desse, If your mother got you started, then lean on her and her experience. She will steer you In the right direction. Ask questions about how she got started,it's probably from her childhood. Living during the depression era or listening to stories from her parents, grandparents or great grandparents . Old cookbooks can give you a pretty good idea of how people were living around the country.Old family diaries are a great source of information about that time period. Hope this helps.
Congratulations for starting your road to safety in a disaster situation. And more Congratulations for having a based mother to help guide you on that path.
Cooking, baking soda, baking powder, a cook book, measuring cups and spoons, some pots and pans and kitchen utensils. (I am still amazed at the people that don't know anything about cooking from scratch. Pots and pans can be picked up cheap used in various places.
@@Swearengen1980 I am assuming some of the people that watch these are just getting interested in prepping. There are a surprising number of people who have never cooked in an oven or on a stove top. Microwave, toaster and eating out keep them alive. My wife used to manage a bakery and a cafe, she had job applicants that couldn't make a fried egg and ham sandwich. Because frankly, our pantry and the pantries of friends and family look like the inside of a bodega and I come to these just to see what they are missing. What I typically find missing are small critical items and the big things, skills. Skills come from knowledge and practice. If you practice often enough you barely have to think twice about what you are doing. Our garden supplied the following 80 pints of green beans, 40 each of carrots, beets, more than a years worth of dried onion and garlic, 80-100 pounds of potatoes, 60-70 pounds of sweet potatoes, 35 large winter squash being processed this month into probably 100 servings, 60 pints of sweet corn, 48 pints of tomato sauce, Then there's the 30 pints of various jams blueberry, blackberry, cherry, the 12 quarts of various fruit vinegar, mulberry, apple, pear, 60 quarts of apples, apple sauce and pints of apple butter and apple jelly, 20 different medicinal, kitchen and household herbs, pickles of various kinds, cucumber and peppers about 20 quarts, eaten fresh, radishes, rhubarb, lettuce and all the others. Our panty, besides from the garden, the store bought canned fish: tuna, salmon, shellfish, meat: spam, ham, corned beef, sausages, beans, vegetables, cooking oil, salt, all purpose flour, bread flour, yeast, salt, seasonings, peanut butter, jelly, white and brown sugar, lard, molasses, everclear and vodka for processing herbs, raisins and other dried fruits, nuts, lemon juice, wax, candles, lamp oil, wicks, laundry, dish and dishwasher detergent, bleach, baby wipes, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes, shampoo, soap, first aid supplies, disinfectants, propane, matches, lighters, extra blankets, extra pillows. The pantry freezer vegetables from the garden, meat bought in bulk on sale and repackaged. Then there's the workshop, tools for wallboard, painting, carpentry, mechanical, bicycle specialty tools, electrical, plumbing, reloading, gun cleaning, and lots of hardware and supplies. And the garden, two years of garden fertilizer, none for the lawn, tools from a rear tine tiller to pick and shovel. Compost, lots of compost. Other hobbies and supplies, the garden, the fruit trees, berry bushes and grape vine, crocheting, baking (my wife had a sourdough starter running for 6 months, two loaves a week minimum, until the harvest got to busy.) shooting, fishing, filleting fish, small butchering and meat cutting, sewing, reading, (current book for me is "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed" by Jared Diamond.) walking the dog a thousand miles a year, bicycling and lapidary arts, hand carving and polishing stone and crystal. Our background is mixed, my wife worked in kitchens, as an EMT, hospice and dialysis technichian, I've also got time in kitchens, manuafacturing, truck driving, school teaching, process engineering, quality control and auditor.
@@Swearengen1980 People that order boxes of frozen meal for the microwaves. Parents have failed big time at getting their spawn ready for life. Cat's train their offspring better.
Skip baking powder. It's got a limited shelf life. Cream of Tartar is eternal. Add it to baking soda and you can make baking powder as you need it. No worries about expiring.
@@Swearengen1980 As a married guy with a pretty good pantry, a nice garden, some fruit growing in the yard and some skills; I sometimes look at these not to see what I might be missing, but what might be missing from the list. There are a lot of new preppers looking at some of these videos. So I comment. Up to about 4 years ago my wife managed two businesses, a bakery and a cafe. One of the things she would do in an interview is have them make a fried ham, egg and cheese sandwich. It was frightening how many adults could not do that. Yes, there were a few who could and one that grilled the bread, caramelized some onions and added horseradish sauce and turned out a fantastic sandwich, but so many couldn't. To many americans food comes pre-made and you microwave it or you buy it fast food or you eat in the cafeteria. You see, a lot of people lack the tools, the knowledge and the practice to do a lot of simple prepper things. Things like cook a meal, grow food, ferment wine, turn that into vinegar, paint interior and exterior walls, do some wallboard repair and texture, ruck a thousand miles a year, trim a grape vine, turn a compost pile, bake bread, minor plumbing or electrical repair, fix a carburetor on a small engine, gap a spark plug, sew a button, crochet, knit, tune a bicycle, clean a firearm, reload ammo, can meats, vegetables, fruits and jams, read maps, stitch wounds, know when to give nitroglycerine to someone, cut meat, fillet fish, tie knots, set up tents and tarps, canoe, read instructions, track progress on projects, make detailed engineering drawings, plug tires, lash construction of bushcraft projects, sharpen tools, stitch leather, shoot, reload brass and shotshells. But that list is just a quick off the cuff of what my wife and I are able to do these days. We are also musicians and artists, mandolin, harmonica, hand drums and hammered dulcimer, and practice lapidary arts. Between us our jobs have included, chef, restaurant and bakery manager, EMT, dialysis tech, hospice provider, school teacher, truck driver, process engineer, technical writing, quality engineer, auditor, sing harmony for a touring band and we've both been street thugs. (I'm the one that was thrown OUT of jail) So we've seen some things, and when I suggest pots, pans and kitchen utensils it is because I'm pretty sure someone my need to read it.
You can never go wrong with finding old cookbooks like I like to collect. Frankly, the older the better. Recently found a 1940’s cookbook from my local thrift store for $2.00! And there even is a section in the back about war time cooking.
Every woman in my extended family gets a Mennonite cookbook as a wedding gift and sometimes there is some notes written in the margins and sometimes it turns to be her new mother in laws mothers book. In the collection that my wife and I have, we have solid covered,paperback and three ring binder cookbooks.One shelf of my side of the bookshelf is filled with nothing but cookbooks. Have fun collecting and reading yours.
Yes! We go to thrift stores and find lots of cookbooks. We even have a discounted book store that carries all kinds of books including cookbooks. I even saw gardening books, sewing books all kinds. I go weekly and pick up some. I just wish they had prepping books and survival books. If the power is out the Internet won't work. So it's good to have all kinds of books to store.
@@Denise_B17 That's awesome, so you may want to look for an author named Wilbur F Eastman Jr.He has written some how to books that may be useful to you . There are many subjects, recipes and illustrations. Hope this helps you.
@@Denise_B17 ah, “prepping” was not a word used back then. How about books on plumbing, electric, and basic construction? Cooking, sewing &gardening - You’ve covered most of it already. Well done.
One thing I am trying to do is print out instructions for my preps. Like cooking instructions for my rices and beans, each of which has different cooking times. And different methods. I need to know how to cook dry beans if I am using a rocket stove and an Instant Pot if I have power. I am trying to compile simple bread recipes with minimal ingredients that I can cook with simple methods. Like flatbreads. I haven’t learned how to cook in a Dutch oven over a fire especially to bake bread.
@@Metalheaddoc Bannock bread,flour, powdered milk any dehydrated fruit that you want or prefer ,I find blueberries, raspberries and apples work best for me,add water mix well slightly sticky to the touch,add shortening to your cast iron skillet flatten your bread a little bit and fry till golden brown on both sides. You can cut the dough into smaller pieces, so you can make more of it for traveling, backpacking and the like I haven't tried freezing it yet,but I'm sure it would work. Wicked prepared does alot of freeze dried videos, the hillbilly kitchen for quick bread and biscuits. Cast iron cooking.Type that into your search engine and there will be all kinds of videos that will show you the ins and outside of cooking with your cast iron. Have fun exploring.
watching clips like this one helps get you started on all of those lessons. However, practice them all before the disaster happens so you can survive and perhaps teach others too. And yes, write your own methods down for others too.
Things to get done before winter. final weeding of garden, tilling of garden, spread manure on garden. turn and water compost pile one more time (3 cubic yards, I need that much for 1,700 square feet) put straw mulch on blueberries and herbs fire up both generators find ice scrapers, check snow shovels, fire up snow thrower new windshield wipers both vehicles, gallon of windshield wash in each vehicle put blankets and show shovel in each vehicle already put traction and ice melt in both rotate winter/summer clothes (tires done) Dig out winter boots and extra liners
Great list! So many people leave off matches, I have an ammo can filled with wooden Strike Anywhere matches. Found some recently at Ace for $1.39 a box. I cleaned them out!
Video request: some ideas for one last store run and what you would get and how to prepare for that run and which store/stores you would go to. Thanks!
Not sure what it is like in the US, but here in the UK, nearly every single stores is computerised, items are scanned to get the price and that goes straight to the till which is also linked back to the stores stock ordering computer. Some stores are all self service tills, where you scan the goods yourself. So if the power or the internet goes down, there is no way for the stores to serve you, so stored cash might be of very limited use, maybe better stocking up on barter items. All depending on the cause of the SHTF. Thanks for the list, printed out and going into my prep folder 🙂
When it comes to blankets, I save all of my scraps of fabric from the variety of crafts that I work on. With these scraps of fabric, I work on quilt tops and then when I hit the thrift stores, I look for a variety of flannel sheets to back the quilt top with. Also, I have several large tubs with yarn in them and I've got crocheted afghans that I've been working on. I'e sold a few quilts and afghans but I also have hand made blankets in every room in the house.
Get out that bread Machine that's probably stow in the box! Practice now making bread. Be comfortable with it now while you can get ingredients. If the power stays on but stores shelves will be empty.. Also look down how are you going to keep your carpet/floors clean? Get a MANUAL FLOOR SWEEPER. It works on bare floors and carpet. It is NOT A VAC but it is good at keeping carpets with pet hair looking good. Surprisingly it gets a lot of dirt out. Dry shampoo will be a God send! No using extra to wash and rinse hair
8:59 - Excellent advice on the fuel. A lot of people in Florida are sadly only finding this out now. Buy as many fuel cans and fuel stabilizer as you need so you have an extra full tank of gas or diesel at all times.
Couple things i may add with personal understanding and knowledge. I wouldn't worry too much about salt content in foods if we really do have to deal with shtf sitautions. You need salt as electrolytes to keep pushing forward. Also, i wouldnt worry about anything that has a chance in damaging your outside layer that could make life difficult like things like razors. Cut, bruises, and broken bones have a less chance in healing in a world without doctors that could help. Also illness preventions and things that can handle infections are very important for the med kit. Much more important than trauma kits. Remember, we dont want to get into fights, especially gun fights, in these situations.
Did you buy one? Do you know how expensive they are. Did you think how much food I could buy? Just cook it in my fireplace. Half the crap on this list isn’t needed. It all depends on where you live, what food you eat and what’s your weather like. Everybody has a say so so here’s my say so from the list what you need and discard the rest.
12v food cooling is so much more efficient. Dc to dc have a couple panels . Pretty easy to start simple- I run 2 deep freezers all day everyday from the sun and a battery
Fire Extinguisher(s), fire blankets You know what, fire extinguishers are not that expensive, start a wood fire outdoors, and put a container with some vegetable oil above it and get that oil hot enough to burn, then put it out with a fire extinguisher. Just to see what it is like. When you do this have everyone and everything on one side of the fire with room for the fire to spill and burn on the other side of the fire. Don't be surprised when instead of putting the fire our the first thing that happens is spreading the fire.
Great point! I’ve got two blankets on order. Adding 2 more fire extinguishers to my list and replacing my smoke alarms (12 years old). Cooking is dangerous! 🤣 Oil 🔥 fires!
Make a weekly budget and start collecting things. Nobody I know can afford to get the list in short order. Slow and steady progress and every month, your preps will grow
Look in thrift stores and Craig's list, marketplace etc. local buy nothing groups and to some extent the local food bank can help you prep if you are just getting started, get going now, today.😅
I've got charcoal, propane, wood pellets, and wood. I can cook more then the food that I have. I have a propane generator, which is where most of that will probably go.
It is time for Americans to come together. Voting for a President should not divide the people. It is a democracy and we vote for whomever we believe will do a great job and who has shown they understand what is best for us. It isn't about the individual candidate so much as what they can do to help the country.
Not a democracy. A democracy is mob rule. We're a Constitutional Republic. Stop listening to the Left chant "democracy" over and over. There's no "democracy" on our Constitution.
I always stay stocked up but just in case the workers strike tomorrow and due to the crisis down south I am going to stock up even more to be sure I'll be o.k. Instead of buying those MREs I think people should learn to can. It is much cheaper and you'll be able to eat the foods you are used to eating every day.
How does one afford this stuff on social security after rent, utilities, insurance and groceries are paid? I don’t have a fancy phone and no extras like vacations, eating out, cable channels. I have nothing to cut out.
Gas pumps are electric, so moot point there. Some cash on hand is better than none. Some outages may be regional. Frankly, I won’t be running to the store to grab “free food” when the electric coolers/freezers fail…..yikes. What a mess that could be.
Yes! And anything that will help with tooth pain. There is nothing in the world worse than a horrible pain inside of your mouth. I used to get ulcers really bad and I still get them from time to time so obviously I have stocked up on a lot of oragel. I don’t know how well they do but I got some Dentech kits as well for stuff like that. lol hopefully I will not have to find out how well they work anytime soon but I just feel like it might be a treasure to have one day 😂❤
I can’t disagree with your opinion. I find that at this point in my increasing age, I’ve been thru enough power outages, blizzards, water main breaks and hurricanes to know that “being prepared” was rather a normal way of life for generations before ours. Some folks can’t believe that “blue laws” kept retail stores closed on Sundays. I also know I prefer to be stocked up for times when I’m hurt or sick. AGREE! Being paranoid is not for me either. 👍🏻
Alot of the small stoves are indoor safe. The 1 he used in the video im pretty sure says on it that it is but I'd just get a co2 portable alarm that u can put near the stove just in case bc its not always 100% safe.
I found you about 3 yrs ago. Mom said I need to get prepared and I got started. I appreciate all that you share. Praying for us all.

Look in thrift stores and Craig's list, marketplace etc. local buy nothing groups and to some extent the local food bank can help you prep if you are just getting started, get going now, today.😅
Awesome
I've got charcoal, propane, wood pellets, and wood. I can cook more then the food that I have. I have a propane generator, which is where most of that will probably go.
Yep. Power goes out from an hurricane....I just cook in my fireplace or grill/run my smoker just inside my garage. No biggie.
91percent rubbing alcohol
Have not heard of Legacy, i w8ll check it out. Tx
It is time for Americans to come together. Voting for a President should not divide the people. It is a democracy and we vote for whomever we believe will do a great job and who has shown they understand what is best for us. It isn't about the individual candidate so much as what they can do to help the country.
Not a democracy. A democracy is mob rule. We're a Constitutional Republic. Stop listening to the Left chant "democracy" over and over. There's no "democracy" on our Constitution.
Look up the definition of democracy, would ya? America= Republic.
@@EarthHeartUK There's no "democracy" in our Constitution nor in our founding documents. We're a Republic.
We vote and choose people to represent us and so we are both a republic and democracy.
@@EarthHeartUK That's not what the Constitution says.
I always stay stocked up but just in case the workers strike tomorrow and due to the crisis down south I am going to stock up even more to be sure I'll be o.k. Instead of buying those MREs I think people should learn to can. It is much cheaper and you'll be able to eat the foods you are used to eating every day.
How does one afford this stuff on social security after rent, utilities, insurance and groceries are paid? I don’t have a fancy phone and no extras like vacations, eating out, cable channels. I have nothing to cut out.
would replace cash with gold and silver
How can I get my prescription medicine
What is the counter Water filter that filters out the bugs you said?
There are a few different kinds. The one in the video is a Simpure. HydroBlu makes a good one, and the Big Berkey it popular.
Got pretty much everything except the winter stuff 😂
Sorry for my ignorance. May i know how i an access the pdf file?
Under the video title is the description. Hit the "more" button and scroll down. If you make it that far, you'll find a link to a pdf file.
having cash on hand ? all stores hotels gas stations etc now have electric cash registers . power out for a day + their closed
Gas pumps are electric, so moot point there. Some cash on hand is better than none. Some outages may be regional. Frankly, I won’t be running to the store to grab “free food” when the electric coolers/freezers fail…..yikes. What a mess that could be.
From my experience I broke a tooth 6 years only one thing stopped the pain,Clove Oil got at GNC
Yes! And anything that will help with tooth pain. There is nothing in the world worse than a horrible pain inside of your mouth. I used to get ulcers really bad and I still get them from time to time so obviously I have stocked up on a lot of oragel. I don’t know how well they do but I got some Dentech kits as well for stuff like that. lol hopefully I will not have to find out how well they work anytime soon but I just feel like it might be a treasure to have one day 😂❤
Clove oil can damage the nerves causing mouth pain also. I wouldn't try on it. Sensodyne toothpaste is good, so is cool mint Listerine.
@@annsaunders5768 I know it can damage the nerve over time but when you break a tooth chances are the tooth will be pulled anyway
Oregano oil extract will cure a severe sore throat in a day or two.
Buy several solar dehydrators
Basically live like a farmer.
why november, what's in november???
?
The election.
@@4155abc that's why people are prepping?
Wishful thinking???
Great video. The link brings up the product store, not the pdf.
It's the article. The link is in the article.
I see what your saying. I guess you need to also click "Go to MySurvivalFoods" Thanks for letting me know, I added it to the description.
The link for the PDF takes me to a list of products. Cannot find the PDF.
Above the list of products is a blue box that says “Go to my Survival Foods”. Scroll down. You will find the link to the pdf there. Hope this helps!
We don't all need or eat meat very much to begin with by the way.
You're crazy. Meat has protein.
Well when there is very limited food,meat will get you further than lettuce
@@cho7707 lentils. Beans. Nuts.
@@mills-z9k i barely eat meat right now.
@@cho7707 no other foods have protein?
Where is your PDF list???
look in the description below the title
I don't care about prepping anymore. Just don't care what happens to me.
I hope you’re feeling better today friend.
I cannot fathom "living" a life THIS paranoid. You left off tin foil for all your hats from your "list." Get a grip.
I can’t disagree with your opinion. I find that at this point in my increasing age, I’ve been thru enough power outages, blizzards, water main breaks and hurricanes to know that “being prepared” was rather a normal way of life for generations before ours. Some folks can’t believe that “blue laws” kept retail stores closed on Sundays. I also know I prefer to be stocked up for times when I’m hurt or sick. AGREE! Being paranoid is not for me either. 👍🏻
@@joannc147 There is nothing wrong with being prepared I bet you live pay check to pay check with no money saved for a rainy day
@@porscheguy3820 very much incorrect - but thanks for playing!
Its preparedness. Not paranoia.
Paranoia is actually being aware of the real world not having your head up your ass.
Is it safe to cook indoors on butane? My only other option is on my balcony, but my neighbors can see that.
Alot of the small stoves are indoor safe. The 1 he used in the video im pretty sure says on it that it is but I'd just get a co2 portable alarm that u can put near the stove just in case bc its not always 100% safe.
Ok, Thank you. I have such an alarm and a fire extinguisher. So I think I'm good then.
