Tin tub? Did you heat the water somehow?
When I was eight, I remember walking to the spring and making three trips with two buckets in near freezing temps. We would boil just one bucket on the wood stove. This evens out the other ice cold buckets of creek water.
It was very tedious.
A earth shelter just would not work in most of Texas or Oklahoma. We have too much gumbo soil that expands and contracts all the time based on moisture.
If you give a man a fish you will have kept him from hunger for a day. If you teach a man to fish he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
