I decided to post this in the general discussion forum, if it needs to move, no problem.
Has anyone considered ways to heat a sunk below ground water tank?
I have a buried Rubbermaid 110 gallon tank that is roughly 70 yards away from a detached garage with 220V electric connections. Bad thing about this option is there is a significant amount of trees/tree roots in the ground for burying an electrical line.
The other option I've thought of is a solar powered heater of some sort, but that would likely freeze at night.
Basically, I have a water hole dug into a travel corridor on the edge of my destination plot, it gets a lot of traffic, but in MN it often freezes by early-mid Nov. It would be an incredible draw between bedding and food for late season hunting if I could figure out a reasonable way to keep it thawed out. The stand set up blows my scent on any westerly wind back towards my house and the location is over a ridge, so it's basically a bulletproof entry/exit.
Any ideas out there?
