Stay Warm in a Home With No Heat
Shrink your living space into one insulated warm room to survive winter without the grid.

Warning
Never run generators, grills or camp stoves indoors.
- 01
Pick one room
Choose a small interior room with few windows, ideally south-facing.
- 02
Seal and insulate
Hang blankets over windows and doorways, stuff gaps, cover floors with rugs.
- 03
Tent in the room
Pitch a tent inside—body heat warms the small space dramatically.
- 04
Layer and hydrate
Wool next to skin, hats indoors, hot water bottles in sleeping bags. Eat fats before sleeping.
