Any way you can show how you vacuum seal jars and things?

Hello! I watched your video and so glad you prepare. I’m not going through all the comments to see if your question on here was answered. I’m referring to your Mylar bags and Oxygen Absorbers. You can use the Mylar bags for things like cereal however they still don’t last as long as something that had been dried (example beans or oats) and DO NOT use the oxygen absorbers for any type of food that already has moisture in them(example, brown rice, cereal, granola, jerky) it can create a toxic poison in your food. You’re doing great and just wanted to answer your question and I apologize is someone else already has.

Please don't show your pantry if shtf their coming for you!!

Where is your canned meat

If SHTF, people would just loot grocery stores and nearby houses. They're not going to hop on KZfaq and watch random pantry tour videos to see if they can find anyone who lives within 15 states of them, so they can drive fir 400 hours to steal a lifetime supply of pickles.

Thank you for sharing this tip!

@Kemp Freehold can you give more specifics- like actual temperature and length of time please? Thanks for this information!

@@RachelTAllen the lowest your oven will go. Most are about 200 degrees F. Length of time depends on the item. I start checking at the 8 min mark

Great tip thank you!

@@kempfreehold9450 thank you so much for your quick response! I am going to use your wonderful tip!! Take care!!

Thank you so much Julie. 💜

She is!!! I, too, LOVE seeing this. Beautiful, strong, smart woman! 😁🙏🏼❤️

Yes, she certainly is!

But are you ready to stop someone willing to take everything you have? We need to be ready to Defend what we have worked hard for.

@@jackofalltradesprepping9611 let's just calm down on your murder fantasy...

You are so funny Stephanie. Thank you so much! Hey, slow and steady wins the race. Do what you can do, even if it’s a little at a time. Hope you’re doing well. Stay safe 💜

My nephew calls mine “the Bodega”

Thanks for watching Sarah!

You can use g those on any door. I have 7 of them. I put medications n vitamins in them, small games, cards, dice. Shampoos n bathroom items. Batteries n flashlights.

been prepping for quite a while. Love the shoe organizer. Gonna steal that idea. Great vid, sub'd

I agree with that

@@Sabbathissaturday Have you looked into food forests? Or the secret garden of survival? You can cut back on work because they come back each year and if you get thieves when things get tough, they will have a harder time finding the produce versus the well organize beds. They do take a few years to produce, but brambles like raspberries fruit the second year.

@@Sabbathissaturday I would love to learn from you.

Banana Q that’s awesome! How’d it turn out? Thank you so much for the kinds words. 💜

I’m 67 and started last year. Little at a time.

I can’t believe people are making fun of you for that with what we are currently going to. After seeing how quickly the shelves go empty during hard times, anyone who doesn’t see the necessity of stocking up for rainy days is an idiot in my opinion.

*Going through

for us the time was 2016 wheni got injured at work so i started to coupon i didnt prep but i did always buy alot of extra food..and now 2020 when they sent hubby home that was wake up call to really step it up.. couponing helped me get all essentials and emergency supplies..i didnt focus too much on food and how to store it and now i am...i started like about 6 months ago just buying food now i just have to tranfer everything into mylar bags and buckets...i have 2 pantires the working pantry we touch constantly and another for long term storage... a job loss and financial difficulties will force you to have to do this so yes it has helped us when we have been hella broke ..even if we cant go out and have a burger we can at least sit at home and eat what we have ...t

Never let anyone know that you are a prepper. You don’t want everyone showing up at your door when the SHTF.

A year later, I bet they're not making fun of you anymore

Thank you! I have the paper packages of yeast in the freezer, but didn’t the jars could be kept in the freezer. Not sure why lol.

If you store yeast anywhere from 32-68 degrees it will be fine. Been making wine and bread for years and never keep it in the fridge or freezer anymore. Also, they have found bottles of beer in the Baltic Sea from the early 1800s; the yeast inside was still viable and a university isolated it and now makes beer from that 200 year old yeast strain.

@@worldofappolonia the glass could shatter I think.

Absolutely

Exactly Sherry! Spam will sound like a gourmet dish for those who have nothing at all.

@@sunshinestatesurvival Exactly!

You are so right. I think she has an outstanding stockpile. I’d say the only thing left would be water and having the stuff to hand,to sterilise water if shtf really hits- water may be turned off and you need a back up way to keep it clean and drinkable.other than that,very Impressive. Very !!

Hi Sunshine State. You two young ladies are my favorite! So proud of you both. Keep up the great work!

Thank you!

Love that idea

Over the door shoe holders are awesome for so many things

That show track is a great idea. I always talk rude kids we maximize shelf space. This is another way I'll be adopting😊

Fab idea!!! I'm getting one for my pantry 😊 xx

Hi Lisa! 🤗 Thank you! Hey, we all can only do what we can at our own pace. Hope you’ve been doing well. 💜

Thank you for sharing!

The three things that mainly spoil food are oxygen, moisture and light. This is why most people recommend Mylar bags and a cool, dark and dry place to store long term items. This is one of the better pantries I have seen but the work required is immense. Most of these items have about a 2 year shelf life before they spoil when stored in the original packaging and some items that contain baking powder such as the pre-mix pancake and baking items spoil in about a year. Lots of rotating stock to keep it fresh but heck when it’s a survival situation you gonna eat what you can get.

@@Mark-em5zm and temperature. Which you addressed in comment but temperature is a big one and with these new heat domes, it's going to change things.

The Survivalist, it is so important for all of us to start preparing. I wish I had started sooner!

@@worldofappolonia Same here!

she has beautiful handwriting on the storage labels

@Yasmine Mitchell Yasmine, start within your budget. I have 3 pantries; a working pantry that I use daily, a short term pantry with 6 months of food storage, and a long term pantry that only has rice, a variety of beans and pasta, some store bought canned meat and some 10 year shelf life items from Auguston Farms, and a few soups and veggies I canned myself. I continue to add to my short term pantry as I can because for my family, 6 months of food is not enough. I only want to go to my long term pantry if necessary. I said all that to say, you can begin a short term pantry by picking up items within your budget ( items you use everyday, canned goods with a 1 to 3 year shelf life, and other items you use stored in airtight containers). I have dry goods (oats, flour, sugar, etc. in a closet I converted into a pantry in airtight containers, along with canned goods (chicken, tuna, a variety of beans, condiments, applesauce, etc). It's only me and my son but I buy a little extra should my daughters need something. I also have a deep freezer I keep full. Always had a working/short term pantry and deep freezer as this was normal when I was growing up. Only starting prepping (2018 ) the long term pantry as I've kept abreast of things happening globally. Just start a little at a time if you haven't already. Get your children involved. It's life's lessons they can carry into the future. Much luck to you😉

Great Comment !!! She is Awesome Prepping for her Family. I too was Blessed to stay at Home with the kids. You wont Ever regret it. When your kids are older they will let You know they Appreciated what You Did.

Bingo

Thank you CopperLace.

You are so sweet Debra. Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m so happy that you’re enjoying my channel. 💜

I am looking forward to learning! 💜

Much healthier

@@worldofappolonia Just remember that pasta, rice grains and thickeners are not approved for canning .Add them when you open the jar and heat.

I’ve been loving canning soups lately too.

My mom canned homemade soup as well but it was always very watery and tasted a bit off because she wouldn’t follow recipes by cutting salt and other ingredients by half because she thought it was healthier. First thing we done was jazz it up with spices and crackers or something for thickening which included salt, so all her planning to make it healthier went to the wayside to make it more palatable.

Yes Nido Fortifacado is the Best. But any Dry Milk is really ok. I store my Dry Milk in a Canning Jar to help may it last longer for long term.

At about 24 minutes she showed it.

@Melissa thanks hun.

I 2nd Nido

I buy dollar tree milk, shelf stable, good for 2 years

Thank you so much Barbara!

Thank you so much Carmen. 💜

So happy you enjoyed Linda. Hey, we have to find space where we can. The shelving units are the best thing ever.

Thank you Tina!

Thanks so much Amanda!

Thank you so much Suburban Cottage!

Thanks so much Rachel. I’m so happy you enjoyed. ☺️

The dry milk is ok. But, you can add some to the shelf stable for a little extra protein. You can also add in if you make yogurt. It works great in pancake mix or any baking mix.

Thanks hun. ☺️

That means so much Cher. Thank you so much! I hope you have been doing well.

Thanks so much Mercedes. I see you pushing out these videos! Keep up the great work! ☺️

Thank you so much Tommy!

Agree

Thank you!

Thank you Sandra!

Wow! Now that’s food for thought. I’ll check into grass fed dairy products. Thank you!

I think we take our meat and dairy products for granted here in N.Ireland. I have never had a problem with dairy. As you have said probably because cattle are grazing on grass most of year or dried grass (Silage) in winter when housed in the barns. But I know I don’t drink milk abroad as get sick. Probably just different bacteria in foods.

@@charm8167 In the US, there are loads of additives in many milk products -- it's more about being on the shelf longer than being healthy. Our milk is almost always "ultra-pasturized" too. Also, too much herbicides being used (glyphosate/RoundUp). I've had Nubian dairy goats for years and their fresh milk is nothing like store-bought white-liquid. Heck, here in the US, juices extracted from nuts are also called "milk" so that should tell you how messed up our commercial food system really is.

Thanks so much for subbing Julia. It’s good to hear that you’re prepping. I can’t believe I waited this long to start. I’ll always prep now. Thanks so much for watching!

I'm a Vet and have my old mre's from 20yrs ago. I also garden so I can stuff and prep. Now that grocery stores are bare or limit what you can get, I'm sitting comfy. Good luck with your preps

@@fmfdocbotl4358 niceeee... I’ve just been trying to stock up on canned meat like chicken, spam, tuna, pepperoni, etc.. I don’t have any mre’s Babe and I thought about buying the package food at Walmart in the camping isle. I just started last year. We decided to get a little bit of everything instead of picking one thing to stock up on..so we got candles, batteries, a $ 500 generator, vitamins, propane, tissue soap, toothbrushes & toothpaste, water etc.

@@JuliaB2 a good place to check also are military surplus stores and outdoor stores.

@@fmfdocbotl4358 ok thank u

So, I'm new to mylar bags.. also. You're saying to use 2 oxygen absorbers?. And they are to have no air? I do have a sealer..

You aren’t supposed to vacuum seal mylar.

Thank you so much! I would have more if space allowed. Slow and steady wins the race. You’ll get there! Keep prepping!

I think we need bigger house lol

Thank you so much Peaches! 💜

Thanks so much Kayla!

You’ve got this Amber! 💪🏽 Just do what you can little by little.

She and a lot of people that does this should think about donating

My friends laughed at me for prepping until they were out of power and water during the storm. I was cooking chicken a la king and living good because I'm prepared. I am going to get a pressure canner soon to advance my preps.

@@patriciashort7908 the point of this is actually to keep enough for her family and maybe even extended family or neighbors during an emergency. Donating would be great if she’s restocking and getting rid of things close to the expiration date. But honestly, it’s rude to tell someone that they should donate their stuff when they worked to have it and bought it for a reason.

Patricia Short why the hell would she donate? What donate to u? Start you own pantry you selfish person. Your the type if shtf you would be the first one to come a steal from her. Shut up and sit down!!!!!!!!

I pay around €4 for a box of 12 here in Ireland
