living without a fridge/freezer

[Lightspeed]

Living without a refrigerator was how life was for most people on the planet until the 1920s

Those who could stored large quantities of lake ice in subterranean ice houses, if lucky this resource would be usable until mid summer. For everyone else, the old way was to consume as much as possible fresh, to smoke, dry, pickle, tin, bottle, cure and preserve meats fruits and vegetables for storage, and to extend the life of fresh produce by storing in cool pantries /larders and better still root cellars.

If we ever get to the stage that all of our electrical cooling equipment has failed, we will have to go back to these ways that were tried and tested in the past.
