Preppers Things You'll Wish You Did Right...Emergency Food Supply

Preppers are ready for food shortages after watching YouTube channels like Full Spectrum Survival, Goshen Prepping, Alaska Prepper, Canadian Prepper, Epic Economist, Pinball Prepper, Southern Prepper 1. Preppers are trying to be ready for grocery inflation.
Prices are rising, food varieties are becoming limited. Stock up on foods you are willing to eat, you know what they are, and how you will use them. Prepper Pantry Stockpiles need to include the foods you choose, don't buy food because someone else thinks it is the best. Buy foods you care to eat. Prepping is lifestyle insurance, having the things you want so your life goes as smoothly as possible. Stack it to the rafters!

That's my method - rather than buying fifty pounds of something, I regularly get a small package of rice, beans, dehydrated potatoes, etc. A little at a time really adds up! Thanks, AG!! ❤

My husband asked me what I planned on doing with all the food preps we have if nothing happens. I told him #1, we are buying at today's prices so we will save money. #2, when he retires (which he did last month) we will take some when we travel and camp out. #3, we live on the Gulf Coast and have hurricanes, so we are stocked. As far as I'm concerned, prepping is a way of life.

I got #10 cans all over my house! My family thinks I’m whacked.

I saved my plastic jars that had fresh garlic in water or oil. After cleaning, of course, they still smell like garlic. I'm storing my dried garlic in these jars. Worked out.

Lots of my friends and family still don’t prep, they still can’t see that things are not going well. It’s definately world wide problems. 👍🇬🇧

Prep not only food items but medical, personal hygiene, paper products, household items and things for your auto such as extra filters, oil, etc. If nothing else you will save money since prices are increasing constantly.

Couple of years back Seattle had a Tsunami warning. I got dressed ran to the living rooms. Sunday morning. Roomates were in nightgowns and loungewear. I realized, my altitude is at a safe altitude. So switching gears, I said we could use this as a dry run practice...just leave the cats in the house while doing a chinese fire drill. Got blanks stares, head shakes and eyerolls. . . So, I texted a different freind. They took the alert seriously. So in the future, we get another alert, they'll come grab me...I don't drive... I cannot believe people lack basic self preservation...

Watching Alaska Granny YouTube channel is the best part of my day. 😎👍🏻

Additional things to do to be better prepared: store many gallons of clean drinking water (reuse plastic one-liter soda bottles, fill with filtered tap water store in a dark location), have a safe way to boil water/heat food indoors when the power grid is down (I prefer one-burner butane stoves), have a safe way to provide light at night when the local power grid is down (I prefer solar-powered camping lights), have a safe way to stay warm indoors during winter power outages (sleeping bags, down vests, down comforters, wool socks...), have a chemical toilet designed for camping or a homemade composting toilet just in case the public water system runs dry, keep a charged fire extinguisher near the exit door and have some ways to keep yourself entertained and pass the time when the power is out (battery powered radio, crossword puzzle books, coloring books, jigsaw puzzles, real paper books....). It is also good to have a portable solar panel and a power bank for it so you can recharge your smart phone, e-reader and MP player or other devices when the local power grid is down.

I wish that I had realized the ROOM preps would take up! I am now trying to find room for more preps while the preps are in the way. I wish I had done it before I had to work around them. I don't mind sacrificing extra room, (or even aesthetics to an extent), but working around them is a pain, because this house had little storage to start with.

Hint for single preppers or people who don’t know how to cook. Stock individual meal kits in plastic shoe boxes instead of bulk ingredients that you don’t have the skill or interest to incorporate into a meal. Think of individual packets of instant oatmeal / cream of wheat / cream of rice packets, snack packets of dried fruit with nuts, individual bottles of water to rehydrate the cereal, packets of coffee / tea, sugar and coffee creamer, individual bottles / pouches of juice, granola / cereal bars, cups of fruit. That should give you variety and a nutritious stockpile for breakfast.

Thank you. I remember a while back someone suggested wrapping things with sharp edges like pasta or dehydrated green beans with paper towels to cushion them before vacuum sealing.

AG: I like your common sense approach to prepping. We can all benefit from it. Thank you. 🤗👍

I was on way home from visiting friend in hospital. Saw road works and van had 2ater Dept written on it. Yes, they were cutting our water supply's for a few hours. NO notice leaflets in doors any more. We are supposed to see it on the water Dept web site!! I had bottles of water already and elderly neighbours hadnt so shared. They promised to keep some water stored at home from now on. Also torch and batteries and a flask

Dry chickpeas, dry lentils, dry beans, white rice, pasta, powdered eggs, powdered peanut butter, powdered milk, dehydrated & canned veggies, canned light tuna, canned chicken, olive and avocado oil (both have a 2 year shelf life), flour stored in vacuum sealed mylar bags, herbs & spices, etc. are the all-stars in my long term prepper pantry and my everyday working pantry. I'm learning and practicing new recipes all the time (lentil loaf, chickpea patties, flat breads, ...). So if I have potable water and can cook during an emergency, I'll be able to continue eating almost the same as I do everyday. 'Keep It Simple' and 'Walk the talk' As always, Thx AG.

In December 2021, I fell and had medical complications so I was lifelined to the state capital where the medical school is located. I struggled to recover. My winter snowstorm emergency bucket was my lifesaver. Every fall, I fill a bucket with ready to things like dried jerky, dried fruit and nuts. Over winter there are times when I cannot cook or do not want a big meal so I grab something from my snowstorm bucket. I realized one bucket was not enough as I could not get to the store. By late spring the bucket is empty as I have fresh produce to snack on so I don't need the snowstorm buckets.

I do my best to rotate through what I have stored.

[banxiousnothing]

don't forget ethnic foods! I get dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) from middle eastern stores, etc

[mannyfragoza]

AG i started putting my Pasta in Mason jars. You would think after all the years of prepping i would have started doing this

[passamaquoddy]

Baking soda will take the order out of the jars and lids

[CMarie]

Yes! excellent points. We always need food, so why not store as much as we can. Doesnt have to be for emergency. Can be for lazy days, love it! It REALLY helps to take food and other basic household needs out of the equation when something crops up. I have relied on preps many times over the past few decades. It is comforting to be able to focus on the issue or problem at hand and not have to worry about where next meal comes from, or even just taking time to go buy it. I am so pleased that you mentioned these very practical and realistic possibilities. Prepping is for everyone!
