True story: I was a stay home mom with 3 littles and my husband lost his job. My husband told me later that he looked in the food storage closet and felt so relieved….like we’ve got this, it will be ok. It made a big difference to us in budgeting but also psychologically.

Recently (March 2023) found a forgotten can of regular Spam in pantry. "Best by" date was in 2008. The can was intact and seal was good, so I opened it...expecting a strange smell or appearance. The product smelled fine, looked good, and tasted perfect...and I lived to tell this tale!

If your cooking oil goes rancid, don't throw it out. You can use it in your oil lamps.

What a great video!! Very articulate. No stuttering or stammering. You don't say "uhm" every third word. No waste of time filler crap. Just sentence after sentence of useful, down to business info!! Thank you!

Pour your rice into glass jars, fill to the top and freeze for 48 hours to kill any bugs.

I wound up with breast cancer and I was the wage earner. I had 9 surgeries in 10 months. I did not have to shop for 9 months. And when I did, it was not for food. It was paper products. It taught me how important ALL of what is used needs to be stocked.

I am a very serious long-time prepper. I have EVERYTHING that you described and more. Therefore, I can say without hesitation that you are SPOT ON! Thanks!

I've been prepping for years and still feel as though i'm not ready. I have over 600 lbs of wheat berries backed up and sealed. I bought a camp propane oven and also stocked back over 30 tanks of propane. My wife thinks i'm nuts. I've learned to make my own starter since yeast will not last forever. It's good to have an electric wheat grinder but I also suggest a hand mill for grid down situations. Always have backups to your backups! Some items I would also suggest for cooking are lard and coconut oil from costco. You should get the longest shelf life from those. Making Ghee from butter is also a good thing. Not by choice but I recently more than doubled my freeze dried storage due to the passing of my brother to cancer. I'm more than glad to have it but would give it all up to have him back. I realize we are all in tough times and it appears to be getting worse but always take the time to tell those you love that you truly love them. You can always get more food but your loved ones lost cannot be replaced. My suggestion to everyone is keep prepping and learning from others. There may come a time that you will need to share some of your storage to help others. Be ready for that and do it! Do not just look out for yourself. Keep God first in your life and love everyone you can. Things are about to get really bad here but the lord Jesus Christ will walk with us through the fire. May God Bless everyone and look over you and your family in the times ahead.

***PSA FOOD STORAGE*** Containers of food including buckets should never be stored directly on concrete &/or touching exterior walls, etc. It can cause condensation inside whatever the food is in & ruin the food. You should have some kind of spacer so air can circulate. On wood strips, pallets, shelves, etc.

You are a 2nd mom for me honestly because im still thrown off with life and youve showed me everything i need to know to survive this life for the past twonyears big fan !

During the 2011 Great Japan Earthquake, people got sick from not having anything but alcohol disinfectant. Nothing beats soap and water! Baby wipes and soap are important!

[jenamcclurken]

Protein powder is another great storage item. Shelf life is usually a couple years and has lots of vitamins too. Vanilla can easily be mixed into pancakes or baked goods. Chocolate will feel like a treat in an emergency.

My parents grew up during the Great Depression. I used to call my Mom a food hoarder. As I got older I started to see her logic. For the past 10 years I have been stockpiling (a nicer word for hoarding lol). I live in an apartment, for now, but I have made room for at least a years worth of food and supplies like TP, paper towels, Kleenex, first aid supplies, meds, etc. I bought a big freezer and started purchasing meats on sale. I repackage meat into smaller pkgs with my vacuum sealer. I also buy beans at Sam's. I repackage into 1 pound pkgs since I usually cook a pound each month. I also repackage my flour, sugar, cornmeal, etc. If I buy fresh herbs and see I'm not going to use them all I will dehydrate the leftovers. If I find a deal on lemons, limes or oranges, I will zest them (and dry out the zest to store in a jar. I will then juice them and freeze the juice in ice cube trays. I also save the rest I f the fruit in the freezer for using in a pan of water on the stove or to run through my garbage disposal. Hopefully next year I will have a house on an acre and can have my own vegetable garden and a few chickens. I look forward to your videos! Keep up the good work. PS one more thing to stockpile is feminine hygiene products for you and your daughter. It's my understanding that tampons are getting harder to find now. I'm 70 so thankfully I don't have to worry about that any more!!!

I live in NYC. and prior to Covie I kept a rather minimal food pantry. And then all the stores except Walgreens shut down for two months. TWO MONTHS!!! I discovered that canned chicken is a really great product. It is lightly processed and you can do a ton with it. And canned salmon, what a lifesaver. Canned foods are not the enemy. They are your best friend. The useless shelf in my coat closet is now stocked with canned meats, beans, pasta, sauces etc.

[joannahayes]

Re: the toilet paper, one of the best prepper tips I’ve ever picked up is that if you still have access to water but you’re running out of TP, fill a clean squeezey bottle with water to make yourself a little douche/bidet option. Also helpful for post-partum mums I’ve heard!

[Stinschen]

Super jealous of you Americans! Here in Scandinavia we usually don't have those big buy/bulk buy stores. Great video! <3

[susanpumphrey]

Having extra non-perishable food on hand (plus well-stocked freezers) was always the way of life when I was growing up, too, and like you I was kind of surprised to find out not everyone lived like that LOL. My husband's aunt recently gave us some pictures she had found going through his grandma's house of a "pounding" his family held for us way back when we got married (almost 30 years ago) and it made me sad to realize not many people even know what that is anymore. For those who don't know, it's a type of wedding shower where the new couple is given basic food staples - 5 lb bag of flour, 5 lb bag of sugar, a pound of salt, canned goods, etc - hence the name. It's a great way to stock up a new couple's pantry so they don't break the bank trying to get basic food supplies to start out on. (Of course, back then most couples were going straight from their parent's home to married life so I guess things are different in that regard now anyway.)

"Having what you need instead of panicking at the last second." Pretty much sums up why I keep an inventory of essential things.

Cinder blocks and 3/4 inch plywood is the way to go if you don’t want to buy expensive shelves. ❤❤❤

[andycummings]

Use a pillar candle in the middle of 4 risers like food cans. Set a sauce pan of top & heat your chili or other foods if you don’t have other heat sources.
