I understand that some people think it is crazy and not needed. It is needed. A series of tornados touched down in my little town April 27, 2011. In the morning it touched down by my children’s school and later that night one touched down in my neighborhood. We were without electricity for a week. Thankfully our BBQ grill had a full tank of propane and I adapted my cooking and baking. The day after the tornado we were unable to go anywhere as the electricity lines were down and all over the road, clean up takes a while. They prioritize what areas get repaired first and by how many people are doing the work. Fortunately we did not need to go anywhere, we had enough food and water to get by. We also had a full tanks of gas in both vehicles so we were able to charge phones and laptops. We were really lucky that no one in our family was hurt but I’ll never forget going to the Y a week later and hearing the sobs and cries of the women and children in the showers because they were not so lucky. It is a hard thing to hear a child crying so hard because their world was turned upside down and they don’t know what to do. So, please think upon the natural disasters that happen and prepare just a bit. Most of all please remember we don’t know what each has gone thru and if you disagree with prepping ok but please do not put others down for when they prep a little, somewhat or a lot.

I would also recommend beef/chicken bouillon cubes. Dirt cheap, great storage life, and easy to store. Plain white rice could get old pretty quick.

[fredasdaughter]

Salt. It can be used as a bartering item when necessary. Also baking soda. It can be used for cooking, brushing your teeth, laundry booster, bug control

If you buy canned fish. Get it canned in oil or its own juices (not water). Fats and protein are needed for survival and hard to come by during disasters. You can live without carbs and carbs are easier to find during times of strife or disaster. Caned fish with oil provides the high calorie fats your body needs.

Awesome shopping trip!
I would add dry beans like Pinto, Lima, Black eyed peas, Black beans, Red Kidney Beans, and my favorite Hurst's Ham Beans 15 bean soup and Lentils. Saffron rice is good as well.
Again. I loved the video thank you. Wish we had Costco here !

I spend $20 on various preps every 2 weeks. ( Every Paycheck ) Ends up being almost $500 a year. Been doin it for years. Slow and steady is the best way.
Set a budget, be consistent, build a habit, survive.

Don’t confuse “best by” dates for “expiration” dates. Most canned items will last many, many years after the “best by” date, but the flavor will slightly below “best”. Check other videos on this subject. I like all his suggestions.

Our next door neighbor put up a privacy fence to block out his vision of our property. He hated our hens, mini dairy goats, garden, dogs and I suppose us. The advantage for us was that now when we bring in the groceries no one can see what we have. We DO NOT tell anyone we stock pile food. We do let folks know we are shooters with guns and ammo on the property. As x-cops we were trained to be really good shots. So we hope we will never have to defend ourselves and our hoard but we will be safe and able to share with those who end up in need. Your information is excellent and I like your straight forward presentation. Very professional. And we now subscribe to your site.

Costco is a great place to stock up on baby wipes. They're a great way to keep clean in a water shortage situation.

[lynnmasoner]

Other foods that you can stock up on ....1. Honey 2. Soy Sauce 3. Worcestershire Sauce 4. Dark Caro Syrup 5. Pure Maple Syrup 6. Bouillon Cubes ( Chicken, Beef, Pork, & Vegetable) those would go along way in your preps for adding flavor to your foods.

I believe in prepping. My family has done this for years. You never know what could happen from weather to government problems, etc. However you want to be healthy to be able to handle any situations that arise. We grow a lot of our own food organically and buy only organic. Plus not even organic JUNK food. I had Lupus and when we switched to only organic foods I no longer have any Lupus signs. We are strong and healthier than ever before. Even when we were short on money and no food garden we ate organic. We cut other things instead, even TV. It was a health priority along with exercise. We hike a lot. No more health issues and we are loving life. No health issues for 20 years so far.

Never to be forgotten is Pet food... I've bought 4 large bags of dog food and 4 bags for my cats. They're at our mercy!

Pick up propane tanks once in awhile for when you have no power to cook. If you don't have a propane camp stove buy one. also have a manual can opener if you are use to an electric one.

During the early days of the pandemic before it hit Australia I got my wife up to costco. Now here we call it the great toilet paper heist of 2020 where people were physical fighting over toilet paper. Now Costco put a limit to one package of toilet paper and you found out when you hit the cash register as well as some other items which they never told anyone until you went through the checkout. I was stocking up on long life food such as the 25KG bag of rice, pasta, canned tomato's, milk powder I was going for the food that had long shelf life as we didn't know just how long lockdowns would last nor did we know if the supply chain would crash, but people in the food supply chain kept working as I worked being part of it. I saw how things were going around the world and thought it may be time to get some basic things in with a long shelf life. Spam, corned beef, canned vegetables, bulk pasta, rice and several other ingredients that I thought that we can use to make meals with. I had a woman following me around costco watching everything I was putting in my cart and she was following in suit by putting the same products as I did meanwhile most of the people made a run for the toilet paper. Our costco is a bit different as we have our own local suppliers and brands basically the same owners but made for Australia as we are getting some kirkland brand items most is Australian made products. That bag of rice we are still going through it today, I saw some videos on here where you can extend the life of rice to 30+ years by storing it in mylar bags and removing the air. I've just recently ordered Mountain House from the US as things here are a bit iffy with China. We are very close to China and they are massing up their military big time. They now have the largest Navy in the world surpassing the US, war with them is pretty much on the cards. It's good to see people on here sharing their prepping ideas but we need to get more of that survival food down here as most are blind to the situation that is growing daily with China with Covid 19 updates and the constant get the jab that you here on TV constantly. The real threat isn't being pushed but the pandemic, meanwhile we are pretty much screwed as China owns alot of the farms and cattle stations they even own a port here in Australia. Things will go very pear shaped very fast here so hopefully we can get these supplies in time. #FJB best of luck to you all and hopefully we all don't need to hit into these supplies for a long time.

The Campbell’s chunky soups on top of rice makes a filling meal.

As a farm person I often watch in amazement what people buy because they don’t can, freeze, or garden themselves. Or how different shopping lists are from people who live close to town vs the sticks. Not criticizing, just curious. Our normal pantry holds us for a year at a time, so the prepping thing is such a fascination. We live seasonally basically putting up whatever is in season to get us to the next years when the wildlife or produce is ripe again. Baking and long term staples are in giant bins in the pantry, jarred goods in the cold cellar with hams. Freezers for meat and produce. So we never thought about living differently. Meds and household/farm supplies we keep 6-8 months up as well because going to town is such a production anyway. Just fun to watch what people do.

[browneyedgirl]

The comments here are sooo valuable! Learning so much 🙏🏼

[heygetoffmylawn]

All are good suggestions. Most important is to prep. Be ready and go about the business of getting ready. Remember stockpiling IS NOT hoarding. Your stock pile may be able to help others in need for various reasons.

Olive oil can be used as a hair and skin conditioner; I've used it this way for many years. It can be used to make soap, it's a standard ingredient in the Middle East. It was used as a lamp oil in ancient times. Research indicates that olive oil may have a number of health benefits.
