6/ can bring 32° water to the surface of the bottles, and recirculate 33° water around inside the bottles to touch the core ice and dump energy worse case scenario is 1/8" thick jacket of 50° water just inside the bottle wall, surrounding an insulated fore of 10° ice / sawdust

17/ all prepping happens at the margin. All prepping rhetoric and education happens at the margin. You can talk your normie parents into putting away 1 week of food. You can talk your infowars friend into getting a freezer and 1 month of food. You can talk your ... etc

18/ So, do you want to tell your folks "mom, dad, S may HTF, so you should dig a survival gave and learn to eat tree bark and build traps to catch rabbits" ? Or should you be sane and ask for something achievable?

19/ so telling someone who is open-minded, eager to learn, and asking for advice on getting a bit more resilient / anti-fragile "bro LOL when SHTF there's no power, there's no freezers, gotta learn to salt roadkill and hang it to dry" ... is that good?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdi4msopIBw& …

20/ Yep. I've got a standard Honda generator, plus also a larger generator that I can drive from my tractor's PTO, plus also a bank of lead acid batteries and a whole-house inverter. Run the tractor ~ 8 hrs/day, keep the whole house running 24 hrs/day.https://twitter.com/lumiferrous/status/1239948855296364548 …

22/ I use it in my water treatment system. Lowes gives a pretty big discount for buying a full pallet (10%? more?), plus I also buy 10% Lowes coupons online. Plus, in a true SHTF, you can use salt to preserve meat (see earlier freezer discussion)https://twitter.com/HoodlumDoodlum/status/1239957205199306754 …

23/ Yep, it's sodium chloride, just like table salt. In 100% SHTF road warrior scenario (e.g. EMP), I'd pulverize the salt, pull all the meat from the freezers, then layer salt / meat / salt / meat / salt meat and open the defrost / drain taphttps://twitter.com/BuucketHe4d/status/1239957175281336321 …

24/ catch the brine discharge in buckets! dry it out in the sun voila free salt

25/ of course, if you pack meat in salt, the meat (a) lasts forever, (b) gets dry and SALTY AF you'll probably want to soak the meat in water overnight before cooking it

I have personal experience with losing electric from a few days to (so far) max of two weeks. A generator is the answer. I have a 2Kw Honda and a supply of gasoline on hand. I power the fridge, a variety of electronics and my (natural gas) heating system plus a few lights.
