Inside your tent, burn some oil lanterns for light -- also heat. If you have three or four, you will feel quite a nice warmth. Don't tip them over though...

Make sure to have thick wool socks and a warm wool hat...those are most important. Thermal underwear really keeps a person warm. Thermos' are great to have...get a bit one and packs of soup, cocoa, tea, instant cofee. Some people even cook in them (but then you'd want another for beverages).

Quoting: Septenary Man and your wife was OK with that? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30428477 It was before I was married. We had to sleep on a wood floor in front of a dying fire. Him and I were bundled in everything we owned and slept back to back. The one that wasn't facing the fire got the dog. After a while we would switch. Not a lot of sleep then. We had to conserve the firewood because we weren't prepared.

Bring a metal garbage can inside your living room and start burning whatever you can find, your couch, your clothes, your books, the wood siding on your house.

If you are "enlightened" you could meditate on heat! Or maybe your Aura will keep you warm! Or maybe you could have a big drum-circle and the stinky hippy mass would radiate warmth?

Invite a hobo to sleep on your living room floor then light him on fire. I am a son of Earth and starry sky. I am parched with thirst and am dying; but quickly grant me cold water from the Lake of Memory to drink.
