Where did you get he can organizer shelf??

I am a beekeeper. Honey does not "go bad"; however, it will "sugar" after a period of time. How quickly this happens depends upon the type of honey. Liquidity can be regained by setting your honey jar in a pot of hot water and stirring periodically.

Not food, but in the grocery category, don’t forget things like toothpaste, soap and similar items as well as OTC medications and basic first aid supplies.

For longer shelf life, I recommend purchasing canned goods that do not have the pull tab to open them. It is this type of seal that lessens the shelf life.

NOTE: Putting Bay leaves in flour, rice and beans, prevents them from getting bugs.

I love my son so much and after the COVID situation with food shortages I vowed to be more prepared for both our sakes. Ladies Don’t forget feminine products, tampons, sanitary pads, thrush and cystitis medications. You never know when you might need it

Im so surprised at how many comments are negative or sounds like people have no idea about food storage! Yours is awesome! Keep on keepin on 🥰 what freedom to know we are able to take care of our families in a crisis.

I am a UK prepper, starting around 6 years ago and I am certainly glad I did, with current scarcity and price increases. Already there are limits on the cooking oil bottles you can buy at the supermarket and I still have 26 litres/40 pints. I have learnt from this video, which will help me in re-building stock even higher. One little tip I gained from a US prepper was to freeze your bags of flour for a couple of days before long-term storage in airtight containers. This keeps the flour free from weevils. I obviously forgot to freeze one, opened it several months later, and it did have some tiny creatures moving in it. Harmless, maybe, but not very appetizing. Especially for a vegetarian like me 🙂, although I store tinned meat, Spam, etc, which I would soon eat if hungry enough! I do not follow the use-by date too religiously, some canned food from WW2 having been found edible after some 100 years. Same goes for many jar/packet.freeze dried foods, the manufacturers having to be very conservative with those dates imho. I keep a spreadsheet with sections for canned food, packet food, jar food, etc, and label each item with its own number (A100, A101, etc) for identification. I have columns for Description, Ref No, Size/weight/quantity, Use-by date, Price paid per item, Quantity, etc. to help me stock take, as I am now. It helps a lot. I just wish I could get family (with 2 sons and 3 grandchildren) to follow suit, but they do not see the warning signs. Now mid-70's, I have to also prep with them in mind as best I can but is a worry. Just about to buy a tall garage-suited (low temperatures) freezer for more capacity. In readiness for the (inevitable) coming worldwide financial crash, I have got much cash got out of the banking system, bought gold, silver, Bitcoin and other cryptos and keep cash at home. Also, a daily Bible read. All part of preparedness - but that is another story. Keeping quiet about your prepping/stacking plans has to be a wise thing. Thanks for the video and Best wishes from the UK.

Don't forget to buy several can openers in case you lose yours or it breaks

Why in my 22 years of living just now finding out what a “prepper” is?? It’s killing me because I been one my whole life. Now I’m finding out there’s a whole community who share common mindsets, feels good to know I’m not alone. It all started with zebra cakes and ramen noodles in my tote bucket in my closet when I was 8

Before Corona I used to think you people were crazy, now I'm a believer!

People will be swarming to your house in hoards to beg or steal when something drastic happens. Most people refuse to prepare for the unexpected, even when constantly being told to, but have no issue taking what they want by force from others who spent time preparing. Loved the video, stay safe.

I wish my family would listen to me about this. Been preaching it for almost 2 yrs and they say God will take care of them. I'm a believer and my God has supplied all my needs according to His riches...and I've been prepping with the supplies 😂. My sister told me she was going to come to my house. I told her she'd better bring something to the table on a massive scale!

There was a time when I was younger, I had heat exhaustion, and a redhead, so I burned easily. We didn't have gatorade back then. My grandma gave me dill pickle juice, to drink(great for dehydration) and put apple cider vinegar on my burn. It really did help take the sting out of the burn and helped to cool me off, then we used noxema. Just a little pickle juice helped me with my nausea and was close to being like gatorade. Grams was born in the year 1900. Thanks Grandma. She was also a redhead.😍

Learn to make your own yeast and keep your beans, rice, flour and lentils in mylar bags. Additionally, if you can grow food, use Ball cans to store through winter. Microgreens take only a few days to grow. Stock up on seeds.

If you are in an emergency, it’s important not to forget about the water heater having a 40-80 gallon supply of fresh water. Easy to drain out if you need it.

I’ve heard to keep yeast in the freezer. You might consider putting doors on your prepped pantry so it’s not so visible. Also maybe hang some canvas covering over the garage shelves if you open the garage door and neighbors can see inside. You don’t want to advertise your preps.

Thank you for mentioning to not panic buy and also, that you did this over many years (and use your food as you go). Practical and important tips!

I grew up on the coast where the hurricanes plagued us yearly. We would be out of electricity up to a month depending on the severity. My family keeps 12 totes each containing enough food for our family of 4 a month. Also we keep 4 totes containing each enough personal care (health, beauty, and hygiene), and cleaning supplies. We also have enough paper goods for a year at all times.

The buckets fro Home Depot are great for storage- they also sell “Gamma Lids” to keep air out and creepy crawlers.. Did you know that you don’t have to throw out bug infested rice! Won’t kill you, and you can pick them out or freeze for 3 days..

God bless your hubby…for past 2 years I stock piled mine yelled at me saying I was loosing my mind..we are truckers I saw what was coming I also knew my career was going to be lost due to my eyesight I bought above ground beds to be delivered and stacked up in my shed, bought 20 lb tubs to make wicking tubs and grow bags along with canning jars I only have 375 jars 😩 but I stocked our home and bought seeds that my family eats used my last paycheck to buy my gardening soil to be delivered this Wednesday! That was my largest experience at 1 time. Trying to get hubby on board with a shallow well and Berkeley filter. I need shelves so badly have stuff crammed under beds and closets and cabinets

I've been watching a lot of prepping vids lately to prepare my family but I think yours is absolutely perfect! For those that think they don't have the room to prep: I've seen people put water in 2 ltr bottles and store under their beds, put food in labeled totes and store in a garage or closet, some have even buried sealed buckets in their back yard, gardens or plant beds. We have to be creative with the space we have. You won't need 100 pairs of shoes or a closet full of outdated or unused clothes...food, water and necessities are vital to survival in any emergency situation. But above all else, be right with God. Repent, pray, read your bibles! Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. I pray everyone does their part. Be blessed 🙏🙌❤

A true perfectionist. That house is that organized with four children... Commendable

Beautiful job! I live in a small one story apartment complex, and my space for food storage is pretty limited. Luckily, our landlady is a prepper, so she's helped get us organized. She has built fencing around those of us who wanted it, and put together a community garden and plan! She's put aside extra storage in her own area for big bags and cans of long term basic foodstuffs for us, and just finished putting up a very large shed in our communial area for more storage. We're in the city but now on well water and we're ready thanks to her.. I'm so incredibly grateful 🙏 to her! May your viewers with similar opportunities to assist singles and seniors (like me) please know that they can make a world of difference.

I've been gardening for 15+ years but I'm doing a "double" garden this year. I normally grow what we need for the year and can everything myself. This year I'm doing 60 tomato plants instead of 30, 40 pepper plants instead of 20, 270 onion sets, ect. Growing organic food is the way to go if you really want to prep.

You’re killing it! Forget hurricanes. You’re ready for the zombie apocalypse. 👍

When we lived in Germany during the early 1960's my Mum bought a tinned whole chicken in aspic. It was never opened and stayed in her food store until she died in 2012. When we were clearing her house I opened the tin. The chicken was in perfect condition and smelt fine although none of us dared try it! This chicken was over 50 years old.

I have several children and only one of them has ever been so cheeky as to bite food packages the way your daughter has. While watching your video, I said to my husband 'Omg it looks like we've found our son's future wife!' Haha! She's adorable. :) Great video btw.

That little girl is too cute, she is a good helper. I like how organized your house is . You have a beautiful family.

Don't forget a package of dried egg replacer to go with those baking mixes. I also like the Betty Crocker cookie mixes to keep people happy when they are eating beans and rice.

I love that you prep. Young women today are scary, they don't seem to realize how uncertain times are these days. I'm an old woman and glad I don't have to worry about anyone else, cause I'm alone and on the downhill side of life. I was also taught to plan for war, while there's peace. In other words be prepared. I watch them shop week to week, mostly junk food or quick fix. It makes me worry about so many innocent dependent children out there. God be with them. God bless you and your family.♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️

Wow! I have never seen a more organized pantry! I would also add cleaning supplies, bathroom/kitchen supplies, first aid kit, medicines and prescriptions, candles, batteries, lighters, and personal care items.

A woman well worthy of the title, Mother and Wife. Great job!

Of the Soups, I feel the Chunky is the best bang for the buck. I'm a Disaster Response Coordinator for the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. You did an EXCELLENT job making this video!

I have never seen a food storage so organized as that. Unreal. Love it!!!! That Food Storage is Off The Chain!!! 😁😁😁😁😁❤❤❤❤❤

This woman is so organized it is ridiculous! This takes time, so good on her! I have most of the same stuff, and rotate regularly. Still, my setup looks nothing like this! The best tip here, is to buy extras of things you are already buying and using. Stocking up on things, that nobody eats, just means those items will get old and not get eaten. At that point, it becomes pig or chicken feed, which is not so bad, but expensive swine feed.

I cannot believe how clean your kitchen counters are with no toaster etc. and your shelving is amazing

..im a Filipina...56 yrs of age...i admire u of being a mother with your kids...i admire your way of budgeting...the practical way of stacking ..im just started making my pantry...and i follow your guidelines...

Good job momma , don’t ever feel extreme about providing food for your family 😃exspecially the times we are in . Godbless your family

When buying potato flakes, it’s best to buy them without butter or other added flavors. Single ingredients last longer.

Amazing stockpile of food for your family. You might be saving it for the end of the video but part of food preps should be freeze dried that is packed in a way it can easily be tossed into the car in case you have to evacuate the area. Also need water filtration and dust masks or better quality masks to survive smoke or other contamination in the air.... safety googles that seal off the eyes are also good to have in the go bags. But again, in terms of food shortages that might be on the horizon, your family owes you a huge thank-you hug. Well done.

LOL! I like the idea of having a micro Costco in my house whether there’s an emergency or not.

We also learned to do intermittent fasting so we eat only one delicious meal a day - to satiation, no more, no less, and that lessens the food burden while keeping us healthy in spite of what we eat; we don't eat sugary foods and that helps us stay healthy too. But I do plan to get a lot of local honey with honeycomb - a treat.

My 3.5 gallon Berkey is easily one of the BEST investments I've made. They're beasts. We're sisters in spirit, lol. Your pantry looks a lot like mine! We have coffee, paper products, hygeine supplies, medical and barter stuff like tobacco and liquor stacked to the ceiling. Gotta love it!

Heat is quite the destroyer of food storage. We had a lot of our long term food storage items get wrecked from the heat of a garage. Be careful!

Very nice pantry. Here are the things that I would add: 1.) Water filters - add coffee and tea filters 2.) Drink Mixes - there are the items you mentioned plus Tang, crystal lite, teas, coffees coco, Ovaltine 3.) meals ready to eat (You got that covered) 4.) Beans (You got that covered) 5.) Rice (You got that covered) [don't forget a rice cooker] 6.) Fruits - dried and packaged like cranberries, blueberries, raisins, apricot, dates, pineapple, and other dried fruits, in cans and packages. 7.) Vegetables - various dried vegetables. (Good soup starters) 8.) 25 lb bag of flour (It will fit in a 5 gal bucket) all purpose & self raising 9.) 25 lb bag wheat flour (it will fit in a 5 gal bucket) 10.) Other flours as desired (Buckwheat, almond etc.) 11.) yeast - small packages as well as a large package, kept in the freezer for long lasting life. 12.) Baking powder (Kept in an air tight container.) 13.) Baking Soda (Kept in an air tight container) Not if you get washing soda you can make your own Baking soda. 14.) 20 lb of salt (Kept in an air tight container) Kosher [used for canning]. 15.) 20 lb of salt (Kept in an air tight container) with iodine. 16.) 10 lb of Sea salt - for taste or preference. 17.) Pasta & Noodles (You got that covered). 18.) Pasta sauce (You got that covered) But if you can your own, remember you can dry the skins of the tomato to make tomato powder or sun dried tomatoes. From tomatoes you can make sauce, paste, powdered and dried. 19.) Spices What you can't use you can place in a freezer they will last longer. (You an grow your own.) 20.) Milk (You got that covered) 21.) Oatmeal and other grain foods (Remove them from their boxes and put them into a longer lasting container.) 22.) Can Meat - Tuna, sardines, anchovies, chicken breast, spam, corn beef, ravioli's, Vienna sausage, salmon (What you don't like you an barter with.) 23.) Sugar - natural and artificial (A 25 lb bag of natural sugar will fit a 5 gal bucket) (A 10 lb bag of Splenda can help sweeten a meal or baked item) (SUGAR Beet powder can also help during cooking) (Powder sugar -10lb bag in an air tight container.) 24.) Honey - 20 to 25 lb of honey. It will last for a life time. (Keep it in an airtight container.) If it hardens just put it in a pot of hot water and allow to melt- stirring frequently. 25.) black strap molasses - 25 lb container. it is an alternate to sugar. 26.) oil - vegetable, canola, corn, rice, olive, avocado, what ever you like. The more you use the bigger the container you should get for example vegetable i would get a 5 gal container 27.) soy sauce - a large container 28.) steak sauce - A1 or Worcestershire sauce, #10 cans of ketchup 29.) Vinegar - Rice, White and Apple Cider etc (Learn to make your own Vinegar) 30.) potatoes - can, instant, flakes, frozen, #10 can(s) etc. 31.) Peanutbutter - (You got that covered) 32.) Jams and Jellies - make your own or purchase what you like. 33.) Cereals - remove them from their boxes and store them in airtight containers (Prevents spoilage and insect or rodent infestation.) 34.) Pancake mix (You got that covered) 35.) Syrup - natural and corn syrup (Purchase 3 jugs and they will last 1 year.) Maple syrup is expensive and can be used for other items or cooking. Use it according to your tastes. These are my suggestions. Hope this helps. :-)

I like the idea of putting a few bay leaves in with rice to keep the bugs out, and freezing flour before storing, for the same reason.

Your knowledge and way of life is admirable and you made sure your family is well equipped for any emergency. I am blessed to be born and raised in New Zealand because compared to other first world countries we are fairly independent and we are so far away from other countries. I love your channel and knowing that your family is prepared makes me feel relieved. Your family are amazing role models. I'm sending you love and prayers from me in New Zealand. Xx

I LOVE YOU!!! Your food storage area is a beautiful thing to behold! I also face all my items to the front, and keep things in rows, so I know what's behind the front item, will be the same, or similar. All of your storage containers, bins and boxes are amazing! You even have those roller tray things for the soup, that rolls the next one forward after you remove the front can! I'll have to get my husband to check this out, and build me the storage of my dreams!!

I started serious prepping after my mom and dad lost their home in the 2011 tornado in our state. It took all of thirty seconds for them to have to begin all over again. They were in their late 70’s at the time. I had always kept extras for my pantry stock pile, but not to the extent I do now. Thank you for sharing this. I do hope people are watching this and getting prepared.

Her display is so clean and organized I thought I was in PUBLIX. 🤣

To help with food storage I would recommend getting a home freeze dryer. It’s pricy but really worth it in the end!! My family got a freeze dryer and it is really really good when storing our food!!!

Also, should have a rainwater collection system with a good water filtration system and large solar electrical collection panels with storage batteries if you get good sunlight in your area. A strong cement wall barrier around your home to reduce criminal activities towards you and your family.

Honey never expires. It can crystallize but it's still edible and be heated up to get rid of the crystallization.

As a semi-prepper I think your shelves/organization are perhaps one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen! Great job! Keep it up!

Wow I’m so impressed!!! You are using and rotating them is such a big job and you have done really good wow ! Just wow!!!

EXACTLY !!! You are saying what I've been saying to different folks FOR YEARS !!! 👍😲

She has a grocery store in her house 😂 nice

It’s the cans of soda organized in rainbow for me! 😍

Lady, you are AWESOME and a great organizer!! Wow!! 🤗🌹

Nicely done, very neat and organized. I would look at transferring boxed items into glass containers for longer shelf lives

After watching this I realized I need to step my game up!

Mouse proof things in those metal gift boxes that Wal-Mart sells for 90 percent off at Wal-Mart after Christmas. I bought 10 of them for 45 cents each and they keep the mice out and also keeps things in the dark

I watched this again. I keep sauerkraut because my family came from Northern Europe and that's what they ate in the winter. We get power outages in winter here in Illinois. Thanks.

I'm so impressed, 4 kids and totally organized.

My perfectionist's soul just LOVES how well it organized!

Simply can't stress enough how important having food storage available is, especially these days. Great informative video. Thanks for posting.

Make sure if you decide to long term store flour or cake mix etc... freeze it for a few days before storage to help kill the bug eggs.

Thank you for this wonderful video. I am brand new to food preppering, And am in the overwhelmed stage. I took lots of notes in my new prepper notebook. This has been a big help to getting the process organized. Thanks again

Nothing has made me feel less prepared for a disaster then the increase in prepper videos I’ve seen lately 🤦🏻‍♀️

Growing up in Southern California as a Mormon I’ve been doing food storage my whole life then living in Texas working in food pantries and food banks I’ve learned a lot, when your looking at your dates that is to sell by date date your canned goods are good 5 years after sell by date and you can still use them after that 5 years it’s still good same with your rice and beans, they might not be as fresh but still very good, do your research you’ll learn a lot about your dates, even your frozen meats if there properly seal and stored there good for years, one of your best friends will be vacuum sealer, research is great before you toss it out.

Your pantry ideas are GREAT! My family is grown and out of the nest. I’m now trying to create a pantry for (1) yes, just me. So I’m thinking 1 can of some of my favorites. Thank you again for the tour of your ideas!!!

Loved how you involved your daughter! She is Delightful!

It's good to be prepared and make sure our family is safe as well as others are also safe 😃🙂😉☺️

I love how your secret storage places look like an aisle in grocery stores

What a cute helper you have there. She's precious. I love your pantry tips.

Glad to see you mentioned a good Water Filter. Most prepper's would have left this one out. Since water is your first or second priority in survival I would add a few water filter straws. If your bottled water goes out you may need to go to water found outside.

Hi person scrolling threw the comments if you didn’t know you are beautiful, nice, and grateful

Most of those foods will last way longer than the best by date. Especially the canned goods.

Now this is a pantry! Most of the things you have are easy to prepare!

Thanks for the details. You have an amazingly supply of food for your wonderful family. As a vegan I have bags of brown rice, quinoa, and several types of beans, and nuts. Some humans like brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice, because they are both much higher in nutrition. With water the Berkey is a great choice, but you need to out the water IN something for storage. Some health food stores sell glass gallon bottles or even blue plastic durable containers for water (whole foods also sells these). Cheap water bottles gallon water comes in are not durable and will eventually leak (6 months to a year). If you have a house you can consider having a cistern water storage system installed. You also might want to stock chlorine dioxide or some similar water treatment liquid. Cheers.

I like the organizational ideas. We went a different route with the food we store because it was cheaper to buy basic ingredients than to buy so much manufactured food--which does have a place if you need to eat but can't stop to prepare a meal. So we have a mix, but rely mainly on dried beans, rices, barley, quinoa, and amaranth, plus canned salmon and home canned chicken. There's always a pot of soup on and cornbread made, and all the basic vegetables that we grow.

The yeast will last longer if you keep the packages in the freezer :)

Food shortages announced by your country's president as i see this in 2022 is why I'm watching this. You so well prepped, nice! If your country has this problem I know your countrys allies will be following and expecting the same issues. Thank you so much for your tips and tricks!

I often use pickle brine to make salad dressings and as a replacement for vinegar. Also, peanut butter powder can be added to a lot of things for added protein and nutrition…

If i ever saw that video before the COVID 19 pandemic, and quarantine, i would definitely said it was too much . But after that period , i think it is super wise to have an emergency stock of food and toiletries, and everyone can estimate what does he really needs. Thank you so much for sharing . And may God keep us all safe ❤️

You are very wise to have food storage! You can feel more comfortable knowing that you can provide for your family in an emergency. We don't have the storage you do, but we do have a good size pantry which provides space enough to store extra stables. ☺💗💞💗💞💗

For canned goods & most things actually, as you say “ shelf life” isn’t actually true. Those are best by dates. If properly stored & the cans aren’t damaged, swollen, rusty… they are good for much longer. They may loose some nutritional value, but will still be good to consume. Of course when we open an older can, it has to pass the sniff test! Nice job on your organization & preparedness. Do you have a good way to cook if the storms come your way?

Best storage I have see!!! wow!! The only negative is making it less visible. Maybe a partition wall with small door hidden by shelf of knick knacks easy to move??. With all this food storage make you you have multiple manual can openers, portable gas cannisters to cook it & disposable cutlery.

I live in Florida as well. There are just 2 of us, but my stock is pretty good. You are doing a great job looking after your family!

Even when cans say they can last up to 2 years you can still eat them 10 to 12 years after there Expiration date if you’re desperate.

Great video. I also store emergency paper…tissues, toilet paper, paper towels. And I purchased an inexpensive camping toilet set up … toilet seat and bags that attach.

Wow just a few minutes in and this set up in IMPRESSIVE! I love how you store all of those cans.

“Expiration dates” are not required by the FDA except for infant food. EVERYTHING else has ‘best by’ dates. They last years and years beyond those dates, but won’t taste their best. You will know if they have gone bad.

Don't forget stock up on self rising flour. You don't need much ingredients when baking. Self rising already has it all. 2 cups self rising flour 1 cup buttermilk and 1 stick of butter makes awesome biscuits. No need for yeast or baking soda or powder.

Prepping pantries……….the holy grail of OCD. You’re not alone. I took a video of my pantry for my Mom and she couldn’t believe the detail and organization and had to start her own. A neatly stocked food pantry is just something someone with OCD can really exist with without feeling guilty of making everything nice, neat and organized. Yup have to keep adding to it and you’ll just go there and stare at it sometimes in the middle of the night or day for the dopamine rush of finding something not perfectly turned to match the symmetry of the others. Oh…it’s glorious and I love reactions from close family members when they see it…..lol. I’m especially proud of my never to be found again three cases of Original “non woke” labeled Aunt Jemima maple syrup. I’ve given a couple away as collector item gifts.

I have used cake mix that had been on my shelf for five years, it was still real good. MK

just a quick thought for you, you should really consider moving the water up off the floor- especially if you have concrete flooring. it should always be on a shelf or on a pallet... This prevents the water from leeching chemicals from the concrete, as well as water seeping out of your containers.

Thank you for this video. I'm new to all of this but started a few months ago. Want to thank also all of you who commented with your great input. I am learning a lot from all of you. God bless 🙏🥰❤👍

After Hurricane Micheal I bought a simple pump and built a bunker around the well to keep us and neighbors in water during a crisis. These hand pumps are worth it!
