Thanks for posting up, Jay.
I love all the non-electric preps. Looking to the way things were done in the past is a nice way of keeping things in perspective and letting us know we don't have to build our own mini versions of the state utilities to survive.
I dream of a root-cellar... one day.

The zeer pot is an interesting idea - there are people in Australia who use it to keep their fruits and vegetables (claiming they will keep fresh for up to 20 days): ditchyourfridge.blogspot.com.au/2011/06/zeer-pot-is-secret-ditching-fridge-in.htmlThe basement of my house in New Hampshire is cool in the middle of summer and stays above freezing in winter. Still, I too would like to have a root cellar - especially if I ever get around to planting some apple trees. With care, you can keep apples and potatoes for 6-12 months in a root cellar - but be careful, because one bruised apple or moldy potato can ruin the lot.
