I used to live up in New Hampshire a long time ago. We used to keep our sodas and beers in the garage during the fall and winter months.. A couple of times, we had to bring them inside because they would freeze over and explode..

I’m sorry about you loss Winger.  I too have lost loved beers due to hypothermia.   I know how you feel.  

I remember many cold nights around a bonfire and temps being in the upper 30’s low 40’s.  No coolers needed!  I’m not a naturalist by any stretch of the imagination, but I’ll rough it any chance I can.  And if it saves me 2.12 on ice and cleaning a cooler! He’ll yeah!   Since then, I’ve grown up and have a fridge in the garage and a fridge in the outdoor kitchen out back.  No matter my location, I’ll always have a cold one within close proximity! 

 When I was up north, we lost power for about a week due to a snow storm.  Between the fireplace, gas appliances and natures freezer, we actually faired quite well.
