If you have a freezer and expect to have power, many things can be vac-sealed and stored. You just have to adjust for the changes in consistency when you do that.
I store:
Shredded cheese whipped eggs butter dry milk vegetables cured meats Spices, spice mixes, and pre-mixed ingredient packets for bread and other staples.
Things like eggs get gooey after freezing, but they're fine for using in cooking. Cheese gets sweaty, but melts fine. Sugar can get gooey as well, I only freeze-store that in mixed ingredient packs that I make up for things I like to cook often.
For things like eggs, I'll whip them and pour into silicone block soap molds, freeze, and then put the frozen brick in a bag and seal them.
Solar power plus a Sundanzer freezer is amazing.
There are also ones that run on natural gas if you have a healthy supply of that available.
Yeah but literally one panel could power my Sundanzer and it's set and forget.
Only downside is they are really expensive compared to a normal chest freezer, but cash is tanking anyway.
I was thinking of getting a Chicken coop eventually
That's the best way to get eggs.
I just murder birds and eat them. Saves the trouble of cracking the egg.
