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.
Made one…Lined it with Styrofoam to keep the ice cold longer…works fine…lot cheaper than air conditioner..

Great idea 🙂 Junior Munoz
I’m so sick of seeing this post that claims that you can build a $454 air conditioner for $15. There’s no comparison. It will never ever work as good as an air conditioner. If the power goes out how you you going to make ice? Where are you gonna plug it in with no power? This post should be titled how to not completely sweat you balls off when you go camping. I made one for that purpose only. It works very mediocre.
Does not work made it followed all the steps left it on all night did not change temp at all
Add salt water around the milk jug about mid jug full, it might last longer and be a little colder.

Well makes no sense if you have a power outage and you have no power generator!
