Amish's 25 BANNED Heating Hacks from the 60s That Scientists Now Say Were GENIUS

🔗 The Winter Ledger — twenty weeks from first frost to the mud, one job for the house and one for the people each week: windows, doors, attic, basement, pipes, and the night the power goes out. It comes inside The Complete Winter Library: https://eliyodersecrets.com/warm 🔗 The Warm Room Letter — one thing a week to stay warmer for less: https://eliyodersecrets.com/letter Watch next — The $10 Blanket That Heats Itself All Winter: https://youtu.be/VawpHwuHcPQ A red clay brick, hot off the kitchen stove, wrapped in a grey wool sock at the foot of an iron bed. A clay flower pot turned upside down over a few candles. By 1960, a modern American home was not supposed to have either one. One of them is real heating genius, and scientists have now measured why. The other can set your kitchen on fire. This video tells the truth about both — and twenty-three more. Nobody passed a law against a hot brick. These habits were not outlawed. They were embarrassed out of the house by an advertising campaign that began in March of 1956, called Live Better Electrically. The video gives you the name, the date, and what the campaign was selling. In this video, all twenty-five: the hot brick, the soapstone, the hot water jug that costs about three cents a night, the blanket under the sheet, the bed curtain, the bed on the inside wall, the drapes at dusk, the door snake, the one warm room — and the last one, the foot warmer at your chair, which a laboratory at the University of California at Berkeley tested in a real office through a whole winter. Safety first: if you are older, keep the room you live and sleep in at sixty-eight degrees or warmer — everything here is for making sixty-eight feel warm, not for turning the heat off. A brick, a stone or a hot water bottle goes in the bed half an hour before you do, wrapped, and comes out when you get in. Never against bare skin; with diabetes or poor circulation, ask your doctor first. The candle-and-flower-pot heater does not heat a room and fire departments have traced fires to it: leave the pot in the garden. Never heat a room with a gas oven, charcoal or a camp stove, and keep a battery carbon monoxide alarm near every bedroom. Tell me in the comments: which one of these did your grandmother do, and what state are you in?
