If you live in the north, this zine is for you. I live in New Hampshire in an old,
uninsulated house, and spend winters creating strategies on where and when to run
electric heaters, which rooms to seal off, how many tons of pellets and cords
of woods are needed to avoid freezing for 5 months out of the year. New Hampshire’s state
motto should be Live Freeze and Die. So I’m familiar with the techniques and
practical advice shared in How to Stay
Warm in the Winter. This zine might be helpful for someone new to northern
climes. Wear layers. Eat warm foods. When you’re cooking, use the oven for heat
afterwards. Insulate. As I write this we've already turned the corner into
March and while a Nor’easter is not out of the question, I can already feel the
sunlight ready to burst into Spring. But I’ll keep this zine handy for next
autumn, when the cycle starts all over again.
