Re: [RC] [RC-Digest] Vol: 03.4599 water in winter - Chipnml
If you have reliable electricity, a stock tank and stock tank heater are a
big help, or you can get heated containers running from 5 gallon buckets to a 20
gallon "tub" (looks like a muck bucket). Living in MN, below-freezing
temps are a way of life for pretty much half the year, and I have all
three. When I was out in California this summer, people were asking me
what I did in the winter when it got so cold, and when I mentioned stock tank
heaters, they were amazed. Boy I wish I lived in an area where stuff like
that was unheard of! Of course they were also asking me if it was true
that we actually plugged our cars in during the winter (yes, they are little
heaters that keep the engine block warm so the car starts in the morning, but we
unplug them before we drive off....unless our brains are also frozen), and if
people really do drag little houses onto the ice and fish through a little
hole a la "Grumpy Old Men." Well, some people do....I personally
can't see the appeal to that!
