we still have our chest freezer we bought over 40 yrs ago...and we have three other 2nd hand freezers that we got thru craigs list and family....
we have lots of meat since hubby hunts....
problem with freezers is electricity is needed and if that is interrupted, its a problem...
yes we have a large generator but you would need a lot of gas to keep it going for longer than just a few days....ours is gas only but they do make them for gas or propane...
only somewhat sure solution is solar....then again, would it would okay during winter?...
gas /propane generators are fine but what if there is no gas to be had?

You’re better off with propane. I’m planning to convert my gas generator over to it.
At any time I always have 25 gallons of gas on hand. I plan on expanding that. I use 5 gallon VP Racing cans and use a battery operated transfer pump to fill up my 2 gallon can and then use that to fill my machines. Always use Sta-bil!

Been doing that my whole life. My mom taught me that. Bread, too.
