Dressed, cleaned, and processed into a jar?... 3hrs tops. (If we had enough jars). She would even have me labeled and dated in that time frame. Kinda reminds me of Soylent Green.

You don't need to be the strongest
or the most intelligent to survive
but by having the right tools and
the adaptability of change
is where you will prevail.
Big Lots has jars under $10.00 a case and then there is Dollar General. Even Wal-marts are under $10.00 right now. I thought that was a good price. I have also found them at Tractor Supply.
I am me,
I am free,
You can not change me.
If you try, you will see,
That I am unchangeable,
Because I am me.
I have a standby jenny so I will have electricity till the natural gas runs out. By that time I believe we will have either eaten whats in there or I've caned/dehydrated what is left. Also look on line I have a $3.00 off a case of Ball caning jars,from manufacturer, came in the Sunday paper about 7/6th I think and the local store has the jars on sale right now. So I will be getting more jars, lids , rings.
All this canning talk makes me want the canner that i bought to get here asap. We're pretty much on the same page as everyone else, we have a freezer full of meat and whatever else we can fit in it. If we lost power long term, ive got a a genny that will keep it cold till we can either can (when we get the canner) and/or dehydrate it. Has anyone thought about salting your meat? Ive never researched it and dont have the means (salt/barrel) to do it, but it might be something to look in to.

I also can in pints so it is enough for just the 2 of us. The chicken I have done one breast per jar and 2 or 3 thighs per jar since I eat white and he eats dark. That way I can grab one of each and nothing is left over. We have a genny that would run our whole house so as long as there is gas we will have power so everything will stay in the freezer. I have started buying 1/2 gallon jars for milk however. Even though I don't have a cow yet, it's in the plan for the future so I am stocking up on them now while I can get them...just a side note.
I apologize for nothing...
smoke, dehydrate, and can.
My gen will run both freezers, fidges, and the smokers dehydrator until everything is done.
In the winter, I have lots of time, and can process it over a fire
