This isn't completely /out/ related but I figured you guys would have the best ideas.
I contract at an unheated factory this winter and we don't have an indoor breakroom. I get to spend breaks in my car. The average coldest it get a here in southern Indiana is in the teens in the dead of winter overnight which is the shift I work. How do I stay warm without running my heater and wasting gas?

tl;dr Have to spend breaks at work in car overnight. How to stay warm without running heater?

Answers you'll get on out include: Wool, merino wool, synthetics, down, fleece and space blankets (kek).

Wear layers, avoid cotton, invest in a couple sodium acetate or battery powered handwarmers.

Wtf kind of place doesn't have a cozy breakroom?

I'd quit that job and find a better one. Fuck that shit.

Get a hammock. Lots of threads here with good choices if you know how to read

Do you have leather seats? Leather seats will suck the life out of you in the winter, use either a sleeping bag, a towel or blanket to insulate between yourself and the seat.

Trust me I've slept in my car many times, and I wished I had cloth seats every time.

I put a 12v interior car warmer in my truck, ran an extentsion chord through my firewall to connect it with my block heater. So now everything I plug in my truck at night, this little bad boy gets going and my windows are clear when I wake up, and gets rid of the chill in the air as well. Try finding one.

That doesn't sound OSHA compliant, m8.

Half of the things in your pic are a literal what.

What you need is a good old woollen blanket. It will keep you warm while you wait (don't expect to sleep) on your chair and if one day you have a fire on your car, it will stop it without causing the damage of a powdered extinguisher.

Also, get some water and find a way to keep it at more than 0°c, and some caned food and plastic one-use forks.

Now, if you find a way to be completely horizontal, you can have a real night of sleep.
My favourite way is with 3 bed quilt like pic related. One is the mattress, one is the pillow and the hat so your head stay warm and the warmest is the quilt.

That pretty much sums up "The Art of Manliness".
