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.

Dave Haynes you needed one if these last week!
Diana Rangel do this!!
Great idea. You used an electric fan, if power is off should you tell people to use battery powered fan. Misleading. Also, needs ice in bucket.
My god I have not seen a post from Dale in months
Doesn’t work
Seriously. During a power outage people are actually going to run a generator to use a redneck airconditioner? If the powers out and its hot just go skinny dipping like rednecks are meant to do. Do not contribute to global warming!

If the power is out what are you using for power to run this.
Why not release CO2 into a confined space…how could that be harmful to your health?
