I wonder how small a super-insulated hut would have to be to stay warm with just body heat (and by 'warm,' I mean 50s-60s Farenheight in the winter, well maybe 'tolerable' would be a better word to use than 'warm.' Certainly I'd be toasty warm in my layers of fleece pajamas, though; or maybe flannel, idk.
Give it a shot. In January it averages between 10 and 15 degrees. There are days when it hit -4 or -6. A small tent and a flannel shirt should be all you need.
