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.
Yes learning to can is one of those things as a kid when you are forced to participate sometimes you hate it, then over the years of family/community canning events you learn how to do it, and then 25 years later on your own, decide to start doing it yourself, guess I'm projecting though lol.
Long story short, learn to can your food.
