Best Answer

Indoors, colonists used a fire in the hearth for warmth.

Outdoors, they used fresh bunnies! But seriously, folks... the colonial period of American history saw the use of bricks or stones heated in the fire, then wrapped in a towle to be put into the bed (or bedroll) to keep one's feet warm at night. Many of todays' survival techniques were utilized and sharpened during the colonial period. Avoiding the wintry winds by crawling into an unused animal den was dangerous, but safer than remaining exposed to the elements.
