Sometimes, we make prepping more complicated than it needs to be. You have all the supplies and gadgets, but at its core, being prepared boils down to a few fundamental needs: food, water, and shelter. While the other areas of preparedness are important, these are nonnegotiable.

When it comes to food, we all tend to focus on shelfstable food that doesn’t require refrigeration, and rightfully so. Because of this, there is the misconception that if the grid goes down, you’ll have to throw out all your refrigerated food or have a neighborhood BBQ to eat before it spoils.

This will be true for most people, but it’s easier than you might think to run a mini fridge and chest freezer for days, weeks, and even months if the power grid goes down. This means that while everyone else is eating saltine crackers and Roman noodles, you’ll be eating a nice juicy cheeseburger with a cold beverage—not to mention medications that might need to be refrigerated.

In this video, I want to go over everything you will need to get this done, including your different options, your power needs, and a little trick you can use if solar power is not an option.

The great thing about this emergency refrigeration setup is that, unlike many prepping projects or supplies, it will be useful daily and not sit on a shelf waiting for disaster. It will be useful throughout the year and critical in an emergency.
