It's our weekly Saturday night podcast and this week we talk about 9 ways to survive without air conditioning while living off grid. What if your power was turned off without warning? How did people who lived just 50 years deal without AC? How did they stay cool during the hot summers and excruciating humid heat?
The answers might be more simple than you would think.
We also talk about some other articles that came out this week including how to make a rain catch barrel with a trash can. It's important to catch rain during the spring wet season so that you have that water for your garden or other needs during the dryer parts of summer.

A farmer faces a 2.8 million dollar fine in federal court for plowing his own field. Yup the world has turned upside down when you can't even turn the dirt on your own land for planting without first getting a government permit.

Great podcast. I grew up with no air conditioning too.
I do agree when you drink a cool beverage, your body turns on it's furnace to heat it up to 98.6 degrees. So you don't win in the long run.
Steem is not a different spelling for steam. The creator of steem/steemit @dantheman mention it coming form 'self esteem'. But I never really dug into the meaning.
Interesting....self esteem...but I think Ned and Dan will enjoy Jaimie's article when it comes out.
Dose Jaimie have a steem account so we can check out the article?
It will be posted here probably later in the week. Trying to pick out the pictures I'm going to use right now.
We didn't get air conditioning until i was a teen ager...in Texas.
somehow I survived.
Humanity somehow did ok up till now. :)
didn't have any old white men back then..other wise we would have all died...
and besides...carbon and globul wurming..
and stuff...
it's all Bush's fault.
oh wait..I meant Trump.
lol Funny!
This show was fantastic and covered so many topics last night! I almost missed a un family friendly word or two! Upvote and re-steemit!
Man I ordered the gas spouts as soon as I saw the video you did on You Tube. Was one of the best things I did. They work great! I'm not having any issues now like I was. They sent me coupons for more. I did use the coupon code you gave us. Thank you so much. Solved a lot of the frustration issues with these. The Achocha seeds I got from you still growing. Slow but steady!
Give them something to climb!
I've grown up without air conditioning, the only times I've had it was in the east coast. Here in So Cal we have the ocean breezes but it still gets hot enough where these tips will be put to good use!
I grew up with no air conditioning. Yes on a dairy farm it was hot but we seemed to get everything done no matter how hot it was. upvoted and resteemed.
LOL stay in the shade. Seems obvious but I can see how the elderly could get confused and overheated. As for the best locations to homestead I believe you are correct. The Ozarks seem to be the best and in fact it seems a lot of people say they feel they are being called to the Ozarks for what is coming in the near future. If I could get my wife onboard to do it we would move. Family here in Virginia and she doesn't want to separate. Thanks for the podcast!
Thanks for watching and listening!
Yeah well mock A/C all you want but when your a woman in menopause you sure HAVE to have A/C or DIE!!! If not, those around me during a hot flash may just die ;) LOL. Sure hope Jamie doesn't suffer from them when her time comes. P.S. I'm in Tucson AZ and its going to be 118 this week. Ugh. Thinking about moving to AR.
Yeah it never gets that hot here and plus we have a nice cold creek to go sit in when she gets hot. There are a lot of studies that diet changes really help with menopause. check it out! Thanks for watching! You mean a lot!
