One of the most important things to prepare for is figuring how to stay warm in winter if the grid goes down.

Indoor wood burning stoves, thermal blankets, battery operated lanterns, ready-to-eat meals, etc. will come in very useful when you have no electricity and it's freezing outside.

But what do you do if you're not prepared?

In this article, we will look at a few ways you can survive the cold, even if you lack the usual survival gear.

One way to stay warm in winter is to wear thermal underwear that's not made of cotton. Add a layer of pants, followed by a few shirts on top of that. Then layer mittens, socks, a jacket or coat, etc.

Wearing warm socks and gloves is crucial to staying warm because your extremities tend to get cold faster due to the reduced blood circulation.

Stay warm by camping out in smaller rooms. Try to get all your family members to stay in this room throughout the day so that their body heat radiates out and raises the temperature of the room.

There are numerous methods to heat up the house when the power grid is down. If you have a wood stove, you can use it.

The grid is known to go down on a regular basis during winter snow storms because the temperatures fall and the wind picks up, so the best thing you can do is prepare for a potential emergency situation beforehand.
