What looked like an expensive waste of lumber turned into the most ingenious cold-weather survival technique on the high plains. While other families burned through cord after cord of precious firewood just to keep from freezing, Haugen's double-wall system maintained a steady 68 degrees inside even when howling 60mph winds drove temperatures to twenty below zero.
