      You can also ferment peeled garlic in raw honey. That will only get better in years (from 3 years old it will be the most delicious). Just make sure to stir it the first few days/weeks to keep garlic below the honey. It will sink and shelf life is really long. Also great as natural medicine.❤

      @@tamrajohnson5174 yes I knew about salt from the feed stores. They usually even have trace minerals in it so it’s more nutritional. Only reason I don’t stock that type is because they don’t filter it as much as they do the regular table, canning, kosher, and other salts for human consumption. So often you will have dirt, dust and other debris in the feed store animal salts. Still worth it though I’ll agree with you, because when shtf you’re not going to care about that; just my preference.

    I do canning but I find that, unless you grow it yourself, it is not the lowest-priced way to go; canning equipment, energy, produce, extra additives, and TIME!

    This is a great video and great suggestions. My only thing is, you've got canned pineapple juice in there. The canning process destroys the bromelain. I learned this the hard way when I tried to make jello with fresh pineapple. It wouldn't gel! That's because bromelain inhibits gelatin from forming. Thus, they say you MUST use canned pineapple if you want to make pineapple jello. So canned pineapple juice actually has no bromelain because it's been killed off in the heat process. It's still pretty high in vitamin C and tastes great though. I certainly wouldn't turn it away in a boogaloo situation like we're talking about but maybe best to get a freezer and freeze some fresh pineapple juice.

    This is a great list, but I would also add several spices to it. Cumin is a flavor enhancer, even better than and obviously healthier than, MSG. Turmeric is loaded with micro nutrients and has even been known to aid in weight management. Dried minced onion, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder are all great for flavoring food and can reduce the need to add a lot of salt to meals. These food stuffs will keep for a number of years, if stored properly. Dried herbs may also be stored, but their shelf life is limited to a couple of years. Still, they can be useful while they ARE good.

    From Lil Giant Great list. I am a prepper and have decided to ad the braided garlic, olives, and pineapple juice. That last was really surprising to me.
    You really need home canned tomato juice, sauce, and/or spaghetti sauce. Flavor for casseroles, lycopine, etc. Once your garden harvest comes in not as important. You can can/dry them. You also need applesauce.
    You can use applesauce in baking to replace oil in baked goods. Also versatile-on top of pancakes or toast, in cakes, breads, donuts. Has bulk as well as nutrition. Does not need to be cooked. (Blessing sometimes.) Flavors your breakfast oatmeal. (Many 72 hour kits have starches like oatmeal). Provides a sweet as comfort food.
    Complement to pork, for those who eat meat. (I NEVER eat pork. More difficult to store well without refrigeration. Takes twice as long to digest as other meats and putrifies in the gut once you have eaten fruit, sugars, etc. This is a danger to your health, particularly in crisis.) Applesauce is terrific. You should store it.
    Cabbage products are also fantastic.
    Those who prep SHOULD consider storing AND ALSO EATING WHEAT. Stored in a number ten can you can buy already filled, it lasts 25-30 years if kept at cool temps like under 70 degrees. You would need to get a grain mill. Handymen can buy a bike kit and attach ANY bike to the manual mill, to grind more easily. You could also buy parts yourself to connect to a standing exercise bike to assist in grinding. Of course, if not mechanically inclined can just use any manual mill and grind yourself. But hard to do unless high quality.
    Online they appear to be $15-55. But I canning recommend any of them. Not familiar. 20 years ago I always used a friend’s old commercial A&P coffee grinder to grind my wheat.
    I listened to a video and have ordered a mill that costs $96 with tax and shipping but suspect will be hard to grind. She claimed a Wonder Mill was one that would be better for those with only a manual (not electric.) Cannot recommend either one. Do not know. HOWEVER might be worth your while to research.
    When grinding my own wheat a doctor did blood tests on my daughter checking for migraines. Each of the four test results, he said WOW! We ate homemade bread from ground wheat and alfalfa sprouts, cuz very poor. Wheat is fantastic for your health. You can sprout it. You can plant it. I use half and half with flour for bread, pancakes. Vietnamese chewed (slowly) grains like rice, wheat while on the run. You can cook it up whole for a bulgur breakfast with honey. Can replace rice/noodles in casseroles with bulgur. Make potatoless salad with bulgur to replace potatoes. Can dry-store like rice in canning jars. Egyptian tombs had honey and wheat that could still be planted, sprouted, when opened them. CAUTION: If you have not been eating wheat in your diet on regular basis, do not advise eating wheat as your MAIN staple. Such use without other foods can cause dysentery for those not accustomed to eating wheat. That could be dangerous without medical help in a crisis. But if you will start using it now, it can be one of FOUR basic staples to get a minimal storage -1) wheat & flour, 2) powdered milk, 3) salt, 4) sugar &honey. (Honey is better.)
    I heartily recommend everything this video host has given you, however. He has good, basic ideas. They are doable-especially for beginners. These things could save your life.

      @@nancy9478 From Lil Giant No. My daughter’s headaches were from allergy to corn. First thing I fed her ( over 40 years ago, in the summertime) once she had completed simple diet for allergy cleansing prescribed by doctor, first thing I gave her was corn on the cob with margarine-all corn stuff. (Forgive my total ignorance at the time.) Immediate migraine. What a problem. Corn in EVERYTHING, especially candy and canned goods.
      We had to change that pretty fast. I look at it as Heavenly Father guiding, teaching, and protecting us. First learned not to eat too much meat, to eat more grains and vegetables in season, not to drink alcoholic beverages unless of my own make-due to conspiracies “that do and will exist in these the latter days,” not to smoke, or drink tea or coffee. Then we started with wheat and alfalfa sprouts, progressed to not eating corn or other products (they soon started adding GMO’s to) and ended up preparing our own food for consumption.
      So now, like many others. we gain a desire to progress to homesteading. Step by step. Little by little. Eventful life. God Bless America, and pray that we may be strong in the coming evils.

    It’s nice that you care and want to help others but not everyone eats the same, so suggestions, although welcome, is not a one-size-fits-all. The #1 rule of being prepared is to store what you use and use what you store (keeping it rotated prevents spoilage). I do not store rice because I do not eat it. There are many options for flours, coconut flour, almond flour, acorn flour, etc. Flour can be made out of anything that can be dried. Honey, YES, it’s a great taste and can be used with many things. It’s one of the rare exceptions to me as a low-carb eater (carbs create hunger so I avoid them like the plague!). Raw salt only, pink salt preferred. Processed salt is unhealthy and causes a lot of medical problems. Coconut oil, YES, along with olive oil, avocado oil, bacon grease, and lard. Garlic & Onions are important to have and easy to grow. I could go on and on since I’ve lived a sustainable lifestyle for close to 70 years, but I’ll shut up now and go enjoy more of your videos.

      Nutritional values
      Buckwheat is a pseudo-cereal that does not contain gluten and is low in fat, having a significant amount of nutrients in relation to the number of calories it contains (155 calories for 1 cup of buckwheat flour). The ratio of fat in buckwheat is about 1 gram per cup of boiled buckwheat seeds, containing 0.2 g of saturated fat. These values ​​represent monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, both being considered healthy fats for the body. Buckwheat also does not contain carbohydrates, but is rich in healthy natural fiber.
      This food provides a sufficient amount of protein (7-21%, depending on environmental factors) and is rich in lysine, an essential amino acid used for protein biosynthesis. This plant beneficial to health has one of the highest amino acid scores (100) in the plant category and contains 59-70% starch. Buckwheat proteins are composed of several types of amino acids than wheat or other cereals, especially lysine. The human body cannot produce lysine naturally, so it needs to get it from food.
      Thiamine is a micronutrient found in buckwheat and has the role of helping carbohydrates to produce energy. It also contains niacin (beneficial for the digestive system, nerves and skin), copper, which helps make collagen and absorb iron, and zinc, which is important for supporting the immune system.
