Ever had to deal with a power blackout during the hot summer months? Then you know just how important keeping cool can be.
Over on The Good Survivalist we found a great tip to save you money and keep you cool:
Seems every year people die due to heat. Keeping your home cool in the summer can be very expensive if you use your air conditioner. This air conditioner is very simple to make, and can be made in a few minutes if you are handy.Even if you are not handy you’ll be able to make one of these DIY air conditioners. One of the nice things about this air conditioner is that it will give you up to 6 hours of coolness. This thing works so well you may need to put on a sweatshirt! To make one of these babies you need a few simple tools, a couple of 5 gallon buckets, along with a few other items. Everything is shown in the video.
So many pop up ads on iPhone you can’t watch it.
Useless when ya run out of ice….

powers out remember. so go get ice put it in a condom stick it up your u do the math
All the haters must not know what it’s like to sweat. If you watch the video the guy made, he runs the fan on a solar panel (no electricity). The Facebook page “Truth and Action” made the comment about the power being out, not the guy making the video. Looks like you could freeze 2 or 3 gallon jugs of water and alternate them and probably keep a small place cool all summer for pretty cheap since a fan uses minimal power. Luckily I’m not in need of that, but if I was, I’d have one or two.

Yup. We actually have 2 that we made. Lots of supplies left over too. It HAS helped. We can’t put an ac in any of our windows and don’t have central ac. Only fans. Was soooo hot. Had to so something so we made two of them. It wasn’t all crazy cold like an ac, but it definitely helped get through the super bad days. We keep two 1gal. jugs in the freezer and changed them out every 4-5 hours. I personally love these ghetto air conditioners! It helps.
