They Called His Underground Cabin "a Fool's Bunker" — Until It Stayed 68°F While Others Froze at

Описание: ⚠️ This content presents historical storytelling for educational purposes and should not replace modern engineering standards, building codes, or professional consultation.

Montana Territory, 1889. When a former mining engineer started digging beneath his barn floor instead of stacking firewood, the valley called it madness. His neighbors chinked their cabins and prepared for winter the way their fathers had. He kept digging into the hillside, building stone walls eight feet down where the earth stayed a constant fifty-five degrees year-round.

Then January brought minus forty-two degrees and winds that stripped heat from every cabin in the settlement. Wood disappeared. Stoves roared day and night. Families huddled under blankets and still shivered. And one underground shelter stayed at sixty-eight degrees, using a fraction of the fuel.

Watch for:
• The physics of geothermal stability that miners understood
• Why conventional log cabins failed in extreme cold
• The January crisis that tested every structure in the valley
• Exact temperature measurements that silenced the skeptics
• How the master builder's opinion changed in one night
• The legacy that faded as modern heating arrived
