Others have left comments about brown rice going rancid, but the nuts or anything with higher fat content will as well. Also make sure you freeze your grains for at least 24 hrs or more then let them go back to room temp and then you can store. It kills pantry bugs. You can also put bay leaves in the container you are storing them in. You could look in to using a food saver type device to store your powders or anything you may dehydrate your self. This would also be good if you open a large bag of something and wont go through it quickly or want to keep the freshness up.

Great video! Adding my two cents. Get a few water filters like life straw or sawyer. Brown rice is healthier but it goes rancid. For long term storage get white rice. You can get a big bag of organic soy beans and make your own milk. I know you are breastfeeding but sometimes our bodies react to stress and we can loose it. I lost mine during 9/11. Get formula as a backup plan. Everything else that you are storing looks good to me. I also invested in sprouting seeds so I can get some greens during winter. Stay safe, sending lots of love! 💖

I moved my family out of Seattle across the country. We have land and I put in a garden. I invested in a pressure canner and canning jars. It's been busy at harvest time! Time consuming at first, but after a while, it's super easy! What I don't can, I dehydrate and dry can. The rest can be turned into powder and dry canned.

So helpful, was literally just speaking with my husband about how hard it would be to stock up as a vegan...not anymore! Thank you!

Dehydrated kale is great to have on hand because they are easy to store and easy to add to soups, stews and smoothies.

We are looking into living off grid, so this video has been incredibly helpful! As vegans, we don’t hunt, so living off the land in a colder climate will be a challenge! Thank you for such a variety of adaptable ideas, I am inspired!

Consider fermenting which is very easy and only requires fresh fruits and veggies, salt and water. You can add sweeteners, herbs and other spices as desired. It's not only an easy way to preserve but has the added benefit of probiotics. Also, consider storing popcorn as it's doesn't require much to preserve, since it's in it's own water proof case.

This is the first video of yours I have come across. You just laid it all out for us. Even if no food shortage this information is crucial! Thank you so much!

LOVE this one!!! We've been thinking about shortage prep too so thank you for sharing what you're doing and all the back ground info on the different items and shelf life :)

Definitely encourage you to jump into canning! In our state (SC) you can have 24"centers if you use 2x12's for framing, which is what we did on an interior supporting wall on our new cottage.( It allowed for extra sound blocking insulation on the bedroom side, too.) I did this for canning storage! My husband made the doors from the shiplap we used on the walls so it blends in & I now have GOBS of storage space. We installed push latches, so you merely push in to open--no latches! To open any of those doors & see rows & rows of green beans yellow beans, stewed tomatoes, salsa, pumpkin, butternut squash, soups, dill pickles, etc., just warms my heart! I can have a meal/soup ready in a jiffy! Your canning "Bible"? Ball's Blue book! I got mine years ago for $5. I think they're around $8 now. It's easy--just follow the directions. You can do this, and then teach others to boot!

Great to see more people talking about food storage and emergency preparedness.

A prepper tip is have an alternative cooking source to cook all that food😊

I would add a couple things to your list. I’ve recently became interested in freeze drying. You have to outlay a bit to get started, but I think having a bunch of fruit freeze-dried and shelf-stable is a bonus. Also consider growing greens indoors like sunflower sprouts and if you don’t want to deal with dirt you can get fiber pads to grow on or really go crazy and have pre-seeded pads from Hamama. Lastly, I’ve started looking into wild greens and learning what’s growing in my backyard or park that I can eat. For instance, dandelions along a path not close to a highway. Bonus: dandelions are good for fighting covid. Love your show.

There is quite a bit more to do if you want to store foods for safely for long periods of time. Nuts and brown rice will go rancid quick. You also have to use a freezing process to kill the upcoming larva in your oats and quinoa before long storage. KZfaq channel “the provident prepper” has tons of info on long term food storage.

this is exactly the kind of info I've been looking for. and the comments are gold. thank you!!

Love this video thank you!!! I’ve been thinking of prepping not only food but other essentials too so it would be great if you made follow videos on things to have :) I’m in Australia and atm I feel like who knows what the future holds for us it’s pretty crazy and I’d like to be prepared for anything ❤️

Regarding canning, I recommend getting a pressure canner (like a Presto one)... then, you can Google what pressure to can whatever you are wanting to can and, even, recipes and instructions for different things. There are, also, certain things you can can in a large stock pot with a lid instead. But I mostly can things that can be pressure canned. All-in-all, I definitely recommend reading up on the how-tos of all that you would be interested in canning - it is well worth it and it's not as complicated as it seems! 😊

Great video. One thing that'll make your life even easier is the fact that you don't need to worry about eating a so-called "complete" protein. The body breaks down proteins and stores the individual amino acids until they need to be combined into a protein. So no need to eat proteins in any particular amino acid ratio, just eat a sufficient number of calories made up of a wide variety of whole foods, and your body takes care of the rest. Too easy!

You’re so wise to stockpile! This is really interesting and helpful! 😊 Thankyou. 🌈

This is great! It’s hard to find vegan prepper videos and this one is great. Thank you!

I have been making use of garden produce/organic markets to make salsa's, tomato sauce/jam, fruit jams, pesto' sand freezing in mason jars or silicone molds initially then transferring to freezer bags. Having enough room is becoming a problem. I even parboiled potatoes and froze them. The only thing I'd caution is putting the bags of dry grains/oats into the freezer for a day or two otherwise you may see pantry moths which ruins the whole bag. This has happened to me in the past past-in sealed never opened organic grain/ flour sealed food storage bins and it makes me weep to throw food out and it's such a waste of money. Once they're in one container it can infest the whole lot. Great video-learned some smart tips!

Great video, thanks. Let's all get prepped. We may never lose power and food for long but it sure makes you feel good to develop more self-sufficiency.

Definitely loved this, glad people are pointing out the obvious of the things that will come.

My favorite prepper video by far! Love this! Thanks guys! ❤️❤️❤️

I love seeing this for plant based. It is 👍 you can also make your own dried potatoes with a dehydrator. If you cook and squish it flat on a mat then dry it and grind you have powdered potatoes. For canning a ball canning book " the blue book" is like a canning and preserving bible. You can also make tofu from dried soy beans. Soak, blend, put through but milk bag, heat at a summer stirring constantly for 20 mins, then cut off the heat and add in an acid like vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit till it cools and then put curd in but milk bag and press the more you press the firmer the end product is. Store in cold water for 3 days

This video was SO helpful! Such a good idea to stock up on pet food too, that totally slipped my mind! Thank you for all this information!

I get very sick from soy. Have lots of food allergies. So stocking up on what I can eat. It is hard to find things sometimes. But everytime I go out I pick something up. I am sending your video to my son. Been sending lots of prepper videos.

Loved this video! I have been stockpiling also. This is exactly what I needed to see. Please keep doing more videos like this. Your family is amazing!! Thank you so much!!!

I would also add (if I didn’t miss it in the video) fermented foods! They are so healthy, good for your gut and it lasts a long time :)

Love it, very important subject many people just ignore! Thanks for keeping it real!

Thank you guys for sharing this amazing food storage video. I absolutely love it💝

Really happy you mentioned growing your own food. Even growing alittle bit will do wonders.

Very very informative and right! I have empty 5 gallon water jugs I was like I can fill some of those with regular tap water ( we were in that winter storm here in Texas and I have been through a ice storm when I lived in Kansas) and also buy the regular 5 gallon and we have a filtered water pitcher in the fridge ( I try to not buy bottled water unless I have too and we recycle. My mom for sure said keep them cabinet staples!! Lol legumes, grains rice veggies ( which I could use a few cans here) didn’t realize the craze until recently. I also have a set of grandparents that can items as well lol. I’m always willing to learn.🌺

Another great video!! Thank you for waking me up to the idea of prepping!! I have never given it much thought until now!! Thanks for the great tips from everyone in this comment section!!

The most important part of my pantry is my sourdough starter. With just flour and water you can have the start of breads, pizzas, muffins and all kinds of sweets that you can make very easily. It’s definitely worth looking up how to start and maintain a sourdough starter if you want to be healthier now and prepared for any type of bread shortages in the future

we buy organic soy beans in bulk from amazon as well as the oats.. like you guys. and after hearing about soy shortages we purchased a soy milk maker. it is so easy to use. drop in dry soy beans, add water then push a button. It even cooks the milk and it beeps when done. now we make our own fresh at home. you can make any kind of milk in it as well as both oatmilk and even oatmeal.

I’m glad you guys have the insight to do this! Good for you! 👌🏼

This is the video I've been needing! Thank you!

Amazing video! Your videos are always so inspirational! I recommend the Green Star Elite slow pressed juicer, because you can make your own nut and seed butters very easily as well as juice that doesn’t separate. You can store your juices for up to 3 days with no nutritional loss. The coolest part to me is the ability to easily make bulk nut and seed butters. I watch many of your videos so I am aware that you have a great quality blender and juicer so if you feel like it’s not something you would get much use out of then that’s very understandable but I though I would recommend it anyway. 💛🍉🫐🍌🍑🥦🥬🥒🥝🥥🍎🥑🍍🫑🥕🍠🥔🧅🍋🍊

I stopped buying big bulk items. I but smaller bags and keep them in sealed in the original smaller package in a food grade bin. When I open one bag it i don’t have to worry about the rest, they are still in a package.

What great info! Thank you for putting this out 🙏❤️🙌👍

Omg as a new vegan I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this video. I have prepped for the rest of my family as they still eat meat but it’s been a concern of mine that I will not have fresh fruits or know what recipes to use for my grains. This is awesome! Subbed and hugs to you and everyone here💕✨

I'm sure you will go through those oats fairly quickly, but please note rolled oats are NOT shelf stable for 25-30 years, only whole grains which have not been rolled or milled are good for long term storage. The rolled oats are good for 6 months to 2 years. Ideally, you should package them in multiple airtight containers sized for using within 2-3 months, limiting air exposure the the whole bag. Insects are are also a much greater risk when dealing with milled or flaked grains, so you may want to put some bay leaves inside each container and or freeze them. 😉

Having just survived Ida completely unprepared this is SUPER helpful for planning moving forward, thank you!! 😎🤟🏻

I would love for you guys to do a meal on the go for travelling series. I am starting a travel job and being plant based, it's a bit daunting how I'm going to make it work lol.

Glad to see plant based families doing this as well. I see so many that go weekly or daily! I'm not plant based but have enjoyed your videos. Good job on the videos and the start on the preps.

I’m gluten free and a meat eater because my diet is so limited, and I still found some good ideas in this video. One thing you might want to mention to your less seasoned preppers is that brown rice and nuts have a higher fat content that goes rancid faster-powdered nuts with oil removed is a better long term storage solution. Cool vid, subscribing.

So a few things you should really add people should only buy food they already eat and will eat and only the amount they will use in the amount of time before it goes bad and continually rotating thru there food . Being prepared is great but buying tons of food that you won’t eat unless the apocalypse happens is not a good idea because more than likely you will just end up throwing that food out in a couple years and that puts more strain on an already strained system. Also if you add a few extras every time you go to the store you will have a good supply in no time. It also won’t all go bad at the same time . Also freeze dried food maintains almost all of its nutritional value and has a long shelf life if stored properly. Most things will need to be stored in a special way if you want them to stay good past 2-3 years. Also having a swayer water filter / life straw or something similar would be important for long term water needs. Also having skills to garden and forage are important skills to have in a long term situation. The biggest thing people new to this who haven’t been doing this for the last decade need to make sure you are buying only things you will actually use either way and stocking extras of the things you use on a regular basis.

After a couple months of horrible stomach pain. I fastest for one week and today I made my first plant-based meal. Tofu scramble with lots of veggies. No pain yet so is good thing. I hope plant-based eating is my cure 🙏

This is such a great video! I’m almost stocked up. Love that one of your items came from WI where we live with our giant breed dogs (Newfoundland breeder). My oldest son has a Berner named Benny. Love your channel, y’all!

Good info!! Your such a great family. God bless you❤️

Loved this video! 💚 Please make a follow up video on non food items to stock up on 🙏🏻

I love that Dusty bought 50 pounds of oats! Thanks for another amazing vid!

First time on your channel...tons of great information and so well presented! Thank you, now to binge watch all your other videos!

So glad you did this video! I was wondering what you did during the food shortages!! 🙌🏼. Love it!! You should check out freeze dryers!!

During the beginning of the pandemic a lot of people were so concerned about stockpiling dried food that they ignored the produce section. I recommend buying fresh produce that freezes well. You can cut up broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, cabbage, and kale and toss them into freezer bags. Also, you can make freezer jam with fresh or frozen fruit. Canning and preserving is really easy with a pressure cooker. Produce can be grown in small spaces like a balcony. I actually installed a grow light in my pantry and I was able to grow micro greens indoors.

Great video! Water storage is always a good idea, but the ability to make any water safe and drinkable is paramount. Filtering, treating and distillation are essential when the stored water runs out.

Fantastic video! Gave me some things to think about!

Repackage that bulk into smaller packages, use oxygen absorbers, bay leaves for insect repellent, freeze grains at least 72 hours and let thaw completely before sealing, rotate your stock, buy what you eat and eat what you buy, etc. These are some of the basic prepper principles to reduce waste and prevent spoilage. We are FT RVers and our freezer is tiny! In case of SHTF, I have organic freeze dried fruit powders, dried fruits and veg, jars of whole fruit and veg, and some canned veg (canned is not my favorite!), along with vac-sealed whole food antioxidant supplements. I am allergic to most protein and greens powders because they usually contain nightshades and/or soy. I also don’t tolerate extracted pea protein. 😓 I have tons of lentils on hand, along with probiotics. We ferment our own kraut and other goodies, so that is helpful; in the right climate, I don’t even have to fridge those things at all. Thank you for encouraging vegan prepping! NONE of my vegan friends store much extra food at all and I worry for them so much. 😖

One big question in my area is: "What can be easily prepared if the there is no electricity?" Rolled oats, buckwheat, bulgur and couscous are surely the easiest ones to prepare. Nuts and nut butters are a good tip! Another thing that happens to me sometimes is that the critters (or their eggs) are in the package already.

Love this, I am so glad to see vegan preppers

Thanks so much I really needed a video like this to show me how to stock up healthy:) I greatly appreciate it, many blessings to you, your beautiful wife and adorable babies, Max and Olivia always put a smile on my face 💖💖💖

Pretty spot on. I got big bags of whole wheat for baking bread, and vital wheat gluten for making seitan. I guess if your gluten free you wouldn't buy those things. I would also like to try powdered or condensed plant milks, like Joi (I'm a saying that right?). Great video.

I'm so happy to come across your channel. We've lost power a few times which I use as a practice drill. I have a solar oven for cooking which I try to use at least once a week to hone my skills. It's awesome for cooking beans and soups. I did realize that I lost access to my meal plans when the WiFi went down. Oops 😬. During the lock down we planted fruit trees, carefully planned with staggered ripening seasons. We're really enjoying the "fruits of our labors" I'm looking forward to future content from you two. Keep up the great work.

What a great video, love it!!🌱🌱

Great video on plant-based food storage. If you have space outside, planting a fruit tree or a small veggie garden or edible perennial plants would be a good way to have a supply of fresh fruit and veggies for much of the year.

Love this video! Thank you for helping me to make my next Costco list

Awesome, thank you! Alot of good info.

They also make glass water jugs. Our town has an RO system store. So everyone can check around their city for water stores and see if they have an RO system. I think we fill up 8 five gallons for $20!

Nice job! I got some great ideas from your video - thank you! ✨🌺

So happy to run across your channel! Love that your old dog is vegan too. I used to make my own vegan dog food until my dog was diagnosed with brain cancer. And has been extremely difficult to find anything she will eat😞.

Awesome video guys!!! Thanks so much

You did a FANTASTIC job on this video! I, too, am a prepper, and I think it is so awesome that you are using your channel to encourage others to be prepared. Such great info!

Your video is so helpful. Thanks for compiling all this information. I really trust your choices.

Just found your video. Love it to see a vegan prepper. All the foods you talked about I eat and have stored. Been vegan for 70+ years. So easy to store these food looking forward watching again and seeing more your videos.

Awesome guys! Thank you!❤🙏

✨Hello precious ones! 🐚🤍🌸🍁before I even get to take a listen, I am overwhelmed with love for your sweet family...I know it is our heavenly Father’s love!!!! ✨✨✨✨ ...This is a worship set blessing my heart, desired and prayerfully felt to bless you all with! ✨You’re doing beautifully, stay encouraged and looking up!! ...lifting you all in prayer!!! Thank you for your time to make every video and your most recent blog writing! Loved it!!!!!!! 🐚🤍🥰thank you!!!!!

Awesome information! Having grown up as a vegetarian, even though I now eat meat, I crave vegetables & fruits. I already store a lot of these items, but you’ve shown me some things I haven’t thought of. Thank you!

Super happy to have come upon this video because I didn’t even know you guys existed. But I just listen to the way you guys talk you’re extremely knowledgeable I’ve been doing this for 15 years and there’s such a difference between your posts and other people you’re just so alive and smart and there’s no hesitation whatsoever when you speak you know what you’re talking about communication is very clear and that it’s because of a vegan lifestyle. That dog is in phenomenal shape you can just see how much that animal is glowing So thanks for sharing I appreciate it I am now a new subscriber

Great suggestions! Thank you 💖💖

Prepping in Ireland too. Thank you for this x ps let’s also project our consciousness into new earth where humanity is unified, free, healthy & abundant. We are powerful beyond belief ⭐️ 🌈 🌎 🌟 ☮️

I love that you have hemp seeds in your stock!!! We have been stocking up on dals and rice. Dal is a lentil and come in a variety. The Urad Dal is extremely high in protein. We also use Toor Dal and Channa Dal. And we have Kichidi or Kitchari stocked up too. 1 1/2 cups dry Kichidi mix and 5-6 cups water goes a long way and quite filling! Also, the spices are sold in bulk and affordable at the middle eastern grocery stores if you have them in your area. Usually we used to buy a small 2oz package of cumin in the Mexican Food section for about $3. Now we buy 2lbs for $10! Coriander too. And Curry spices! And their ready to eat meals are basically MREs and ready to go! We found them last time at buy 1 get 1 free! Thank you for sharing!!!

Over here where I live we had a stone flood.And thank God that I always stuck on food my light went off for six days but everything in the freezer I had to throw it away but I had other stuff that I was able to cook on the stove

Thank you for remembering Beau🥰🐾💙

Looking forward to this!

Great information. Thank you! Would you be able to do a video or post info about the pump Dusty mentioned for the water jugs?

Thank you for the educational video AB 🙏🏼

Great video, thanks for the information 😉

I am appreciating the ideas💡... Thank you!

Thanks for sharing shelf stable vegan options.

Loved this video and yes another non food prep video would be awesome!

Definitely going to stock up on the quinoa and lentils. I want to learn how to make my own mushroom tofu.

Excellent video!!!!!! Thank you! Great job!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Lots of counties have classes on canning. You may need to call around and this may be seasonal. Worth exploring.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Such an awesome video!

Dusty and Erin. This is an excellent Overview. Now, would you take a month of days if possible to go over again the specifics for comfort and security. Where do you get 50 lbs of oats, and; are they rolled? Thank you. love 💘💚💕💕💕💕 (💕Arf)

I have cut up my potatoes and froze them. They cook great especially when throwing them in your currys! I have diced up onions and garlic as well. So much we can freeze! I did buy a deep freezer too so I have some stick of veggie stock I make from my scraps.

This was great ! Thank you 💚

Thanks for this video. Great information

Your best learning tool for learning how to can beans, tomatoes, veggies etc is the BALL or BERNARDIN COMPLETE BOOK OF CANNING. I can everything, it’s cost effective and I know what goes into my family’s food.
