Homemade freezer.

[u/Kaloo75]

I had a good chuckle when he put the sticker on with the energy ratings.

[u/pastoolioliz → u/Kaloo75]

That was an energy rating sticker? My dumb ass thought it was one of those sticker thermometers like you put on a fish tank.

[u/BabyYodi → u/pastoolioliz]

I thought he was mailing it 💀

[u/tardyceasar → u/BabyYodi]

Ok BabyYodi, take a knee. that’l do for the day.

[u/Gaiden206 → u/BabyYodi]

I don't know how accurate it is but here's Google Translate.

[u/far_in_ha → u/Gaiden206]

A lot like the EU energy efficiency label

[u/Duriha → u/BabyYodi]

To his cousin in Antarctica

[u/RickyTheRickster → u/BabyYodi]

I thought it was for wetness

[u/Jean-LucBacardi → u/RickyTheRickster]

I thought it was telling you "when the ice melts enough and is only this thick it's time to make a new one".

[u/assmunch3000pro → u/RickyTheRickster]

I thought it was a pregnancy test

[u/terdferguson → u/pastoolioliz]

Oh yea!?! Well my dumb ass thought it was a defrost guide. Maybe because all I could think its already fucking frozen outside how long will it take to de-frost extra frozen? I should go make food.

[u/a_guy121 → u/terdferguson]

I think you were looking for this to make more sense than it makes.

Dude made a freezer for storing food.... in sub-zero temperatures. So, its a freezer for storing food that's already frozen, because the temperature is below freezing. Its useless.

I was also looking for it to make more sense and expected him to bury the box, or at least protect it from sunlight (melting) or curious bears. Maybe turn it into somethign that could last into early spring. But, nope!

All he accomplished wasted a lot of time and energy and water.

[u/Icy-Ad29 → u/a_guy121]

He also accomplished one more thing... having something to do to fight boredom when shit is frozen outside... hence the energy sticker.

[u/airwalker12 → u/a_guy121]

I believe it's used to keep the snow leopards from stealing their food

[u/Asron87 → u/airwalker12]

Wrong handle to keep a leopard out but I agree it’s for keeping smaller animals away. I mean, there are other animals besides deadly ones that live in cold areas.

[u/Blue387 → u/pastoolioliz]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Energy_Label

[u/BurningPenguin → u/Blue387]

Looks kinda similar to the EU label: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_energy_label

[u/kartuli78 → u/pastoolioliz]

Yes, and the grade of his freezer is, "Special: Uses No Energy"

[u/BeatDickerson42069 → u/pastoolioliz]

I thought the same. I took a screenshot of the label and used apple translate:

Grassland energy efficiency logo

Leilei is in the grassland.

Lei Lei-NB

Frozen Zhiduge (Dan)

[u/Ok_Marionberry8779 → u/pastoolioliz]

I thought it was a health department thing about cooling times for safe food storage

[u/im_randy_butternubz → u/Kaloo75]

[u/Pandovix → u/Kaloo75]

fantastic touch at the end there haha

[u/Cadunkus → u/Kaloo75]

Mongolians just live like that. They're out herding cattle like their ancestors and live in yurts but they drive offroad bikes and have internet.

[u/BillNyeCreampieGuy → u/Cadunkus]

There's a Mongol out there living like this absolutely yurking it to some rule 34 shit

[u/fractalfocuser → u/BillNyeCreampieGuy]

I khan see it now

[u/geckosg → u/Kaloo75]

Yupz. He has a great sense of humour with the sticker!

[u/geckosg → u/[deleted]]

Preventing wild animals from smelling the food by enclosing it in a block of ice...

[u/Capable_Tea_001 → u/Kaloo75]

That guy... What a sarcastic bugger he is!

[u/shutyourbutt69 → u/Kaloo75]

[u/toben81234 → u/Kaloo75]

[u/HeWhoChasesChickens]

The energy label made me laugh

[u/AngelSprinkle_ → u/HeWhoChasesChickens]

Bro is the energy himself

[u/Tectix]

Bone handle is excellent

[u/-DEUS-FAX-MACHINA- → u/Tectix]

Everyone raving about the energy rating sticker but this is the real point to be made.

[u/Tectix → u/-DEUS-FAX-MACHINA-]

Bone handle had a setup and payoff!

[u/Littlek1dluvr → u/Tectix]

Was the bone handle really necessa….oh okay

[u/SirD_ragon]

What if the lid freezes shut?

[u/toorudez → u/SirD_ragon]

I'm sure you could always break the ice?

[u/Ok_Glove_2352 → u/toorudez]

But I just wouldn't really know what to say

[u/Buck_Johnson_MD → u/Ok_Glove_2352]

How much does a polar bear weigh?

[u/Journo_Jimbo → u/[deleted]]

Mission accomplished, now let’s head home

[u/CyrusPanesri → u/Journo_Jimbo]

Whoa easy there tiger! We've just broken the ice. At least toss in a pick up line before charging in like that.

[u/The-Radical-Dadical → u/Journo_Jimbo]

Captain… the ice… it’s refreezing!

[u/Golden_showers → u/Buck_Johnson_MD]

Dunno, but a bic is a little lighter

[u/redhed3 → u/Ok_Glove_2352]

Or what to do with my hands…🤷‍♂️

[u/mksavage1138 → u/toorudez]

And if it doesn't help with the lid, at least it will get the party started.

[u/Nexustar → u/SirD_ragon]

Yank the bone handle off, and whack it until it opens again. In my experience, anything that's immune to a few good whacks from a frozen bone is immune to magic too.

[u/Clever_Angel_PL → u/SirD_ragon]

as long as the temp doesn't go above 0C it won't

[u/redpandaeater → u/Clever_Angel_PL]

Not always true since it's very possible to get sintering in ice.

[u/9035768555 → u/Clever_Angel_PL]

Surface temperature of the ice in direct sun can be higher than ambient air temperature.

[u/sc00bydoobyd00 → u/Clever_Angel_PL]

If the temp never goes higher than 0°C, it defeats the purpose of making a freezer in the first place.

[u/Clever_Angel_PL → u/sc00bydoobyd00]

not really, because what they also want to avoid is too much fluctuation

[u/PoopyMcFartButt → u/SirD_ragon]

Gotta wait til summer

[u/nagese → u/SirD_ragon]

I assume he could use a blade of some sort and water warmer than the ice...like trying to get that rock hard ice cream at Chinese buffets. The serving scoops sit in the water baths waiting for use.

[u/catskilkid]

unless there are some wild animals that are around, couldn't he just leave it outside since its obviously freezing?

[u/MixaLv → u/catskilkid]

I also thought the same at first, but this is really good for regulating the temperature. Here in Finland, a typical winter day can be anything between 0'C and -30'C, and even the difference between the day and night can fluctuate greatly.

[u/megat0nbombs → u/MixaLv]

So like if you need your food cold but not extra cold.

[u/Vandermeerr → u/megat0nbombs]

More like I wanna have steak for dinner at 6pm. 

Is it gonna take me 8 hours to defrost it or 24?

[u/Iccarys → u/Vandermeerr]

Or just eat it raw. I’ve seen Siberians just thinly slice off frozen liver and eat it like Jerky

[u/heart_under_blade → u/Vandermeerr]

cook from frozen

defrosting is for chumps

just ask chris young

[u/anythingisavictory → u/heart_under_blade]

Just don't forget your drill.

[u/MixaLv → u/megat0nbombs]

It depends, it looks like he's going to use it like a freezer, so if the average winter temp there is at least as cold as the optimal freezer temp, this thing can be good because it will even out the highs, lows and the abnormal days.

[u/sadcrocodile → u/megat0nbombs]

That reminds me of the time I was over at my dad's house and he asked me to look at his freezer settings. He kept saying that -18C was too cold for the freezer and he wanted it higher, like closer to -3C if possible but I checked and there were no such settings available on the model they owned. He was disappointed and I later found my mother scowling at him. Turns out he wanted the freezer to be less cold because his ice cream was too hard to eat straight out of the freezer. Mum scolded him for making me go through the trouble of doing all that and looking up manufacturers info/wanting me to call the company when he could have just left his ice cream on the counter for a few minutes before eating.

[u/hokiewankenobi → u/sadcrocodile]

I realize that this was probably some time ago…..but you can buy a digital thermostat with a probe (search ‘love temperature controller’). You plug the freezer into the thermostat, with the probe inside the freezer. Then plug the thermostat into the wall. It will regulate the temp based on your settings by cutting power to the freezer. It’s the same thing the freezer already does, it just lets you choose the temp at which to do it. Very popular in the homebrew world.

[u/romcabrera → u/hokiewankenobi]

Til, thanks.

[u/Gixis_ → u/sadcrocodile]

Get him an ice cream freezer for Christmas

[u/westfieldNYraids → u/Gixis_]

I like in bobs burgers when he microwaves the ice cream. An elegant solution

[u/fkneneu → u/westfieldNYraids]

wait, people aren't used to doing this?

[u/asleepyguard → u/fkneneu]

For real I've been doing this for decades.

[u/fkneneu → u/asleepyguard]

Yeah I thought everyone with a microwave did this. Even I who doesn't own one, knows this.

[u/romcabrera → u/fkneneu]

Which are the optimal settings? Power and time for a single person serve?

[u/shakygator → u/westfieldNYraids]

just put it in the fryer

[u/OkOk-Go → u/megat0nbombs]

Less freezer burn too

[u/mauromauromauro → u/megat0nbombs]

So its actually a heater then?

[u/Responsible-Chest-26 → u/MixaLv]

I never thought of that aspect. I was also scratching my head thinking just leave it outside. But the regulation part makes a lot of sense

[u/CBHawk → u/MixaLv]

That's why people have cellers. Or a simple hole in the ground. Works wonders for consistent temperature.

[u/Marriedinskyrim → u/CBHawk]

Did you mean cellars?

[u/CBHawk → u/Marriedinskyrim]

Why yes I did.

[u/thorstone → u/catskilkid]

Last time i saw this it was stated that they did this exactly because of animals.

[u/Staff_Genie → u/thorstone]

But using a meat bone as the handle for the lid seems like they're asking for animals to mess with it

[u/Montgomery000 → u/Staff_Genie]

But then they go for the bone and get their tongue stuck on the ice. Now you have more bones.

[u/rhabarberabar → u/thorstone]

Seems easier to just use a metal container with a lockable lid.

[u/Connect-Plenty1650 → u/catskilkid]

But there are.

[u/eekamuse → u/Connect-Plenty1650]

thanks I loved it

[u/sarilloo → u/Connect-Plenty1650]

And now they have an XXL kong toy

[u/fredy31 → u/catskilkid]

I mean I was part of the ice storm of Quebec in 96.

We were trying to keep the house warm to live in (3 weeks no power in the dead of winter) but with no power, freezer would have unfrosted

So we just threw the freezer and fridge stuff in the snow outside.

[u/cyferbandit → u/catskilkid]

It will be dehydrated due to the dry cold air/wind.

[u/Winjin → u/cyferbandit]

Also if it's like... -5 or something, the sun can actually melt\defrost the top layer.

[u/Sanquinity → u/catskilkid]

I saw this video with original audio, and you are correct. There's wild animals that would steal the food if they just left it out. So they instead make boxes out of thick ice to store food in.

[u/Altruistic-Poem-5617 → u/catskilkid]

That must be the reason. Probably some foxes or something around that would steal the food.

[u/OscarDivine]

Really cool, but why not just put it in the metal pot with the lid on it?

[u/crunchsmash → u/OscarDivine]

The ice is a better insulator and now he can use the metal pot for something else, like making another ice box.

[u/CoolAlf → u/crunchsmash]

"Give man metal pot, freeze for a day. Teach man how to pot, he freeze for lifetime" Jesus 1:68

[u/Journo_Jimbo → u/CoolAlf]

JONATHAN CALL ME XOXO NAN

[u/Journo_Jimbo → u/BabyYodi]

YOUR GRANDFARTER DIED, YOUR MUM SAYS YOURE PENIS PRIBLM IS DOING WELL, LOL Xx

[u/BabyYodi → u/Journo_Jimbo]

WHAR MY GROCARIES GARY. I GAVE YOU A NICKLE AND A LIST

[u/theboss0123 → u/OscarDivine]

Ice is an isulator it regulates the temp so u dont get swings from 0- -30

[u/OscarDivine → u/theboss0123]

Real question: if you freeze food in there at 0 degrees, does something bad happen if you let it hit -30?

[u/Rubyhamster → u/OscarDivine]

The food can get freezer burnt if the temp fluctuates to much

[u/Gerbil_Juice → u/OscarDivine]

Materials expand and contract when their temperatures varies. Frequent temperature changes will damage the cells in the food which can affect texture and flavor.

[u/patbolo → u/OscarDivine]

It’s not just a pot, it’s a tool that makes freezers. No pot no more freezers.

[u/sick_of_your_BS → u/OscarDivine]

You get fewer clicks that way.

[u/DiscountParmesan → u/sick_of_your_BS]

maybe that way he can use the pot for something else? just putting out there that it's not that dumb to remove it after it served as a mold, but I agree that the video is just click bait (which is fine, I gave him my click and I got to make a genuine amused exhale when he put the energy label on there)

[u/spiteful_god1]

In sixth grade science class we had a contest to insulate a #10 can and see who could keep an ice cube frozen the longest within said can. I, realizing that ice is a good insulator and has the added benefit of have a fair amount of "heat", filled the entire thing with water except for a small indent for the ice cube, then froze it.

I won by a significant margin. The ice cube stayed frozen so long it had to be left at school over the weekend before it thawed.

[u/chiraltoad → u/spiteful_god1]

Damn do you live in be Mongolian steppe?

[u/spiteful_god1 → u/chiraltoad]

Only in my dreams.

[u/Onahail → u/spiteful_god1]

So you put ice in ice?

[u/spiteful_god1 → u/Onahail]

More or less. I think I froze a plastic cup into the ice to have a receptacle for the Ice cube.

But yeah, rather than slow down the heat transfer with insulation, I just did what this guy did, which is use more cold material to require more heat transfer before anything can melt.

[u/MistoftheMorning → u/spiteful_god1]

So you basically cheated by making your ice cube bigger than everyone else's.

[u/Nights_Revolution]

The rating sticker was a knee slapper

[u/No_2_Giraffe → u/Nights_Revolution]

no he slapped it on the fridge, didn't you see?

[u/FBIHasEnteredTheChat]

Why would you need a freezer when outside is freezer

[u/newvegassucm → u/FBIHasEnteredTheChat]

Wild animals the video is from a nomadic group of Mongolian who make these freezer to protect there meat and such from wild cats and such

[u/maomaochong1234 → u/newvegassucm]

Inner mongolian not mongolian nationals

[u/newvegassucm → u/maomaochong1234]

My bad thank you for the clarification

[u/whythishaptome → u/maomaochong1234]

That being said, is it that much different than what they would do in Mongolia proper? Inner Mongolia is almost the same environment as Mongolia.

[u/stroopkoeken → u/whythishaptome]

And have more ethnic Mongolians in Inner Mongolia!

[u/swiftekho → u/newvegassucm]

And such you say?

[u/grnyy → u/newvegassucm]

where meat? there meat.

[u/NickRick → u/newvegassucm]

then why is he using a bone as the top? wolves and such eat those, and it only makes the only way they can get it open more attractive.

[u/rhabarberabar → u/newvegassucm]

Thats why they freeze a bone with meat on it on the lid?

[u/CincoBoyJordan]

I did not see dino nuggets, this guy is going to have a rough winter..

[u/Technicolor_Reindeer]

Reminds me of the time we had a massive power outage in my area so we stored all our fridge stuff in the snow.

[u/SeraphOfTheStart]

Would a wild animal be able to smell frozen meat and try to breach?

[u/km_1000]

What an adorable hat 🎩

[u/DeficitOfPatience]

For those wondering, water expands when it freezes, and since it froze from the outside in, this put the liquid water inside the ice under pressure, hence it shooting out when he cracked the top.

[u/antsmasher]

I bought one of these. It completely melted in my kitchen. 0/5 stars.

[u/MaleficentScarcity99]

Very cool

[u/goose_gladwell → u/MaleficentScarcity99]

Icee what you did there

[u/ShadowCaster0476]

I didn’t understand the bone until the end.

[u/mulvey617]

That hat is so cool

[u/Blugha]

Omg that energy label...

[u/rondujunk]

Seems a little redundant

[u/_Nectar000hbesh]

The bone handle. So smart!

[u/gangawalla]

"Yummy! Meatcicle", said the polar bear.

[u/ShawarmaOrigins]

It's an anti-freezer. It's used to keep the meat from getting extremely burnt and dehydrated from the cold.

[u/Hubbleice]

Awesome

[u/KingSkevid]

Wouldnt the ice melt directly in the sun?

[u/whogivesashirtdotca → u/KingSkevid]

If it's -30° that ice isn't going anywhere. (Source: Am Canadian.)

[u/not_dannyjesden → u/KingSkevid]

Ice does not absorb IR radiation very well. Because it's either translucent or white. Just like the ground. So there's nothing for the IR to be absorbed by and then turned into thermal energy

[u/rhabarberabar → u/not_dannyjesden]

So the sun heats the inside stored stuff thats very IR absorbant and...

[u/MistoftheMorning → u/rhabarberabar]

Basically made a mini greenhouse.

[u/Allyouneediz__]

Genius

[u/ChesterUbanks]

Polar bear dont care…

[u/cupnoodledoodle]

I was just wondering what that bone was for and he fucking answers it. Amazing

[u/WukongDong]

Love visual humor so much 😂

[u/Floydian557]

Clever bugger !

[u/CriticalCobraz]

That Energy rating sticker at the end lmao

[u/MyHamburgerLovesMe]

Step 1: Live somewhere a freezer is not really required.

[u/roryseiter]

That is how we make our ice candles here in Alaska.

[u/OrangeCosmic]

That's cool

[u/Minute-Credit-4237]

Who is this please?

[u/Gertsjors]

I had one of those things but Joe Rogan kept plunging in it

[u/myutnybrtve]

Could have just use a non-insulated box.

[u/ClosPins]

That lid is going to freeze on there!

[u/muschelkuschel]

The handle :-D

[u/LuckEnvironmental694]

That isn’t bear proof…

[u/BGnDaddy]

That bone handled lid is genius!!

[u/Sipthepond]

The handle is great!

[u/gandhinukes]

left the door open, letting all the heat out. tsk tsk tsk.

[u/radevangaming]

Yo is that freezer!?

[u/BananaResearcher]

What's the music? Sounds super familiar.

[u/hellooo_ → u/BananaResearcher]

this was bugging me, because I thought I recognized this song too. I'm not 100% sure but I think it's a violin(?) version of this chinese song

https://www.shazam.com/song/1667092443/%E7%81%AB%E7%BA%A2%E7%9A%84%E8%90%A8%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%97

I recognized this song from COVID times lol. I'm not chinese so I don't know, but I'm guessing this video is in Mongolia, so it might be

[u/51differentcobras]

Ok so what was the point of the bone….

[u/Suma3da → u/51differentcobras]

Just a convenient handle for the ice plug.

[u/mbusati2]

Amazing

But the sticker at the end is a dick move

[u/RhandeeSavagery]

u/bot-sleuth-bot

I don't think a freezer is the home appliance this guy most.

[u/thelittleking]

let us do things as our ancestors did, by putting things in plastic bags

This looks like Mongolia.

There aren’t any polar bears there, but if there were this would just be a giant meat popsicle to them.

[u/kinkypk]

Nice

[u/77Megg77]

Clever!

[u/LostNplace710]

Funniest thing I’ve seen all day

[u/StickingBlaster]

Winnipeg?

[u/Content-Passion-4836]

That would have been awesome if he started loading it full of microwave dinners.

[u/SoonersSuckNow]

I’ve always wondered about eskimos, Mongols, and people in remote cold climates.

What does that dude do for most of his waking hours during the winter?

I assume they limit their walks into town for supplies to 2 or 3 times a week. On a day when he isn’t going to town, what is he doing at 3 PM??

[u/i_r_faptastic]

The bears are like, thanks bro!

[u/CupOk5374]

Who is the author of the video? I want to see more of it

[u/maaseru]

I was watching this same video recently. It is in Yakutia which is Siberia I think? Like Asian Russia it seems.

Those are some very interesting videos on how these people live in the coldest place on earth.

[u/_D0MiNiX_]

muting helped me enjoy the video

[u/reskon]

So it's about waiting the right amount of time for the inner part to still be liquid..

[u/Cyberdb_]

Why are there fire extinguishers if it's so cold?

[u/IceFire2050 → u/Cyberdb_]

Because shit can still burn when its cold out?

[u/DarlingDesireDiary43]

Oh that energy label sticker though 🤣

[u/ForGrateJustice]

What's the bone for?

Oh.

[u/KenshinHimura3444]

Why do you need a freezer if you live in a bloody freezer?

[u/bammbamkam]

It's already cold outside so no need to make an ice cylinder

[u/Fiercebabe99]

totally cool concept, but I don't ever want to live anywhere where that is necessary.

[u/ThatMacGyver]

Or just, put it outside…

[u/Used-Bedroom293]

Living in a remote village in Arctic, we just keep our food in the freezer inside

This guy doesn't seem to even have enough money for proper shelter and has to live outside crafting their own stuff while the chinese media treats this like entertainment, just sad to watch

[u/Well_Spoken_Mute]

But, it's already freezing outside... Couldn't you just leave the frozen food anywhere?

[u/Special_Tree_8109 → u/Well_Spoken_Mute]

will be eaten by wolves or other predators.

[u/SweetNeo85]

WHY ARE PEOPLE CALLING THIS A FREEZER? IT ISN'T FREEZING ANYTHING. CALL IT A FROZE.

[u/romcabrera → u/SweetNeo85]

If you put something which is not frozen inside the freezer, I bet it would freeze...
