In our current day and age of electric and gas heaters, heating pads, and the mere convenience of getting a hot drink every time we switch on the Keurig© or boil up some water in a tea kettle, we are all pretty lucky.

In other words, we have a lot of modern conveniences that keep us warm during the coldest of winters!

Now, as a survivalist we may find ourselves out in the wilderness, having to make that campfire, and that is always an exciting accomplishment. Yet, let’s face it, when the weekend or week is over, we can always go home again.

Even if it is to a cold cabin or a tiny home, we have ways to make our home warm that are rather modern in their execution!

Now, going over to the next page we will show you something truly extraordinary.

If you’ve ever wondered how our ancestors – without the convenience of modern heating implements – stayed warm when it got below zero, go over to the next page and become really impressed!

    The most interesting thing about them is that I have done 6/7 of them. We live in a single story home so the “grate” is out for me.
