k generator and have two eco flow pro’s for 240volts, but will get the EG inverters and batteries so we are totally off grid.

[@MrNiceGuyMEGA08]

I grew up calling it a toboggan, but I now call it a knitted hat. (My northern friends pointed out that a toboggan can be a sled, and its easier to compromise with a different slang than to worry about what to call it.)

[@kermitfrog8340]

Toboggan is the actual snow sled the hat is a tuque but calling it a tobagganing hat was easier than using both toboggan and tuque. Beenie is also another name for it.

[@kentuckybluegrassliving7718]

It is a toboggan and a beanie depending on where you grew up. My dad was military and I grew up between Washington state, Oklahoma California, Florida and Louisiana. I totally understand what people are talking about no matter what they call it. I crochet. To me a toboggan is thicker and sticks up with a pompom on the stop. A beanie is more form fitting without a pompom.

It's a beanie or a tuque (pronounced "toook"). A toboggan is a long narrow sled used for the sport of coasting downhill over snow or ice. It typically is made of a lightweight board that is curved upward and backward at the front. However, strangely, often Southern U.S. folks wearing woolly hats to keep warm in the freezing but fun conditions in which toboggan riders started to call their wool hats “toboggan hats”, but since at least 1929, that second word “hats“ has lazily been dropped. In the warmer American south snow is rare.

To calculate the cost of electricity that you consume, you'll need to know what the total kilowattage consumed during the given amount of gasoline. Divide the amount of gallons by the kilowattage used.
