My "hack" is wide painters tape instead of duct tape for labeling 5 gallon buckets. Duct tape lives a sticky residue on the buckets, put painters tape removes cleanly. You can write the contents on the tape instead of the bucket, and then if you decide you want to change the contents of the bucket its easy to relabel it. Painters tape is also awesome for sealing up around windows if you have issues with wildfire smoke. Buy a quality brand, and 3 or 4 inches wide, then run strips around the window frames and door frames (unused doors). When the smoke is gone, it is easy to remove the tape. If you need to use the window or door for an emergency you can just open it, the tape will rip fairly easily.

It does get overwhelming with everything there is to consider, and I wish he'd be a bit more proactive/supportive about it, but he did finally come around enough to at least help me with some heavier stuff. I've been at this for about five months now, and I know we only have enough to get through about a month (with rationing), but it's better than what we had before. The hardest part, for me, is not going into debt to just get everything now. Good luck to you! :)

Storing water is a waste of space and not practical when the government invades your home, and it's only a matter of time until that happens. You will likely be able to find water in streams, lakes, creeks...etc. Just invest in a water purifying system, like an Alexa or Big Bertha, and buy some aquatabs to purify the water you find in an emergency situation. Also, these people live on land or in a house that the government knows about, ie utilities, deed etc.. What everyone should really be doing is preparing to live somewhere off the grid with emergency food stores in buckets, getting seeds for planting, buy a 4 season tent if at all possible. Likely all the food stuffs they have accumulated will be taken by the government to feed the Covid camp (death camp) occupants in short order. Watch Mike Adams " 50 steps for survival and victory against the destroyers".

Don't dump the water out. Use it in your canner when open kettle canning, in your pressure cooker in correct amounts, in your garden, for your houseplants, in your mop bucket, for hygiene water storage, in your dish pan to clean your fridge or freezer, to put in utility sink or top loading washer to soak whites, to mix sugar water when feeding bees, to soak beans overnite, to water your trees, put in your chicken waterer, or stock water pen, your fish pond or even to top off your little one's pool. A hundred uses instead of dumping it out. Recycle water safely, but recycle. The Earth will thank you and so will us desert residents!

I'm single and I don't have much stuff in food prep but I do have a complete list of what I have and when it expires. I have an _EXPIRING SOON_ list for my regular pantry as well, so I know what needs to be used up first. My other tip is to check the clearance section at the grocery store. I got cans of organic roasted chicken breast for half price. If there ever is a real emergency I'm going to be really sick of eating chicken 24/7, but at least I'll be alive. 🐔 It's good mixed with curry powder, so that's another tip!

I've been going through your older videos a few at a time (thank you SO MUCH for all you do! I really appreciate your helpful, common sense videos!) and just got to this one, so this comment is waaay late, and probably not much of a "hack" for any experienced preppers, but: For the total newbies like me, who also live in a tract-home-style suburban neighborhood with next-to-no storage, one of the challenges we've been trying to overcome is water storage. My hubby is not a fan of building up a bunch of 55-gallon drums (or really prepping at all--he's been a slow convert), which we don't have room for, anyway, plus, at least right now, they're psycho expensive, so I went looking for other options. We have a small stack of bottled water packs from Costco (I think 36 - 48 bottles per pack?), which we rotate through periodically with going on excursions, etc., but that's not going to last too long. I also bought two of those tub liner water holder deals, so if we know in advance that the water's going to get turned off, or if we're worried about it after any sort of "event," we can fill those up. Important to note that they hold UP TO 100 gallons each, but that depends on the size of your tub. You don't want to fill it to the point it overflows the confines of the bathtub or you'll have a mess on your hands and serious difficulty getting the water out of it when you need it. Our guest bathtub will probably only hold about 60 gallons, but the master one should be able to hold 100. I don't really include them in my "monthly total" estimation, because there's a chance we may not be able to use them if the water gets turned off immediately or is contaminated. They're more of a bonus backup. We're saving up for a Berkey or Berkey-style water purifier, we've got some water purification tablets (the liquid that you're supposed to add to the 55-gallon drums has been sold out everywhere for months), a water-bottle-sized personal water purifier, and some purification straws, but I still wanted some actual water storage that would last at least a month or so. I shopped around for the 5-gallon water bottles like you can get delivered from Sparkletts. You can buy them online, but like the 55-gallon drums, they were pretty expensive, like $30 or more each, without lids! You could also get a delivery service, like Sparkletts, but that's pricey, too. Then my husband discovered that you can also buy those bottles and also get them filled at Home Depot (possibly used, but they often have new ones, too), for way less than anyone else was selling them for. I think they were about $12 each, filled. We bought a handful, got a vertical storage tower for them (you can configure them any way you want up to a certain height; I found ours on Amazon), and put them in the garage where they hardly take up any space at all. Perfect! We still don't have enough for a full month of water for three to four people plus pets, but we're a lot closer, and the purification items we have will help further. I'm definitely going to fill a couple of detergent and soap bottles as they run out for hygiene purposes, as well, to save our drinking water strictly for drinking and cooking--that was a great tip. We'll use the water in our canned goods as cooking water and hopefully only have to supplement it a little bit from the drinking water. So, long story short, if you don't have a lot of room or money but still want to store up at least a little water, even if you live in a small apartment, grab one of those vertical storage towers and five or six 5-gallon water bottles, stash it in your hall closet, and you'll be set, at least for the short term.

You can use 2 liter soda bottles and Orange Juice bottles. Clean them out with dishsoap and water and fill with regular tap water, no need to add bleach. Store long term and you can filter with a cheap Sawyer filter ($20 Walmart/Amazon) filters 100,000 gallons of water. Just don't store your jugs directly on concrete. Put cardboard or pallets between the concrete floor and your water storage. Free is cheapest option.

Here's my hack: Socks or fleece? Either works well. If you can use a sewing machine to sew a straight line, you can make fleece “sweaters” for glass jars. One blanket, even a child-size throw blanket can be turned into lots of sweaters. I sometimes buy mine at thrift stores and wash them a couple of times. If the idea of sewing with a stranger’s second-hand blanket bothers you, then go for the used sock method. Hmm. Fleece fabric doesn’t ravel and it’s stretchy. The width stretches more easily than the length. Some fleece fabric stretches more than others, so you’ll need to test it before cutting. Cut long lengthwise strips of fleece that are wide enough to wrap around a quart or pint or whatever size canning jar adding an inch or two for the seam. It doesn’t need to fit exactly. If it ends up being too loose just sew a wider seam. No need to remove the first one. Sew the strip into a long tube. Then, cut the tube into whatever lengths you like. For protection against jars bumping against each other you probably don’t need to cover the entire jar. I often do. If you’re into details; when sewing stretchy fabric, it helps to use a slight zig-zag stitch to prevent the threads from breaking as the tubes are stretched. The sweaters can fit a little loosely as long as they stay in place and don’t slip down. I spend extra time back-stitching the top and bottom of the seams but that probably isn’t necessary. This grandma’s jars are donned with colorful sweaters and even a few with Santa, snowflakes and even crazy little Olaf.

We have learned much from you folks and other seasoned preppers and homesteaders. We have only one small room (meant as a bedroom in our floor plan) in a double-wide mobile home. We keep an air conditioner in the window year round. We have placed sturdy shelving all around the walls as well inside the closet. We rotate by labeling everything first as we buy it, then keep things in order by date as little-by-little we add to our "stash." I can and dehydrate from the garden as well as bargains from stores and farmers. I use a jar vacuum sealer, and mylar with oxy absorbers as well. You are right: being very organized, and rotating to maximize the small space we have helps us store enough food for our grown children who live near by and have no space, as well for ourselves. As much as we are able, we are diligent to be responsible to not be a burden on others when there is any kind of emergency. Plus when we can, we build our little 5-gallom buckets for poor families with a good variety of sustenance to give in times of need for whenever that occurs. Thank you both for your consistent advice and tutorials that help people like us be as efficient as possible.

With the detergent water bottle, I have one I keep outside from Spring to Fall for use near the grill. I place a towel around the carry handle and secure it with a rubber band. This way I always have a towel for my hands, it's not going to fall to the ground after use or in winds and I can easily switch it out for washing. And while I've seen folks attach a roll of paper towels to these jugs, cloth is much more sustainable. Thanks for the great vid!

One hack i use, is instead of the notebooks grab and go, i use a jump drive/flash drive, i scan important documents and keep in a fire brook suitcase, just grab that case and we are good to go. Takes up a lot less room and keeps them a little bit more secure. My children know where they are, but no one else.

We take a sharpie with us when we go to the grocery store. All of the boxed canned or jarred items that we purchase when we read the date on them we write the year in large letters on the front and top of each. This allows us to quickly navigate our pantries. If we need tomatoes for instance we just reach for the tomatoes with the smallest number on them. It is kept us from throwing out a lot of food I’m sure.

I pick up items like cupcake liners to keep in the house. Mostly so that if I wanted to hand out snacks, like candies or fishy crackers, I fill the little paper and they eat from those. No dirty dishes. Little waste. If they are dry snacks, that can be used all day but most importantly is that they are good measure of a serving. Rather than sit with a whole bag. Conserving what you have is important. I’ve trained my kids on them and even as teens now, they have a better idea of a a serving size. Similarly, we use cake size paper plates, not full size, if we are using those. Again, it’s about serving size tricks.

I liked the hygiene water and brown sugar hacks, recently we had the water shut off here, so was a good test of water /sanitation preps. I have a soap container like that one so when its empty, ill use that. One thing that was interesting was how habitual it is to try and flush the toilet, or use the taps, even when you know its off XD Molasses is very popular around here, so that's a great idea to add to the white sugar i have on hand for barter, etc. One "hack" I use is totes vs 5 gallon buckets for long term storage, they hold twice what a 5 gallon bucket will, I use the 2 or 3 gallon size mylar bags, they will hold a 8kg bag of rice, the standard size around here, and oddly a better deal than the bigger ones, and if you get the heavy duty ones, theyre stack able and support a lot of weight, so you can run them up a wall as high as youre comfortable with given your local seismic conditions (luckily we're very calm here) to keep them out of the way. Great video, Many Blessings XD

@@joyceterra2265 Yeah, a lot of the storage options would be location dependent. In my case, luckily for this issue, i'm in a building that has rodent control, its a small city by US standards, but not rural/ag country, so most of the vermin here are looking for other sources. Then in my place, I have two T-1000 mouse terminators on patrol 24/7 XD. So far so good, and i have a mix of bags that have been frozen, waiting to be packed, some packed in mylar, and some already toted at any given time. Now, if I was out in the country and near farms, like you are, and say if my preps were stored in an out building, that gets rarely visited, etc. for sure, I wouldnt be able to get away with just totes. My main reason for the toes, is to avoid the cost of shelving/ pantry building I would need/want to do if I was in a permanent house. My preps need to be able to be (relatively) easily moved (seems about every 4 yrs a move comes up) & when fully completed, the option to have more decentralized storage, so I can grab a tote or two in a real crisis and most of what i need will be in there (food cell) & not one tote of fats, one of grain, one of dried meat, etc. As they say, your mileage may vary, so a lot of factors go into it. What works for me, may not work for others. I'm glad you mentioned it, i never thought of the apartment as a plus, but in this case, it sort of is, thanks XD

Thank you. Yes that is why I mentioned it. I have always lived in the country. I have always used totes for specific items a d shelving for home canned goods. I never had so much as a mouse in my home. When we moved here to the farm, I was appalled at the rat population. It seemed like they all lived in my basement. It took us a little over a year to eradicate the infestation. Now I get maybe one or two every other month. Bit in the meantime, I lost a lot of food that were in totes. The totes are easier to maneuver and stack though. I like the hefty totes because they are of a higher quality construction. The cheaper walmart totes, for example, are great if you do not put anything on top. The lids collapse almost instantly, defeatging the purpose. I used the totes mainly for storing my mylar bagged dehydrated foods. Between the rats and the humidity, I have had to learn a whole new way to store, preserve and package all.foods. I love farm life but like with anything in life, we learn to adapt. Your totes idea is a great tip though.

So I hope that you are part of a network of people that are going to help you protect that stuff. Please have a lot of ammo and weapons to protect all that stuff, or you WILL lose it. Or maybe, have a Very Good plan to bugout with all your preps. Maybe have a bugout location preplanned where you can store half of your preps? Maybe a place where there is a water well so you don't have to store water. Everyone thinks about storing up food to survive SHTF, but fail to think about protecting it.

My pantry looks slightly different. The supplies are all in tin cans, the cans in cardboard boxes, in the cheapest wooden racks I could find. The cardboard boxes each contain six cans and I wrote on the boxes what they contain. When we would be forced to leave our home, we can quickly load a big part of our boxes with supplies into a trailer. When SHTF and our supplies shrink, we can use the cardboard boxes and the wooden racks to fuel our wood stove. We bought most of our supplies in tin cans. Canned food has several advantages; it is ready to eat, contains it's own liquid and requires no fuel to cook. We even have bread, potatoes, rice, beans and pasta in cans - when SHTF, we might soon run out of water or fuel to cook - and rice, beans et etera are almost useless if you cannot boil them. The remarkable thing is, that exactly these basic items only are available in small quantities in the stores in our region, so it takes a long time and many visits to the stores to collect them in numbers. We only buy canned food that can be stored almost indefinitely. In normal life, we eat almost all our food fresh. So we hardly rotate any canned food in our pantry. We started four years ago, everything in our pantry is still in good condition and we expect it to last much longer without it becoming bad. At the moment we fear that the S will HTF much sooner than we like.

Perhaps put your Christmas decoration bins in front of them? Even if this means building a shelf in front or something? I’ve told my kids in the event of something real going down, we put what we can in the Christmas bins (we have many) and they are labeled Christmas, and we bury other stuff. We made a bridge out back in the yard during Covid (one of our home projects) to connect two areas in the yard. It’s like a sidewalk, pretty with lights and rocks down the side. But underneath, should we need, in one night we could hollow out under that brings and quick let move many of our buckets underneath it. NO ONE WOULD KNOW! Put the cardboard back over them, currently underneath the pallet bridge to keep weeds from coming up, and replace the pallets with eh bridge boards on top. If you don’t know how we built it, you wouldn’t know it was basically modular. We did t build it to do this, but damn it, it’s an option now!

That usually equates to sluggish metabolism. (Energy) I try to eat mostly food that has value. If I get hungry i just drink a full 8 oz glass of water. I have 2 oz of complete liquid vitamin each day. (Twice if i fast) I'm 70 years young and 115 lbs., and grow all my own vegetables and berries. This works for me but not saying it works for everyone. Soon I think we are all going to have to cut to one meal and also learn to fast. If you can start a garden do so, no matter how small. Just start, and add to it, it is not as easy as some think. Learn now, order seeds. Going to be harder to get soon. God Bless.

I’m new to all this....wouldn’t it be smarter to package up what you could use in reference to dry goods, for say a month and store that in a Mylar bag instead of a huge 5 gallon buckets worth? Basically like individual portions but portions for the month. Then when you break open the monthly portioned Mylar bag or pasta, rice, flour etc, store that in a ziplock or Tupperware container for use during the month.

I store my brown sugar in the freezer in its original package. It stays soft and when I need to fill my short term pantry container it is easy to just dump it in. Even if the power goes out it, is still usable.

I freeze my dry goods except sugar for several days to help kill off any bugs. With flour I freeze it then after it reaches room temperature again... I put 5 cups in a paper bag, fold bag over snugly and tape shut... Then I vacuum seal. The flour doesn't clog up my vacuum sealer that way.

Remember to store an extra pair of eyeglasses where you can get to them if an earthquake jolts you out of bed. I have mine in my small outdoor camper trailer. My Aunt keeps hers in her 72 hr bag near her front door since she's had evacuations for tsunamis.

As a santitation and food safety specialist...do not leave scoops in your buckets, unless, you handle with a clean pair of gloves each time. Cross conaminatuon from your hands on the handle that then lands on the food, can and will cause issues. I am impressed by your rotation policies. We call it fifo..first in first out
