I guess they were more acclimated to it in those days

We are all really spoiled.

When SHTF we are going to have to learn and adapt very fast

“When SHTF we are going to have to learn and adapt very fast”

I have to adapt “very fast” when a hurricane comes through and there is no power for days in extreme heat. I have water bottles with fans on them, spray the water with the fan on and the ambient temperature around me drops 20 points. Also have battery fans to be able to sleep fairly well at night.

Without those two types of cooling, I would have been miserable after Ike. It just takes a little planning to adapt to changes. When it actually happens is not the time to begin to think about it.

I agree that we who grew up without a/c were more acclimated but this was a 23 day old infant. I’m betting they stopped for something lunch/gas and left the baby in the car.
