In fact, I got this off of one of your commenters. I keep a pad of paper near my pantry and write down what I have used and that becomes my basic grocery list. I also shop the caselot sales. I store in a closet in.a spare bedroom and since I have a well insulated garage that is heated and cooled I keep some overflow there.

I think regardless of how much food you store, the resupply plan is super important. Gardening in season, animals (6 varieties of meat protein, plus fresh eggs and dairy daily!), foraging, and local trading/purchasing for other fresh produce, are all super key parts of our resupply plan. Also- Side note for the canned goods, Canada does not allow donating of past date goods to their food banks. Nor can farmers or hunters donate spare meats unless butchered at a government licensed facility approved for resale. Sad, we also dump our excess dairy if farmers pass their quota. We waste so much food here it’s insane and horrible :(

I put all my overflow from the pantry under the king sized bed . I moved the bed away from the wall and placed eight buffet sized aluminum foil pans under . Each pan contains canned or jarred food. I know where it is . As I run out of the item in the kitchen , I go to the bed, pull out the “ drawer” and take what I need. Then I put that on my grocery list. When I buy it , it goes in the same pan. Long term storage is never needed to be used with this system. I’ve done this for 45 years. Kids could never put things under their beds. That space and the top shelf of their closet was mine.!

Automatic rotation and organization of goods. Super smart! 💝

Easy to make a Mac and cheese out of it using powdered cheese with butter and powdered milk I made into drinkable milk in the fridge. I’ve been using the food storage to learn how to use it and if we liked it. I didn’t want to keep buying it if we didn’t like it, but it has been really good! Also I want to top off my cracker storage and I know what to get that tastes ok after the date. That’s also good to know because I have opened others that were not good.

Blessings to you. I am in a similar situation, but i started about 2 years ago. Literally buy one extra thing per week, if that is all you can afford. If something is on sale, buy two. It is very slow, but eventually, you will have an extra week supply, which will get you through 99 percent of emergency situations. FEEL GOOD about what you have acheived, its better than most peoples preparations! Every thing you put up, is a small step, and better than nothing. ❤ encourage your young people to just have a 3 day emergency supply to begin with, they may get 'the prepping bug', they may not, but at least that cant be argued with, as a sensible thing to do. Prayers for you. Lets keep our faith in God, and do what we can. Thats it. ❤ also please be feeding and looking after yourself well. Your family need you 😊❤

Thank you for your video. I can't go wrong watching your videos. Just saying. Is anyone else noticing a change in patterns? Sleeping patters, energy patterns, animal patterns, even my mental patterns are different it seems. Gotta watch that eh? I'm already too far down the "rabbit hole" to be messing up mentally. But at least I'm aware of my condition, and not in denial like many are. One thing I noticed is that I no longer handle "stress" like I used to. Maybe there's more stress these days, ... or I just feel like there's more stress, either way, it sucks. I just have to remind myself, "This too will change". I've prepared for many potentials and still, to see some of them come to pass like the devaluation of the fiat currency we are forced to use and the reflection of that dismal condition in the price of our foods, still manages to shock me. And I'm supposed to be "prepared". I knew this was coming. It's the middle of the winter and my Hens are laying like crazy. Lucky me. But they never stared laying heavy in the past until later in the spring when the days got longer and the weather warmed up some. Mind you, it has been a mild winter. Another changing pattern? I'll be reintroducing the rooster to the flock for fertile eggs here soon and start the spring incubation ritual. I bought a broody Hen last fall in the hopes she will hatch a clutch or two as well. Isn't the Prepper math wild? For instance, enough food for three people for three years is enough food for two people for four and a half years or enough food for one lonely person for nine freaking years. If it will store that long eh? I'm no longer worrying about what is acceptable to other people when it comes to food. (My mother being the exception) They'll either eat it or they won't. Mum's "All The Timers" makes her a fickle eater at the best of times and what she likes today may be unacceptable tomorrow. Funny how it works. But when she went off the rice, I got worried so I bought a 40lb bag of instant potatoes and started dehydrating potatoes like crazy. Mind you, she still eats rice when I disguise it in a soup or stew. Whatever works eh? Goulash anyone? Back when I first started Prepping I found a bulk supply of TVP, (Texturized Vegetable Protein) but stopped buying it because it was made from GMO Soy Beans. Now I'm thinking of getting some more because it stores well in mason jars with an oxygen absorber and if/when it's truly needed, I doubt the GMO will be an issue. No garden for me this year, ... Mum has been replanting the garden three or four times every spring and you can't tell her it's already planted because she just says those seeds didn't come up so they must be bad regardless of the fact she only planted them two or three days ago. Oh well, it's her garden, but I must admit, when she weeded all my dill out last summer, I was a little disappointed. lol But nothing to get upset about. As long as Mum is happy and she has something to do, I'm good with it all. I'll be lucky to plant a few containers. Mum doesn't mess with the containers. AND! There's always next year barring all catastrophe. Knock on wood and cross my fingers. Besides, this is the spring I build my Superadobe Root Cellar. My Fireproof, Windproof, Bulletproof, and Earthquake resistant Bunker of Despair, because if I find myself cowering in the thing, .... it only means it's gotten real bad in the real world. What was originally just a root cellar now has a shallow, hand pump, water well incorporated and a composting toilet that only needs to be cleaned out once a year, ... maybe two years at the very beginning. Depends on how heavy the use and how long the Humanure takes to roll and slide down the sloping and stepped "shoot" to the "clean out" at the bottom. (It's a six to seven foot sloping drop) Liquids are piped away so they don't contaminate the well and it's all "built in", and self contained. I was fine with just a root cellar until the Putin potential of WW3 raised its ugly head. Suddenly it's become a Bunker of Despair. I'll eat well as I watch it all go down. That's all I want eh? What more could a fellow ask for? May the abundance of the world always be manifest in your lives! And good luck.

We kept them in our pole barn in a shelf out of direct light. They've been through cold ohio winter and hot summers 8x. We recently went through them and decided to discard the rice. I was thinking the rice would smell bad or look degraded but it never changed it smelled fine looked fine. We soaked it a few days and fed it to chickens. But honestly it was fine I think I'd eat it. We since put away rice in mylar in buckets so we got rid of the old stock.

Yes! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLCdqtphrcDDm3U.html You will start seeing more of them. Focus on storing rice, beans, oats, potato flakes, and the foods that you normally eat. I store tapioca flour and cornstarch in bulk because purchasing gluten free flour is cost prohibitive. Keep an eye out and you will see more.

I have a small Bluetti solar setup. How do you keep it "charged up" and at the same time protect it from an (EMP) Electro-Magnetic Pulse or (CME) Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun? I have a CPAP machine and would suffer without using it nightly.

These power stations will hold a charge...most of them for at least 6 months to a year. I like to pull them out about every 3 months to use them briefly (basically check on them) then charge them to about 70% (charging to less than full is better for the battery longevity) and put them back into a Faraday box. That way they are ready to go all the time. As for the CPAP machine, they are making better machines all the time. If you need to replace it at some point, see if you can get the most efficient machine possible. I have heard that there are some that only draw 30 watts, and some that you can use with a DC power supply, making them even more efficient. Keep doing great things...connect back if you have more questions!

Let me ask about dry canning BEANS & RICE. Do you think oven canning these foods are safe or a waste of time and effort? Just o2 absorbers ?
@recess7018 Жыл бұрын
Oven canning also damages the canning jars. They are manufactured to withstand "moist heat" only. Using them in the oven can cause microfissures and/or weaken the glass so that it may break when you use it for water bath or pressure canning...then you not only loose the jar but whatever food was in the jar.
@brendahoffer5534 Жыл бұрын
I've oven canned a lot of foods but now I only do it to crackers. The flour couldn't be used for bread (no gluten after it's heated)and had to be sifted as it had rock hard chunks in it. But the crackers have lasted over 2 years and taste like we just bought them!

Help! I’m new to prepping. I stored dry pasta in food saver bags 2 months ago with oxygen absorbers and just checked to find the bags didn’t hold up having air in them. Can I repacked the pasta? I have Mylar bags and canning jars but not sure if I can save the pasta for long term storage. Thank you for your help. Just discovering your videos.
@sherryhagerty9171 Жыл бұрын
Tezxianne kitzke, yes you can repackage it, unless it has bugs in it. I have kept pasta just in its original store package for over a year and it was fine. Commercial pasta is already dried and will keep well for a long time if you keep it dry and pest free. I prefer keeping it in jars so it doesn't puncture the bags but also keep it in the original bags in decorative tins.
@customer5032 Жыл бұрын
Agree with Sherry, yes it's fine! I clean out plastic 2L soda bottles, and just pour my rice, black beans, split peas, lentils, and small shell pasta in there for storage. I do not use oxygen absorbers or mylar bags. I store bags/boxes of larger pasta noodles in their original package inside a plastic tote with a lid. I have had no issues with bugs and this is an inexpensive way to store it.
@sandrataylor8966 Жыл бұрын
I've packed white rice, noodles and pasta in a 1 gallon round, plastic storage container from Dollar Tree. I place the food inside the container, inside a very long food saver bag that was double sealed on the end, put an oxygen absorber in the bag, then double vacuum seal the top bag and have had zero problems. Also I cut food grade silicone seals and place them under the lid for added insurance. I plan to keep this for up to 5 years.
@texiannekitzke1440 Жыл бұрын
Thank you all! I got a food saver as a gift and started sealing up things I probably shouldn’t have. I am glad I started watching the Provident Prepper videos as I am learning. One other question I have is that during the holidays I bought extra walnuts and pecans while on sale and put the in food saver bags with oxygen absorbers. Can I repacked them to make them last longer or should I throw them away? I now know from the videos to put them in jars but didn’t know if I can salvage these. Thank you.

Problem is I can't find organic dent corn, but only the GMO stuff.
