    Good lord. I hate how much of myself I saw in that video 😀

    We got a cold snap the last two weeks of October and I typically refuse to turn the furnace on until at least November (except once in early October to give it a health check for the season). After a summer of the thermostat at 79 degrees, it was a bit jarring to adapt to a 60 degree setting when it started getting cold.

    I’m cold blooded (or whatever means I’m always cold) but I don’t go to all the crazy degrees this guy does. I basically live in my robe, wool socks, toboggan, and finger-less gloves. I work from home these days and have never looked more homeless.

    Bought some USB rechargeable hand warmers last year, and those things are great. I’ll often have a hoodie on under my robe and will throw those in the hoodie pockets to keep my core nice and warm. On the lowest setting, they’ll last all day. They also charge nicely from the solar panels (or from the power banks that have charged from the solar panels).

    I hate excessive bedding and have a hard time falling asleep under that many layers, so I use an electric mattress pad which is fantastic.
