Gotta get to work. Glad I've cut and split loads of wood. Will start freezing roadkill now instead of making hot soups.
Love you all, (the Bundaberg rum is doing this to me)
Bally.
May I recommend jerking the roadkill sand then smoking it for preservation? In the event of grid-killers like solar flares or nuclear holocaust, you won't have electricity for the freezer, and in the event of volcanic or nuclear winter, you won't need it... but jerked and smoked meats last for friggin' ever!

Yeah I got that Nin. My comment was tongue in cheek so to say. (The Bundaberg Rum does that to you) I do like making smoked and jerky meats but only fresh meats and added flavours/spices.
I have a freezer with prepped items which isn't connected to power. I used it as a sealed airtight storage but only for emergencies. My larder is reasonable size and cool in summer to cold in winter.
There is a lot of roadkill about here, mostly the native animals. Generally leave that to the crows and ants.
I actually took the best out of those vids you posted regarding preserving meats etc and the building of a good smoke house (still a project). I am not really in a rush. What ever will come I don't know but generally these predictions end up with everyone dying save a few. I ain't in that few category as we would only last a couple of weeks at most. That's reality. Just prolonging the survival enough to perhaps carve your initials in a rock or stump. Or so I believe,, if some of these predicted events come to fruition... But I keep smilin mate as we make life as comfortable for us 2 in the bush. That's all we can do.
Kind regards,
