well it seems like the solution is too store some heat efficient supplements like coal-lite and the like. In the long term (after collapse) the solution may be more people in a location. It takes no more wood to heat a room with 3 people in than 2, it won't take much more fuel to cook for a third person (almost certainly not when compared to the extra wood they can harvest and process) etc.

There are energy saving ideas as well to help. Something like Ghillie Kettles and an old insulated tea urn to boil and store hot water from twigs. Maybe you could look at storing bags of wood pellets to use in a wood gas stove for outdoor cooking and water boiling.

If you got a couple of those solar showers to sit in the sun during the day for washing and laundry without using wood stores. You could also us haybox or thermas cooking to use less fuel per meal.
