Don't count on hunting. Everyone will be out shooting anything that moves. Trapping small game is much better.

Rolling blackouts don't last long. Meat will last more than two days in our chest freezer. If it goes more than a week, then we will have a neighborhood cookout. Also, we might can some of it. I have an American Standard pressure canner, the Cadillac of pressure canners.

In the summer, I think the solar panels can keep the freezer going. The compressor doesn't have to run that much to keep the chest freezer cold.
