Saving Freezer Meat During A Power Outage – Plus My Grid-Down Plan
Saving Freezer Meat –
In this article, I’m going to cover how I plan to save our freezer meat in the event of a power outage using two scenarios – A short-term (A few days to a couple of weeks) and a Full-out grid down SHTF situation. This is going to be fun!
