Prepper Pantry - In Plain Sight Inventory System
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- This is a short video showing a very simple inventory system I use in my prepper pantry. I call it the "Plain Sight" or "Plain View" inventory system because everything is seen at a glance.
I no longer use apps or notebooks, just my shelving racks, and my eyes. We can see what is missing very quickly and those items go onto our shopping list.
I forgot to mention in the video that the canned meats are mostly labeled 26 cans for a six-month supply of long-term food storage BUT the cans of tuna need twice that due to their small size. So the tuna needs 52 cans for that six-month food supply.
I hope this video helps inspire you and give you some ideas to apply to your own prepper pantry or long-term food storage solution.

I am whatching this again and still say this is my favourite prepp video yet , that's a strong stash of goods there !!!!!!
Thanks Dan, I hope it helps a few people.
I've been watching your videos non stop I wish my husband was prepared like you lol well done fab videos
That's sweet Catrina. I'm sure your husband has his strengths too. Girls prep too (I want that on a t-shirt now) so maybe it's up to you for awhile. I do feel it's never been more important in our lifetime. I also want to mention that just a few weeks worth can be extremely helpful should something like a quarantine happen. You probably won't need the amount of food I have.
Very nice prepping storage.
Thank you
The amount of Keystone cans is impressive. I'm going to start buying those. Thanks!
Yep, that was a big investment and they're more expensive now. I'd recommend home pressure canning meat. It's actually easier than vegetables when you raw pack because there's little prep work.
Simplicity!! Great job!
Ok... it took me a while but now I understand. 1 type meat per week for 6 months (26 weeks) and having multiple types of meat. Nice way to do this.
Hi Linda, that's right. I was having trouble explaining it. 26-meals x 7-days = 6-months.
Very nice!!
Very good!
you are an inspiration....just subbed
Thanks Russ, much appreciated.
That is an awesome pantry
Thanks Nicole 😊
i want onee, thanks for the info!
Wow! Impressive! I came here because your channel was promoting mine. I’m going to subscribe.
I can value things like the Keystone meats. I have about 30 and I’m single. I could eat off this pantry probably 3 years, at least.
Thanks, I like your channel too. I subscribed. 🙂
Thanks so much!
I'm putting together my own mini prepper pantry. I want to label it the way you did. So I'll know what I have and what I need.
Hi Erin, those numbers on my labels are the numbers I need for six months. I actually exceeded those numbers on everything there but that's how mine is setup.
I like your tip about taking a photo of your shelves. It gave me the idea to use my iPAD to take the photo and then bring it with me when I go shopping. I'm notorious for forgetting to write things down on our shopping list. I suppose keeping a pad and pen in the pantry would be helpful, too, especially for jotting down notes, such as which store has the particular products on sale. BTW...Some people claim Soy Sauce and Popping Corn (the ones sold in bags) are "forever" foods. Someone else claimed that pop corn kernels can be planted in the garden. I wonder if it's true and if there are other foods that can be planted, as well, like dry peas, for example. I started a loose leaf binder containing Jan to Dec index tabs. I wrote 2021 on the front cover. I did the same thing for years beyond that. I placed a sheet of notebook paper within each tabbed section. After I get home with another grocery haul, I record the expiration dates under the corresponding tabs in the binders. For example, if I bought Kernel Corn that expires in June 2021, I would grab the 2021 binder, flip to June and write the word "Kernel Corn". I forgot to mention that first I sort everything "by the year" they expire. This keeps me from having to jump back and forth from one binder to the another. After everything is recorded, I then add them to the pantry. Thereafter, on the first day of each month, I look under the tab for that month and check the pantry to see if we still have any of those items in stock. In my 2021 binder, I noticed there are quite a few items that will expire in February, especially boxed goods, such as Pop Tarts, Instant Grits, and Club Crackers. Which is our cue to devour them or donate them before February. This method may sound complicated, but as long as all items are recorded in the notebook AS SOON AS you get home and BEFORE they are placed in the pantry, then you will be able to tell at a glance (by flipping through the notebooks) which items you bought and when they are going to expire. After all the expired items listed under the current month have been checked and pulled, you can then remove the sheet of paper under that tab and use it to line your bird cage floor. LOL Then on the first day of the next month, simply repeat the process of checking the list for that month and pulling any that have expired. On a side note, I suppose you could use a computer to set up this method by creating a folder for each year, and Jan-Dec text files under each year. Come to think of it, the computer method would probably be easier and less expensive. No binders or index tabs or paper to buy. The only thing with using a computer will be if the electrical grid goes down and you can't access your computer and thus your monthly lists. It's easier for me to carry the binder to the pantry when it comes time to check and pull. I might mention that the hospital pharmacy where I worked for 33 years used this binder method and it worked very well. Thanks for giving us a tour of your magnificent pantry! :-)
See, that's awesome you've found the best method that works for you. I love that. Another thing we do is keep a shopping list on a dry erase board I snap a pic of that before we shop as well. One note of caution though- be careful not to set your phone on shelves or walk away leaving it in the cart. I kept catching myself leaving my phone on a store shelf. I actually had to seach for my phone a couple of times.
@@NextStepSurvival Like you, I write the expiration dates on the items, which really does help. The dry erase board/shopping list is a great method. My husband uses post-it-notes so he can tuck it in his pocket. We don't have a smart phone, so I would have to use my iPAD to take a pic. But I do like your method. Whenever I carry my iPAD with me (it's a mini one), I wear one of my old pharmacy smocks and slip that baby in one of the big pockets. I hope you have the "tracker"/phone locater set up on your phone in case you lose it and can't find it or someone takes it. There's also an electronic thing called a "Tile" which is used for locating things like keys. I think it can be used for just about anything. I need to attach one to my husband.... LOL just kidding
@@NextStepSurvival BTW, this is my first visit to your channel. I subscribed and hit the like button. :-) Have a blessed day.
Good idea with writing dates on top
Thanks Taz, I got that idea from Todd Sepulveda over at the Prepper Website Podcast. He puts the date he added it to his pantry. I just put the best buy date because they're so hard to find and read. Then we use those dates for rotation.
Holy cow, you got a grocery store in there. Those keystone meats are Expensive! Damn, that’s truly outstanding. You’ll be able to live AND bless others for a long time. That’s so cool that you just made a huge pantry in the space you had. Stays organized, quick work of inventory. Keep it all together. I love it.
Thank you, it's been a long process but we just keep chugging away, slow but steady. And you're right, it's given us the opportunity to help others on several occasions already. My next video is a tour of the entire pantry. I already recorded it but ran out of time last night. I'm hoping to get it uploaded today. Thanks for the comment and I hope you have a blessed week.
Wow, you are really prepared! Nicely done!
I enjoy watching guys that prep. I guess I wish my husband was the prepper😊
That's a tough spot. I was fortunate enough that my wife tolerated me for years. Then the covid came and now she's onboard 100%. We self quarantined for weeks without ever leaving the house and didn't have to worry about a thing. It was almost like a long vacation. We also helped many friends and family members when the stores had lines of people and felt like danger. We felt blessed to be able to donate N-95 masks to our local hospital and Kydex suits to our veterinarian at the beginning of the pandemic. Just yesterday she called to tell me she was buying a case of her favorite chili sauce because we were running low. The case of food was sitting in the pantry when I got home. She understands now.
Just start doing it a bit yourself lead by example he will follow
@@taz12184 I’ve been prepping for six years. He did move us out of the suburbs to the country on forty acres. I guess he preps differently than I do.
@@prayplanprepare3978 o wow what more could a girl want. Are you keeping quails chickens and rabbitts yet? I'm having great fun with the quails
@@taz12184 chickens and angus cows. Plans for rabbits and quail too. Got a few ponds and working on fruit trees
Wow I thought that we were doing well but you sir are doing amazing, very impressive and inspiring 👍
Thanks Lisa. It's a fun process.
I love you pantry, I just went to dollar tree yesterday and got organizers for mine to make it a working pantry. Took a few hours but im glad I did it.
That's great Gypsy Star, it'll payoff in no time. Everything we can do upfront at the start to make things easier is worth the time. Shopping from your own pantry is a money saver as well. We get to buy things on sale, not just when we need them.
what a great pantry!!
Thank you. 😀
Your pantry is awesome!! Prepper Goals for sure!! I just love the system you use with dates and number of supplies and your rotation system. I do worry that a lot of people are getting into prepping but they are just shoving it away in a storage area to forget about and food and money is wasted.
I imagine that some of that is going on but we all move along at different speed. I'm just glad so many people are realizing the importance of keeping a little extra put back for emergencies. They'll eventually iron out the details. It took some time for me as well.
Here in Las Vegas I'm noticing expiration dates of 2024 on several items.
Mushroom, olives, soup
This means their already putting out stock intended for a years from now.
A lot of empty spots and prices going up considerably.
Yep, it seems like that's going on all over Looke. Word on the prepper street is stores are preparing for a food shortage and possible supply disruption. That can mean bad news for the unprepared citizen if it's true.
A lot of us have also noticed stores filling shelves with things other than what goes there in order to hide the fact that things are missing. For example, several weeks ago there was no canned carrots or corn on the shelves at our local Walmart. Not a single can. But there was no space to put those cans if they did have them. They pulled things to the front and spread them out to make it look like nothing was missing. That doesn't mean a conspiracy or anything, I can see why they might do that even in the best of times. It's just something a bunch of us happened to notice.
I'm in Vegas too
Florida too, not sure if shortage or not, may be us prepares
I've noticed it depends on what store you shop at. I'm smack dab between two Wal-Mart's. One is constantly empty, but caters to a lower income area. The other one caters to a higher income area and is well stocked. I've also seen some brands spread out that I have never heard of. I went to the store the day my state declared emergency and the panic I saw really freaked me out. I always thought everyone had some type of stock in their home, but I guess not. While people were fighting for canned goods, I was shopping for pillows.
I love this so much. So organized!!!
Just a quick tip: my family and I work in production and tech and my kids run cameras. I don’t know a ton about it but I do know when they pan...they have to do it very slowly in order for their audience to see what they want them to see. I so enjoyed seeing your room. You’ve done a fantastic job!
Thank you. :)
Thanks, I actually bought two handheld stabilizers (gimbals) and two shotgun mics for my phone. Then I need to pay attention to my fast movements and audio. I'm still waiting for most of it but I think I'm going to try the pantry tour today with what I have while it's still quite in the house.
Love it! Nicely done ✅
Thank you. 🙂
Very impressive, now is the time for everyone to be stocking up. I just stocked up on chicken and rabbit feed. Great video.
That's great Janie, and smart prepping for for your animals. I bet a lot of people haven't thought about pets and animals but they're important. Nice job. 👌
I am moving a wire shelf unit into my spare Bedroom closet tomorrow when I’m off. Was in my barn, until the Easter tornado took the roof.
Cleaned it, sprayed it for bugs, cleaned again. Now I’ll set it up in that closet off the kitchen. I live alone so I’m filling that bedroom up as an overflow pantry. Loved the video thanks for sharing.
Wow, sorry you had to deal with tornado damage. We hade to replace our roof this year as well, including the wood. It was from water damage though. Wire racks are a nice choice for those of us not willing to build shelves from scratch.
@@NextStepSurvival Where can I find the wire racks you use? They are extremely strong!
Hi Ericka, I bought those racks from Walmart one at a time as we needed them. They're not that expensive and pretty simple to put together. The boxes are extremely heavy though. I bought the four foot wide racks. Amazon sells them as well but I believe Walmart is cheaper but that may have changed. I'd compare prices first. I think the last one I bought last year was eighty-something dollars.
@@NextStepSurvival Thank you so much for the info. I will definitely go and look for it. Would you happen to know which brand?
Awesome! 😉😊
Thanks Rosie. 🙂
Wow you really impressed me sir. We are preparing but not putting the cans all one in each spot. It's all mixed up. We I see I got some straightening out our supplies. We don't use our big loveing room we use the little one on the back in our house. Guess that big loveing room could be turned in to a food and other storage supplies. I got it blocked off any way.lol to save on electric. It's really cold in there year around. Guess that would help. Im glad I found your channel. I guess I could use one side of that big loveing room as a put back storage and the other as a working pantry.. you have hepled me out a lot here. I THANK YOU.
Hi James, anywhere you can as long as the food is safe from temperature, rodents, sunlight etc. I started out using a closet in a back bedroom. I had family moving in so I had to give up the spare bedroom I was using for awhile. I don't want anyone to think a pantry has to be an overwhelming project or take over their homes. I'm glad to see you're ahead of the game though.
Wow very impressive pantry! I love this! I’m so glad to see so many others prep. 💕
Hi Mary, you're right, I find these comments very encouraging. A bunch of people are taking better control of their futures.
This is an amazing pantry. Great job!
Thank you Tanika, I'm shooting a new pantry tour as soon as my new microphone come in.
Well done. I like your simple approach. I've tried inventory keeping and such. Didn't work for me either. Now, I simply try to keep designated areas full of whatever goes into each spot. I put the Best By date, as mm/yy on the front of everything. Makes it easy when shuffling cans, for example to get the newest ones to the back. Makes it easier, at a glance to see what needs to be used soon, to make way for a replacement with a longer shelf life. Especially acidic foods that like to attack metal cans.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice Lee, it looks like we're of the same mind. The less complicated things are the more likely we are to keep up. I'm loving it. Thanks for the validation, Brian
I like it. If I can see it, then it’s easier for me to know what I have too. Back in my couponing days I had a similar way of knowing when to stop buying a particular type of product. I had a certain space for it. If the space was full, then I stopped. Unless it was free and then I bought the limit.
If free was an option I'd be in a lot of trouble. 🤣 I thought I was going to learn couponing but I gave up on the idea. I might still try to learn but it seems like store policies prevent a lot of that now.
That is an awesome pantry.
Thanks Jessica 😊
This is almost exactly how mine looks! Great job!
Thanks Linda, no complicated apps, just easy to see preps. I'm really liking it.
Beautiful pantry!!!
Thank you Michelle.
Wow! That's amazing. Good for you guys.
Thanks Dorothy Sue. 🙂
looks so organized, well done.
Thanks Tinkerbell, organization is kind of a personal specialty of mine. I get a little OCD when it comes to things being out of place. The amont of items in that small room has be quite a challenge.
Great pantry I love it
Thanks Mashonda, I appreciate you saying that. Cool name by the way.
Very nice pantry God Bless you. I'm working on mines. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and bless you too Jacqueline, I'm glad to see so many people so prepared.
I order groceries online for home delivery.
Message to those, who feel seniors are weak:
All seniors are not senile, and I do not go to the stores. The younger people are depending on us.
I always shopped online and had groceries delivered every 2 or 3 months., and I use an ate everything I purchased. I am Muslim, so I do not eat pork or pork products, I still will shop every 2 or three months online, but I know the electric will go out, so I eat my freezer foods, and will never have much of freezer products. My family and friends are generous and we will help non beggars. I use all I have stored.
I don't know why anyone would call our strongest generation weak. My parents and grandparents were the strongest people I knew.
We keep a lot of frozen foods as well but, you're right, there's always that risk lurking in the back of our mind.
We do have a large generator and enough fuel for a couple of weeks though. I'd have to start thawing and canning like crazy.
He probably meant vulnerable
When we get within a month of the exp/best buy (I know that the food is good beyond that) we take those items to the food bank and replace them. That way if there ever is a problem with the food supply or getting to it our food will be "fresher" longer.
Thank sounds like a sound strategy Jamie. I'm all for giving some out to help others. We do a lot of that as well. We don't get too much that makes it to the expiration date, other than canned foods.
Great job. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks Cindy 😊
Are you going to show any videos on how to can???
Eventually. Canning season has past for most things but I do can meat throughout the winter.
Great Video, you had me at prepper pantry ! HOOAH
LOL, it's becoming one of my favorite terms as well. I watch almost anything that has to do with prepping right now.
I love your pantry. Looks good I'm working on mine. I should have kept stocking up 20 years ago . I knew something bad was going to happen in the future.
I still have that feeling Janice. I hope I'm wrong but this supply chain talk in the news makes me nervous. The good thing is if we're wrong we still have plenty of food. It's a good investment.
Your inventory is very nice; very organized.
Thanks. Yetti.
I organize just like that, too.
Nice Susan, it looks like a bunch of us are. I'm glad to see that. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
I love this. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. 🙂
i wouldn't use an app , if your phone get hacked they will know what you have.
That's a hood point Peggy, I hadn't thought of that. Even the app's server could be hacked and that inventory is exposed. As you can see, it wouldn't make much difference in my case since I'm putting it out on UA-cam. But it's certainly something for others to consider.
@@NextStepSurvival your Pantry is a dream of mine :)
Damn..I thought my stock room was nice but now I'm second guessing it! I have a lot of my own canning though.
We can't base our preps off others because we all prep for different situations. We can a lot as well but most of that stays at another location in case we can't stay here for some reason. I also worry that a fire could take it all. BTW, if you live near a Meijer store they have packs of children buy one get one free. That make it under a dollar a pound. I bought ten packs that I'm canning up tomorrow along with a couple pork roasts.
@@NextStepSurvival how do you can “packs of children” ...you would have to have big jars for that! lol
@@Ness-oc2hw LOL Yep, small children in large cans. That was supposed to say chicken. 🤣
@@NextStepSurvival 😂😂😂
Very impressive! I can't imagine how long it would take to get at this level! My grandparents pantry looked like this with their canning when I was a kid.
It actually adds up quickly with a steady and determined pace. We took our time but added something each week. We never used credit or put a strain on our budget. One nice thing about it was shopping sales and not needing to buy because we planned on a particular meal. I've been really enjoying it.
@@NextStepSurvival It's quite an eye opener and a crisis isn't the only reason to be stocked, quite the savings as well. Thanks for your inspiration and sharing.
Wow. That’s a really nice stock. Stressful to look at and I’m not even a minimalist at all so, I’d ONLY go in there to restock and retrieve things, I guess. But, it’s great that you started early enough to comfortably have all you need for you and your wife. You will have far less stress than so many others.
Thanks, several family members have said it's a little overwhelming to look at. It's hundreds of items crammed into a small room so I totally understand. We lived off that for well over a month without leaving the house for anything earlier in the covid. We didn't put much of a dent in it but we scrambled to replace everything as quickly as possible. I feel like we're back on track now.
So funny I get a comforting feeling looking at it, I think I could just hang out awhile in there!😁😉😊🤗🤗
Rosie Rose yeah, everyone would look at it differently. I do know what you mean because, as I prep, I find it to be a cumbersome and stressful distraction from what I actually hoped to be doing. Like, the cans of food I’m tripping over, in the small I have, are simply a constant reminder of how things may be moving towards gloom and doom. Something my parents, with 2 nice houses and plenty of space, never had to worry about. They just lived. As my generation isn’t really doing better than the previous generation, I feel as if I’ve been kicked back to the Great Depression, with the exception of the fact that even more is required by me, even by my mother, because she doesn’t see it.
@@privateprivate8366 Indeed, the pressure is definitely up right now and taking a lot of the fun from life. It's temporary though. In the mean time, look at each container of food as a buffer. It should represent an achievement, not a burden. You're way ahead in the game just by understanding the need and doing something about it. Most people still can't imagine an empty refrigerator. They have what we call normalcy bias.
NextStepSurvival I understand what you mean. But, speaking for myself, it isn’t temporary. It’s a trend.
I spent 8 years trying to climb out the recession. Subsequent to that, my feeling has been, if another recession were to come along, I don’t know if I could make it. For me, “making it” doesn’t simply mean I have enough money and food. I wanted to thrive. Not have so much energy and time devoted to surviving. Yet, for me, I’m barely 4 years out of the recession and we have this complete disaster, that appears to worsen daily. It is Sisyphean. You can never do enough. You can never prepare enough to get back to the things that we’re successes for you and that you enjoy. I don’t even like the fact that, while I’m stressed and preparing, probably 100% of the people I know aren’t preparing one damned thing. They are simply living. Things may go wrong. Things may go right. But, I know that the way things have gone have turned life into absolute mockery of itself. The way things are and what the trajectory seems to be, I’m not quite sure that I want to be as part of this dystopian future, just because I happen to have food in hard.
Sorry to be a Debbie Downer about it. But, that’s the way I feel and I’m tired of my life being turned into some flaming emergency. This is doubly and triply so, because I know the world expects of me to take care of my mother when she will need it. Sorry but, this generation has to work far harder, for far less so, I’m done.
Indeed the best way to go like you do it , to keep track of everything thats been eaten is a job on it's own . I use a small basement now but soon ( very very soon ) i wil use a room for extra's because the world is becoming very strange and dangerous .
Thanks Dredd, indeed it is. Things are getting to the breaking point in many ways. I don't like to talk negative but I can see things turning sideways very quickly. It's like we're waiting for the other foot to drop and we need to be prepared as best as possible.
@@NextStepSurvival Al things that are happening now and the way it is going to is not talking negative , it's a realistic point of view . To put your head in the sand and pretend nothing is happening it is not . Do the best you can with the means you have for the things that are ( most likely ) coming , better starting a year to soon then a day to late ( see the toilet paper ""riots"" ) .
@@dreddredd7137 Thanks, I couldn't have said it better.
I agree with having your food separated into different locations. For the first time in 18 years of living here I'm actually using my attic. Long-term buckets up there. Normal pantry in a small basement room, and second pantry hidden elsewhere. Working pantry in kitchen (half boxes of pasta, canisters of baking supplies, etc). Just in case someone decided we look too healthy for lean times and decides they're coming in to partake, we will still have some left. And no way can they carry it all out at once and definitely not wise to return...
@@melissac3618 It's a shame we have to think that extreme but that could be the world we're moving into. I still have faith in people but prepare for the worst.
What do you supposed the shelf life of the container is for the honey? Is there any? Same thing for the bottles holding water, I want to say I read something about it but cant for the life of me remember.
Thanks, good stuff keep it up!
Both water and honey are forever foods as long as stored correctly and protected from contamination. They simply don't go bad. There may be an issue if kept in plastic but I believe that depends on the container. You should be safe for years in hard water bottle containers but less so with the juice and soda bottles you seen. Avoid soft plastic like milk jugs, they'll begin to leak quickly.
You were moving so much and so quickly it was making me dizzy literally. I would love to see the video without all of the movement. Thank you
You can, actually. That video was horrible but you can see the same same thing in my full pantry tour at ua-cam.com/video/RuVHh9RWWU8/v-deo.html I did a lot better in that video.
@@NextStepSurvival Thank you so much for. I could tell what you had to share was amazing, and I read a lot of the comments, which were all positive. Thanks for not taking what I said as negative. That wasn't my intent. Looking forward to watching it. May God bless you and your family. Be safe!
You need more sweets and comfort food 😁
We're going full on Keto tomorrow. Sweet are off the menu for awhile but, truth be told, nothing is more comforting for me than a thick juicy steak. 😋
I am inspired by the size of this pantry but I always have to wonder, do you eat mostly canned food in your regular meals to be able to effectively rotate your stock and make sure nothing goes bad? In my day to day cooking I don't use many canned items, so I wonder how this could work.
We eat what we buy but not as much canned foods as it would seem from what's in our pantry. That's the beauty of canned goods, they don't go bad as long as they're stored properly and undamaged. The best buy date isn't an expiration date, they'll last for many years. We do go through a lot of canned vegetables during the winter and spring months when our garden isn't producing. We home can and dehydrate as well but as cheap as canned and frozen vegetables are, I'm using my canning jars for meats and soups. They've suddenly become a limited resource that I don't want to use up on green beans and corn. 🙂
Hello de France
Jolie réserve prepper
Je voudrais faire la même chose
Thank you Loic, you can do it. Slow and steady. Just stay consistent and your pantry will grow faster than seems possible.
I live in a really tiny apartment it sucks cause we just dont have any actual space trying to move out is now impossible cause where I am at theres no rentals. Im stuck trying to do the best we can.
That's all you can do for now Melody. If I could offer a few tips, think about space at the bottom of your closets, under the bed, under a staircase and even out in the open. Years ago I had cases of food against the wall in our living room. I put a piece of plywood (Home Depot will cut to size) as a table top. We covered it with a large table cloth that draped down all sides. After a lamp and a few nick nacks you would have never known. We did the same thing with water and TP in the bathroom. You might consider a stocked bugout location eventually if you're in a large city. We do that even though we're pretty rural here.
Food stocks in your empty luggage, behind couches, etc. You may surprise yourself by hidey holes you can find...
You might think about dehydrated and/or freeze dried foods. They take up a lot less space.
You have more stuff than any grocery store
I don't know about that but a while back I did have more of certain items than on the local store shelves.
I liked watching, but you move the camera so fast, I got see sick.
I know Shelia, I apologize for that. I actually already recorded my next video and decided not to upload it until I can re-record it for that very reason. Between that and the loud noises, I think I need to take the time to do it right.
LOL. Seasick.
Do you keep this room extra cool, or just the regular way you cool and heat your house! please come to my house, I just can’t find a room to keep everything! do you think a garage is to hot, I just love your pantry!
I cover the vents in the winter and open them in the summer so it stays cool in there.
As far as a garage goes, I live in Michigan and I still feel it gets too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter to store most foods.
Cans and liquids would freeze in the winter and get pretty warm in the summer. Bugs and rodents would be harder to control as well.
Before we had a single room to use we had preps all over the house - anywhere we could. I actually had 3 racks in our bedroom and two in our living room. Just depends on what you and your family are willing to put up with. They were a pretty decent conversation piece. 😉
Enjoyed the video but please don't swing the camera so much.
Thank Vicki, I just uploaded a full pantry tour a couple hours ago and I think I did way better on that one. Thanks to honest feedback like this I knew what to work on. Thank you for that.
First rule for preppers, remain unknown. Super made, now all your neighbors and looters know where to get food when there is nothing left to buy
Really? Where's that Mad Max? If things ever got THAT bad we wouldn't be here. You'll never see a video of our fallback "bugout" location. Thanks for your concern though.
@@NextStepSurvival I am just a christian who wants to protect your life
Thank you. :)
Nice protein stock. Love protein could live on it if I had both kidneys.
Thanks, that was probably the toughest prep. I'm canning more and more now. I've been canning everyday since the video. Chicken bone broth today.
Moved around to quickly made me dizzy.
Yeah, that was pretty bad April. I think I did a lot better in my newest video, a Complete Prepper Pantry Tour ua-cam.com/video/RuVHh9RWWU8/v-deo.html
Let me know what you think if you decide to give it a look.
Wow you got a Grocery store
LOL, my wife did mention we had more canned meat and vegetables than our local Meijer store a couple of months ago. I appreciate that Lola. 🙂
What is the weight rating on your wire shelves?
I'm not sure to be honest. I did start noticing a tiny bit of sagging on my Keystone canned meat shelf. That's why I stopped at three high and started adding overflow to the next rack. That's 108 large cans on a single shelf and it seems pretty solid still.
Beautiful pantry! I loved watching this video. I subbed too. Hugs❤️
Thank you Terra, I really appreciate it. 🙂
Very nice stock pile, thank you for sharing . Gave me some ideas👍 how long did this take you to collect?
Thank you Charmain, I'm glad it helped. I've be working on it for year - slow but consistent.
HO...LY....COW!!!!! WELL DONE!!!
A...MAZING!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😲😯
Thank you Marilyn 😊
Very impressive pantry from what little I could see..... It would have been really great to see one shelf at a time ( a little slower). Jumping from top to bottom and left to right...back and forth sooo fast ....was VERY hard to watch. I was interested in learning your type of "Inventory System", but I had to keep looking away from your video. Best wishes to you and your family!!
Yep, I totally understand. I'm determined to do better. Thanks for the honest constructive criticism.
Wow
Looks great. I want all that Keystone you’ve got. I’m sick from all the quick camera movement though.
Thank Kimberly, that canned meat was by far the most expensive preps we've purchased. Now I'll be canning the meat ourselves. And you're right about the quick movements. I need to do better with my videos. I also noticed I was too close a lot of the time and the noise from moving things around was terrible. I've already recorded my next video but those after that I'll try to do much better. Thanks for taking the time to comment and I hope you have a great week.
you got seeds?
Plenty of seeds. We garden every year so many are from this year's garden and others are store bought. I order most of our seeds from a local UA-camer that lives just north of me. I always order extra, even those I've already saved from our garden, just in case there's a failure and they don't sprout.
Impressive !
Holy shit . I did the math and it would take me 1437 years to eat all that food . Hope your hungry.
LOL Starving. 😆
@@NextStepSurvival seriously great video. All your videos are helpful. Hope you make more.
Thank you. More coming soon. In fact I just published two more this last weekend.
Where did you get the labels you hung on the front of your shelves
On Amazon. Search "Lenink 30Pcs Plastic Wire Shelf Label Holders"
This rocks. But do you rotate? And what do you have for long term?
Rice
Beans
Lentils
Kidney
Oats
Flour
Cornmeal
Wheat berries
A grain mill to make flour.
Do you have kids?
Hope you got water.
Thanks Angelika, I do rotate and my next video will be up in the next day or two and you'll see all of those things, including water. I give a tour of my entire pantry. I already filmed it I just need to edit and get it uploaded. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. 🙂
Honey could be still good in 3500 years.....
That's a fact John. 🍯
New sub...all I can say is 😲wow. How long did it take you to acquire a pantry like this
Thank you. Honestly I've been working on it for years. I still have jars of vegetables I canned in 2015. It takes time unless your rich. We quarantined for six weeks without ever leaving the house back in April and lived entirely off our preps. It took this long to replace most of that. Now we just need to replace things as we use them. I imagine I'll still keep adding out of habit.
mostly unhealthy, god bless, nice black shelving
Thanks Wayne.
Really well done. Isn't it great knowing your family will be okay with all the food stuff?
It is Maggie, for food at least.
Where do you buy your canned meat at? The big cans of meat labeled KEYSTONE.
I bought these from Meijer and Walmart. Amazon sells them too but the prices are way too high.
What size are those plastic labels ? I have similar shelving and love your idea.
They're 3"x1.25" and do not come with the paper label inserts. I found cutting a 3x5 plain index card into one and a quarter inch strips work perfectly.
For the same ones search "Lenink 30Pcs Plastic Wire Shelf Label Holders" and be sure to get the 3". They have 6" labels as well but I didn't need those.
How long have you been doing this
Hi Truncine, we've kept a well stocked pantry forever but I started "prepping" five or six years ago I think. It takes time but we just move slow and steady.
Hi, my apologies, for this is off topic, but I live in NY. AND today Columbus Day, I saw, did not get to take a pic, canning jars (a few), a presto canner, and a water bath canner in this walmart:
250 NY-59, Suffern, NY 10901
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks Monami, I hope a good person snatches that up. I'm set with canning supplies for awhile but no one can find them. I did order some reusable lids last week and was happy to pay the extra price just in case. The large manufacturers announced that they wouldn't be shipping to stores until March of next year so they can get caught up. That's bad news for a lot of canners.
@@NextStepSurvival I know. It is very sad for all. I was able to get a few dozen canning jars myself. Not many to begin with, and was actually shocked to see a pressure AND a water bath canner just sitting there on the shelve. I have one of each already and am not that active on UA-cam to buy it and send it to someone as I have seen some people do. That is why I posted the info instead. Hopefully a person that needs it and can go there will get it. That would be a blessing.
👍👍👍
WOW
You should never show all of what u have. 1st rule of prepping in my opinion.
That's the first rule? I'd argue that but, as I mentioned in the video several times, I didn't.
Can't wait till Apocalypse .... I'm going to your house ...tehe
No need to wait. Come on over and we'll fire up the bbq.
How long have you been doing this
I've always had a little put back but I probably started taking it seriously only 4 or 5 years ago.
