My 3 freezers are stuffed with meats that have been inside for many years. How I eat?

If you can't reach the bottom, climb in
Or take a moment to read the advice people here are giving you. It does not appear you need a deep freezer and have ample space in your other 2 freezers to meet your needs. Save some money on electricity and get rid of the deep freezer
Yup, picture time.
Yeah, OP, I think we need pictures of the contents of the freezers stat.

Set it out at room temp till its unfrozen. I'd throw it out though. Not worth risking your health imo.

Dude, your shit sounds like what Hmong people do - hunt/fish and store that shit for a while and then eat them when they have nothing else to eat
1-2 years should be safe to eat imo.But we don't wait 5 years for that shit. Your meats might be bad and I wouldn't recommmend you eating them now. Especially since you said you have power outages -_-

Thread is rotten like OP's meat.
Still waiting for the twist of the meat being human.
It's all gonna taste bad because of freezer burn unless it's wrapped super tightly in a bunch of layers. It's also gonna be dried out so if you do eat it cook it in a moist environment.
The human flesh can probably still be salvaged though, that stuff is pricey.
Lesson learned: Don't buy what you think you'll eat, buy what you actually eat.

It's closer to irregardless in that it's a nonsense word that makes no sense

No. As long as it stays frozen the entire time it's edible indefinitely. If it gets freezer burn, more likely if the freezer is used (opened) often it won't taste great and will be better as an ingredient in something like chili or a stew.

Not my America. Its thaw or defrost.
Never once heard "unthaw" until this thread.
Honestly you may want to get yourself a dehydrator and make some jerky, or a lot of jerky. It will take a lot of that old meat and make it better.
Otherwise get a crock pot, or dutch over, and a lot of sauce / liquid.
Most meat degrades around 6+ months in a freezer, especially if not packaged right.
Granted it is still edible after a couple of years, but it just isn't as good. You deep freeze larger cuts and less delicate stuff, and even then you vacuum seal it and package it properly to preserve it.
So just guessing none of this had been done I think it best to go the Crock pot or Smoker route. Or even jerky.

Dude, wtf. You see 5 year old frozen meat and your first reaction is how to eat it?
OP, are you ok? Reply if not food poisoning...
OP has a habit of not really posting that much in his threads on Off Topic.
Well if you know how to thaw and cook frozen human meat then just tell him.

My freezer is a joke. Joke is on me since I have to eat some of them to make room for the food that I want to eat.
I will, but it's late at night.
Take a picture of the current state of your deep freeze and post it. The joke is on us because you refuse to take the 'if you eat that crap you will die' advice.

5 years is a really long time - though by all accounts it might very well be okay, just off in terms of texture. And even if it's vacuum sealed I'd be surprised if it's not freezer burned in any way.
I have a whole turkey at the bottom of my deep freezer that's been there coming up on two years, I really need to eat it.

I don't have anything vacuumed sealed, though I should get a machine that does that. What should I look for in a vacuum sealer and what bags should I get?

I just have a cheap Foodsaver. When I bought it I read to avoid the automatic ones as they use up the rolls faster, and there's less to go wrong. I just use the gamesaver rolls they make, as for whatever reason the different branding comes with a different price (they're the same thing). I think there are many decent off-brand bag rolls, too, but I don't know as much about those as they're almost as expensive as the Foodsaver bags here in Canada.
There are also chamber sealers, which are kind of overkill unless you're vacuum sealing everything. They're expensive as all hell.

Prepare for cleaning because you might find something nast inside.

At least I hope so. There's no way a human adult can be this clueless.
Stop reading comics/watching MCU movies and watch some damn food Network. Stop buying more meat than you'll need Ina few months.

Well, I have several other families from my mom side and they seem to have this habit.
