Power outages are supposed to be quite common and widespread this summer. (My power is out now).
All that meat you so diligently stocked up will spoil in your freezer within 2 days without power.
Power outages combined with food shortages means meat and other food that spoils will be thrown out by the tons creating even more demand for food in short supply.
Get a generator. I suggest one that can be charged with solar panels.
You don’t need to run the generator constantly. Pretend you are in vacation in Mexico. Run the generator a few hours per day, one or two hours in the morning and one or two hours in the evening. That will keep the meat frozen. You can make 5 gals of gas’s last a couple of weeks.
thanks great tip
I personally had to do that when Edison shut off our power in SoCal due to possible fires.
Yes that works also. We did that after the 1994 Northridge Earthquake for 3 nights. Everyone cleaned out their freezer. Power was restored by the 4th night.
