As parts of the United States prepare for record-breaking cold temperatures, a YouTube video showing an alternative way to heat your home might come in handy.
The video, which we first found on Why Don't You Try This, was made by journalist and boat-owner Dylan Winter. All you need to make this do-it-yourself heater are tea lights, a loaf tin, and two clay flower pots.
You can find tea light candles at pretty much any drug or hardware store. A pack of 50 is only $5.99 at CVS, for instance.
In the video, Winter places four tea lights into a loaf tin and covers them with a small flower pot that's turned upside down. He then covers the drain hole on the bottom of the small pot with the metal casing from one of the tea lights. The small pot is covered by a bigger flower pot and the hole is not covered.

Set a man on fire and he will be warm the rest of his life.
You are BAAAAAAAD!:)
How ‘bout giving birth while you were dragging the teepee or collecting buffalo chips? With a toddler in tow.
When the women needed to fight with the men, they would kill their children first, to free themselves up.
Thanks, I’ll look into it.
The fake lanterns are safer, though, when you have young grandchildren visiting.
Good golly - they would kill their children so they could fight? Definitely Utopian./ not.
I visited a town in Kansas when I doing genealogical research. The local museum was very interesting. The RR had gone through there, lots of bad guys killed in the OK Corral, I suspect. There was an Indian section with a sign that said, “Do not ever think the Indians were anything but savages. They skinned people alive….’ with a lot of elaboration on exactly what the settlers there had had to deal with. It was a very strong, NOT PC statement. There were lots of photographs, too.
Where was that? I would be interested in seeing if they have a website.
Is there a mine shaft gap?
People know about scalping, but they don’t know that many Indians collected huge piles of body parts, like arms, and kept them in their homes, on display.
Examining a camp after a battle, might reveal guys with things like for example, a dozen right hands, cut off of infants, both white and Indian.
People don’t know that a teenage white captive, who survived the rape and torture on the journey home to the village, might be made the camp whore by her owner, a public sex tool, something which meant she might be raped 6 or 8 times every time she had to go for water or wood.
The Indians were different, being a serial killer torturer was a good thing, to them.
