Hoarding is going out during an emergency situation and buying up as much mass quantities as possible. Preparing is building up extra supplies overtime to avoid a hoarding situation. Preparing does not upset supply lines like hoarding does.
@bubba, yes thank you! I was a little surprised by the use of the word hoarding in the title. I don’t think we need to use extreme terms to garner views.
I've a stockpile of all the veggies seeds I like to eat. All are heirloom or open pollinated. This year I started growing only one kind of potato. I'll eat the big ones and save the small ones to plant next year. The kind I like best is German Butterball. A very tasty potato.
I was going to tell my neighbor lady to prepare. The I looked around her yard with chickens goats ducks .Bags of corn in her little store. The village Mexicans have always been prepared.
@@christopherkadishcreative7220 we started easing into prepping in 2010. The lying Myans talked us into it lol. But we never stopped. It has become a way of life. It is not hard, nor expensive. Food prices are much higher now than they were in 2010! And it turns out that the Myans were not lying after all.
We're on dissability and saw this coming so started collecting food from any church or food bank that would give and now have at least 3-4 months worth for my wife and I and constantly collecting more . We're blessed 🙏😇💓 love y'all .
We've planted many fruit trees, veg garden, chickens for eggs and going to get meat chickens soon. Stored dry beans , rice. Canned foods and bug out bags w prepping supply's , we been preparing for years for famines of some sort. Prayers for Gods mercy and protection ....God Bless America and her peoples
Look around people. Unprecedented things are happening in the world. This ship is sinking and Jesus is the life boat. He is the only way, the narrow way! Get in the boat by putting your trust in him today. And you will be eternally saved. However he did say we would have trouble in these end days. It is important to take care of our families the best we can and he will bring us through. May your faith be increased as you consider Jesus and his claims. God loves you, God bless you. ❤️
How can you bug out quickly with a ton of food, chickens, etc? Were old and bugging in is our first option. Of course if the house burns down, we'll be shit outta luck.
I started prepping about 10 years ago. I started by buying an extra of my regularly purchased items. Each trip I'd add one thing that was not necessarily in my list but was a comfort type of food.
Oats are even more valuable than wheat or rice. Rolled oats can be used as a grain with your meal, added to ground meats to stretch the volume, ground into flour for baking, soaked and blended into oat milk, and, of course, made into breakfast oatmeal! Bonus, they don't have gluten of their own, so if processed in a gluten-free facility, they're safe for family members with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
I store my foods in smaller containers, use them on regular bases, but replace it on regular bases, dated and make sure, to always use the “oldest” container. store extra Baking soda to be used instead of toothpaste. Dry mixed vegetables and store them in portions to make a big pot of soup. Cocoa powder is a must for me. I use it in sooo many ways and it keeps indefinitely…
I've collected ALL of your top 10. Cheese cloth, pariffin or beeswax, canning jars & Lids & seeds were also important to have to preserve food, make deodorant and the ability to keep producing more food after a year. We just have no idea how long our journey into the past may last into our future. I always say Prepping is AN INVESTMENT into yourself & all should do it. Folks have forgotten the history, luckily during the depression many had the knowledge to grow their own "GROCERY STORE" in their backyard. As we see today only 2% of the folks on the planet grow their own food. 2 out of 100 is not healthy. Be Safe Stay Well The Lord is with us.
Sandra: "...luckily in the depression..."?! According to the published history of Social Security, 30% of the population of the USA literally starved to death or perished from shortages of medical services! 50% of the siblings of my ancestors died during the Great Depression and two family homesteads were lost due to drought. NO amount of individual preparation is enough to get any normal family through 10 bad years. The ONLY thing that gets normal people through 10 bad years is group or government action. The highest rate of fatality in the USA during the Great Depression was among children. When Social Security was approved, it was just enough for elders to buy rice and beans to keep their descendents alive.
Gardening is my passion, literally! I've saved seeds in the past, now it's full on! Water, food, shelter and self defense! That's where I'm at. Nice to touch bases with others of like mind !
I throw away (in recycle) so many containers; I see how you reused yours and organized the grains. This is so helpful. I would add Olive oil, lots of dried herbs for spicing food. Also, powdered milk or canned milk is very useful . Dried fruits too. Thx so much!!
Totally different approach is perennial or at least bi annual vegetables, fruits, teas, and herbs interspersed in your landscape. Routinely harvest seeds, and scatter some of the seeds to grow naturally .For example I have lettuce sprouting at least 5 different places in my yard right now. And easily 30 swiss chard at least 8-10 inches high already as it grows through the harsh winter. Parsley growing like weeds from scattering seeds years ago. ( & I'm in Colorado) I can harvest them where they sprouted or wherever they came up too thick I just transplant the excess. I grow malabar spinach at my sliding glass door in my dining room on tomato cages all winter and spring. (Yes I have thick waterproofing under a 1' x1' by 2' planter box sold for raising tomatoes, found at an estate sale. And a several gallon ceramic pot)) Fresh greens all winter! Good in stir fries , in omelets and casseroles, in Chinese food, in ramen noodles and in salads. Try swiss chard, garlic, Egyptian walking onion, regular onion, scallions, chives, garlic chives, peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm, parsley, carrots, beets, comfrey(young leaves for tea, excellent animal feed, though I don't have any farm animals), rhubarb, fruit trees, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, grapes. Most all of these are on my about 70 by 110 ft lot. All mixed in with my flowers, plantain, feverfew, larkspur and dandelions., etc These supplement food storage of the basics.
Bulk items store tip: If your storing bulk items (powdered, grains, etc), Instead of storing them all in one 5 gallon Mylar bag, store them in smaller bags, so when you need them you only open one of the bags instead it all. presuming in long term WROL period you may not have the means to re-seal the bag after opening. Which opens the possibility of your stored item spoiling or getting contaminated before you consume it all. Plus if the container is breached you will lose the entire contents. If you store in smaller containers (Mylar bags) and one of them is damaged, you only lose the contents of that one smaller container. Vacuum packaging tip: If your vacuum packing in Mylar bags or Canning jars, You can further protect your stored items by applying a dry nitrogen flush before sealing. You can purchase compressed dry nitrogen from welding gas supply stores, and modify your vacuum sealer with a Tee in the plastic tubing to add nitrogen to the item your sealing. I typically pump out the air and then back fill with nitrogen 2 or 3 times, which will displace most of the oxygen & surface moisture in the container.
I just put up 50 lbs of Wheat Montana Prairie Gold 100% whole wheat flour non gmo all natural. I bought it from the Mennonites and they told me to put bay leaves across the top which I did. I stored it in 2, 5 gallon food grade buckets with sealed lids. I also did the same minus the bay leaves with 50 lbs of sugar. The sugar had an oder and apparently it was beet sugar and has the slightest pink hue to it. Next thing will be oats.Most important however is going to be working on collecting rain water. I live on a mountain top and have a deep well, I am vulnerable in this area and find it paramount to begin this as the most important step going forward. Thanks for posting these videos I am learning so much.
I am storing raw honey in glass from a local bee keeper. Also real maple syrup will last forever. I am storing beans and seeds gir sprouting. If things go bad, it is good to have fresh greens.
dont know about unopened real maple syrup, but once you open it, it doesn't last long at all...VERY short time if it doesn't have refrigeration, and not a heck of a lot longer if it does!
@@doriswhite1348 they contain beta carotene, but no vitA. Only animal has vitA. People are very poor converters of carotene so you really need to eat high vitA food such as organ meats, cod liver oil & eggs.
I'm negotiating now for bulk dried egg which is pricey in my neck of the woods. Milk powder is a must to store away and has a very long shelf life. I agree with you.
I have just had your channel pop up as a suggestion. I am so glad it did as I have enjoyed your video and subscribed. Your info was shared in a way that makes it useful to those just starting out and those of us who have prepped in different ways for some time. Thank you! Having grown up in a small State that spent weeks at a time with so much snow that no one could get in or out, often without running water or electricity, it was vital to be prepared for anything Mother Nature would hit us with. I don’t see it as hoarding, you are right it has awful connotation that word. For me, hoarding means you are grabbing everything so no one else can have any. For an emergency prep, this is not the case. We bulk buy, there are not many in our family, so extra gets canned, frozen, dehydrated, freeze dried, fermented, etc. We grow most of our own produce, and I can the majority. It was how I grew up. Hubby is a city boy and a foreigner, and had never canned or preserved for emergencies. He would tease me and say I was canning for the 5thousand. Although I am American, we live in Scotland. When covid hit and we were all in lockdown, food in the shops was pretty scarce to start until they began rationing it, limiting how much you could purchase of any given item. We live in a very small community (14 households) and we were able to help friends and neighbours wi thought really dipping into our real storage. Because we do not use single use plastic if we can avoid it, we buy our toilet paper by the case, individually wrapped in paper. When the tp hoarding began, we were once again safe and able to share when needed. Hubby, for the first time, realised just how important my prepping was. He has bought me a new pressure canner, cases upon cases of jars and lids, and a second dehydrator. And we have just got our freeze dryer up and running. He has had a scare and is going a little frantic but knowing what a hard time could be coming, I am not complaining at all. I would add herb seeds to the list of essentials. When eating beans and grains constantly, while a variety is great as they have different flavors, they can get old quickly, day in, day out for a year or more. Herb seeds take up such little space and yet provide such intense flavor when grown they are worth the effort. We have been members of a seed group that keeps the old fashioned seeds that are no longer viable for sellers but are ideal for growing and preserving. The seeds our ancestors used. We are caretakers trying to build up stock if the seeds for everyone in the group to have a decent amount to not only grow and use but to dry for future crops and generations. I was gifted 5 bean seeds that were more than 400 years old, as were 4 other members. It was amazing to think how long ago that bean plant has grown and produced those little beans. I did not think they would germinate but gave it a try. All 5 sprouted! They had not been kept in the best possible conditions, and those little miracle bean seeds grew. It has taken several years to have enough to try them fresh and to try them dried and then cooked up. I am now working on other experiments with growing them in less than ideal conditions, the kind we might find ourselves in unexpectedly. It has made me truly appreciate how important our seeds are and storing them properly for future use for emergencies. I look forward to watching the rest of your videos and learning new things. As Hubby is starting to see how vulnerable the food system can be in an emergency situation, I am trying to gather up info and make a Prep checklist for long term storage for when the shtf. I am sure your videos will be a comfort to him. Thank you again!
A few days ago I went to the cupboard for some beef bouillon, and I was out. I went down to my preps, and I was lucky to find a pantry can of beef bouillon that needs to be used by the end of next year. It's wonderful to have necessities stored. Many times I have relied on my preps for things like onions. celery, mushrooms, tomato powder, etc...
I have a very lovely soup that I make and eat almost every day as one of my meals. It is a barley lentil soup with a spice packet and lots of canned or frozen vegetables. The dehydrated veggies would be perfect for long term storage. I suggest you eat what you store on a regular basis so that if you need to live on food storage so your system doesn't have problems getting used to the new foods.
It is not hoarding when you are stocking up in times of plenty, just as God ordained Joseph to do in Egypt during the 7 years of plenty as a preparation for the 7 years of famine. We are to prepare during times of plenty so that our families are safe during times of trouble.
@@bobmar9239 Did I miss the part in the Bible, to not work hard, not be thrifty, not save for hard times? And the part to not help others who work, are thrifty and save when they can?
@@davej7458 Hear! Hear! You are spit on! I get a whopping $230 a Month Soc. Sec, plus whatever odd jobs I can eek out.I do not goout at all. I work my ARSE off, and have managed to put back a few Months worth of needed things. That is NOT hoarding!
@BruceForster: Thank you, thank you! I get people telling me all the time that they ''don't have enough money to stock a pantry''. These are usually the same people who have to have their cigarettes, lottery tickets, beer, and fast food. I tell them if you at least buy one thing to put away every time you go shopping once a week in a year you'd have 52 items in your pantry. But no, they don't want to do it. I've told people, ''Look I just helped you by telling you this. You should not show up at my door when the SHTF. It' won't go well. I just helped you out by telling you to start a pantry.
@@Inkdraft EXACTLY! I designed and produced a 90 minute talk with a powerpoint presentation titled "Preparedness on the cheap" where I show DOZENS of inexpensive ways to put back food and supplies-including care for animals- and ONE family out of the FORTY I've taught the thing to has acted at all-and THEY bought just ONE Bucket of Mtn. House Entree's and think they are all "Prepared".And no, they are NOT coming to MY house!
5:17 It's also worth noting that freeze dried food maintains significantly more nutrients than dehydrated food. For me, freeze dried is worth the difference in bulk.
I said this on another site, but if the grid goes down there will be many children roaming the streets because the foster homes don't want them anymore, elderly unable to pay for assisted living or other arrangements. People who can't pay for Section 8 or elderly apartments. Think of the weak and vulnerable of our society, who's going to take care of them? I hope it will be those of us who care no matter our religion. God bless you.
you want to know what homeless kids look like? Go to Rio de Janiero...those kids form rat packs and organize into criminal gangs. Ive heard, from locals there, that the cops have rounded up groups of these kids and simply executed them, as there is no care available..
This is what concerns me. I am alone and have some health issues. However I can certainly contribute to earn my keep. I would love to join a prepper group. Look around your neighborhood for elderly or single people to include in your groups. We can teach and entertain children. They still need to learn to read etc. We can see, cook etc. Many hidden resources that go untapped ! Just because one is 'old " doesn't mean we have nothing to offer. Please consider adding that lonely, older person to your group !
Powdered rose hips lasts long in Mylar and is considerably higher in vitamin C than citrus fruit. Also dried elderberries are a great source of vitamin C
The skin of dried organic lemons also has much more vitamin C than lemons and ground u can add into soups. Good immune boost for colds! I'm in Australia can I ask u what Mylar is?
David Harbuck Elderberries are also a great antiviral food. There is a recent study that shows elderberry blocks receptor sites from the flu virus. Use the juice, do NOT eat the seeds of elderberry.
Annette Sutton Mylar is a brand name for a thin foil-like material that is often used for food packaging. It is also what is used for the shiny helium balloons, emergency medical blankets, etc... .
One of the items on my list is a variety of oils and caustic soda to make soap with. Especially coconut oil, castor oil and olive oil is valuable for this. I can make anything from dish-washing soap to face purification bars and shampoo bars to general purpose household cleaner (safe and biodegradable b.t.w.). I also keep a good supply of jams and coffee beans because it can make your life more pleasant when you're under siege. I keep a huge variety of seeds, plant some of them yearly and when they become older, I plant some just to get fresh seed again. I have at least 20 different tomato variety seeds and 20 different pepper/chilli seed. If need be I'd like to grow at least enough fresh vegetables and fruit for my family to use. I stock up on tea, dried medicinal herbs and essential oils for their medicinal value too. Also blankets, toilet paper and pet food. Imagine how sad you'll be if you can't feed your cat (who are obligate carnivores and will not survive on rice and beans) if it can't find food to hunt? Keep several bags of cat kibble. Dogs will survive on human food, cats and birds won't.

Got to say your videos have helped me to get serious about prepping and food storage. At 55 years old I had never baked a thing in my life. I the last 3 months I've learned to bake bread(4 different recipes I now use) and even baked cookies. My wife says don't stop lol. We now go through more flour in a month than what we used to go through in a year.
I'm wondering about your expectations that there will be gas or electricity to bake with if we are talking about more than a month or two of disaster time. A propane camping stove or grill can last a while for heating and boiling. We are talking about very tough times. Water, medications, some sustenance is the first steps. I know most here are much more serious preppers, so you probably have it down to guns and ammo.
My old wood-fired kitchen range has a great oven. It just needs you to turn your baked goods halfway through the cooking time. It has baked thousands of loaves of bread
Steve: And now in your mature years, you have for some odd reason set out to make you and your wife diabetic from flour metabolizing into sugar spikes to kill off your formerly healthy pancreatic beta cells! Why would you want to do such a thing? The first 14 years of my life I was raised on delicious, home baked, yeast bread and homemade, glazed, yeast donuts, and home baked cakes. It has taken a DECADE to wean myself off that childhood flour addiction. Simply no longer eating flour products of any kind and substituting fresh salads for fiber has enabled me to go off metformin and lose 2 sizes in clothing. I had a neighbor who went 3 time a week to dialysis. I decided giving up flour was worth the effort to avoid dialysis later in life. Research diabetes. Then evaluate whether you really want to kill your pancreatic beta cells.
One of my storage items is a .22 rifle with a scope and lots of ammunition. Thousands of rounds of .22 ammunition don’t take up a lot of space. The small caliber works well on small game. If a person shot a large animal such as a deer the lack of refrigeration could be a problem. So my thinking is that a small caliber rifle might be more beneficial in a survival situation.
excellent ideas Gordon, air rifles are very effective on small game, ammo cheap and quieter, get some bird seed spread around and wait for doves and pigeons, they will come for it!
INHO a .22 is the best caliber to have. I also have a .22 rifle and two .22 cal pistols. I can kill anything from a squirrel to a human. I agree about not taking up much space. I also don't want to stockpile multiple weapons of different caliber.
Making jerky isn't difficult. There's no reason not to kill a deer. Not to mention, if you're in a societal collapse or major depression where the grid is down, who cares if a little of the meat goes to waste? You still get a lot of very healthy meat. It's not exactly a time to go Mr. Ethical and let you family go without proper nutrition because you don't want to waste an extra few pounds of meat.
I’d have to suggest herbs too, both for medicinal and culinary purposes. Also vacuum pack any long term meds you may need. Learn to grow plants that will amply substitute for every day things - like mullein leaves for toilet paper. Store a few reams of paper and pencils until you learn how to make your own charcoal. You can’t make either of these easily. Store plentiful yarn and cotton thread for mending and sewing. You can’t make these easily either. Get some citrus trees in pots. They can move with you. You’ll learn about looking after plants. And you won’t get ‘scurvy’ when others do! Also great for medicinal and flavouring purposes.
Wow, looks like you made this JUST BEFORE the shit really did hit the fan! Bet you've gotten a ton more subscribers in the past couple of months!!! Thanks for all your tips.
sugar does not need to be stored in mylar and should not be stored with oxygen absorbers. in colonial times, sugar came in a hard loaf and you grated off what you needed.
I store mine in a Mylar bag (no oxygen absorbers!) inside a 5 gallon bucket. Just makes it easier and neater for me since i buy it in bulk...and that's my daily use supply lol (I bake a LOT!). The same would go for my long term...just extra protection against any moisture.
One caveat to your excellent suggestion, buy spices in their whole form. By that I mean, don't buy powdered nutmeg, buy whole nutmeg seeds and grind them up as you need it. Same thing for cinnamon. Buy cinnamon sticks instead of cinnamon powder. Same can be done for cumin, coffee beans, etc. Good luck to all!
Water Grains(whole) White rice Corn Beans Potato flakes Dried onions, celery, carrots White sugar Honey Salt Baking soda Vinegar Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) A manual grain mill for processing grains
Yes, all foods here are fine except I don’t know of ‘eikhorn’ (?) because I’ve never even heard of it! Good tips on storage of your list however Very limited list for any serious Prepper. I started prepping. About 2.5 years ago. First stuff on my list? RX meds, contact lenses, personal hygiene items, bucket toilets, water systems and OTC pain meds...because you don’t want to get sick, right? Anyway...just some hopefully constructive criticism. PS biggest, BEST. Prepper item? A nice big, soft, warm partner/ wife who likes you AND who knows how to start a fire AND cook! 🤣🤣🤣👍👍
We are not far from our long term prepps, but we have somewhat compensated the shortages with vitamins/minerals, which are needed for the girls and boys in our family. By no means is that a substitute for the prepps, merely a survival resource if we need to ration more than expected. TY for all your videos and your book, huge advantage to be able to rely on your sharing of info through the years of prepping. Stay safe, God bless.
Shirley, foods that contain oil (like peanut butter) will go rancid and spoil. Crackers and Oreos etc will go stale. Check out each item before you stock up on it to learn if it will really last long term so you don't waste your money. There is a ton of info to be found here on UA-cam.
Great video, Thank you for making it. I love the idea of having own non electric mill. I will definitely consider this, and start searching. Today, I will start my ever first food stack shopping (my car is warming up while I am typing this LOL). It is somewhat overwhelming to me, as by nature I am not rack pack in any means, any household items -wise, incl. food and clothes. So I decided to do it in a very small steps., and created a list for everyday small hauls. For instance, today I am buying only jarred meats from local Polish store, some jarred vegetables they also have, and start on stacking drinking water. Drinking water I will be buying every time I shop, a 24 pack each time. I also want to make one-time haul of 24 x 1 gallon jags, when my son is available to help me. On Monday, I will do only canned fish (plus drinking water). Nothing on Tuesday, but On Wednesday I am taking advantage of going to Costco with a friend who is a member. I made a list, and will be concentrate on canned foods: soups, beans, veggies, fruit, oils, TP, paper towels, sugar, tea and coffee, rice, sugar, salt and spices. I will need some time to recuperate from that trip, and organize my stuff, possibly make a trip to Menards to get an additional shelving. The following Monday I will continue with hygiene items, soaps, shampoos, lotions, baking soda, vinegar, Oxygen Peroxide, vitamins, ointments, band aids, and also vitamins and basic meds and supplements like protein powder. And so on. Somewhere along my list is a plan of going to a local shoe store, to get 100% wool socks they carry, and UGG resin lined with ship skin boots. The list is much longer, thank for watching videos like this one, and few others. Happy new year dear everyone. Stay safe, healthy and happy.
We have a freeze dryer and the freeze dried products celery tomatoes whatever that I'm using in rotation we keep in a jars that we've spray painted to keep the light out to help preserve it
Salt is always used for tanning hides. 😊. I am planting stevia this year as an alternative to sugar that can be produced self sufficiently. I still keep sugar on hand because I prefer it but I thought a plan B may make sense. Also you can get vitamin C by making tea from pine needles. I loved this video! So informative! Very interesting seeing the foods that where stored long ago! Great addition to your video!!! I was just vacuum sealing some lentils, beans, peas, and pasta before I sat down for lunch and watched your video 👍🏻 thanks for having lunch with me!
It depends on the animal. A beaver or raccoon about a pound- pound and a half at most. A deer is substantially more. You have to salt the hides directly 2x's and than soak the hide over night in a salt brine (for all animals) A deer would take about 4-5 lbs. you can reduce this a bit by doing multiple hides at a time and utilize the brined more than once. We use corse softener salt for the brined but regular fine grain table salt for the salting. You must use non-iodized for the process especially if you want the hair on or you risk hair slippage.
For the most desperate of crises, I would recommend foods which do not require cooking. Even if one has the equipment, fuel, ventilation, and time to cook, the odor of cooking food will eventually attract starving, armed, dangerous visitors who will stop at nothing to get something to eat.
@ Many starving people who come to take what is yours will be, too. The best armed marauders will live the longest during a crisis and most likely travel in packs. You may be well armed but how many people will you be able to fend off at one time? The best defense is for no one to know where you are.
@@biggils8894 The point is that if you did that you would leave family and friends who need your help. The point is that whatever crisis was going on could subside and things could get better. The point is that if you kill yourself you could stand face to face with God and He might not be too pleased that you destroyed the precious life He gave you. The point is that to struggle to survive and to make preparations for survival are noble acts, but suicide out of fear in the face of any crisis is not. There are no books or movies about people who killed themselves when things got tough; there are only ones about those who faced adversity with courage, determination, and ingenuity. God does not make junk; when He made you He made you with gifts, talents, and abilities. He also placed people in your life who need you. Suicide is never the right choice; planning for and enduring difficult times is.
@@celticrose2 Thank you. The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn His face toward you and give you peace. As I put His Name on you and your loved ones, may He Himself bless you.
Very good list. I have most of these things but I need more. I would like to boost my 3 month supply to a year as soon as possible. Things are getting weird out there.
outbackeddie Yes-I also appreciate the quantities. Even though every household is different, having that talked about here has made me aware of the need to give careful consideration to how much of an item I need
Yeah I belong to the LDS church and I'll profit has been telling us for years to put up at least 1 year supply of food water accessories such as toilet paper toothpaste toothbrushes washing powders dish detergent things like that plus food and water storage and you need to get a bottle that filters out dirty water I can take my cup that I got from the LDS church deep down in the Catawba River where it's muddy bring it back up and it will be Crystal Clear their $15 and some change if you want to get one go on lds.org food supply and you might be able to find it there otherwise email me back and I will find an address where you can get them and they also have filters to our water is going to be contaminated also we are reaching the second coming and it's coming fast
@@MariaMartinez-researcher Trust me my sister it is coming to an end. Repent now and be ready prepared to meet the Lord. Stock up on as much food as you can. Starving to death is the worst death that one can suffer. The Lord says in the Bible. Do you therefore prepared and you shall not be afraid? We have to be ready spiritually. Or we won't make it.
@@donnahernandez6651 Well yes kinda. It's not coming to an end, unfortunately for Maria, but likely an extinction level event where you will have to fight to survive. I liken it to, stopping to put my tennis shoes on so I can outrun the other guy, so that the bear eats him.
On the subject of salt, I like to keep pure salts (last forever), as well as iodized table salt...the iodized supplies critical iodine, but only has (as I recall) a 3-5 year shelf life. Store it, then 5 years later pull it out and use it, or donate to a food bank and resupply. You also didn't mention spices...eating for a year with only salt would be...boring. All manner of spices should be stored in a bucket in original containers, and are good for at least 5 years...rotate them out or donate to a food bank and resupply when they expire. Maple Syrup, Soy Sauce also on my list...they pretty much last forever as well. I also like to layer my food types. Buckets for LONG term, dehydrated meals (1-2 months worth) for short term, and MREs (1 month's worth) for immediate use or for use while moving...no cooking required. Great vid, on my saved list for a reference. Thanks!
NEW SUBSCRIBER ! Great video ! The Coronavirus panic has resulted in many folks storing food, but with LITTLE knowledge of "how". Most are content to buy canned foods, loaded with preservatives, and plenty of salt. We've been storing RICE & BEANS of various kinds, which we rotate to make a variety of Spanish dishes called "picadillo", adding ground beef for extra protein. You can also use ground chicken, turkey, ham, or other proteins as substitutes. DON'T FORGET to store SPICES - otherwise your preps will be very BLAND !
I didn't think to store ascobic acid o r vinegar. I will correct that. A person could collect rose hips. I stored 500 lbs.each of salt and sugar for barter. (cane sugar to avoid GMO modification) I also stored 150 lbs. of whole powdered milk. I have a Berkery water filter for my water needs with extra filters. That was a bit spendy for me but I felt it was personally worth it
Some great ideas on this list. Just to add to the conversation: If you live near the coast, you probably don't need to hoard salt. Sea Salt is very easy to make. I make, and use it all the time.
I dehydrate all veggies and some fruits...it's amazing how much you can fit in a quart Mason jar ....I've been counting the last couple months...I can fit 2 heads of cabbage in a one quart jar,3o med carrots,8 sweet potatoes...plus it does not weigh much if you have to get it to a bug out spot in buckets or tubs like the canned foods I have for everyday use.you don't even need a dehydrater..if it's full I dry on my wood stove and in the summer dry it in nets outside
Corn like that is a great idea. BTW for those wondering how to get bulk Corn. Feed stores whole dent corn in 50lbs bags or much larger bulk. Some feed stores sell by the ton if you have the container. Potatoes. I boil my potatoes. Then slice them and then hydrated them. And store like this. When using grind with a flour mill. They loose flavor just like store bought mash potatoes. But last forever. Note they can be uses a shot with how hard they are. Lol. And yes you can soak them sliced and cook also. But they work as a flour also.
Thanks for the tips this will help with me going off grid living and I will look up your website and I found this helpful with information regarding food supply
Most excellent. Just found you guys today. I guess I'm doing something right and asking the right questions being it brought me to your site. Thank you and God Bless.
If you can find un-hydrogenated lard I'd suggest picking up some small containers. As long as you don't open them they'll last forever. Also, tabasco sauce and Worcestershire sauce; buy a few extras and keep them in rotation.
We have 7 children so we have tons of oatmeal, beans, some rice, and canned meats/ fruits/ veges. I recently bought freeze dried onions, peppers, and cheese powder to go with our pastas in an emergency. We keep at least 2 or 3 months of butter and cheese on hand at all times...but should defi itely add butter powder to our stock up. I made a list of 10 shelf stable meals and have worked on having 3 to 6 months worth of those meals plus breakfast items and condiments. Spaghetti/Lasagna, Chili, Tuna casserole, Vegetable soups, Alfredo fettuccini, Pancakes, and such. I also keep 10 meals in my freezer that are meat based and special...like one would prepare for a new baby type of thing. This week I am stocking up canned soups for winter...I do this every winter.
@@TheProvidentPrepper thank you...it is all by Gods blessing for sure. I hope to have a solid year supply of foods we normally eat soon...and by December a 2 or 3 year supply of long-term basics. I have focused more heavily on things like socks, underwear, and clothing for the kids next few sizes this year, as well as books and homeschooling needs for the next few years. This month we are putting back a year supply of hygiene needs and stuff for medicines and booboos😉. Last month I put back a year supply of soaps for laundry and kitchen and baby care needs. Every month this year I have had a major focus on putting back needs for the next year or more for the kiddos. I really need to get more bathroom towels soon as well and waterproof mattress pads for the littles beds. I appreciate your videos...they are inspiring. If they send out a stimulus before all crap really hits the fan we will use it wisely to set our home to be a blessing. I would love to be able to get a Berkey and Country Grain meal.
You guys crack me up! FYI instead of storing brown sugar, I purchased 2 gallons of molasses so I can make my own with my church sugar. I thought a bucket of Redmond salt would easily last a year for a family of five. Not so! Getting more today. I despise the traditional table salt with aluminum so I really need to stock up in this category. Finally, I don't buy hot chocolate mix anymore. I use 2 tsp Hershey powder and 2 tsp church sugar in hot water or milk. Sometimes I'll double the milk powder to increase protein & add 1 TBSP of coconut oil for calories & fat. Almost like drinking a meal and sooooo delicious if you can whip it in a blender. Much love to you! 🙏🕊️❤️🐿️
When it comes to being prepared for emergencies I've done pretty well. I've always thought, however, that the apocalyptic mindset of a lot of preppers was quite over-the-top and melodramatic. During the current COVID crisis, though, the mindset doesn't sound as crazy to me as it used to.
HappyDays From Lil Giant Yes, Heavenly Father seems to be encouraging even those who do not acknowledge Him to store and prepare, even through the not do righteous and the Coronavirus. Long-term unemployment, freezing ice-storms and long periods without electricity also have influenced some to keep st least two weeks. I recently saw a video that said February of 2020 would see a broken piece of comet pass the earth which might cause freezing temperatures for as much as several years. Also said another piece would pass in four years that could cause the same thing or even impact the earth and cause freezing temperature for a decade. That would surely affect our sunlight and ability to grow food. Preparedness is never wasted. Even if those disastrous comets do not cause problems-the magnitude of our preparedness COULD help us to save others. Glad you see the wisdom in a little bit more. 👍
Reading glasses in different strengths and a repair kit, extra gaskets for canners, cast iron cookware for cooking over a fire. Start a medicinal herb garden and get a carpet sweeper that requires no electricity such as Bissell.
Better still.... get rid of the carpet.😂😂. Seriously, I actually did get rid of the carpet in my entire house. A dust mop cleans it and I wet mop it once a week.
I don’t have a “top ten” list, but I would add chocolate, (and other candies), alcohol, pasta, condiments (especially the powdered versions of sauces (fajita mixes, taco seasoning, etc). I find jasmine rice tastes 100X better than regular long grain white rice, although I have both. One last thing, is heirloom seeds for planting. You may not be a gardener, but if the need arises, you want to be prepared. Thanks for this fantastic video! 🇺🇸✌🏻
Don't waste room stocking water !!!!! Make a rain collection system with a rock sand and activated charcoal filter for drinking and cooking Or buy water clor tabs to clean water for drinking and cooking. Trying to store all that water you will take way too much valuable storage room leaving less space to store food that would benefit more. Also get lighters and choclate, coffee, things to barter with others. And don't brag about your stuff!!!
@@bigfoothunter9968 "Don't waste room stocking water !!!!! Make a rain collection system with a rock sand and activated charcoal filter for drinking and cooking" yes not having a water source, but I would recommend relying on rain water as it can be contaminated. Presumably after a period of WROL, arson and makeshift stoves will set urban regions ablaze with no fire dept. to put out the fires. They will spread until they run out of fuel which might takes months or years. Urban regions are full of hydrocarbons, & toxins that will go high into the atmosphere and come down in rain fall. I recall a trip on 9-11-2001 about 50 miles away from NYC, I could smell the stench of burning plastic and see a plume of black smoke. That was from two buildings in NYC. It took firefighters about a month to put out the fire from those buildings. Active Charcoal (real active Charcoal) is pretty expensive, and won't last very long. Ordinary homemade Charcoal could be used as long as you have a sources of natural (untreated wood). However The best option is to have a well & a means to draw water from it, with grid power. A deep well will naturally filter any surface water contaminates.
My husband has thin skin and is on a blood thinner for his heart. When he gets a cut or scratch, he bleeds and often on his socks or shirtsleeve or jeans. I keep a spray bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide handy in my laundry room and spray the blood stains with it. The chemical reaction causes quite a bit of heat! It bubbles and a foams as it breaks down the proteins in the blood. After the reaction stops, I rinse it and spray again. More reaction. Maybe 4 or 5 times before the blood has dissipated but it does take it all out. I used it with baking soda and water on a carpet stain left by our dog. Works on vomit stains and poopy stains! My go-to cleaner for all those kinds of stains. I’m 81 years old and have tried all the carpet cleaners that have been available over the years and peroxide has worked the best for me. Be SURE to test for color fastness before applying!!
Thank you for this wonderful list. My list includes nutrient dense, organic lentils - black, green and red. Black lentils, soaked overnight & sprouted are eaten raw. Green lentils can be sprouted or boiled with onion & salt. Make a flat bread by soaking 1/2 cup red lentils in 11/3 cups water for 2 hours, pour into mortar and grind into a batter. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon oil. Spoon onto a hot griddle or iron skillet for pancake sized flat breads or 2 medium sized pizza crusts. (This bread is tasty, holds together & is gluten free.)
In the spirit of, "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, but teach a man how to fish and he eats for a lifetime," I would suggest that you acquire seeds and gardening supplies, including fertilizer, in order to grow your own food. And, of course, be sure to have fishing supplies. Then, make sure you have enough stored food to keep you and your family fed until you can establish your garden and start farming animals. Aquaponics is also a good method to use, as it provides you with both fish and fertilizer for growing plants.
If you have farm animals you have fertilizer. Of course, I’d have some bags of greensand for micronutrients, lime if you have acid soil, and whatever else you can’t produce on your land. Poultry are best rotated in predator-secure movable pens on grass, but if you have no suitable land, do you have a good garage? We raised 25 meat chickens that way once, in 8 weeks & nobody knew. Except the butcher. I cleaned the pen out every day or 2 because I didn’t like the smell. Great compost material. Now we let them fertilize the ground for us with 6X10’ movable shelters (John Soscovich-style). We’re older now & like to stand up in them.)
No one needs to teach a man to fish it's common sense if he's seriously that ignorant helping him would be futile hence give a man a fish is the lamest saying ever
If you live near a saltwater coast, crab traps should be included in those fishing supplies. Lots of crab traps. Fisheries are going to be overwhelmed very quickly and normally abundant fishing areas will be fished out quickly. Crabs, on the other hand, much fewer people will go for. So on the days when fish are few and far between, you'll at least have crab meat.
Large quantities of ascorbic acid are also very good as a chelating agent in the event of radioactive exposure or ingestion of radioactive nucleides. In a study done of children who had been in the contamination zone around Chernobyl in 1986 when the reactor exploded and they were exposed to large doses of radioactive particles they were given 2 tbsps of ascorbic acid in a large glass of orange juice twice a day for three months. At the end of the study, their exposure levels had dropped 66%. .
Drop an egg size piece of dry ice into a 5 gallon bucket of grain {rice,corn or beans] and the co2 will drive out the o2 because co2 is heavier and will displace the o2. After the dry ice is gone, seal up the tiny vent hole.
And it's a good idea to exchange your food supply. For example if you need salt, or beans or whatever else for your everyday cooking get it from the storage and buy same new item to put it back into storage. That way you will not have to eat 25 years old food, it will be fairly fresh.
Just be careful since white rice is a pure starch will convert to sugar when digested. Dietebes can be a problem if you consume a lot of rice. beans and oats would be a better option in my opinion. Rice would be a good barter option or providing some food for people that come begging.
The Country Living Grain Mill.......THE BEST!!! We've known Jack for 35 years and have owned our mill that long! He designed this mill himself. Great guy, great mill and great service!!!!!!
Brilliant idea to store the grains in the used PET bottles! It's great that you can see the contents and write on the bottles. One thing that I worry about is rodents getting into my food stores if they are in mylar or vacuum bags. Good idea (simple but I don't know if I would have thought of it) to put it in a cardboard box to keep them out of the light. Where did you source your PET bottles from?
Card board smell draws mice. When you find a good replacement. I thought about totes with duct tape around the lid to seal them up because you could watch the tape and see if it is damaged by mice etc.
peanut butter / dried fruit / nuts/ beans / rice/ oatmeal / cornmeal its a good idea to start storing food as i hear a shortage is coming as food prices rise to unafordable prices....
I suggest not eating too well on your hoard pile after "the world ends." If you look really healthy compared to everyone around you, they'll know you have a stash and try to raid it.
During WW-ll, Stalingrad, a guy was going home and saw a man with rosey cheeks. Everything was grey, the sky, bombed out buildings, people, snow. He secretly followed him and saw him duck into an abondoned bombed out building. He waited a few minutes and then slipped in, following voices up to the second floor. There were two men slicing meat off a hanging body. He slipped out and ran home. If they had seen him ...
From what cannibals say, human meat supposedly tastes like chicken. At molecular level, meat is meat whether it's human or animal. Unfortunately civilization is only skin deep and episodes like Donner's party cannibalismm shows that when SHTF, people have to resort to whatever they can to surivive.
Thank you for this, thank you for giving the amounts per person. We have pretty much everything except we will be ordering more salts, sugar and ascorbic acid. Also adding more dried potatoes
Gotta love the LDS Church for having their parishoners grow gardens, fruit trees, keep chickens, can, dehydrate and always insure a filled pantry, either in their home basement or in a shed on their property. Seeing The Provident Prepper here with that same awareness of always staying on top and being safe. :)
@@patches1483 ah,....ya don't say? bulk shipping is only $3, but is it only for the lower 48, Alaska and Hawaii? Anyways it would be interesting to check out their website. Thank you for sharing this info' Laura. :)
@@MariaMartinez-researcher Only polygamous LDS in nw Arizona, but the rest, including the Mexican and Canadian are in sync with the Church and yeah, I know a lot of families back home in Utah that prepped.
I agree with most of your vision. But I would look for alternative means to PRODUCE what we could need, like ascorbic acid. I lived through the worst years of the Venezuelan collapse. I had supplies, but not enough for anything like what happened. Hoarding is not going to take you much further. You need to PRODUCE in a SUSTAINABLE WAY if you want to make it. I´m now expatriated in a foreign country, broke and having a harsh time.
Wish you had mentioned where one could purchase a hand grist mill, and approximate cost. Expensive items that most can’t afford are a great thing for those who can, to let someone in their community use or barter food/goods/services for the mill owner to grind for them. Another thing I would like to know is just laying a few bay leafs in the bottom of the bucket enough to keep pests/larvae from hatching or does something else have to be done? I’m pretty new to this, and I have some foods, but my area of expertise is medical knowledge and I am well stocked is first aid supplies, just a for instance. But great video! Ty!

****The least expensive, quality, long-term basic food storage can be purchased at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Home Storage Centers. They have just a few basics but the prices are less expensive than anywhere else. You do not need to be a member to purchase food storage. To find one near you go to: providentliving.churchofjesuschrist.org/food-storage/home-storage-center-locations-map?lang=eng
Once you have the basics we recommend purchasing from Augason Farms at www.augasonfarms.com/?avad=243073_f1900a3b5. They have a wide variety of foods packaged for long-term storage.

Where can I find #10 cans for storage. I looked on amazon and it showed food already canned, not just the cans only.
Growing up in the mountains, we stored part of our crops every year. We never had any money ,but we never starved either.
Hoarding is going out during an emergency situation and buying up as much mass quantities as possible.
Preparing is building up extra supplies overtime to avoid a hoarding situation. Preparing does not upset supply lines like hoarding does.
This!
@bubba, yes thank you! I was a little surprised by the use of the word hoarding in the title. I don’t think we need to use extreme terms to garner views.
When a private citizen does it, it is called hoarding. When the government does it, it's called stockpiling.😉

@@TheProvidentPrepper Thank you for all your doing to help us!
How can you bug out quickly with a ton of food, chickens, etc? Were old and bugging in is our first option. Of course if the house burns down, we'll be shit outta luck.
Suggest keeping meat rabbits as well
If you have chickens you'll need to have a plan to feed them. Pioneer folks bought bags of scratch for their chickens.
I started prepping about 10 years ago. I started by buying an extra of my regularly purchased items. Each trip I'd add one thing that was not necessarily in my list but was a comfort type of food.
Oats are even more valuable than wheat or rice. Rolled oats can be used as a grain with your meal, added to ground meats to stretch the volume, ground into flour for baking, soaked and blended into oat milk, and, of course, made into breakfast oatmeal! Bonus, they don't have gluten of their own, so if processed in a gluten-free facility, they're safe for family members with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
I store my foods in smaller containers, use them on regular bases, but replace it on regular bases, dated and make sure, to always use the “oldest” container. store extra Baking soda to be used instead of toothpaste. Dry mixed vegetables and store them in portions to make a big pot of soup. Cocoa powder is a must for me. I use it in sooo many ways and it keeps indefinitely…
I've collected ALL of your top 10. Cheese cloth, pariffin or beeswax, canning jars & Lids & seeds were also important to have to preserve food, make deodorant and the ability to keep producing more food after a year. We just have no idea how long our journey into the past may last into our future. I always say Prepping is AN INVESTMENT into yourself & all should do it. Folks have forgotten the history, luckily during the depression many had the knowledge to grow their own "GROCERY STORE" in their backyard. As we see today only 2% of the folks on the planet grow their own food. 2 out of 100 is not healthy. Be Safe Stay Well The Lord is with us.
Sandra: "...luckily in the depression..."?!
According to the published history of Social Security, 30% of the population of the USA literally starved to death or perished from shortages of medical services!
50% of the siblings of my ancestors died during the Great Depression and two family homesteads were lost due to drought. NO amount of individual preparation is enough to get any normal family through 10 bad years.
The ONLY thing that gets normal people through 10 bad years is group or government action.
The highest rate of fatality in the USA during the Great Depression was among children.
When Social Security was approved, it was just enough for elders to buy rice and beans to keep their descendents alive.
Gardening is my passion, literally! I've saved seeds in the past, now it's full on! Water, food, shelter and self defense! That's where I'm at. Nice to touch bases with others of like mind !
I throw away (in recycle) so many containers; I see how you reused yours and organized the grains. This is so helpful. I would add Olive oil, lots of dried herbs for spicing food. Also, powdered milk or canned milk is very useful . Dried fruits too. Thx so much!!
@kimberlee, oils cannot be stored long term. They will go rancid rather quickly. Look into making ghee
Totally different approach is perennial or at least bi annual vegetables, fruits, teas, and herbs interspersed in your landscape. Routinely harvest seeds, and scatter some of the seeds to grow naturally .For example I have lettuce sprouting at least 5 different places in my yard right now. And easily 30 swiss chard at least 8-10 inches high already as it grows through the harsh winter. Parsley growing like weeds from scattering seeds years ago. ( & I'm in Colorado) I can harvest them where they sprouted or wherever they came up too thick I just transplant the excess. I grow malabar spinach at my sliding glass door in my dining room on tomato cages all winter and spring. (Yes I have thick waterproofing under a 1' x1' by 2' planter box sold for raising tomatoes, found at an estate sale. And a several gallon ceramic pot)) Fresh greens all winter! Good in stir fries , in omelets and casseroles, in Chinese food, in ramen noodles and in salads. Try swiss chard, garlic, Egyptian walking onion, regular onion, scallions, chives, garlic chives, peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm, parsley, carrots, beets, comfrey(young leaves for tea, excellent animal feed, though I don't have any farm animals), rhubarb, fruit trees, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, grapes. Most all of these are on my about 70 by 110 ft lot. All mixed in with my flowers, plantain, feverfew, larkspur and dandelions., etc These supplement food storage of the basics.
Bulk items store tip: If your storing bulk items (powdered, grains, etc), Instead of storing them all in one 5 gallon Mylar bag, store them in smaller bags, so when you need them you only open one of the bags instead it all. presuming in long term WROL period you may not have the means to re-seal the bag after opening. Which opens the possibility of your stored item spoiling or getting contaminated before you consume it all. Plus if the container is breached you will lose the entire contents. If you store in smaller containers (Mylar bags) and one of them is damaged, you only lose the contents of that one smaller container.
Vacuum packaging tip: If your vacuum packing in Mylar bags or Canning jars, You can further protect your stored items by applying a dry nitrogen flush before sealing. You can purchase compressed dry nitrogen from welding gas supply stores, and modify your vacuum sealer with a Tee in the plastic tubing to add nitrogen to the item your sealing. I typically pump out the air and then back fill with nitrogen 2 or 3 times, which will displace most of the oxygen & surface moisture in the container.
Tip: keep your stores secret. "Having things can make you a victim. Having knowledge can make you an asset".
Agreed!!
Thousands of dollars for free with no hard work. You’re absolutely right.
Well said! Your "best friends" can become not so safe when they need what you have and they want it! Only tell who you plan to actually share with!

@@TheNotsoignorant "Judees" gluten free company has bags of reasonbly priced powdered eggs.
@@jewels4028 I live in Africa where there is no Judees. It's scarce and rare here, mostly used only in the bulk catering business.
Cornstarch will keep indefinitely as well and is a great thickening agent for many dishes and gravy.
I have just had your channel pop up as a suggestion. I am so glad it did as I have enjoyed your video and subscribed. Your info was shared in a way that makes it useful to those just starting out and those of us who have prepped in different ways for some time. Thank you!
Having grown up in a small State that spent weeks at a time with so much snow that no one could get in or out, often without running water or electricity, it was vital to be prepared for anything Mother Nature would hit us with. I don’t see it as hoarding, you are right it has awful connotation that word. For me, hoarding means you are grabbing everything so no one else can have any. For an emergency prep, this is not the case. We bulk buy, there are not many in our family, so extra gets canned, frozen, dehydrated, freeze dried, fermented, etc. We grow most of our own produce, and I can the majority. It was how I grew up. Hubby is a city boy and a foreigner, and had never canned or preserved for emergencies. He would tease me and say I was canning for the 5thousand. Although I am American, we live in Scotland. When covid hit and we were all in lockdown, food in the shops was pretty scarce to start until they began rationing it, limiting how much you could purchase of any given item. We live in a very small community (14 households) and we were able to help friends and neighbours wi thought really dipping into our real storage. Because we do not use single use plastic if we can avoid it, we buy our toilet paper by the case, individually wrapped in paper. When the tp hoarding began, we were once again safe and able to share when needed. Hubby, for the first time, realised just how important my prepping was. He has bought me a new pressure canner, cases upon cases of jars and lids, and a second dehydrator. And we have just got our freeze dryer up and running. He has had a scare and is going a little frantic but knowing what a hard time could be coming, I am not complaining at all.
I would add herb seeds to the list of essentials. When eating beans and grains constantly, while a variety is great as they have different flavors, they can get old quickly, day in, day out for a year or more. Herb seeds take up such little space and yet provide such intense flavor when grown they are worth the effort. We have been members of a seed group that keeps the old fashioned seeds that are no longer viable for sellers but are ideal for growing and preserving. The seeds our ancestors used. We are caretakers trying to build up stock if the seeds for everyone in the group to have a decent amount to not only grow and use but to dry for future crops and generations. I was gifted 5 bean seeds that were more than 400 years old, as were 4 other members. It was amazing to think how long ago that bean plant has grown and produced those little beans. I did not think they would germinate but gave it a try. All 5 sprouted! They had not been kept in the best possible conditions, and those little miracle bean seeds grew. It has taken several years to have enough to try them fresh and to try them dried and then cooked up. I am now working on other experiments with growing them in less than ideal conditions, the kind we might find ourselves in unexpectedly. It has made me truly appreciate how important our seeds are and storing them properly for future use for emergencies.
I look forward to watching the rest of your videos and learning new things. As Hubby is starting to see how vulnerable the food system can be in an emergency situation, I am trying to gather up info and make a Prep checklist for long term storage for when the shtf. I am sure your videos will be a comfort to him. Thank you again!
A few days ago I went to the cupboard for some beef bouillon, and I was out. I went down to my preps, and I was lucky to find a pantry can of beef bouillon that needs to be used by the end of next year. It's wonderful to have necessities stored. Many times I have relied on my preps for things like onions. celery, mushrooms, tomato powder, etc...
Patricia Ribaric as
I have a very lovely soup that I make and eat almost every day as one of my meals. It is a barley lentil soup with a spice packet and lots of canned or frozen vegetables. The dehydrated veggies would be perfect for long term storage. I suggest you eat what you store on a regular basis so that if you need to live on food storage so your system doesn't have problems getting used to the new foods.
Sounds like ramen
New foods Debra? I store only foods I regularly eat and so should everyone else. Why would you not?
Same, I put lentils and a little quick basmati rice in everything.
It is not hoarding when you are stocking up in times of plenty, just as God ordained Joseph to do in Egypt during the 7 years of plenty as a preparation for the 7 years of famine. We are to prepare during times of plenty so that our families are safe during times of trouble.

@BruceForster: Thank you, thank you! I get people telling me all the time that they ''don't have enough money to stock a pantry''. These are usually the same people who have to have their cigarettes, lottery tickets, beer, and fast food. I tell them if you at least buy one thing to put away every time you go shopping once a week in a year you'd have 52 items in your pantry. But no, they don't want to do it. I've told people, ''Look I just helped you by telling you this. You should not show up at my door when the SHTF. It' won't go well. I just helped you out by telling you to start a pantry.
@@Inkdraft EXACTLY!

5:17 It's also worth noting that freeze dried food maintains significantly more nutrients than dehydrated food. For me, freeze dried is worth the difference in bulk.
I said this on another site, but if the grid goes down there will be many children roaming the streets because the foster homes don't want them anymore, elderly unable to pay for assisted living or other arrangements.

I hope it will be those of us who care no matter our religion. God bless you.
@@TheProvidentPrepper very true, I was in foster care until adopted at 4. I remember the smell of formula reminds me of that home. Not a good memory.

This is what concerns me. I am alone and have some health issues. However I can certainly contribute to earn my keep. I would love to join a prepper group. Look around your neighborhood for elderly or single people to include in your groups. We can teach and entertain children. They still need to learn to read etc. We can see, cook etc. Many hidden resources that go untapped ! Just because one is 'old " doesn't mean we have nothing to offer. Please consider adding that lonely, older person to your group !
Powdered rose hips lasts long in Mylar and is considerably higher in vitamin C than citrus fruit. Also dried elderberries are a great source of vitamin C
The skin of dried organic lemons also has much more vitamin C than lemons and ground u can add into soups. Good immune boost for colds!
I'm in Australia can I ask u what Mylar is?
David Harbuck Elderberries are also a great antiviral food. There is a recent study that shows elderberry blocks receptor sites from the flu virus. Use the juice, do NOT eat the seeds of elderberry.
Annette Sutton Mylar is a brand name for a thin foil-like material that is often used for food packaging. It is also what is used for the shiny helium balloons, emergency medical blankets, etc... .

Can rose hips be made with rose pedals?
One of the items on my list is a variety of oils and caustic soda to make soap with. Especially coconut oil, castor oil and olive oil is valuable for this. I can make anything from dish-washing soap to face purification bars and shampoo bars to general purpose household cleaner (safe and biodegradable b.t.w.). I also keep a good supply of jams and coffee beans because it can make your life more pleasant when you're under siege. I keep a huge variety of seeds, plant some of them yearly and when they become older, I plant some just to get fresh seed again. I have at least 20 different tomato variety seeds and 20 different pepper/chilli seed. If need be I'd like to grow at least enough fresh vegetables and fruit for my family to use. I stock up on tea, dried medicinal herbs and essential oils for their medicinal value too. Also blankets, toilet paper and pet food. Imagine how sad you'll be if you can't feed your cat (who are obligate carnivores and will not survive on rice and beans) if it can't find food to hunt? Keep several bags of cat kibble. Dogs will survive on human food, cats and birds won't.

Got to say your videos have helped me to get serious about prepping and food storage. At 55 years old I had never baked a thing in my life. I the last 3 months I've learned to bake bread(4 different recipes I now use) and even baked cookies. My wife says don't stop lol. We now go through more flour in a month than what we used to go through in a year.
I'm 50 and never baked. Have an oven I don't use. I need to get into it. Thanks.
I'm wondering about your expectations that there will be gas or electricity to bake with if we are talking about more than a month or two of disaster time. A propane camping stove or grill can last a while for heating and boiling. We are talking about very tough times. Water, medications, some sustenance is the first steps. I know most here are much more serious preppers, so you probably have it down to guns and ammo.
And I bet you've gained 50 pounds
My old wood-fired kitchen range has a great oven. It just needs you to turn your baked goods halfway through the cooking time. It has baked thousands of loaves of bread
Steve: And now in your mature years, you have for some odd reason set out to make you and your wife diabetic from flour metabolizing into sugar spikes to kill off your formerly healthy pancreatic beta cells! Why would you want to do such a thing?
The first 14 years of my life I was raised on delicious, home baked, yeast bread and homemade, glazed, yeast donuts, and home baked cakes. It has taken a DECADE to wean myself off that childhood flour addiction.
Simply no longer eating flour products of any kind and substituting fresh salads for fiber has enabled me to go off metformin and lose 2 sizes in clothing.
I had a neighbor who went 3 time a week to dialysis. I decided giving up flour was worth the effort to avoid dialysis later in life.
Research diabetes. Then evaluate whether you really want to kill your pancreatic beta cells.
One of my storage items is a .22 rifle with a scope and lots of ammunition. Thousands of rounds of .22 ammunition don’t take up a lot of space. The small caliber works well on small game. If a person shot a large animal such as a deer the lack of refrigeration could be a problem. So my thinking is that a small caliber rifle might be more beneficial in a survival situation.
excellent ideas Gordon, air rifles are very effective on small game, ammo cheap and quieter, get some bird seed spread around and wait for doves and pigeons, they will come for it!
INHO a .22 is the best caliber to have. I also have a .22 rifle and two .22 cal pistols. I can kill anything from a squirrel to a human. I agree about not taking up much space. I also don't want to stockpile multiple weapons of different caliber.
Making jerky isn't difficult. There's no reason not to kill a deer. Not to mention, if you're in a societal collapse or major depression where the grid is down, who cares if a little of the meat goes to waste? You still get a lot of very healthy meat. It's not exactly a time to go Mr. Ethical and let you family go without proper nutrition because you don't want to waste an extra few pounds of meat.
@@Swearengen1980
rotten meat is also a good bait for fish ..rats..dogs..birds..

@@PP-uv1kw Fair point. It doesn't have to go to waste. Many uses for that meat, including trapping other animals.
I totally agree. Amen. God said to gather your provisions.
I’d have to suggest herbs too, both for medicinal and culinary purposes.
Also vacuum pack any long term meds you may need.
Learn to grow plants that will amply substitute for every day things - like mullein leaves for toilet paper.
Store a few reams of paper and pencils until you learn how to make your own charcoal. You can’t make either of these easily.
Store plentiful yarn and cotton thread for mending and sewing.
You can’t make these easily either.
Get some citrus trees in pots. They can move with you. You’ll learn about looking after plants. And you won’t get ‘scurvy’ when others do! Also great for medicinal and flavouring purposes.

sugar does not need to be stored in mylar and should not be stored with oxygen absorbers. in colonial times, sugar came in a hard loaf and you grated off what you needed.
I store mine in a Mylar bag (no oxygen absorbers!) inside a 5 gallon bucket. Just makes it easier and neater for me since i buy it in bulk...and that's my daily use supply lol (I bake a LOT!). The same would go for my long term...just extra protection against any moisture.

I started prepping. About 2.5 years ago. First stuff on my list? RX meds, contact lenses, personal hygiene items, bucket toilets, water systems and OTC pain meds...because you don’t want to get sick, right? Anyway...just some hopefully constructive criticism.
PS biggest, BEST. Prepper item? A nice big, soft, warm partner/ wife who likes you AND who knows how to start a fire AND cook! 🤣🤣🤣👍👍
I say ditch the onions and use garlic instead.

Onion is the skunk weed. Garlic is the real deal!
What kind of corn? I have popcorn
We are not far from our long term prepps, but we have somewhat compensated the shortages with vitamins/minerals, which are needed for the girls and boys in our family. By no means is that a substitute for the prepps, merely a survival resource if we need to ration more than expected.
TY for all your videos and your book, huge advantage to be able to rely on your sharing of info through the years of prepping.
Stay safe,
God bless.
Thank you for your kind words! I am super proud of you.
Thank you for the useful information.
Tuna fish ,Oreos, peanut butter,jelly,crackers,chocolate milk,tea,coffee,orange juice,butter.
Shirley, foods that contain oil (like peanut butter) will go rancid and spoil. Crackers and Oreos etc will go stale. Check out each item before you stock up on it to learn if it will really last long term so you don't waste your money. There is a ton of info to be found here on UA-cam.
Great video, Thank you for making it. I love the idea of having own non electric mill. I will definitely consider this, and start searching.
Today, I will start my ever first food stack shopping (my car is warming up while I am typing this LOL).
It is somewhat overwhelming to me, as by nature I am not rack pack in any means, any household items -wise, incl. food and clothes. So I decided to do it in a very small steps., and created a list for everyday small hauls. For instance, today I am buying only jarred meats from local Polish store, some jarred vegetables they also have, and start on stacking drinking water. Drinking water I will be buying every time I shop, a 24 pack each time. I also want to make one-time haul of 24 x 1 gallon jags, when my son is available to help me. On Monday, I will do only canned fish (plus drinking water). Nothing on Tuesday, but On Wednesday I am taking advantage of going to Costco with a friend who is a member. I made a list, and will be concentrate on canned foods: soups, beans, veggies, fruit, oils, TP, paper towels, sugar, tea and coffee, rice, sugar, salt and spices. I will need some time to recuperate from that trip, and organize my stuff, possibly make a trip to Menards to get an additional shelving. The following Monday I will continue with hygiene items, soaps, shampoos, lotions, baking soda, vinegar, Oxygen Peroxide, vitamins, ointments, band aids, and also vitamins and basic meds and supplements like protein powder. And so on. Somewhere along my list is a plan of going to a local shoe store, to get 100% wool socks they carry, and UGG resin lined with ship skin boots. The list is much longer, thank for watching videos like this one, and few others. Happy new year dear everyone. Stay safe, healthy and happy.
This is a video everyone needs to watch ,share and save for reference. Just my opinion. ❤
Very good information. Thank you Jonathan and Kylene. Happy trails!
We have a freeze dryer and the freeze dried products celery tomatoes whatever that I'm using in rotation we keep in a jars that we've spray painted to keep the light out to help preserve it
Salt is always used for tanning hides. 😊. I am planting stevia this year as an alternative to sugar that can be produced self sufficiently. I still keep sugar on hand because I prefer it but I thought a plan B may make sense. Also you can get vitamin C by making tea from pine needles. I loved this video! So informative! Very interesting seeing the foods that where stored long ago! Great addition to your video!!! I was just vacuum sealing some lentils, beans, peas, and pasta before I sat down for lunch and watched your video 👍🏻 thanks for having lunch with me!
It depends on the animal. A beaver or raccoon about a pound- pound and a half at most. A deer is substantially more. You have to salt the hides directly 2x's and than soak the hide over night in a salt brine (for all animals) A deer would take about 4-5 lbs. you can reduce this a bit by doing multiple hides at a time and utilize the brined more than once. We use corse softener salt for the brined but regular fine grain table salt for the salting. You must use non-iodized for the process especially if you want the hair on or you risk hair slippage.
The Provident Prepper yep. We store a 20 gallon barrel full.
I love watching your channel. Thank you for all you do.
For the most desperate of crises, I would recommend foods which do not require cooking. Even if one has the equipment, fuel, ventilation, and time to cook, the odor of cooking food will eventually attract starving, armed, dangerous visitors who will stop at nothing to get something to eat.
@ Many starving people who come to take what is yours will be, too. The best armed marauders will live the longest during a crisis and most likely travel in packs.
You may be well armed but how many people will you be able to fend off at one time? The best defense is for no one to know where you are.
Who the hell wants to live in a world that you describe? All I need is one bullet and I’m done! What’s the point?
@@biggils8894 The point is that if you did that you would leave family and friends who need your help. The point is that whatever crisis was going on could subside and things could get better.
The point is that if you kill yourself you could stand face to face with God and He might not be too pleased that you destroyed the precious life He gave you.
The point is that to struggle to survive and to make preparations for survival are noble acts, but suicide out of fear in the face of any crisis is not.
There are no books or movies about people who killed themselves when things got tough; there are only ones about those who faced adversity with courage, determination, and ingenuity.
God does not make junk; when He made you He made you with gifts, talents, and abilities. He also placed people in your life who need you. Suicide is never the right choice; planning for and enduring difficult times is.

Fascinating to know to difference between dehydrated and freeze dried. Thanks
Sauerkraut has 750 g of vitamin C in every tablespoon just FYI
On the subject of salt, I like to keep pure salts (last forever), as well as iodized table salt...the iodized supplies critical iodine, but only has (as I recall) a 3-5 year shelf life. Store it, then 5 years later pull it out and use it, or donate to a food bank and resupply. You also didn't mention spices...eating for a year with only salt would be...boring. All manner of spices should be stored in a bucket in original containers, and are good for at least 5 years...rotate them out or donate to a food bank and resupply when they expire. Maple Syrup, Soy Sauce also on my list...they pretty much last forever as well. I also like to layer my food types. Buckets for LONG term, dehydrated meals (1-2 months worth) for short term, and MREs (1 month's worth) for immediate use or for use while moving...no cooking required. Great vid, on my saved list for a reference. Thanks!
BTW- wife and I truly appreciate all the information you share with all of us 🏆
NEW SUBSCRIBER ! Great video ! The Coronavirus panic has resulted in many folks storing food, but with LITTLE knowledge of "how". Most are content to buy canned foods, loaded with preservatives, and plenty of salt. We've been storing RICE & BEANS of various kinds, which we rotate to make a variety of Spanish dishes called "picadillo", adding ground beef for extra protein. You can also use ground chicken, turkey, ham, or other proteins as substitutes. DON'T FORGET to store SPICES - otherwise your preps will be very BLAND !
Yes please share! 🙏
I didn't think to store ascobic acid o r vinegar. I will correct that. A person could collect rose hips. I stored 500 lbs.each of salt and sugar for barter. (cane sugar to avoid GMO modification) I also stored 150 lbs. of whole powdered milk. I have a Berkery water filter for my water needs with extra filters. That was a bit spendy for me but I felt it was personally worth it
How did you store your powdered milk? Milar bags?
Some great ideas on this list. Just to add to the conversation: If you live near the coast, you probably don't need to hoard salt. Sea Salt is very easy to make. I make, and use it all the time.
I store popcorn to grind for corn meal as it is usually non-GMO & it is frugal.
I dehydrate all veggies and some fruits...it's amazing how much you can fit in a quart Mason jar ....I've been counting the last couple months...I can fit 2 heads of cabbage in a one quart jar,3o med carrots,8 sweet potatoes...plus it does not weigh much if you have to get it to a bug out spot in buckets or tubs like the canned foods I have for everyday use.you don't even need a dehydrater..if it's full I dry on my wood stove and in the summer dry it in nets outside
Corn like that is a great idea.
BTW for those wondering how to get bulk Corn. Feed stores whole dent corn in 50lbs bags or much larger bulk. Some feed stores sell by the ton if you have the container.
Potatoes. I boil my potatoes. Then slice them and then hydrated them. And store like this.
When using grind with a flour mill.
They loose flavor just like store bought mash potatoes. But last forever.
Note they can be uses a shot with how hard they are. Lol.
And yes you can soak them sliced and cook also.
But they work as a flour also.
Thanks for the tips this will help with me going off grid living and I will look up your website and I found this helpful with information regarding food supply
Most excellent. Just found you guys today. I guess I'm doing something right and asking the right questions being it brought me to your site. Thank you and God Bless.
If you can find un-hydrogenated lard I'd suggest picking up some small containers. As long as you don't open them they'll last forever. Also, tabasco sauce and Worcestershire sauce; buy a few extras and keep them in rotation.
Cocoanut oil is great for long term storage. As long as there’s no moisture.
Anything with capsaicin will keep almost indefinitely as spices with that compound will preserve it
We have 7 children so we have tons of oatmeal, beans, some rice, and canned meats/ fruits/ veges. I recently bought freeze dried onions, peppers, and cheese powder to go with our pastas in an emergency. We keep at least 2 or 3 months of butter and cheese on hand at all times...but should defi itely add butter powder to our stock up. I made a list of 10 shelf stable meals and have worked on having 3 to 6 months worth of those meals plus breakfast items and condiments. Spaghetti/Lasagna, Chili, Tuna casserole, Vegetable soups, Alfredo fettuccini, Pancakes, and such. I also keep 10 meals in my freezer that are meat based and special...like one would prepare for a new baby type of thing. This week I am stocking up canned soups for winter...I do this every winter.
@@TheProvidentPrepper thank you...it is all by Gods blessing for sure. I hope to have a solid year supply of foods we normally eat soon...and by December a 2 or 3 year supply of long-term basics. I have focused more heavily on things like socks, underwear, and clothing for the kids next few sizes this year, as well as books and homeschooling needs for the next few years. This month we are putting back a year supply of hygiene needs and stuff for medicines and booboos😉. Last month I put back a year supply of soaps for laundry and kitchen and baby care needs. Every month this year I have had a major focus on putting back needs for the next year or more for the kiddos. I really need to get more bathroom towels soon as well and waterproof mattress pads for the littles beds.

Dehydrated garlic and onion too. Sauces taste much better with them added.
You guys crack me up!
FYI instead of storing brown sugar, I purchased 2 gallons of molasses so I can make my own with my church sugar.
I thought a bucket of Redmond salt would easily last a year for a family of five. Not so! Getting more today. I despise the traditional table salt with aluminum so I really need to stock up in this category.
Finally, I don't buy hot chocolate mix anymore. I use 2 tsp Hershey powder and 2 tsp church sugar in hot water or milk. Sometimes I'll double the milk powder to increase protein & add 1 TBSP of coconut oil for calories & fat. Almost like drinking a meal and sooooo delicious if you can whip it in a blender.
Much love to you! 🙏🕊️❤️🐿️
When it comes to being prepared for emergencies I've done pretty well. I've always thought, however, that the apocalyptic mindset of a lot of preppers was quite over-the-top and melodramatic. During the current COVID crisis, though, the mindset doesn't sound as crazy to me as it used to.
Pay attention. We have storm clouds on the horizon that could be double or triple your wildest imagination. Be prepared.
HappyDays From Lil Giant Yes, Heavenly Father seems to be encouraging even those who do not acknowledge Him to store and prepare, even through the not do righteous and the Coronavirus. Long-term unemployment, freezing ice-storms and long periods without electricity also have influenced some to keep st least two weeks. I recently saw a video that said February of 2020 would see a broken piece of comet pass the earth which might cause freezing temperatures for as much as several years. Also said another piece would pass in four years that could cause the same thing or even impact the earth and cause freezing temperature for a decade. That would surely affect our sunlight and ability to grow food. Preparedness is never wasted. Even if those disastrous comets do not cause problems-the magnitude of our preparedness COULD help us to save others. Glad you see the wisdom in a little bit more. 👍
Welcome aboard Dreamer
Reading glasses in different strengths and a repair kit, extra gaskets for canners, cast iron cookware for cooking over a fire. Start a medicinal herb garden and get a carpet sweeper that requires no electricity such as Bissell.
I picked up readers at the Dollar Tree in several different strengths, cheap and effective.
Better still.... get rid of the carpet.😂😂. Seriously, I actually did get rid of the carpet in my entire house. A dust mop cleans it and I wet mop it once a week.
I would add spices, powdered butter and milk. Thanks I enjoy your channel🌸
first time subscriber. great content. i love it. thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Paul
@@TheProvidentPrepper thank you, i appreciate it. Paul
Whiskey or alcohol, for medical and barter purposes.
DIY that !
hemp
to be a good disenfectant you want at least 60 % abv so look for barrel or cask strength whiskeys. knob creek single barrel is a decent choice.
OR JUST FOR NERVOUS 🙄🍷🤺
Absolutely.... Also Fish Antibiotics & Kratom is an herb & great pain killer, about same as a Vicodin & just as addictive so ya gotta be careful
I don’t have a “top ten” list, but I would add chocolate, (and other candies), alcohol, pasta, condiments (especially the powdered versions of sauces (fajita mixes, taco seasoning, etc). I find jasmine rice tastes 100X better than regular long grain white rice, although I have both. One last thing, is heirloom seeds for planting. You may not be a gardener, but if the need arises, you want to be prepared. Thanks for this fantastic video! 🇺🇸✌🏻
"Storage" is a better term. You purchase items when they are inexpensive, so you have more buying power with more costly items.
Very helpful
We’ve also stocked up on Coffee tea ivermectin HCQ Azithromycin aspirin gabapentin zinc Vit D3 for two years
The one thing about all these dry grains and etc. Its going to take a lot of water to cook them. So stock up on tons of water
Water from a filter such as a Berkey.
that's what I worry about too.
You are so right. Thanks
Don't waste room stocking water !!!!! Make a rain collection system with a rock sand and activated charcoal filter for drinking and cooking Or buy water clor tabs to clean water for drinking and cooking. Trying to store all that water you will take way too much valuable storage room leaving less space to store food that would benefit more. Also get lighters and choclate, coffee, things to barter with others. And don't brag about your stuff!!!
@@bigfoothunter9968 "Don't waste room stocking water !!!!! Make a rain collection system with a rock sand and activated charcoal filter for drinking and cooking"
yes not having a water source, but I would recommend relying on rain water as it can be contaminated. Presumably after a period of WROL, arson and makeshift stoves will set urban regions ablaze with no fire dept. to put out the fires. They will spread until they run out of fuel which might takes months or years. Urban regions are full of hydrocarbons, & toxins that will go high into the atmosphere and come down in rain fall.
I recall a trip on 9-11-2001 about 50 miles away from NYC, I could smell the stench of burning plastic and see a plume of black smoke. That was from two buildings in NYC. It took firefighters about a month to put out the fire from those buildings.
Active Charcoal (real active Charcoal) is pretty expensive, and won't last very long. Ordinary homemade Charcoal could be used as long as you have a sources of natural (untreated wood). However The best option is to have a well & a means to draw water from it, with grid power. A deep well will naturally filter any surface water contaminates.
My husband has thin skin and is on a blood thinner for his heart. When he gets a cut or scratch, he bleeds and often on his socks or shirtsleeve or jeans. I keep a spray bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide handy in my laundry room and spray the blood stains with it. The chemical reaction causes quite a bit of heat! It bubbles and a foams as it breaks down the proteins in the blood. After the reaction stops, I rinse it and spray again. More reaction. Maybe 4 or 5 times before the blood has dissipated but it does take it all out. I used it with baking soda and water on a carpet stain left by our dog. Works on vomit stains and poopy stains! My go-to cleaner for all those kinds of stains. I’m 81 years old and have tried all the carpet cleaners that have been available over the years and peroxide has worked the best for me. Be SURE to test for color fastness before applying!!
Thank you for this wonderful list. My list includes nutrient dense, organic lentils - black, green and red. Black lentils, soaked overnight & sprouted are eaten raw. Green lentils can be sprouted or boiled with onion & salt. Make a flat bread by soaking 1/2 cup red lentils in 11/3 cups water for 2 hours, pour into mortar and grind into a batter. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon oil. Spoon onto a hot griddle or iron skillet for pancake sized flat breads or 2 medium sized pizza crusts. (This bread is tasty, holds together & is gluten free.)
In the spirit of, "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, but teach a man how to fish and he eats for a lifetime," I would suggest that you acquire seeds and gardening supplies, including fertilizer, in order to grow your own food. And, of course, be sure to have fishing supplies. Then, make sure you have enough stored food to keep you and your family fed until you can establish your garden and start farming animals. Aquaponics is also a good method to use, as it provides you with both fish and fertilizer for growing plants.
If you have farm animals you have fertilizer. Of course, I’d have some bags of greensand for micronutrients, lime if you have acid soil, and whatever else you can’t produce on your land. Poultry are best rotated in predator-secure movable pens on grass, but if you have no suitable land, do you have a good garage? We raised 25 meat chickens that way once, in 8 weeks & nobody knew. Except the butcher. I cleaned the pen out every day or 2 because I didn’t like the smell. Great compost material. Now we let them fertilize the ground for us with 6X10’ movable shelters (John Soscovich-style). We’re older now & like to stand up in them.)
No one needs to teach a man to fish it's common sense if he's seriously that ignorant helping him would be futile hence give a man a fish is the lamest saying ever
If you live near a saltwater coast, crab traps should be included in those fishing supplies. Lots of crab traps. Fisheries are going to be overwhelmed very quickly and normally abundant fishing areas will be fished out quickly. Crabs, on the other hand, much fewer people will go for. So on the days when fish are few and far between, you'll at least have crab meat.

Give a man a fish 🐟
He will can it for a 🌧 ☔️ ⛈️ day
And go fishing 🎣

Large quantities of ascorbic acid are also very good as a chelating agent in the event of radioactive exposure or ingestion of radioactive nucleides. In a study done of children who had been in the contamination zone around Chernobyl in 1986 when the reactor exploded and they were exposed to large doses of radioactive particles they were given 2 tbsps of ascorbic acid in a large glass of orange juice twice a day for three months. At the end of the study, their exposure levels had dropped 66%. .
Great presentation. I learned a lot and will begin to implement.
Drop an egg size piece of dry ice into a 5 gallon bucket of grain {rice,corn or beans] and the co2 will drive out the o2 because co2 is heavier and will displace the o2. After the dry ice is gone, seal up the tiny vent hole.
And it's a good idea to exchange your food supply. For example if you need salt, or beans or whatever else for your everyday cooking get it from the storage and buy same new item to put it back into storage. That way you will not have to eat 25 years old food, it will be fairly fresh.
Good information about the rice, I didn't know that. I will be getting stored up on rice
Look into parboiled rice.. superior option to regular rice.
Just be careful since white rice is a pure starch will convert to sugar when digested. Dietebes can be a problem if you consume a lot of rice. beans and oats would be a better option in my opinion. Rice would be a good barter option or providing some food for people that come begging.
The Country Living Grain Mill.......THE BEST!!! We've known Jack for 35 years and have owned our mill that long! He designed this mill himself. Great guy, great mill and great service!!!!!!
Great informative video...great list and ideas! Thanks!
Thanks for the heads up on mylar metal changing the flour's taste. ❤️
Brilliant idea to store the grains in the used PET bottles! It's great that you can see the contents and write on the bottles. One thing that I worry about is rodents getting into my food stores if they are in mylar or vacuum bags. Good idea (simple but I don't know if I would have thought of it) to put it in a cardboard box to keep them out of the light. Where did you source your PET bottles from?
@@TheProvidentPrepper Thank you!
Card board smell draws mice. When you find a good replacement. I thought about totes with duct tape around the lid to seal them up because you could watch the tape and see if it is damaged by mice etc.
What are pet bottles?
peanut butter / dried fruit / nuts/ beans / rice/ oatmeal / cornmeal its a good idea to start storing food as i hear a shortage is coming as food prices rise to unafordable prices....
I suggest not eating too well on your hoard pile after "the world ends." If you look really healthy compared to everyone around you, they'll know you have a stash and try to raid it.
During WW-ll, Stalingrad, a guy was going home and saw a man with rosey cheeks. Everything was grey, the sky, bombed out buildings, people, snow. He secretly followed him and saw him duck into an abondoned bombed out building. He waited a few minutes and then slipped in, following voices up to the second floor. There were two men slicing meat off a hanging body. He slipped out and ran home. If they had seen him ...
@@fjb4932 yikes that was a horrible war
I have heard that.
From what cannibals say, human meat supposedly tastes like chicken. At molecular level, meat is meat whether it's human or animal. Unfortunately civilization is only skin deep and episodes like Donner's party cannibalismm shows that when SHTF, people have to resort to whatever they can to surivive.
@@fjb4932 Please, God save us from desperation like this.
Thank you for this, thank you for giving the amounts per person.
We have pretty much everything except we will be ordering more salts, sugar and ascorbic acid. Also adding more dried potatoes
Gotta love the LDS Church for having their parishoners grow gardens, fruit trees, keep chickens, can, dehydrate and always insure a filled pantry, either in their home basement or in a shed on their property. Seeing The Provident Prepper here with that same awareness of always staying on top and being safe. :)
they also sell cases of #10 prepper items cheap and bulk shipping is only $3.
@@patches1483 ah,....ya don't say? bulk shipping is only $3, but is it only for the lower 48, Alaska and Hawaii? Anyways it would be interesting to check out their website. Thank you for sharing this info' Laura. :)
Only LDS ?? WTH ??
You know some polygamous LDS? None of the regular ones I know do such a thing. Maybe you mistaking them with Amish or something.
@@MariaMartinez-researcher Only polygamous LDS in nw Arizona, but the rest, including the Mexican and Canadian are in sync with the Church and yeah, I know a lot of families back home in Utah that prepped.
Upvoted for supplying list in description. Thanks.
I agree with most of your vision. But I would look for alternative means to PRODUCE what we could need, like ascorbic acid.
I lived through the worst years of the Venezuelan collapse. I had supplies, but not enough for anything like what happened.
Hoarding is not going to take you much further. You need to PRODUCE in a SUSTAINABLE WAY if you want to make it.
I´m now expatriated in a foreign country, broke and having a harsh time.
i hope things get better for you
Rose Petals are full of vit C.
Wish you had mentioned where one could purchase a hand grist mill, and approximate cost. Expensive items that most can’t afford are a great thing for those who can, to let someone in their community use or barter food/goods/services for the mill owner to grind for them. Another thing I would like to know is just laying a few bay leafs in the bottom of the bucket enough to keep pests/larvae from hatching or does something else have to be done? I’m pretty new to this, and I have some foods, but my area of expertise is medical knowledge and I am well stocked is first aid supplies, just a for instance. But great video! Ty!
@@TheProvidentPrepper -ty so much for giving a beginner the correct information! God bless and ty again!
