nursemike... we did that in 05...mini block party with a couple of neighbors....Pasco county , like most of the rest of Florida has a very efficient ice and water distribution plan for hurricanes....I'm just looking to be more self sufficient....since retirement, I've got way too much time on my hands...I'm down your way on occasion to shoot matches at Frank Garcia's range in Frostproof


when I was a kid, Mom and Dad froze water in quart tupperware containers, but we switched to dedicated ice chests as there was less cold air "spillage" with the lift top ice chest as opposed to opening the door..
