Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

I wonder if you could use a few clay pots inside of a large cooler? _________________ Tired of high gas prices? Then stop driving to work, duh..... Learn to Work from home

Well, as the process depends on sunlight-driven evaporation of the water you add in, I would imagine you would need to keep them out during the day. But having a large cooler you could put them in at night or on overcast days might be a very useful tactic. Other options might include a relatively cold root cellar.

Well, the pots are a lot easier to get or make. They originally came up on LATOC when I asked if anyone could think of any real use for pottery skills (besides the extremely long term). I'd been aware of both boxes and buildings that used this effect, but not these pots.
As for not having a root cellar -- if you have enough resources in a post-crash scenario, you might eventually be able to bargain for root-cellar space, or for the labor to help dig a small one that you could expand over time.

When I lived in north Idaho, my neighbor had an above ground root cellar in his yard. It was built of boards and was insulated with sawdust. I don't remember how thick the walls were but probably at least a foot. He had a small insulated outer room you stepped into before entering the storage area. It was pretty large, about 10x10' and it was said that all the heat it needed was from a light bulb. A lot of houses up there were insulated with sawdust.
