Shelter-in-Shelter During a Winter Power Outage:

When the electric goes out during the cold weather season, shrinking the size of your living space will help retain your body heat and the heat generated by backup heating sources (propane, kerosene, fireplace, wood stove, etc.). Trying to warm a large area is a waste of heating resources. Some ways to to accomplish this are:

move into a smaller room of the house

camp near the kitchen or source of [fuel/wood] heat

shut doors to other rooms to prevent cold drafts

gather everyone into one room to increase temperature with body heat

erect and live/sleep in camping, or makeshift, tents within the room

cover yourself in mylar thermal blankets

line the tent with mylar thermal blankets to better retain heat in the tent. Pre-fabricated mylar tents and sleeping bags can be purchased.

sleep in sleeping bags (usually retains body heat better) instead of using blankets
