Great video and many great ideas. Thanks for sharing.

Could throw rice onto this pile. If sealed it stays good for a LONG time.( I guess you already have this with grains...)

Dog / cat food ?

It was talked about in the "grains" section. They discussed several grains. If you haven't already, you might want to watch the video in full.@@ricksherman34

Our pleasure!

@@UndertheMedian I listened twice but I'm missing one. I was with you up to number 8 but somehow I missed one of the food items.

I absolutely hate food in town cans. I always have. I happily can pickle dry and freeze my food. I don't care for rice except wild rice. I found a marvelous mennonite grocery store just 6 miles away. I can find almost everything I want for so much less than Super One or Walmart. I also have my own garden. I like knowing exactly what I'm ingesting

How did you dome to the conclusion they were feeding fear?

@@RebeccaPedersonHessey Some other KZfaq channels give the info with time is of the essence, the sky is falling.

Kathy C, What a great idea! I have been tossing my one gallon white vinegar plastic bottles into the recycle. I could be saving water in them. I use so much vinegar for cleaning and personal hygiene. Nothing cleans my floors like white vinegar and hot water. 👍

I've did that many times and still have them . I purchased two 7 gallon square very thick from camping n hunting just sit on counter and use. That's a great idea 💡 those vinegar jugs.

Oh by the way the 20 oz only Gatorade bottles are BPA as well. I'll use them just to keep a drink in and put in the freezer or make cold coffee in them maybe a jug of Kool-Aid but sometimes I mix juice with water as a Gatorade like type drink in those bottles. I even keep a few for putting cleaner's premixed in but do lable them. They just say don't use a single bottles cuz they're made of a different plastic. But the Gatorade 20 oz bottles you can use those for everything I've even used them for seasoning or to put macaroni in or something like that. Coffee you know when there's no glass jars accessible. I'll even use some of those wide mouth spaghetti jars that you buy.

Or use them Gatorade bottles freeze them up and put them in a cooler keep things cold

Brilliant minds think alike.

We use reusable cloth pads. Wash just like we wash our cloth diapers and cloth wipes (only for pee).

Period underwear like Thinx or Dear Kate is so worth the investment!

Menstrual cups are amazing too in addition to period panties. I haven’t bought pads or tampons in years and likely never will again.

@@sheila3936 I need to try it!

Take a look at period pants or make your own pads very cheap and easy to do

I wish that, too!

I got to their description of toilet paper and had to quit. It’s as if the listeners don’t know what toilet papers for.

Actually in some countries they do not use toilet paper.

As far as what they teach. This is all common knowledge that was passed down. It is just young people (younger than I am. I am 33. So quite old) do not care to listen and would rather fully depend on electronics then learn how to do anything truly useful. Take Texas for example when they were frozen last winter. Power out and they all complained while not being able to really care for themselves and running home to all the "Boomers" as they call people who actually know how to live without all the fancy gadgets.

@@jessicapearson9479 that's objective. If it wasn't passed down to you by anyone, then it's not "common knowledge" for you. Some of our parents either didn't share this info or didn't know how to do it themselves (or didn't have time). That's why this channel has as many followers as it does. I'm 34 years old and learn things from this channel all the time.

You are very welcome, Linda. Thank you for hanging out with us. We appreciate it.

❤️ Very inspiring 😀

Great example of why a well-stocked pantry is important. We shared with our grown sons from our pantry, too.

I hope she learned a lesson and is now compiling her own stockpile!

I do this too. I only get toothpaste, body wash, soap, and shampoo now if it's under 50 cents a container, because I have a huge stockpile. My family often "shops" my stockpile now. 😃

Skipping hair dye and embracing my natural white was a good health move...those dyes are full of toxins. Plus it was tedious. And now I get more compliments on my hair than when it was colored.

@@keralee m

You don't want to stock up too much on toothpaste. It indeed has a shelf life associated with it. Look at the stamp at the end of the tube.

​@ricksherman34 you can use soda. That was used during war in the UK.

And 2 good, sturdy manual can openers!!

Our grocer has 10 lb tubes of ground beef on sale frequently for $25 or $29 depending on the fat content. I buy these and cut 5 lb of it into 1 lb packages and the rest I will make into hamburger patties. Sometimes the patties are plain and sometimes I make them into Chipotle hamburger patties. It is so nice to keep these on hand in the freezer.

They're vegan. Which made me like them immediately!

@@virginiadonnelly1031 oh nice to know that, I only found them yesterday, I find easier to relate to them in that case .

Salt workshop on grease fires

I meant works

Baking soda is the best ! I had a fire in the stove.Used salt.couldnt get it out.Used baking soda and instantly put the fire out. Unbelievable.

You can buy baking soda bulk at the feed mill like 5 gallon bucket size. It’s called Buffer. But it’s put out by Arm and Hammer.

I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing.

You don't need salt it already has it you'll get to much by adding it

My maintenance man told me that with front loading washers, not to use vinegar too often because it can damage the rubber ring around the door area. Maybe somebody could address this.

Great tip, but a bit too much it will tarnish your canning rings.

That's an awesome tip, really!

This works. Especially wipe the tops of the jars because if there is grease or food residue on the rim, THEY WILL NOT SEAL.

I’ve been a canner over 40 years. Have not been able to to find lids last year or this year. So upsetting.

@@vermontnative5676 have you checked Walmart on line? I bought some back in the spring from my store, but haven’t used them yet. Hope you find them.

I learned that vinegar also helps the musty smell in clothes, especially like when left in the washer to long because you forgot about it. Re wash with the vinegar to help remove the musty smell the sitting washed clothes took on.

Can also be used to restore moisture to dry hands and also as a hair rinse after shampooing, heightens shine.

True!

What is the ratio and how do you use the vinegar please for the softening? Thank you

How do you heat it? I've seen this tip on another video but she didn't mention heating it. What's your trick? Thanks in advance!

I don't heat and works great. Equal parts of each in spray bottle .

I heard it must be the blue Dawn dish detergent for this tip

Yea the blue is better

Heat it on the stove or the microwave

Yes! I think 2020 was a wake up call for many people.

Thank you so much, Melissa, for your kind words.

For the foaming dispensers, I've found i only need about a third of the bottle filled with soap, then the rest with water and shake. You can adjust up or down to desired soapy feel. The foamers last even longer.

I actually use dish soap in my refillable soap dispenser. I like Dawn or equivalent in the kitchen and bathroom soap dispensers.

Thanks for your information god bless you and your family 💘 👪 🙏 ❤️ 😊 ☺️ 💘

I do that w. Irish Spring liquid & like that it saves water too since rinses off fast but disinfects hands. All cold water goes into pitchers while waiting 4 warm or hot. Save water, save power to have the pump run when u just need cold flushing water or for plants or tea etc. Waste of anything is waste of $.

I just put a little in there and fill with water….same for dishsoap! A dab seems to be all we need 😊

I tried this on a friend one time, he had bad sun burns and the vinegar and papertowel trick worked. I just searched online when i didn't know what to give him. It really works.

Also works with Seabreeze (Witch Hazel). Pharmacist told me this years ago. It also keeps one from peeling / minimizes it greatly!

Aloe vera gel is another remedy for sunburns. Also if you have pain with sunburns ,use any over-the-counter pain medication. It works well!

Baking soda and diluted vinegar have been my cleansers for over 20 years. When you have a clogged drain put a cup of baking soda and a cup of hot vinegar into it and VOOM it blasts it to kingdom come. I also use vinegar to clean fruits.

It is great but Bleach is a better smelling disinfectant.

Is the vinegar safe for the washing machine?

@@17topaz I've never had an issue with the vinegar effecting the washing machine. You can Google the topic, there's plenty of information about vinegar use in the laundry.

Sara, I'm in a hard water area and regularly use Vinegar in an empty load to clean my washing machine😉

@@ro7740 Thank you for the advice

I also use banking soda and vinegar regularly in my dishwasher. It helps to remove any build up of residue.

That's a great tip love it.

I use foam creating containers too. I love them.

I could eat beans every day. I love Lima beans, green beans, and black eyed peas.

I love them too.

Same here. I use to mash them for sandwiches add some cheese.mayo or mustard, Catsup

@@MsKatalind Oh gosh, I Now your talking!! 🤪😁🤣🥰

If you hate beans, I want to remind you that if the worst should happen and we are starving, we would come to love beans!!

From some disaster relief organization..FEMA or the Red Cross or something..said that a two week supply will help you get through 75 % of emergencies. Think snowstorms and electrical outrages. One or two months will bounce that up to 95%. Of course a 9-12 month soupply will help in a true SHTF situation. I try to remember that as I build up my supply closet.

We harvest rain water and use the berkey for our drinking water! Game changer!

I really need to get a Berkey. It's been on my wish list for a long time. Now they are hard to find.

Do your research before you purchase an expensive water filter to make sure you are getting the best one for your needs. There are lots of KZfaq reviews and comparisons. We purchased an Alexapure water filter for our drinking water from 4Patriots Supply on-line and we love it. Great idea about getting a couple of rain barrels. They are suddenly becoming expensive.

@@lyndarina9839 , thanks so much.

The Berkey is wonderful.

Oh how we laughed!

Would that work with cats?

Why, thank you, Agnes. We're happy to have you with us.

What is MILLIT???

Me too Larry!! Mustard !!!!

@@melindahudgens8727 , millet is often thought of as a grain, but it's actually a seeded grass. You cook it in much the same way as you do rice. We like the interesting flavor.

Was just thinking that. Ive never managed to have a nice relationship 🤷🏼‍♀️ I guess some people are meant to stay single. These guys are awesome.

Yes. Olive oil is in short supply so l too am stocking up on it to last us through the winter anyway. Good idea to stock up on different types of oils, like coconut oil, corn oil, etc.

Now I want some maple syrup in my coffee. I've never tried it, but I certainly will now.

I thought they didnt drink coffee or tea?

@@bubbles3042 that’s the Mormons.

What was her KZfaq channels name?

Look out Mr. Coffee, the Old Gal is back, I grew up drinking perked coffee, made in a Corningware pot. That would definitely wake you up in the morning. It wasn't timed, you knew by color and smell when it was ready. Several years back I found a complete Corningware pot, including basket at our local 2nd hand store, needless to say, it came home with me!

LOL! You're absolutely right! We've experienced the smoke alarm beeping loudly in the middle of the night.

Lol...oh so true!!

My smoke alarm must know y'all's alarms! LOL

🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

🤣 so very true

I have a bucket in my shower to save the water from there too. Great tip!

@Sharon Bice yes, I have saved the buckets from kitty litter also, rinsed out, makes good storage for things like rice, beans, flour, sugar in the bags or resealed in mylar.

Great idea I can use to plungers clothes in a bucket if electricity goes out. Use dirty water for plants or toilet if no power. People should try Using dryer's less so they'll have AC when extremely hot. I'll try to keep my AC at lowest setting and I don't change it might as window units. And like I told my son if you meant to go you can wear a thinner clothing. Call some people think cause you're wearing big road over here keep it cool actually too much material makes me burn up. I purchased some property about 8 years ago and we have a pond out in the backyard with our spring that feeds it in the woods before we can get our electricity on we have well water so we had to use pond water to flush commodes and to clean the house or whatever. And jug water to drink. I'll even use a jug of water and hang it up now you can put a little holes in The jug and just use that to take a shower people don't believe they can go and use a shower in a jug of water and you still get just as clean.

@Sharon Bice My husband thinks I'm crazy cuz I like to save all those big jugs that cat litter came out of. And these tea bottle's at Walmart they make tea in the clear square jugs I use them for seasonings anything I can use them for. And he's like we're going to be loaded with all these things. I said well at least you won't have to go out and buy those $4 containers at the store to use for food or whatever. I mean I just rinse those bottles out I put beans,rice, sugar,salt,flour, in them staple foods even pasta I am put flour in those containers I just rinse them out really good let them dry out in the sun. I mean that's saves from buying containers. I bought a bunch of those little toilet paper racks that you can put t toilet paper rolls on. I found one at the Walmart store the held at least six rolls of toilet paper at a time. So I'll just take a whole bag of toilet paper and just place them on the wall or whatever on these hangers and that way every time somebody needs a roll. Cuz nobody's not thinking to put another role in the bathroom so i just fill them all up at one time and you always got a roll LOL. But my husband says I'm starting to be one of those old ladies that hoard's. I said well as it works for me and I use it I don't see it as a hoarding problem or anything like that. That's why I built myself in my house just extra shelves that will be useful. I mean I don't save furniture and stuff like that I don't go out on the side road picking everything up or anything like that. I got animals and cats and dogs so you can't keep nothing nice and furniture if I need furniture I go to the Goodwill and pay $13 for a nice sofa chair. I'll just lay a blanket over to match my room coloring. You can't be all fancy with animals anybody tells you that you can are lying. I don't buy no fancy curtains rugs and rugs just cause more problems when you got animals cuz they can flea eggs and stuff like. I have even made my own blankets crochet blankets curtains. I close off of the rooms I don't use.I even have a door in the hall like in the winter I'll just close it all off in the hallway and the bathroom. Cuz you don't need no heat in the bathroom unless you're going to take a shower a lot of times I'll take it in a day and it's not that cold in the bathroom. Save a lot of electric and heat,AC . I mean it's stupid to heat up areas you don't need at the same time. with AC I just keep things cool enough at 1 setting I just wear lighter thin materials. if I got herbs or food or anything that gets screwed up because it's too hot in the room I just keep it at a low setting but I don't heat my halls or extra rooms it isn't used.

@@donnaleveron5711 And salt I believe in having yes I got a whole bottle of salt. The beans,flour, sugar,Salts and salts can remove swelling I've used warm towels with salt water held them on my boy's face n hands they swelled cause there not use to getting sunburned it moves the swelling. I got things just like that made in my bottles so those are Staples that you need. I've even used them to add teas bags put them all in a bottle. I even grow rosemary brushes cuz you can use that for tea and it's got a lot of antioxidants in it herbs and minerals and they're good for your health or antiseptics. But I keep buying those plants you can drink pineneedle tea too n Clean rooms with. salts can be used for many things you can preserve food. You can use it scrub and cleaning agent. Exfoliate even use sugar that way. Every time I go to a store and produce sections anywhere I can find big containers of Rosemary grown they can the hedges can get up to about 8 ft long and about four feet of high . I use rosemary for everything it would be a good bathroom cleaner to sanitize. But I'm a big believer on using herbs I'm not I love books and stuff like that cuz I always like to read to learn about stuff herbs n trees. You can get water from trees. If you get hungry even chew on sassafras tree branches and make teas with them. All my family are from both Virginia's you learn a lot of things. It's always good to have a little stove burner I have one that's about 2 ft tall two feet are so long perfect if you need to cook outside or whatever you can to heat a small room .

You're right. The raw cocoa is actually pretty good for you.

Cocoa powder is a forever food.

@@cogit8able Good idea about cocoa powder with coffee.. I never heard of that.. Good until it is opened. That's is the coca powder in the cannister.

@@UndertheMedian Thank you!

You can use an inverter. You'll want to know how much power the battery can supply and get the right wattage inverter. There is a formula for how to calculate how long you can run something off the battery. Google it, I don't want to tell you the wrong thing. Just remember when they say not to draw below 50% of a 12 volt battery they do not mean drawing it down to 6 volts. It's a number over 12 volts( normal charge is 12.6 but varies). You need a digital multimeter to measure this . You also need a way to charge the battery. You can get a cheapish solar panel and charge controller from Harbor Freight.

Me too, that’s why I subscribed yesterday as soon as I heard the first video .

Thanks for the great tip, Deborah.

Burning it isn’t toxic ?

I keep an empty Kleenex boutique box near my dryer and stuff it with lint every time I clean the screen. I do this year round, then start filling toilet paper tubes in the fall for use in our wood stove when it turns cold.

I read you can use paper towel dipped in the wax melts can be used for firestarter as well

I used it on the mattress when the cat vomited and it soaked through the sheet. Looked new.

The Dial bar soap is great at removing blood stains too as well as other stains, I’m never wasting money on stain removers again

@@kieshabudhoo4174 thanks for the tip. I will definitely give it a try next time I need to. 😊

Does hydrogen peroxide bleach as well or can you use it on colored cloths?

I got a recipe for foaming soap. It was: 1/4 liquid soap 1/4 alcohol 1/2 water I use it mostly for cleaning my sink, counter tops, bathroom, etc. Works great.

SAM's & Costco carry 12 to 15 lbs. bags year round

@@bluegrasslady9648 , thanks. It's been a while since I bought a big bag at SAMS and I didn't know if they carried them any more.

Recently discovered that and snapped it up.

Yes!! Given our love of coffee, can you believe we forgot to put it on our list??!! LOL!

Oh yes don't hurt to have about 10 cans of that. And I've heard over time you can use coffee for other things you might even need to use it for growing your plants

@Sharon Bice Since pandemic and even the before I was a prepper for a few years before all this came out and I said now boys see why I did that. But then I believe in having some coffee cuz you might need that caffeine if you had to do any manual work that you're not used to doing right now and to keep your bones warm . I'm almost 57 so I grew up in hard times with a child. But you got to use your common sense a lot of people don't have that these days. That's why I always love listening to the elders you learn a lot from listening to people and their stories. And this day and time Young folks don't have time for their elders it has a very sad and it's essential that you should do that cuz they love to tell you about it.

@Sharon Bice Yeah I purchased two coffee makers like that as well they're not old but I think Walmart carried them at one time and I purchased one and then I found one in the sporting area somewhere so I'll have 2. I've even purchase those cheap strainers and you can use those just put your water in the microwave when you got power and a canning jar and then I add the coffee and let it steep as a tea bag. Then strain it off like a homemade French press coffee makers.

I've even put a little coffee in a coffee filter and twist tie it off and put that in my cup and let it steep.

I love how you are thinking about products with multiple uses. That's super important when you are talking about longer-term storage and (maybe) a situation where you either choose to not go to the store or can't get to the store.

Go to your local Dollar tree and they have shelf stable milk and I think it's about a pint for $1. So if it does end up going bad on you you didn't waste very much money. And then you have plenty when you actually need it.

@@brendabautista9683 I keep that Gosner shelf stable milk in my pantry for emergencies. But, I still like to use whole milk day to day.
