I recently joined Crunchy Chicken’s “Freeze Yer Buns” challenge. Why did I join? Because I think its a fun little challenge, how would I deal with the cold if there was an electric shortage or something along those lines? I also think we could save some money. The best part of all is the cooking. Turning on the stove and/or oven and making all those soups and warming apple cider to warm my insides is a very enjoyable activity.
Additionally since we already plan on purchasing a proper mattress I’ve begun looking into getting a canopy bed (used either via ebay or craigslist) so that I can hang some heavy drapes and conserve heat when sleeping. I also use a hot water bottle (where I re-heat the water everynight before going to bed). The goal is to not turn on the heat throughout this winter. We’ll see how long that lasts. So far the temperature has hit the 40s but not freezing.
