RE: Surviving in the Smoky Mountains
In the mountains getting deep enough into the ground might prove to be challenging. Bet if you covered the top with the grass you cut away it would stay even colder.
As for the unwanted guests, that might take some glass jars to pack in.
I was in the mountains. ;-)
But it doesn't take a big hole - just enough to fit what you want. Deeper is good, but mine was only 18-24 inches, I would have thought. If you can prevent the unwanted guests coming in around the edges it's good enough. I wasn't off-grid long enough to correct mistakes and make it better (and in winter, it's cold enough outside to not need it for 6 months.)
Good to know. Will incorporate this into a future edition of my TN story. Feel like it needs a conclusion.
