Staying Warm without Power

Have you thought about how you would stay warm if the power goes off in January and doesn't come back on? Do you have a generator or a kerosene heater and a supply of fuel? Do you have a fireplace and a supply of firewood? If you don't have any of those or you run out of fuel, then you may want to resort to long johns and layers of clothes. I personally do not like to have on a lot of bulky clothes since I find them to be uncomfortable.

Fortunately, we live in a farming community and some of the stores cater to the farmer. One such store near us is a gas station/restaurant/hardware/convenience store. I think they have been in business for about 50 years. You can tell this business caters to the farmer because the only clothes they carry are coveralls and overalls both non-insulated & insulated with matching jackets. My wife and I bought the Insulated Bib Overall because we felt the Insulated Coverall's may get too hot for us. We would rather put on light layers on our upper body if we need it. A nice feature of the overalls is the legs unzip almost to the hip which allows you to put them on or take off with shoes or boots on. They are also weather resistant which is important for staying warm.

If you are comfortable with the clothes you already have, that's great. They are predicting a cold winter so it is always better to be prepared.
