One of these is a deep-freeze.

If my daughter had driven us to Sams Club in her pickup truck... I would have had a small one to find space for tonight. Small, but cheap, and they had the electrical specs for it. Once it was at temp (full of stuff) I could run it off the solar panels I have extant. With enough power to keep the radios and e-book happy.

concentrating on putting corn up by freezing....cutting the kernals off the fresh corn, parboiling for about a minute, and trying to quick freeze them so they freeze individually and then package them up in zip locks....good for throwing into stews and soups in the winter ....

I tried to pick blackberries the other day on my way home from Seattle but couldn't find a good area without a major road but I got a few...will try again in a week or two...many were still red...

and two boxes of peaches to take care of as well....

I'm also doing the background research for PVC backup for the power as well. Local conditions favor solar cells.

We have requisites for the deep-freeze. The Bride is a disabled vet, with back issues; this means very specific height and depth needs, or she can't get to the contents.

Currently, we're vulnerable to a grid-down situation because we'd lose power for the well pump. Hence the need for the solar backup...
