In a winterized log cabin 60′ by 40′, with an upstairs alcove, would it be possible or advisable to have two fireplaces at either end, to ensure warmth in extremely cold weather (minus 40 C)? What would be other ways of heating, given that it’s a five-mile walk to the nearest road and there is no electricity (it’s in the middle of a forest). Thanks!

wouldn’t hurt, as long as you have a good damper to close the flue if you are not using one of them.
Put in as many fireplaces as you can afford to heat the cabin both upstairs and down stairs. At -40 C keep warm buy lots of down blankets too.
