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.
Imagine if…SHTF including a countrywide blackout after weeks of food and gas shortages.
It’s twilight and it’s 20 below outside.
Lights on, smoke coming out of the chimney, nice smells lingering on the cold air around your house.
Yeah…You better have ammunition up the wazzo, great shooting skills, and nerves of steel.
