This may need to become a forum of off grid.
There is little or no discussion of refrigeration, long term post collapse. other than the use of heat pump type refrigerators powered by electric or RV style ammonia absorption stuff. both work well but are not very user serviceable
Decades ago I found a brilliant spin on the ice box concept, in which a very well insulated Ice box was built, and a antifreeze solution was used to remove heat from the ice box to the atmosphere via thermosiphon. this system could be built using simple parts and would be user servicable. I am going to do a bit of searching to see if I can find an example on the net somewhere, if there is ant interest.
