Huh.

I'm actually about to climb into my homeless cocoon

Just shook up like 8 hand warmers to start and threw them into my sleeping bag. Just trying to find the will to get in it. This was a good reminder better now than later. Got my battery packs. Like 30+ hand warmers. Toe warmers. Electric blanket. Ejected bag liner. All m blankets. Ifht ight brb

Edit: So far so good. Pain in the ass at first. Zipper broke the other day so extra care has to be taken to fold my sleeping bag. Probably get a new one or some tape or something. Let's in the slightest breeze so gonna arrange the outer most layer one more time

Edit 2: ahh warm. Hopefully tonight goes fast

I am sorry you were ever in a situation that has caused you to feel like you cannot trust shelters.

Maybe this list, or the wonderful comments left by others, can help someone.

Please stay warm.

Burrrr it's OK. Inside my cocoon. Even a few seconds outside feels unbearable

I opened my window for a minute and my breath got caught in my throat. Sending you warm thoughts, friend.

Im good. Need more hand warmers for tonight but then its supposed to go back to """normal""" or how it has been. usually 15-30.

I am hoping to deploy my solar panel today since the sun is out...if the ice on my back windshield relents

I made it. The hand warmers in my socks are real mvps. They are still a little warm this morning when most others are solid cold.

I'll tell you I don't want to do what again without twice as many 🥶
