Warmth
& Shelter
Keeping the body and home warm when heating is limited, interrupted, or expensive.
In Britain, warmth is the first resilience. Long damp winters, variable infrastructure, and rising energy costs mean that a household's ability to stay warm is often a household's ability to stay well.
This Part covers the practical knowledge most households once held quietly: how to keep the person warm before the chill sets in, how to concentrate warmth in a small space, how to layer clothing indoors, how to manage moisture, and how to sleep warm.
None of it requires expensive equipment. Most of it was ordinary household wisdom a generation ago. It remains as useful as ever.
