Today its Friday so it’s time for expert council show. To ask a question for a show like this, just send an email to me at jack at thesurvivalpodcast.com with “TSPC Expert” in the subject line.
Today on The Survival Podcast, the expert council answers questions on the hurricane, freezers, knives, flooding, encryption, kickstarters, bee keeping, getting good advice and more.
In the body of your email first tell me the council member your question is for. Second ask your question concisely in one to two sentences maximum. Third any and all details after that. This is the formula to give you the best chance of getting on the air.
I do what I can to get as many of your questions as possible on the air but can’t always get to all of them. Our council is made of a wide variety of experts in everything from the tactical to the practical and everything in between.

Just a friendly correction for the freezer monitor. Use lithium primary batteries such as energizer ultimate lithium, not lithium ion batteries. Great answer and will be implementing it.
Joe,
You are right about that, thanks for the correction. I made that error and also called the freezer temp negative 20. Ill mention those on my next response.
Good catch!
Loved the history segment on Napoleon; one of his tru blunders. He wasn’t the last to underestimate Russia. Adolph didn’t read history I guess…

I asked the question on the freezer alarm in this episode and I ended up buying this one (https://amzn.to/2DVpkDR). It is not one of the recommended ones but based on my research and the price I thought I would give it a try. It came with two sensors and the base. The sensors have a wired sensor that goes inside the freezer and a transmitter that goes outside the freezer so the batteries are not in the freezer. I have the freezer sensors in the basement and the base station upstairs and it receives the signal fine at maybe 150′. I am not sure how it would work over longer distances or through different types of walls. You can set high and low alarms on both sensors and I have tested them, they work well. It does not allow you to get the data from a phone but it does hold the alarm, the temperature for that sensor blinks, even though the sound stops after a few minutes so if it alarms while you are away you will be able to tell when you get back. I decided I did not want a device that required a service or was cloud based which is part of why I went with this approach. I have been using it for a couple months now and no problems, I would highly recommend it.
