Life Hack: Heat Your Tent or Small Apartment

"BACK STORY"

I live in a 1 bedroom apartment, and was hit with a $250 Electric Bill. I know what your thinking "how the hell?"

I was blown away, and was thinking of ways to cut costs, and found that it was my heater that was the culprit.

Sometimes Your Heater Will Break, or Not Want to Turn Off:

When I lived in Ohio back east, my family and I hovered around a kerosene heater in the living room. to stay warm.

And slept in our coats and clothes in the living room at night, until the heater was replaced.

Solution for My Apartment, Saved Us 50% of Our Electric Bill

Food Dehydrator use.jpg

Solution:

I pulled out our trusty food dehydrator from the pantry,

and made some beef jerky while I waited to see how long it would take to heat our living room. lol

Results:

It took 2 hours to go from 60*F to 72*F in our living room and stable out.

I did this everyday from 2 pm to 10 pm before bed

My Wife Is Pleased, and So Is My Wallet

We currently run it empty, since I dehydrated most of our canned fruit, and Pasta Sauces dry.

With the extra money we saved last month, i took my wife out to dinner, and am neck deep in Jerky :)
