Coming soon: Pork and bacon shortage (Prices to double by next summer) I suspect that due to the economic policies of the current socialist occupant of the white hut, we'll be seeing shortages of a lot of things. This plays right into the Wookie's desire to control our diets as well.

Bacon is already higher per pound than steak (by the pound) here in WA. I treat the spouse to bacon from time to time....I actually buy by the slice (so we don’t over eat).
I’m hearing that all meat will be going up in price. My rancher friends have made money (for a change) on beef the last couple of years...which is nice for them. But dang! Getting to where a gal can’t afford a big ol’ ribeye. And now bacon?

Serious querstion:
If I stock up a freezer full of meats like pork loins, and we have a SHTF scenario and electricity goes out- is there anything you can do to save your freezer of meat?
I have heavy duty insulation, in the winter not as big a problem- use the outdoor temperatures, but in summer I thin a few hours a day of electricity to keep it freezing for another day would help for a while- until my gas supply ran out
I have canned foods and dry foods too- lots of ‘paper products’ and big on ‘home defense’ too
The freezer full of meat is my biggest worry in the hot summer
Drying? Beef and pork jerky?

IIRC, you can toss all that into a barrel of salt for a long time, as long as it’s totally covered.
Do you have to thaw it first?

There will be no shortage. There will be plenty available to anyone willing to pay the price. It's called the "supply and demand" curve.

Huh? Supply here isn’t super elastic. I get that prices will rise as supply falls, but supply will still fall.

If I stock up a freezer full of meats ... is there anything you can do to save your freezer of meat? You might look into a small solar panel, just enough to run your freezer -- not to "save the earth" but to save your bacon.

And there will be an equilibrium price at that supply.

Get a pressure canner and you could can it all in a long power outage.
You could do that on a gas grill or even over a wood or charcoal fire.
Check garage/yard sales and stock up on canning jars.

Remember Obama bought the pork as “aid” for farmers in drought stress but EPA would NOT reduce ethanol requirements for gas thus making corn extra short and expensive in the severe drought. There you have socialist utopian thinking.
The good news is that hogs reproduce exponentially and when weather gets favorable, if God allows, pig farmers will quickly fill the need. Unless Obama has killed all the piggies. If so, we can round up the wild hogs and breed.
To: SeekAndFind
Don’t see the problem. There should be plenty of Democrats around to make up the difference...

It's the “new normal”, as Rush likes to say. A lot of Obamaphiles are perfectly willing to ignore $4/gal gasoline because “we'll get used to it”. Funny how that wasn't the case when we were pushing $2/gal during the Bush years. Back then the Obamaphiles were screaming from the rooftops about how those “high prices” were the result of Halliburton and Bush's friends in the oil industry gouging the consumer. But now with Obama it's just the new normal. Lousy ‘Rats, I really hate them.

Just make sure you cook it very, very well. Trichinosis is not a pleasant parasitical disease.

Look for a second American revolution or civil war to become more likely and in a special event that Obama gets re-elected.
