I like the idea of dividing different types of food in one bucket because then you don't have to have several buckets open at once to prepare your meals. Having all of your flour/rice in one bucket makes that bucket more liable to spoil.
Thanks for commenting!
Molasses - extremely long shelf life - does not need refrigeration - unlike plain sugar, had nutritional value. Using small amounts adds a rich, old fashioned comfort to foods. 😊
Thanks PatAnne!
Where do you get molasses? Nowhere near me, including feed stores, seems to ever carry it.
@@Heather-xm9ul I get it in regular grocery stores. Check the top shelf these days.
Just use the regular molasses - not what's called Black Strap molasses, it's very strong.
Thank you
@@billyannecrews6651 😊 forgot to mention, get "unsulfured". It's very clear on the label. Take care.
Cayenne Pepper has excellent first aid uses including heart problems and bleeding issues. Amongst others, it's a must have. 🏥
Yesterday I was opening and checking the contents of my five-gallon buckets. Before I closed them back up I randomly added some small items like dental floss, toilet paper, bars of soap, tissues, a jar of petroleum jelly (wrapped in a zip lock), matches, candles, chapstick, etc. Things that might be needed that wouldn't puncture the mylar bags. Comfort items that would be much appreciated.
I would Not put Soap and Cleaning items in a bucket that has food in it even if the food is in Mylar bags.
Mix the buckets, you can fill smaller voids in the bucket with other items: powered soup and seasoning mix packets, drink mix (Tang or powdered lemonade - something with vitamin C), extra tools and the like (cheap can openers, matches, etc.). Leaving that space open is a waste IMO.
Just be careful putting tools and sharp objects in there. The mylar bags *will puncture.
@@danniemcdonald7675 For those #10 cans of freeze dried stuff many of us buy, what I normally do is toss a P38 under the plastic lid with a dab of rubber cement, then put the plastic lid back on the can while sealed. Keeps the can opener from rattling, and puncturing anything - but you will always have the tool to open the can when you want to open it.
The 5gallon pails, I normally put on Gama Seal lids - the top has a cross-shaped depression which serves as a handle for opening/closing the lid. It's a great place to tuck some common items like matches, water purification tablets, band-aids, etc...
I had several 2 lb boxes/jars of sale and found they fit nicely on top of the mylar bags. This way in 5-20 years when life and location change we won't have to look for salt in an emergency. It's right there with the beans, rice, oats and pasta
I would like to suggest that if you store anything in 5 gallon food grade plastic buckets that you check the bottom of your buckets at least once a year for cracks. I have had many buckets crack on the bottom after a few years of putting them up for storage.
We eat by convenience at this point but once things get crazy we eat to live. Beans can also be sprouted, lots of nutrients.
Just a quick one. Flour increases "strength" with age. For bread, age is good. Bakers pay a premium for 18month old flour. Your drop cookies, not so good.
We have four food grade buckets full of masa harina. Probably a four year supply, plus the active containers in the kitchen. I can make tacos, tortillas, tortilla chips, tamales, tostadas, dumplings, johnny cake, cornbread, and use it in salmon patties. I've seen my grandmother make it from field corn, so this is sustainable if we run out. 25 lbs was $15.96 at Walmart last week.
I also stored dried chickpeas. These are incredibly versatile, nutritious, and easy to cook. I've made chickpea milk and sour cream, as well as hummus, burgers, soups, stews, and salads.
And the rice, quinoa, beans, lentils, flour, sugar, salt, and spices I can't grow. And our pet rat, Diamond, got loose in the storeroom. She chewed her way into the plastic lid on a large metal container of toasted sesame oil. The contents are safely stored in glass jars in the fridge. She didn't actually get to the oil or anything else. We store large containers of oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauces, mirin, and rice vinegar. I make ACV from surplus apples sold for cheap at a local orchard. You need flavor for your food: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami.
Thanks for sharing Sandra!
Sandra, I have never heard of masa harina. If I buy plain cornmeal is that the same thing? Great suggestions. I have soy sauce but I had not thought of Worcestershire.
@@lyndarina9839 Corn meal is not the same. Masa harina is nixtalmalized corn, which releases nutrition. You might be interested in looking up the history of how corn and pellegra were introduced to the world after the Columbian exchange. The traditional methods of processing corn didn't accompany the rapid spread of corn in the world. I'm a food history nerd. 🙂
Good suggestions JR. Like you, I divide my dry foods into gallon- (flour, rice, sugar, corn meal, wheat berries, etc) or quart- (beans, pastas, salt, etc) size mylar bags and then mix them up in the 5 gal buckets. One additional step I take is to list on the lid with a Sharpie all of the contents and the date I pack the bucket. That way if we are forced to bug out, I'll know exactly what's in each bucket and I can prioritize what I'm taking if time is short or space is limited.
Good idea! Thanks for commenting!
That's a great system, & I'm going to adopt it! I'll also put ziplock type bags in at the top of the 'high priority' buckets in case of not being to heat reseal the mylar. Thanks so much for your comment! I was just thinking about the need for better organization of supplies. 🌝🍀
Great video! I stored buckets of rice, beans, salt and sugar well over a year ago and watching this video made me confident I did it right. Keep these videos coming!
Thank you Joe!
Honestly, one of the best channels on UA-cam. Very informative. I am looking forward to the next episode. Keep up the great work 👍
Thank you Chris! I really appreciate it!
@The Scourge Thanks for commenting! Have you tried a hair straightener set to 375-425 degrees?
Thank you for addressing breastfeeding babies! So many preppers simply overlook the realities associated with young children and menstruating women.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
..a month later and the importance of keeping plenty of baby formula has become clear to everyone ....
You can freeze dry breast milk.
Great information! Thank you for sharing!
One thing I do is make small, one or two serving size bags of the item being stored using my Foodsaver, then I store all of those individual bags in a mylar bag with the O2 absorber. That way, when I open the mylar bag, I am not exposing ALL of my beans, rice, etc. to the elements. I am only going to expose the items I want to use, and the rest will remain sealed in the Foodsaver bags.
Have a better day!
Excellent Advice throughout the entire video as usual. I tend to use smaller bags when storing rice because I know how much I need to create a meal for my wife and myself. Therefore, I am not having to reseal a ten-pound bag when I only need two cups. I have a Food Saver with bags and the reg mouth and wide mouth jar sealer lid. Love the channel. 😃😃
Thank you Axelbrode!
That's exactly how I do it. Makes for longer lasting stored foods. No need to try and reseal. 1 to 2 cups of rice per pack for cooking. No need to measure since I write dates and quantity on each pack.
This is a really good video, great advice without any fear mongering
Thank you!
Cheese waxing needs to be added to the list. Gotta have cheese for the tacos.
WHERE your food comes from is also important! DDT and other pesticides banned in the U.S. are still used on crops in places such as South America and Asia!
Really great presentation. I have been buying one #10 can of freeze dried items like mountain house meals or flour, veggies, butter and shortening, milk powder and eggs (10year shelf life), pancake mix and corn, fruit etc, and canned foods and veggies and pasta sauce etc one item per month of each type I have gotten to a 6 month supply for 4 spending only 50 to 75 dollars per month. Took a few years but never really hurt us financially. Canned items and rice beans and flour get used up as they age. No waste.
The freeze dried eggs and other freeze dried foods etc that went out of date I added to regular meals. Cost per serving for 4 is about 1 to 2.50 per person when purchased. But that was in dollars ten years ago so the cost per meal now is much cheaper.
Using the freeze dried meals in #10 cans and the 2-2 and 1/2 serving sized freeze dried meals you add to dried items makes freeze dried cheaper and meals taste better. Make a soup base with freeze dried veggies, add rice beans from your buckets then add the mountain house beef stew right to the soup pot with your rice and beans. If you have bouillon and canned or freeze dried meat you can really extend that expensive FD meal. Also noodles like flat, elbows or spaghetti added to any pasta freeze dried meal like chili mac or beef stroganoff allows you to add tons of flavor to the cheapest storage foods.
Thanks for watching and sharing Kevin!
This is invaluable advice. Thank you so much 🙏🏽❤️
Where do you find #10 cans of food?
@@cheryleisenmenger5501 Most of the companies that sell the #10 cans are very expensive. I have been purchasing the #10 cans of dry and dehydrated food from The Mormon LDS Home Storage Center. The prices are very reasonable, between $5 to $10 per gallon size can. They sell basic items such as rice, several kinds of beans, sugar, flour, oats, dehydrated onions, dehydrated carrots, macaroni, potato flakes, also wheat berries, etc. All the items are sealed in metal #10 gallon size cans and are waterproof, bug-proof, rodent proof. This gives me an added feeling of security, without all the work and supplies needed to do all of it myself. Most are good for 20 to 30 years stored in a cool dry place. They ship mail order or see if they have a center in your Area. There are 100 of the centers in the United States, and I am lucky to live very near one. I understand the shipping rates are very reasonable. The Mormons are friendly and eager to help.
Make sure your cast iron skittles are up to snuff on your seasonings!! That was a nice giggle to end on. You do lovely work here on your channel, sir.
Thank you Sami!
Man.....I'm here in Texas too...and I just added masa on my list yesterday! Great minds!👊
Thanks for commenting Rubio!
For cast iron don’t forget thick gloves to handle the heat
To store brown sugar, store a jar of molasses and plain sugar. I T. molasses mixed into 1 cup sugar equals 1 cup brown sugar. Add small packages of spices [esp. salt!] in the 5 gallon buckets w/smaller bags of beans, rice, flour so you can grab that bucket and have it all together.
Good Mexican Food is hard to beat. And Texas is a great State to live in. Great Second Amendment Supporters State. I enjoy your informational series, don't stop. Don't forget freeze drying and vacuum packing . Thank you JR.
Many herbs and spices are also good for teas and health uses.
Raw honey really is great for wounds. That reason is exactly why I will never barter away honey. It's too versatile, too good to get rid of. I'm trying to learn to bake with honey instead of sugar. It's not a big challenge, I just don't bake very often so it's a bit slow to memorize the difference.
Bread Beckers (among others) sells granulated honey which works great with baking.
I use up granulated honey for baking an measure it cup for cup. Or slightly less because honey is sweeter.
And one of the most important things, no one except very close people to you has to know you are prepared with food and supplies for an emergency.
I do mixed buckets too, but I tuck the small spices in with it.
I no longer have babies, my 2 children are of adult and teen years now. But I have to say I have watched many preppers channels suggesting to make sure you have enough baby food and formula if you have a little one, but you are honestly the first I've ever heard explain the many reasons why you need to stock up on formula and I think that is just so important. As a mother I breast fed both my children but after not too long I had to supplement with formula because I just wasn't producing enough. This is very wonderful information to really get those parents out there who do breast feed to really think about this if they haven't considered it already. Thank you for getting that info out there!
Thank you for your comment!
Thanks J R ! Another fine topic to cover . I’m like you and to have a situation where there were no tacos… that’s a true SHTF moment ! 👍🏻 Take care Brother !
Thanks Mark! You too!
Good stuff, JR! I think I'm doing as well as possible, and have most of your suggestions covered. And for sweeteners, I'm currently harvesting maple sap, and making my own Maple Syrup! For barter if necessary, but we will use it in almost everything! Sharing with neighbors too, of course. Stay well!!
Thanks Karl! That’s awesome about the syrup!
We do cane syrup here in north Florida
Thank you for this awesome video! I have celiac disease (can’t eat gluten) and have a baby and toddler. Not many people talk about either of those circumstances when it comes to prepping so when you covered them both in the first few minutes you got a new subscriber here!! This was all super informative and much appreciated. Also my patriot supply sells gluten free freeze dried prepping food, in case anyone else is like me and has those dietary limitations. I haven’t tried them yet but the reviews are great.
Thank you Olivia! I didn’t know that they sold that!
I've been watching a lot of these videos the last week, and many people do actually mention gluten issues. You can get gluten free pasta and gluten free flour. I have to pay attention to this because my wife has a gluten issue.
Just started on my prepping journey in Australia. Have been binge-watching this channel and also Canadian Prepper amongst a few others. The bills are racking up rapidly but i am feeling satisfied that i am preparing for my extended family. I have a long way to go but the basics are well on the way to being covered. Good luck to everyone in your prepping efforts. From bulk rice and pasta to UHF radios and first aid kits, there's a lot to cover.
Excellent video as always. Keep it up. I have learned a lot from you.
Awesome video JR!! Lots of great ideas for different scenarios. Thank you.
Thank you Sherry!
Thanks for sharing these tips. I appreciate the ones about apartment dwellers and for special food needs. Best wishes.
Awesome video my man thanks
Great video. Lots of great info!
Thank you Brian!
Another great video, thanks for all you do for the community.
Thank you!
JR, as usual, you've done a fine video with lots of great information and encouragement. I vacuum seal most of my dry goods and try my best to do the first in first out with canned goods. I've started vacuuming my frozen goods, too. The more air tight the better! Thank you again for a great video!
Thank you Millie! A vacuum sealer is another item I would love to pick up.
JR about 20 years ago some friends gave me a Foodsaver. We used it til it died! I bought another one and I've never regretted having it. It's great for more than food, you can seal medicines for long term shelf life, loose items like buttons or screws nails, etc. My late husband used it for small hardware items so they didn't get lost. It's worth the money, honey!🙂
@@milliemrrobinson1074 I agree! My Food Saver is the one appliance I would choose if I could only have one. Like you said, you can use it for more than food. Some of the things that I have vacuum sealed are matches candles, extra clothing (socks, t-shirts, underwear), cash, lmportant documents (don't seal completely because it may cause ink transfer).... anything that you want to keep dry.
Such sensible advice! Much food for thought!
Thanks for watching and commenting Lyle!

Want to thank you brother. You info is so good . I believe you help people thank you.
Thank you Shayne!
What about vacuum sealing Beans and rice?
One thing I want to mention about bucket lids...Almost everyone I know has problems with gamma lids cracking...Save those for your "working" buckets, and put regular lids on the ones you use for storing things...
Also things like beans are extremely high in fiber...we eat that stuff now, so our bodies are used to it...It will be hard to take care of whatever needs to be taken care of in an emergency situation if you're sitting on a toilet...
Another benefit to having smaller bags of stuff is that if you use it slower or don’t eat it as quickly it won’t go bad. Like if there are only one or two of you.
You can make 4 1 gallon bags from 1 5 gallon bag.
Just commending you...I have heard several excellent ideas from some of your videos, that I have not heard on other prepping channels.
So, GOOD JOB!!!
Thank you Lindy!
There’s a P-51 which is the daddy of the P-38. It’s about the size of a flash drive. For those who have a hard time using the P-38. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Ken!

@@kenmccrady1228 thanks
People around me knock me constantly for not getting big containers of a product. But, my little jars and jugs of shelf stable product will survive a little while longer when there's trouble by only having refrigeration needs for a single use in an apartment sized fridge as opposed to a greater need all around.
Cool video thanks.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Mice can eat through a heavy duty plastic trash container, I have had it happen where I had cattle feed stored. Another prepper said beans, rice, flour, etc. should be frozen for 2-3 days to kill any bug eggs before storing in containers.
Bugs can’t live without oxygen
We got our first food grade buckets with lids at Firehouse Subs last weekend for $3 each. The only downside is that they smell VERY strongly of pickle haha. But hey, super low cost storage for the 25 lb bags of dried food! Thanks for the continued motivation and prepping ideas. :)
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I do the same thing. I leave them outside and open for a couple of months and catch rainwater with them and most of the pickle smell is gone after that.
I use pickle buckets from my job,wash with hot soapy water and white vinegar then let air dry outside for 2-3 days the smell goes away lol
I wash them with hot water and detergent twice. Rinse. Then add more hot water, detergent, vinegar and baking soda. Let them sit 2 days. Rinse. Wash with detergent and rinse. Ready. You can also get buckets from donut shops & they smell wonderful!
As a fellow Texan, I love your hat!
Thanks Richard!
I’m using my husband’s account so I hope you weren’t creeped out by thinking some dude was hitting on you! But, we have several items with “Come and take it”. It’s a Texas thing!
Basic 7 foods, oats salt flour potatoes pasta beans n rice. 3 more rice beans n tuns . Natures 3 acorns make flour dandelions greens for salads n cattails make a 4x4 ft hydroponic garden vegs on top n fish n tank. Put faucet on bottom of tank add a Y to it leave vacant 1 side n add garden hose to other side of Y add trickle hose to garden hose to irrigate garden. Use rain water to keep tank up. Plant 2 each dwarfs apples pears plums cherries grape bushes blueberries n blackberries.
great video i do exactly the same thing with my preps, i just noticed today that beans have gone up 50 percent in my stores use to be able to get a pound for a dollar now a dollar fifty and no giant bags of beans anywhere unfortunately.
That’s crazy. There is still some stuff that hasn’t gone sky high yet here but a lot has.
@@diypreppertv stay safe and keep prepping man we gotta keep our families safe cuz I still feel after everything that’s happened over the past few years people still don’t take this seriously unfortunately
It’s kinda sad. Things don’t seem to be getting better, but many still have their head in the sand hoping that things will get better. I try not to be an alarmist but I really don’t see that happening.
@@diypreppertv being honest isn’t being alarmist people, just like you said would rather be blind that stuff isn’t necessarily improving. We all want it to get better but it is what it is unfortunately.
Walmart has plenty of food,beans,rice ect
Skittles would be a great moral booster 😊
Good advice 👍
Thank you!
Thank you jr
You’re welcome Nick! Thanks for watching!
Good stuff JR i think something is gonna happen in the next few years. Weather thats a recession, depression or a all out drop im not sure but gotta be ready
Thanks man. I hope we aren’t on track to repeat what happened in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
Forgive me if you've already recommended this, but food-grade diatomaceous earth is beneficial for your stored foods before sealing in Mylar bags. About twice a month, I make up DIY MRE's. These are grab & go Mylar bags that only require water to be added. I have a 14-day rotation that differs for each and every day, so no food fatigue.
The way u said “i love tacos” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 bro I believe you!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have a heavy gauge carbon steel fry pan. I treat it the same as cast iron and it is a very robust piece of cookware. I think it would certainly survive what a cast iron pan couldn't..
Very ggod idea in many cases to have some foodstuff etc. for babies also.. even if you don’t have a baby or even a partner at the moment.. Blessings ❄️🙏🔥
Thanks for commenting!
Diapers are good to barter, as is any baby stuff. Wipes, cereal etc.
DEAD COW! LOL 😆 🤣 I don't know why that cracked me up so much.
Brown sugar: 1 cup sugar 1Tablespoon molasses. Store separately.
You got the baby food right on time
Hey friend, I don't know specifically the details of your son's aversion to eggs, but I will tell you that my wife gets sick when she eats store-bought eggs, but when she eats home grown eggs she's fine. I don't know what the specific mechanism is that makes the difference but they're definitely is a difference. She can eat the eggs our hands late just fine, but cat but she gets sick when she eats the ones we buy from the store. Just a thought in case you haven't tried it
Subbed and liked!
One thing I'm doing is getting bags of water softener salt that contains no added chemicals. Morton sells large bags of sea salt (40 or 45 lbs, I don't have one handy right now to tell for certain) for only $8.
It is in crystal (rock) form, and should work just fine in a salt grinder, or if you don't have one, a mortar and pestle should work perfectly to make it usable.
Sea salt is far superior to table salt because it contains trace minerals that are very beneficial, is lower in sodium, and on top of that, it works well for curing meat.
And at the price of $8 a bag at Ace Hardware, you can get a very long lasting supply for the price of only a few individual containers you will find at any grocery store.
Lastly, sea salt naturally contains iodine, which should at the very least reduce your need to supplement it with iodized salt. Just make sure that you are checking for the correct bags of salt, as many bags sold for water softeners contains additives designed for the system, and may not be good for you.
Thanks Ed! I learned something new!

What I miss is living near a refinery in Texas, where there was enormous hills of sulphur built up everywhere. Just a single 5 gallon bucket of that could make a LOT of antibiotics.
When I was at the Salt Flatts many years ago, I grabbed a canning jar of salt. It's still around somewhere, but I haven't seen it for a few years.
Yeah, I bought a big bag of sodium chloride and potassium chloride in case I need it.
Cast Iron... Also High Carbon Steel!
Lodge makes 3 different size fry pans.
Thanks! I hadn’t seen their carbon steel pans.
Don’t actually slap yo mama 😂😂 *subscribed*
Thank you Karen!
Great information as always. I think using the smaller Mylar bags is best. You are not going to want to open 5 gallons of beans at time unless you are feeding a very large army lol. Plus the small bags would be better for bartering.
I would also recommend at least putting salt and whatever kind of seasoning you like in each bucket. In the event that there’s no time to pack up and you just grab and go it will be easier. Maybe put some cast iron skittles in there as well lol
I tried putting a bag of salt and a bag of sugar in there but I ran out of space. Iron skittles are delicious though…lol
You said cast iron skittle. I'm so pleased and not at all being judgmental 😂
Yeah, I don’t even think I realized that I said it as I was filming. I didn’t catch it until editing. 🤦🏻♂️

Anyone have any suggestions on where to buy bulk dried beans for storage in buckets?
Costco, Sam's, asian markets in my area don't carry them. Neither do farmers markets.
Thanks in advance!
I found 5 lb bags at GFS. Not sure if you are near one but check local restaurant supply stores. Like the membership clubs but sometimes free.
One of the best things no one mentions are Hormel Compleats. Great way to get meat without needing refrigeration! Rice and beans are not everything
Thank you! Have you used a dehydrator to create your own dehydrated meals? I’m just wondering about the shelf life if they are placed in a Mylar bag?
I’m not sure how long it would last but it wouldn’t be as long as freeze drying it. I think there is still some moisture present even after using a home dehydrator. I’ll have to do a little more research into it.
@@diypreppertv Thank you for your response!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
If you put rice that is 3 months out from its expiry date into mylar bags will it still last as long as rice that had a 2yr expiry when put into mylar?
I have 8 5 gallon buckets of dry beans rice in soda bottle
You said Tony's correctly!
Great video. What s the thing on your hat below the five pointed star?

I have trouble getting the bags to fit into the bucket. Very hard to work the puzzle. Any tips?
I’m celiac and soy intolerant which is in every thing you can store without power like fridges and freezers so I have an off grid solar set up and getting a 12v freezer. It’s not cheep but at least I will be able to eat healthy for me.

How do you properly store the same? Thanks.
Tony “Sas-sher-Rees”. But you were close!!!
Can you put seeds in Mylar bags? Like germinating seeds?
Is vacuum sealing as good as mylar bag processing? Thx
QUESTION!🔥 Anybody have tips on storing dry beans?? When i put the bags from store in 5 gallon buckets, they get moldy. Will mylar prevent molding? Do i need to dehydrate them a bit before mylar??
JR, do you know the channel Homestead Engineering? Its a good one.
I haven’t seen that one. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks CM!
Sorry one more question 😔 😅 I also have a lot of fish raw do you know if I can dehydrate it and put in mylar or ball mason jars I'm sorry for the two long post but you seem to know your stuff without giving me a bunch of stuff I don't need lol 😀 ps if you could do a video on just different stuff to pressure can and vacuum seal bags mylar or plastic bags I'd watch

@@bobchevallier8456 my thoughts exactly I am trying to get a bead on it now
Two months ago we were expecting a possibly dangerous ice storm,I had Coviod and then I got pneumonia, but we were find, because I was [prepped; it doesn't have to be armageddon.
Most people ignore 'special needs'. I have laid in gluten-free grains not only for friends and family, but I have found myself eating them because they are healthier.
