I saw the video posted here of a girl saying US and Australian truckers are going to strike on the same day (8/31). I searched, but I've been unable to find any information other than the Australian effort.

If your power goes out that freezer is worthless to you after a few days, you are better off buying canned goods, pantry items etc...w/ long shelf life. I'm not saying don't have one and use it, just that it does not need to be your main source of food.
I know that desperate times will call for desperate measures.,I don't keep much shelf stable food. I'll need to maybe pick up some rice/beans so we can survive.
Exactly, bottled water also, dried fruits...just make sure it is things you will eat, canned meats-tuna etc...
Didn't think about the canned meats. ..I feel better already!
I have a generator for mine that runs off both petrol/NG. I have roughly a full cow, pig and 20 something chickens. I also keep myself armed to the teeth to protect it and my 500 gallons of rainwater. I feel pretty well insulated. Best part is that it will be utilized in hard times or good times.
I would say you have it very under control! We used to have a farm and like you were better prepared just due to location and acreage etc...but living on the outskirts of a small town has made us rethink how to be prepared for things. I must say I wish we were back on the farm but widowed mothers necessitated the move:)
