So you have sub-zero weather knocking out power, and I read a few reports about people worried about their food spoiling. And one mention of someone's refrigerated insulin possibly going bad.
Can't people improvise at all?
Wrap up whatever is in your freezer and put it outside in a closed plastic container or tied plastic bag....
Had same reaction. And some reports were of people doing just that. But too many lack common sense and the ability to improvise. And the proportion seems to rise, the warmer the climate.
Indeed.
Probably because the people have not been trained since birth to live in freezing weather, ice and snow.
Frank the "blue heeler" Australian cattle dog living with his American owners, Trent and Allie (on You Tube) who are building a small house in a mountain in Utah....is allowed to go out to play in fresh snow, but when the snow turns to ice he has to wear boots.
I'm learning a lot about snow, and how to live in it..." bring a shovel".
My power goes off because of the heat...rail lines buckle, transformers "blow up", thunder storms bring down power lines ...thousands of people without power for days.
It's rare, but it does happen.
In the rush to build BIG Australia (total folly...the place is full now) ...and CANCEL fossil fuels to appease the "climate change" brigade, the electricity grid teeters on the brink every time there's a 'heatwave" and BIG Australia turns on all its air-conditioning.
We started to have "Brown outs", our electricity cut off by the govt man in different districts for a few hours at peak use times to stop the grid from collapsing.
No1 radio host leading the protest, bambu-ilk verbally attacked the govt man (govt woman in some states).
ScoMo and Josh, federal, seemingly listening, lined up the energy companies and politely told them what would be happening if they did not provide a continual supply of electricity.
Can't be having little old ladies sitting on chairs and draped in wet towels trying to keep cool...brownouts, blackouts, and pensioners too scared to switch on electricity at unaffordable prices.
Next minute, the wholesale price of electricity and gas provided to the retail energy companies by the grid owners dropped...funny about that.
Noise laws in suburbia would prevent the use of diesel generators.
The "van life and camping" now have portable generators that run from portable propane cylinders, and portable hot water heaters/pumps run by butane cans.
Not sure if the propane fuelled generators are noisy.
Put cold water in bucket/container, insert hose line from machine, switch on...and water is pumped out of the bucket, through the machine, and comes out hot in the hose/shower head from the other side.
Cool.
All I need now for my possible future van/camping fulltime life is some way to power a microwave, airfyer oven, and aircon without connecting to the main power grid (240v/110v).
