Where about? I’ve hunted bear in the Lancaster area for 12 years now. Great place and great people.
Welcome to SMF from KC. I can only imagine what you have been through this last sixteen months. Your last day you will feel a huge burden lifted. In February 2020, I retired from the gas company after 40 yrs. What a blessing, and incredible timing.
Your life will change for the better, I'm sure.
Look forward to hearing from you again. And again, welcome.

Lancaster is just out of the valley and into bear territory.
I'm not a bear hunter. Do not like bear meat. Bears also carry too many parasites.
Ryan, here is a link to a short, very non-professional video of the cooler that the wife and I built.
I used 2"x4" walls and 2"x6" for the ceiling, covered the outside with 1/4" OSB because that is what I had laying around and 3/4" on the ceiling. Lined the inside with 3" inch dense roofing foam covered with FRP, all the foam and FRP was overrun product from a local construction project and was to be thrown away so was given that. Never ceases to amaze me how much waste there is in construction. A used insulated steel door and 1"x4" for trim.
I used an 8000 BTU window A/C that I bought at Menards and purchased a Coolbot (most expensive part of the whole thing) to fool the A/C into cooling below 65 degrees. I hold the cooler at 40 degrees no problem but have had it down to 36 degrees and it hold well there also.
I have to seal the floor yet but that will be next summer now.
Thanks! Couldn't remember what the coolbot was called... was curious if that's what you had used. I'll have to check them out!
