Has anyone ever tried any specific strategies to stay warm and cozy indoors during the winter months?

The “three dog night” is when it is SO cold that only three dogs on the bed will warm you up. I can personally speak very highly of the warmth and coziness of the traditional “three dog night”! There is nothing quite like a radiant German Shepherd or three to warm you right up.

I also believe in well-constructed long underwear. I bought some wonderful Australian wool longies that are priceless.

Strategy number one is firewood. Cut firewood, cure firewood, stack firewood, and burn firewood in the woodstove or on the hearth. That is my all time favorite. It may not be ecologically the best solution, but firewood warms you several times even before you burn it.

Is it common for Americans to feel "trapped" due to the size and distance of their country from other countries/continents? Is this feeling an exaggeration or a reality?

For sure. I have over sixty years of trying to stay warm in the northern winters.

A good sauna will warm you right to your bones. I stay much warmer much longer after a good sauna.

I use microwave heat packs several times a day during winter. An electric blanket is a godsend.

Since NATO is badly losing in Ukraine to the Russian forces, should NATO soldiers and commanders find a new job given their incompetence? Do they expect pushing different versions of the same disinformation every few months to help them win?
