“All any fan (let alone battery fans) do in 114 heat is blow that hot air in your face. Know the feeling on your face when you open a hot oven? That is what walking outside feels like here in the summer.”
I have used them in hot Texas August/September after hurricanes which took away power for days. With the regular battery fans, I used a wet cloth to wet my face, neck and arms and turned on the fan. That reduces the ambient air heat a number of degrees and cools me. I also have battery misting fan bottles that sprays the water with the fan going on the bottle and that cools me.
Days is different than 3 months. Besides, we don’t live in a third world country! Why should we have to live like we do? I have been in Mexico where they had holes in the roof to let the cooking fire smoke out too. Why do I have to live that way?
I am not a prepper. I have about 1 mnths worth of food and toilet paper stored. I figure after that we are all totally screwed anyway. Preppers are starting to remind me of sanctimonious Prius drivers with their ‘I can survive anything’. Why the heck should we have to?!?
