Appalachian off-grid heating and old-time winter survival tricks

Older and rural adults, homesteaders and preppers who want low-cost ways to heat a home, store food and cope with power cuts (inferred from titles that address seniors or urge a stockpile, and from the description text; there are no audience statistics).
