What I wouldn’t give for a generator but convincing non-prepper hubby is too difficult.
Our 20 year old freezer went out a couple years ago but we we have family around, coolers and got another delivered that afternoon. I don’t know the specs on it but the outside measures 66” tall x 32” wide. It’s smaller than what I’m used to but with the kids gone, it’s fine for the two of us. Living out in the country it’s easier to grocery shop in the freezer than drive into town so you might want a smaller one.
I like uprights rather than chests. Chests are just too much trouble digging down to the bottom corner for something and you never know what needs to be used. With an upright, it’s easier to organize - top shelf is chicken and fish, second shelf is beef, third is pork, forth for stuff like stocks or vegetables and the basket (a MUST HAVE) for all those little odd shaped things like cheese and sausage. Another must have is shelves on the door for flour, juice cans and vegetables.
Hope that helps.
Thank you!
