Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What temperature do you keep your homes at ?

Seems innocuous enough. Kind of like the plastic potted plant in the corner of the dentist's office.

68 in the winter and 73 in the summer.

Aim for 68/69 year round. If it gets colder no biggie. We typically see how far into the winter we can go before turning the heat on. Usually it hits low 50s before that happens. I can be cold. I can’t be hot.

69 in winter. 71 in summer.

Whatever temp the wife says is not cold or hot. That depends on her mood, what kind of day she had, how much she is moving , how long she will be sitting, and likely a dozen other things over the last 37 yrs. I am starting to figure out how she thinks. By the time I find out exactly, I will be 6' under.

Thermostat is set at 61. I think it may read low by a few degrees. Working outside in below freezing weather all winter keeps the blood pretty thick.

I sleep best when its about 40 degrees, but use a sleeping bag as a blanket, so I am toasty. Probably spent too many nights out camping in my youth. My wife is the type that is always freezing to death, even when its 75 degrees in the house. She's like a cat that is happy when its sleeping on top the radiator.

She always has the thermostat set on the same temp as the oven, or it feels like that to me. If I turn it down, she turns it up... even if that is 50 times a day. When we bought this house, she just had to have a house with a pool, because " she always wanted one. " Yet in 6 years she hasn't been in the pool ONCE. Any time I ask her, why she doesn't go in the pool, her complaint is that "its too cold" for her. So then why did you have to have a pool so bad?
"Because I've always wanted one". That makes sense to her....certainly not to me.

It can be 105 degrees outside, and she still will be sitting in the house, watching TV with a sweater on, and the A/C sitting on 80 degrees.

In Florida I keep it at 72. When I’m in Alabama in the winter I keep my cabin at 65.

winter/cooler weather 58-62 bedroom 65 house. 72 sitting/family room. 5 zone heat, wood stove, fireplace.



summer bedrooms 65, rest of house whatever the housefan, shadey oaktrees, and prevailing wind coming out of the valley permits

66 day

62 night

65 to 72

I rarely look at the thermometer. If it gets too cold, I open the damper and put more wood on the fire. Too warm, close the damper, maybe crack open a window for a while.

The house temp is 75 in the winter.
I don't like wearing many clothes in the house, like moving air. Ceiling fans run
constantly.

70-72 in summer.


Our bedroom is on a corner, heat turned off, the window is only closed completely
if it's near single digits.
We have a thermometer in our room out of curiosity , we don't like it to get colder
than the high 40s.

When I go in there and it feels like a refrigerator, the bed gets an extra blanket and I know I'll sleep like a baby.


Might be years of sleeping in an orange truck with no heat, everywhere from Quebec
to Cali.

It can't be too cold to sleep if you are prepared.

Trying to sleep in a truck in 90° temps with the hot engine 18" directly under you?
🤬🤬🤬

Don't have a thermostat and heat with a wood stove in the basement. Temperature fluctuates a bit. Right now, it is 65 in the house, since I didn't have a fire last night. I'm reminded, I need to go throw some more wood on the fire. GD

Winter we run 68 in the day and 65 at night
Summer is whatever since we don't have air conditioning. Open windows at night if we need to cool down

66 usually......may tolerate 80 in summer, whatever i can get away with without running the unit.

We keep our downstairs family/living room at 64 F with a freestanding propane stove. As there is no ducting system…..the rest of the house is a bit cooler. Our upstairs bedroom runs about 57 to 59 in the winter.! memtb

Wife and I worked outdoors in winter our entire working career...I guess we just can't get over that, so the living room is generally between 80 and 90 deg all winter...we are not happy unless we got flames shooting out of the chimney pipe. Oak when it's warm and rainy...Doug fir when it's cold...Doug fir bark when it's really cold.
I am of the age where wood cutting is not much fun anymore...but I gladly do it...thinking of the coming winter. I don't know how unstable I could get when the democrats go after wood heat.
