Very cool link, thanks for sending that my way! I have very similar plans for refrigeration, unfortunately this has been a heck of a year to try and buy a chest freezer. It's been months since I've seen one in stock around here. We have a few different plans in action for food... we have shelf-stable goods sufficient for us and the dogs for six months, plenty of deer and turkey in the area, and a shelf-stable cache of seeds sufficient for about 3-4 years of growing seasons. Hopefully all of those, plus what we can forage off the land, will be enough for us in the long-term. The very first thing we did in 2019 when we bought the land was put in a whole bunch of fruit and nut trees, since those will take a few years before they're producing.
