Sergiy Ivanchuk shared how to stay warm without heating: 5 life hacks.

According to ТСН: Sergiy Ivanchuk, a Ukrainian opera singer, shared effective ways to keep warm using improvised materials tested by Ukrainians on his TikTok.

Create a 'warm fortress' with blankets

If you have a tent, it is the ideal option for preserving heat. But if you don't have a tent, you can create something similar with improvised materials:

1. Take chairs and drape several blankets over them to create a 'tent'.

2. You can also organize a blanket structure on the bed.

This method allows you to retain your body heat by creating a small insulated area.

Use hot water

Hot water bottles are a simple way to warm up. Pour hot water into bottles and place them in a sleeping bag or under blankets. This 'local heater' will quickly warm you up, especially while sleeping.

Heat from candles

A candle can be an additional source of heat if used correctly:

1. Place a candle under a clay pot — the heat from the flame will warm the space under the blankets.

2. If you don't have a pot, place the candle on a metal or ceramic tray, and place stones nearby for even heat distribution.

Important! Always adhere to fire safety rules: do not leave the candle unattended and keep it away from flammable objects.

Don’t forget to ventilate

Even in cold weather, it's important to ventilate the room:

• Short 5-10 minute ventilations help avoid the accumulation of carbon dioxide and maintain healthy air.

• It's better to ventilate before sleeping so that the air in the room remains fresh.

Additional tips

1. Wear several layers of warm clothing.

2. Use socks and hats in the room — this is a more comfortable way to retain warmth.

3. Move around and do light exercises to maintain blood circulation.

Even without electricity and heating, you can create a cozy and warm atmosphere in your apartment. Use blankets, hot water, and candles, follow safety rules, and don’t forget to ventilate. These simple life hacks will help you comfortably endure the cold weather.
