Heating ideas on the fly...

[BawBae]

I ran across this in the past hot season as I was researching terra cotta for cooling purposes:

What I have been doing this fine, fine cold season is using one of my 500W halogen work lamps in my closed-up bedroom, turned on for an hour before I turn in.

I am using a slow cooker on the high setting. Fill it with water and it will go all night. I do not know thw wattage, but it is quite warm and also outs off a small amount of steam. Keeps the bedroom allmost toasty.

A lit candle and a can of baked beans......get serious. Geothermal is the only way to go!

We plug the iron in and both sit holding our hands around it....and on a different setting it doubled as a steam shower.

Its hot again today, and look at all those hats coats scarves that people bought....never to be seen again.

Tried letting the dog sleep under the duvet with us to warm the bed up. Woke up to a pi$$ soaked sheets & too many hairs on the pillow. Dog said "sod this, ain't sleeping with him again"

How about using a hair dryer for a quick warm Up

Way back when I was a scout leader camping in the cold weather.

Some times in snow we would have the kids wear a toque and a clean pair of socks.

Most of the heat loss at night goes out the top of the head.

Also clean socks have no moisture in them and will help keep the feet warm.

Eat some cruciferous veggies in the daytime and you will have the fuel you need for a dutch oven. Just don't let too much escape too soon and don't lift the covers unless it's an emergency.

Did the trick in the changing room during yesterday's shoot. The object on top doing the radiating is a big ol' reclaimed heat sink from an old Mac computer.

Usually the flannel PJ's work. Too cold now.

Sweatpants and a Hoodie.

Always wear warm socks.

Maybe pull out the old sleeping bag, but it doesn't fit two. The trick used to be take two sleeping bags and zip together. Good Times.

Fill a large pot with water and place it on a hot plate. Let the water come to a boil and let it keep boiling and the steam will take the chill out of the air.

Get your computer to do something repetitive and meaningless like logging on and viewing the latest pizza thread on ThiaVisa and leave it running all night?

Tip #13:

Before turning in, avoid any disagreement with your other half at all costs.

About sweatpants, sweatshirts or "sweats". It is an Americanism referring to the thick, 100 %cotton leggings and pullover shirts and hoodies commonly worn during athletic activities. On our East Coast they are often called "Champeens" (Champions being a brand name) Travon Martin was murdered in Sanford, FL whilst wearing a hoodie. Nobody in USA without a high level university education has ever heard of a "jumper". A jumper cable however is something one uses to start the battery of one's motorcar when it has lost it's charge. Jumpers are called "sweaters" in our country. During Christmas time we are compelled to wear ridiculous (Reindeer, Satan Claus ) examples of such, especially when hand knitted for us by female family members.

I'm still tying to find my socks. Haven't worn any for 5 years but they have to be around here somewhere.
