Sexy Friday – 20231222

TGIF! Hope everyone enjoyed the last serious work week of the year. And I doubly hope everyone enjoys this upcoming weekend.

Survival – Personal Edition

Today’s totally relevant situation involves the desert! Let’s say you were smart enough to bring a bunch of beverages with you, but not so much that you brought a cooler or ice. Well, no need to let those tasty beverages go to waste in the heat. Let’s keep them cold!

• Dig a hole. At minimum you’ll want this hole deep enough that the tops of the beverages are 1.5 to 2 feet below the surface. Ideally, you’ll want to go down 4 to 5 feet. At just 2 feet, the ground is around 30ºF cooler than the surface. At 5 feet, the ground will be around 50ºF to 55ºF.
• Wrap the beverages in cloth. This will provide some insulation. A blanket, tarp, or extra clothing will work here.
• Find two flat boards. They should be about a foot wider and longer than the beverages and should fit into that hole you dug. These will provide some air around the beverages for an extra layer of cooling insulation.
• Use rope or duct tape to secure the beverages between the boards.
• Lastly, tie a rope around the boards. This rope should be at least 4 feet longer than the hole is deep. Tie one end around the boards, and attach a flag or colorful piece of cloth to the other end.
• Lower the beverages in to the hole and cover with dirt. Make sure that flag end of the rope stays out of the hole.
• Find a stick and place it in the ground. Tie the end of the rope with the flag to the top of the stick so that you can find your beverage hole later. Make note of any other nearby landmarks to assist as well.
• Finally, we’re talking about the desert here, so all of this work should be done ideally at night. If you need light, then do this work early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the temperature is moderately lower and there are longer shadows to utilize for shade.

Now your deverages are secured and you can traipse about the desert without lugging them around.
