 Turn a freezer into a refrigerator

Yes Cool! Good way for beer to be.

The old freezer at our camp is still working too, but the bears haven’t challenged it yet. Guess that raises the question of how do you know if it's working or not.

 Turn a freezer into a refrigerator

Tom, I am not sure if you meant whether the freezer is working or not but I check the beer on a regular basis, especially during the weekends, to make sure they are cold but not frozen....I tell the wife that it is just part of my quality control.
Seriously, the best thing about this system is that you can make the beer very cold, just short of getting icey.

 Turn a freezer into a refrigerator

If a freezer, that has been turned into a refrigerator, falls in the woods, and no one is there..........
Tom. I went deer hunting on Kodiak Island a few years back. We arrived the day after Christmas to hunt the last 6 days of the season. Yogi's NFL lineman cousin had visited our Wildlife Refuge cabin the day before. It didn't even try the window. It pried off the T1-11 siding to gain access. After seeing what a really big bear can do (this bad boy ((or girl)) was wider across the front prints than both my 14 EE boots together) I doubt any structure short of a concrete bunker is gonna stop em, much less a steel refer door. If you have anything that once smelled like food, sooner or later they will come.

 Turn a freezer into a refrigerator

Doug: I was joking about my own freezer used for garbage. The idea is that if it has undisturbed garbage in it, then is it actually bear proof, or aren't there any bears visiting? Yes, it's a freezer in the woods, but when it's working can you hear it? This is sort of like the cat riddle of some months back. Maybe if I do enough quality control this'll start making sense, but I am happy the freezer with a fridge thermostat does the job.

Mark: Those would be brown bears while ours are black ones and junior cousins. Still any bear is really strong. One came in (or maybe fell in) through the roof at a friend's camp. It came out through a bedroom wall and an exterior wall. Bears don't bother with doors and 2x4's are no problem.

Actually there's no question that we've got both visiting and resident bears at our house as well as camp. Most are normal bears that run away when you yell at them. Increasingly 'dump' bears don't run. Yes, we've got bears--both running and non-running. The non-running ones probably are courtesy of our wildlife officials who have a charming practice of relocating 'problem-bears' from more populated areas to our backyards.
