Neighbors Laughed When He Buried His Entire Cabin In A "Haystack" — Until It Kept Him 21°F Warmer

When this Plains settler buried his entire cabin under mountains of hay, his neighbors thought he'd lost his mind—until the brutal winter of 1881 hit with temperatures plunging to forty below zero. While water buckets froze solid in conventional cabins across the territory, this man's "haystack house" stayed so warm that his drinking water never even formed ice crystals. The ingenious Dutch-American technique turned his home into a living heat generator, as the decomposing hay created its own thermal barrier that kept the interior a remarkable twenty-one degrees warmer than his neighbors' cabins. What seemed like madness in autumn became the difference between comfortable survival and potential death when the killing cold arrived. Discover how one ridiculed settler's "buried cabin" revolutionized Plains winter survival using nothing but his hay harvest and Old World wisdom.
