I've got a seasonal camp in Alaska. Last summer, for refrigeration, I dug a hole in the ground, lined it with river rocks, and nestled a rubbermaid-type tool...
How about one of the steel drums (30 or 55 gallon) that has a gasketted lid that locks on with a clamping action? The clamps are tough enough for a human to...
I would assume that once that bear has discovered your private stash, he will keep coming back for more no matter what you build. Your best bet may be to have...
I would go to your local farm supply and buy a "lightning rod" (cattle prod) or similar product. They are very effective on controling large animals. Then I...
From what little I know about bears the only thing that will work is steel plate and concrete. Try looking at the bear proof dumpsters that the park service...
John is probably correct. When I was in my collage geology class, one of our geologist teachers told us a story. Once, at one of their mining camps, there was...
The battery(s) will freeze and split open due to extreme cold and the solar cell either will not work due to lack of daylight or will be covered with snow. My...
well, you could also bury a gun safe, that should do it, unless they watch you run the combination,lol. also, the electronics from a big camera flash could be...
Lots of great ideas! Regarding "having bear meat in the fridge," I'd need a lot bigger fridge as last I heard there were 80+ of them in the area! I haven't...
With 80+ bears in the area I'd camp somewhere else...LOL. I'm sure it's lovely there but you have to feel like the "salad bar" for all those bears. It must be...
Haha. They seem to have a healthy respect for humans, probably because not many of them around. Not sure, have only heard of a few incidents where aggression...
Just curious what part of Alaska your summer camp is in. I live in Fairbanks. Clipper ... From Star Search Casting, my grand daughter. She likes horsies,...
Kimberly, I spend a lot of time north of Fairbanks in bear country and on some property I have just outside of Denali Park. I now use metal ammo boxes for...
I'd love to see it. A few incidents is a few too many for the last few eaten before they reached their bear proof fridge. I hope you stay safe from "Kodiak...
using ammo boxes for food is dangerous... Yes, they make great food safes... and I'm not saying don't use them... but be very careful... they are toxic... so...
I want to retire in a few years and want my home to be cooled by Amonia AC unit fired by waste fuel source. Is such a unit too complicated to design by someone...
Is your unit bought or did you build it? Del Martin <del_martins@...> wrote: Not hard at all. I HAVE one. It is a 5 ton Ammonia unit and fired by waste...
Yeah, that jolt to the nose from the storage box at the site might train them pretty well. And yes the battery might not be so smart after all come to think of...
If you have electricity then just connect the hot wire from an extension cord to a wire fence around the place and tape off the other wire from the cord. ...
Nope, not often. I have a generator for the espresso machine and emergency use. Sounds like you are advocating a mini-bear fence though! I think I've come...
Where do you get your used oil? If cheap enough, this could even work here is California ... HAWK ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I live near a big Private airport and get it from all the shops there. Also a shop just down the street gives me theirs. Del WarHawk <scryinghawk@...>...
We are looking at making a solar icemaker to generate ice for our home food refridgeration use. I have the plans for the 'A Solar Ammonia Absorption Icemaker'...
Hello Joe, Have you been to the Solar Ice Company's website. They're the folks that make and market the ISAAC Solar Ice Maker. Here's a link to them ...
