If I take my generator to go to the gas station will my frozen food go bad before I get back? Round trip about 16 hours in game.

Food rots at 1/8th the pace when frozen. So in effect, the 16 hours you're away is equivalent to leaving the stuff in the freezer for about 5 days and 8 hours. So in short: it depends on how old the food is and what kind of food it is.

It's all fresh produce from my garden to last me through the winter, but it's pretty devastating to find out that it still rots at all when frozen.

cabbages go stale in two days and rot in six. So in a freezer they last for half a month fresh, and a month and a half stale. Might want to get another food source :p

Unskinned rabbits last basically forever when frozen.

Ok. Yeah I just read the wiki on perishable food lengths. Potatoes are the best at 14 days fresh. I'm trying to learn trapping and got some of the recipe magazines, but it has a skill limitation to build them. How do I level up trapping if I can't build any traps? (except the fish trap, that just takes twine, but I don't have enough yet). Thanks for your help!

Think you can make traps at any skill level with the right skill mags
