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.
Canned venison is actually pretty good.
You and I are on the same page. Though, when he says "canned meat" he really is just talking about meat in an actual can I think , like corned beef and tuna and spam. When I think "canned" meat my mind goes to meat that you canned/put up yourself, in jars. no freezer or refrigerator required.
For all these people planting gardens, planning for the coming shortages, they are going to eat real good in the summer, but without knowing how to can/pickle/preserve they are going to have a rough winter.
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.
