Perhaps you’ve heard of keeping things cool near a running spring or in a deep root cellar. But here’s another way.

The idea for an off the grid refrigerator without electricity is to put one pot inside a larger pot. Then put sand in between the walls of the inner and outer pot. Pour water into it a couple of times a day. The moisture evaporation helps keep the inner pot’s contents cool.

The video below shows what a zeer pot is and how it works. With a couple of clay pots, sand and water, you can have off grid refrigeration without electricity.

You can get more info on off the grid refrigeration methods here and here.

Good find.  I found a similar article and posted it - but they did not have the video.

Awesome! The only drawback I saw was if you live in high humidity areas. Hummm, I wonder what could be done for someone living in high humidity areas? Anyone here know a solution for such areas?
