CHEAP DIY EMERGENCY LONG TERM FOOD STORAGE 5-GALLON BUCKETS with MYLAR! Large Family Food Prep!!

[bluemoonkitchen]

Just a thought, when you store the buckets, if you aren't using a shelve but are stacking them, you will need to use a board between the buckets. If you stack several heavy buckets on top of each other, the lids will eventually break, but if you place a board on top of a bucket and set the bucket on top of the board, it redistributes the weight from the thin lid to the sturdier bucket.

Although I will never do long term food storage because I am 81 and live alone these days, this is so informative and I have learned many things I never knew. Enjoying your vlogs immensely.

When I watch your videos I often find myself thinking: She has the same 24 hours in a day that I have. Why is she a zillion times more productive? You're an inspiration my dear!! xo Claudia

You need to write the type of pasta on the label, like lasagnas, because you might need spaghetti and open a bucket with lasagna noodles. Some of the others are interchangeable but sometimes you just want a particular type noodle. Just a suggestion

Just a tip: You can always use rubbing(isopropyl) alcohol to take off permanent markers from plastic. I store broth in plastic liter containers and freeze them with written info (date and content) on the lid. Then when I use it up, I wash them and take an alcohol swab and wipe the lids clean.

“Cheaper Chicken” 😂😂😂 classic! Thank you for the price breakdown, I’ve been thinking about long term food storage on off for some years. At one point I had nearly a year’s worth of food stored for my family but we ate through it when times got hard. I was so grateful to have it!

Can we just all take a moment to appreciate how cute Jamerrill's earrings and hair are today.

Millet is another grain you can actually live on for a long time - very healthy grain - I prefer it already hulled and cook it the same way I do oatmeal - with milk/water. I put a little honey, butter and chopped dried fruits on top after it's cooked. I found a giant bag of it at our local discount store similar to your Sharp Shopper - GTM (San Diego). I invested in a Harvest Right freeze drier a couple years ago and built up a good emergency food stash. I love being able to buy a case of name brand yogurt at GTM for $2.40. You can freeze dry that into little drop or wafer shapes. Great snack. Freeze dried watermelon is amazing stuff - comes out like cotton candy. Most fruits are fantastic freeze dried. Freeze dried ice cream sandwiches are amazing.

This must be a sign, I actually started this today after seeing an article and then I see this video. I used the same, 5 gallon bucket, with the Mylar bag and 2000cc oxygen absorber. I packaged beans and rice btw.

Watch in chronological order Bexar Preppers videos on food preparedness. She’s one of the original Dodd Preppers I watched when I started on a shoe string budget.

Love the long term food storage videos. My daughter and I are starting our storage, have learned that it's so much cheaper to shop longer term than making multiple trips to the store. With everything going on in the world, being prepared is smarter than trying to get by. Thanks for all the info and ideas.

I would go ahead and get a TON of pasta sauce! If things go south before you are finished getting all your supplies you would have sauce to make a meal. I also make meal buckets that include full meals (ex. canned hamburger, pasta sauce, pasta, can of green beans, spices or condiments) In an emergency that causes you to leave your home you could just grab those instead of trying to get individual items. They can also be used to share. If a family came to you for food you could just give them a prepared bucket and it would have everything they need.

We add bay leaves to our rice and pasta. Keeps the bugs at bay. I think you need to put clear tape over the blue tape in case they peel off

should look into getting a food dehydrator since your doing meat birds, you can make your own jerky with the meat that you have extra of, we have one and its amazing, family loves jerky but it can cost a lot, much cheaper to make, can also make dried fruit and veg for healthy snacks for winter when fruit is out of season.

You are such an inspiration, I started working on short term pantry a year ago but with the pandemic, it got me thinking more about long term, I ordered the book by Karen Morris (love, love) and picked up some buckets, and ordered my gamma lids and mylar bags with the oxygen absorbers, I have been picking up a few things here and there to go in them and I must say I'm getting SO EXCITED. Thank you Dear Lady, you are a treasure, God Bless you and you family.
