Time to take a look at how much game meat I have from last season, and consume/give away before deer opening. I posted last Fall that I had a freezer go out, and the meat spoiled. Terrible feeling. This was during covid. I could not find a new freezer anywhere, and was able to repair the old one. One thing I bought was a freezer alarm. There is a sensor in the freezer, and a monitor inside the house. I found mine on Amazon, I think it was around $30.00. Well worth it. Good luck this season. I hope this helps someone.

I put a freezer alarm on both of mine last year after a close call with one of them. Cheap piece of mind knowing everything is working.

Which freezer alarm are you guys using? I need to get two for my freezers. One is getting very old now and the other one...in the last 2 yrs I have had a package of frozen stuff fall and contact against the door, where it kept from closing all the way. I caught it both times and all the frozen packages inside were not completely thawed out. Just want an audible alarm so it don't happen again.

I had a CFCI outlet trip a couple years ago and lost everything. It was stinking by the time I found it. I have since out in a dedicated, non-GFCI circuit that only runs my freezers. Never again. I use the alarm below. Works as advertised and can monitor both my freezers at the same time.

My kids moved out this last year and I have a freezer full of venison that I've been giving away at work to make room for the new stuff. It's strange not having a bunch of mouths eating me out of house and home anymore. I think I miss it. 
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.
