Ever had to deal with a power blackout during the hot summer months? Then you know just how important keeping cool can be.
Over on The Good Survivalist we found a great tip to save you money and keep you cool:
Seems every year people die due to heat. Keeping your home cool in the summer can be very expensive if you use your air conditioner. This air conditioner is very simple to make, and can be made in a few minutes if you are handy.Even if you are not handy you’ll be able to make one of these DIY air conditioners. One of the nice things about this air conditioner is that it will give you up to 6 hours of coolness. This thing works so well you may need to put on a sweatshirt! To make one of these babies you need a few simple tools, a couple of 5 gallon buckets, along with a few other items. Everything is shown in the video.
Just fill bucket with Ice and pour it on yourself, cheaper

I tried this as well and didn’t reach the results shown. The question is…if your room is above 80 degrees and you’re pumping hot air into this bucket with 3 decent sized holes how is the air to circulate long enough to cool? It won’t. The air will be less warm than before but insulted or not your ice will melt quickly.
My father-in-law and son just made one of these last week. It worked!
