11 Dollar Tree Warming Items That'll Be WORTH GOLD in a Winter Power Outage

👉 The Blackout Winter Plan and The Complete Survival Mode Library: https://jhonsurvivalmode.netlify.app/?b=1&... When the power goes out in winter, you don't heat a house — you keep the heat you already have. In this video I walk you through eleven cheap dollar-store items that help you keep one room and one bed warm through a winter power outage, the old-fashioned way, plus the safety rules that matter most. In this video: • Why you pick ONE small room and close it up (and which room to pick) • A clear shower curtain liner as a homemade storm window • Bubble wrap on the glass — the poor man's double glazing • A pool noodle draft stopper for the gap under the door • A spring tension rod and a blanket to turn an open doorway into a wall • Foam floor mats against the cold floor • How to use an emergency (space) blanket the right way — between layers • Fleece throws and why two thin blankets beat one thick one • Knit cap, gloves and dry socks (and the "half your heat through your head" myth) • Hand warmers: never against bare skin, never in bed • The hot water bottle: hot tap water, wrapped, and out of the bed before you sleep • Safe light: LED tea lights, lanterns and batteries instead of candles • When it's time to leave for a warming center (call 2-1-1) • The colonial four-poster bed trick: a small warm space inside a cold room Prices: most Dollar Tree items now cost about $1.25–$1.50, and some larger items $3–$5. Prices vary by store — check the tag. Get the full plan, in the right order — first hour, first night, third day: https://jhonsurvivalmode.netlify.app/?b=1&...

Keep any generator outside, at least 20 feet from doors and windows. Put a battery-powered carbon monoxide alarm in your warm room; if it sounds, or you feel headache, dizziness or nausea, get to fresh air and call 911. Hand warmers and hot water bottles can burn: keep cloth between them and your skin, never sleep with them, and skip hand warmers on your feet if you have diabetes or numb feet. Use LED lights instead of candles. If your home gets too cold or you feel confused or very sleepy, go to a warming center. This video is general information, not medical advice.
