Reddit reviews Duck Brand Indoor 5-Window Shrink Film Insulator Kit, 62-Inch x 210-Inch, 286217

Heat-shrink window sealer kits, at your local hardware store. They cost between $10 - $30, depending on the number/size of your windows. You run the double-sided tape around your window frame, stick the film to it, then shrink the film tight with a air dryer to make it basically invisible. Worth every penny.

This stuff - there are lots of different brands

Polycro makes a good ground sheet. Here's a good source

Absolutely. They actually make window plastic kits.

Yeah, thats not how things are done here at all! If you have drafty windows you either pay out your ass for heating bills or you cover them in shrink wrap.

You can get it at Home Depot, Crappy Tire, etc. The tape won't remove paint, and you use a hair dryer to tighten the plastic sheeting, think shrink wrap. If you don't particularly care for the light, I've also stuck some Styrofoam sheeting (also available at the depot) in before using this over top.

I lived in a poorly built farm house a while back. It had an electric furnace and an air exchanger, not to mention a fireplace. That was a trifecta of useless heating options, our hydro was running around $700/m and we couldn't bring the house above 60 on a nice day. There was a long chat with the landlord, that he didn't like.

Unless your place is old, like pre-50's it's probably a window and door draft problem and not a general wall insulation problem. Though if it's a house the attic insulation may benefit from a top up. (Don't get involved in that, it's at minimum incredibly unpleasant and at most a way to learn about asbestos.)

So the issue wasn't that the tape that held the two halves together came apart, but rather the tie-out tabs that were stuck to seaming tape came off. It was actually made of one big sheet but the dimension of the polycro were strange such that to make a ~8x10ish tarp you had to cut and rotate the halves. I think it might have come out to 8.25 x 10.5 in the end, and the sheet was like 5.5 x 17 feet long.

In the end it ended up being a great shelter, just not one that I wanted to worry on any more.

If you have old thin windows check into something like this.

If you are camping at a spot directly next to the car, and you have a car like a jeep where you can actually sleep in it comfortably, certainly take advantage of that. It will be more comfortable and you don't exactly lose any sort of experience. The tent is for sleeping only, not for experience gaining or enjoyment. You will still want a pad of some sorts as the bed of the jeep is obviously really firm. If someone looks down on you for doing that, perhaps remind them that camping next to the car is not exactly sporting for an experienced hiker. I am going into a campsite 9 miles in next week as an example, and I'm not what I would call advanced.

I use this as an ultralight cheap groundcloth if you do happen to tent: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NHY1P0/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm trying to find some polycro for a ground sheet. Is something like this what I'm looking for? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NHY1P0/

Your local lowes/home depot will have something similar.

It's basically additional insulation around the windows. This can really help if you're in an older house (or rental) where the windows are old and have air leaks.

Here's an example: https://www.amazon.com/Duck-281504-5-Window-62-Inch-210-Inch/dp/B000NHY1P0

If it's airtight, you're good. Otherwise, spend the few bucks and get a kit. They're cheap:

how many windows you got?, i did an entire house for around 20 bucks with this

the nice thing will be in about 7 months when it's 'this cold' again, it'll be such a relief you'll be out in shorts and driving with the windows down.

get some plastic to shrink around your windows, like this:

you could use that shrink wrap window insulation and just cover the whole thing up. i used this, for one window it would take about 15m and a hair dryer, easy peasy.

I know this is a shitpost, but if you used something like this it would look pretty clean. I use it on my windows during winter and once you shrink it tight it almost looks like glass.

You can put up plastic film made just for drafty windows.

You can easily let a large pot of water simmer on the range top. Add water as required
