Make your room The Tent. Its easy to do without trying to set up
poles and fabric.

I have a little flip up dome. 30 second installation, IIRC.
CY: Good idea.


If you live in an Electric House..you have another complication or 10,
besides higher costs for power in most of the US.

No, I pay only $44 a month yearround.
CY: That's excellent price.


I need to get one of those nice little terlit seats for a 5gal bucket.
I saw one for $8 somewhere, and I have plenty of 13gal kitchen bags to
line it and cover it in between uses.

Ayup. Kitty litter is cheap and really works to stop the odor.

Happily noted!
CY: Green RV holding tank fluid works well, also.


Plastic sheeting has zero insulation characteristics. A nice big old
sleeping bag from the Goodwill is far better for closing off an
opening.

Airlocks, not insulation.
CY: Heating smaller space is an old, and very good trick. I've done that one
time when my furnace was broken, live in one room.

No, I don't believe in children, pets, or other slaves. gd&r

Slaves? Blink blink...

Yeah, lots of people have kids only to do chores and take their
workload off thir lazy asses. It's sickening.
CY: Also gets more taxpayer dollars from Uncle Sugar.


When I moved in here, there were 240v electric baseboard heaters and
single glazed aluminum framed windows. When the heaters were on, the
floor was at 50, your waist was at 70, and your head was at 95F. Talk
about stratification! The Carrier 96% efficient forced air gas
furnace has proven make things a whole lot more comfy.
CY: Also think ceiling fans. I have gas forced air heat, which is far more
comfortable than portable heaters, or emergency heaters.

However..they have little to zero heat values. A 25 watt applience
bulb puts out more heat than does 25 LEDs no matter what you do.

I was thinking lights. I have the $10 HF heater for very short periods
of use. http://tinyurl.com/844kfvx

I can't use this in the tent, though. http://tinyurl.com/277krkr

CY: Well, use what works.


Coleman fuel is $8 at Walmart. In mid summer it may go to $10ish. And
nearly all the newer Coleman products will burn unleaded gas just

Walmart sells their own house brand of fuel for less and its the same
stuff. Naptha/white gas.

Excellent. I hadn't seen the price come back down, but I haven't
looked in years.
CY: Amazon probably needs haz mat shipping.


Alky stoves are ok, but they dont have the ability to be turned up to
HIGH and heat a room. Which is why I love my SVEA stoves..they burn
damned near anything liquid

I have the old surplus SVEA military model but haven't used it yet.

I'd hesitate to burn it in the same room I wanted to breathe, though.

CY: I hear that. Some stoves do a lot of monoxide.


40oz cans of Nalley Beef Stew were on sale for $2.19 today. I tried
one for dinner and think I may go back for another case of it. 1/3 of
a can filled me up. I can't believe they're getting $10-14 a meal for
MREs now. I had thought to try some before I saw the price. Best
price was $114 for a case of 12. Pass!

CY: I think you're wise to buy grocery food, at those MRE prices.
