TO PROTECT YOUR FOOD?
We had a hurricane once that took out the electricity for days on end, rather than loose all our food in the Deep Freeze we loaded it up on the back of our pick-up truck and took it to my cousins house in a state over so we could plug it in and save all our meat and veggies!
Ever went out at 3 am in the morning to pick your garden veggies? I did that just last night. We had some torrential down pours and our yard floods out by the creek where the garden resides. So I waited until I heard the rain let up and I ran out and got all the veggies I could manage to get that were old enough to pick just in case the garden got washed away It was fun and I got lucky as we have a flood light on a motion detector that is on our chicken coup and it lit up the garden very well, well enough so I could pick veggies just using a flash light! I think the neighbors were asleep, but the chickens woke up and were so happy, there were a million crickets and they had an early moring snack of fresh crickets! One hen got so excited she just layed an egg right on the ground and I had myself a good laugh. The crickets must come at night to clean up the feed the chickens miss during the day, there were godzillions of them and it being damp and all they were everywhere Needless to say the chickens were not as hungry this morning at feed time as they usually are
Oh and another time a hurricane hit and I ran the freezer on high 2 days before it hit, then the day it struck us I taped the door of the freezer with duct tape. You know we lost electric 3 days and on the 4th day when it came on and I opened the freezer door my ice cream was just beginning to get softened up and I was so happy that everything was still frozen I ate all the ice cream up in celebration I LOVE ICE CREAM!!!!
