How did people live in cold regions of the world before modern housing and heating?

Considering the freezing temps we record annually coupled with tornadoes and other natural phenomena, how did ancient people survive the adverse weather without modern housing, clothing and heating technologies we have today. I’m taking 500+ years ago.

There’s a show you can watch called “Alone.”

It shows modern survivalists surviving arctic winters with no modern resources.

They use a hatchet to cut down trees and make cabins and pit houses. They insulate those cabins with moss, and put a fire pit and chimney in them to keep warm.

It’s great fun; I highly recommend it. (And they also hunt, fish, and forage their own food.)
