I think the article mentioned using birch bark containers when their pots wore through. To heat water in them, they probably heated rocks in the fire and dropped them into the bark bowls full of water. I'm not sure how they made fire, but it was probably tedious so maybe they kept it going constantly--no shortage of wood.

From experience, I know it's a full time job when the temperature drops to -40. You don't want to sleep for more than a few hours at a stretch. One mistake and you're in big trouble at those temperatures.
