Theres really no excuse for..uhm..well..excuses.
I’ve been a very, very bad paranoid survivalist lately. I’ve completely neglected my duties as Commander Zero. Oh, sure, I could handle a couple months of chaos and everything just with whats sitting around the bunker at the moment, but, dang it, I should be better than that.
Simply put, I’ve been too busy. I get home in the evening, eat and by then its about 8 and I want to just relax for an hour or two and the next thing you know its bedtime.
Did manage to get a freezer alrm put in, so at least some things have been getting done.
Biggest thing I want to get done is to go down to the bunker and organize things a bit better. It would take at least a couple hours, so maybe if I just go home and skip a meal I can focus on it and maybe get things done. I’d feel a little better if I knew everything was neatly organized and arranged for immediate usage.
Freezer alarm? Does that beep when the freezer fails?
Yes indeedy. Small temperature probe on a wire. Probe gets hung in the freezer and the wire leads to a small plastic panel that contains batteries and an alarm unit. The wire is thin enough not to interfere with the seal when closing the door. Temperature gets above 15-farenheit and it starts chirping. Ten bucks of prevention to spare the loss of hundreds of dollars in meat.
i could have used one of those about 2 years ago, as some switch burned out on the compressor on my fridge/freezer and my brother & i lost close to $500 worth of food,
need some cold?
am surprised you didn’t think of building a well insulated “icehouse” to store your stuff cold. the university of minnasota uses a well insulated ice bank to supplement summer cooling needs. a well insulated ice cave buried underground could store your frozen meats; with a solar amonia ice maker helping it to stay cold durring the hot weather. am currently looking into a closed system using local river to cut dowm the air conditioner bills. or do you have a nuclear generator at home?

batteries
when you install them, future date your calander to remind yourself to check or replace them. a dead battery can ruin your day! Wildflower
