There are many reasons to stockpile prepping supplies and store basic food in your prepper pantry. Stock your food supply for the next emergency and upcoming uncertainties so you will have enough food on hand for everyday emergencies as well as a Doomsday prepper food supply crisis. Prepare for rising food prices, food crisis, shortages, border issues, homeless in our cities. Food prices are increasing, take food shortages seriously. Stock up on emergency meals. What are the food crisis causes? Emergencies are real, it's sensible to stock up on extra food now.

    Everyone needs to get to the point that they can treat every trip to the store as if it was the last. I never go to the store without a list, I never shop the day I make a list, I always make the list while checking what I have.

    Living in Texas and having gone through Snowmageddon without power for 4 days in 5 degree temperatures, I can tell you what saved us, our family, and many neighbors that we helped. First of all, having a tri-fuel generator and knowing how to use it and having multiple types of fuel to run it was our saving grace! Did you know propane in the 30 lb. bottles doesn’t work at 5 degrees! We didn’t either, but soon found out! Luckily we had stocked up on gas. Our Coleman butane stove was priceless and we also have 2 extra that we loaned out to family and friends. Canned soups and one pot simple meals with plastic dishes and silverware to serve with. Mr. Buddy heaters to loan out to friends as we were able to run our gas furnace with the generator. Lots of warm blankets, clothes and boots, which we didn’t have a lot of living in Texas, but have remedied that now. Bottled water as well as water storage containers as we ended up having to boil and store water because of possible contamination. Luckily we were pretty well prepared, but many of our family, neighbors and friends weren’t. We loaned out lots of additional provisions and even took in family, their pets, and an elderly neighbor and his grandson who were trying to get warm in their vehicle. Also, make sure you are prepared with provisions to protect your pipes and have plenty of clean linens for unexpected guests. We didn’t wash for 4 days and had 4 extra people and 3 dogs living with us. Bottom line, prepare for everything! 👍🏻😊

      When the tornadoes trashed our stretch of Central Georgia, We did just fine with no power for four days, but loaned our son's friends our generator when they were isolated for over a week. They had to chain it up as the human vultures were waiting at the end of the driveway to steal it if possible. A huge oak tree cut their house in half, so a tarp was not enough. We had food, water, sanitation and alternate lighting. butane camp stoves and lots of dehydrated and home canned food got us through. Thanks for all the nudging, AG.

In fact, meat only turns red when a pigment within it called oxymyoglobin is exposed to oxygen, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). So, while the outer layer of ground beef may be red (as you would expect), a gray or brown interior tells you that this part of the meat simply hasn't had access to oxygen."

    We live in a trailer and you wouldn't think we'd have room to store anything. And space is certainly at a premium. However you can tuck supplies under your bed, and under/behind couches. If you do it right, it remains unseen. More durable supplies can be hidden under the skirt of your trailer. Things like camp stoves, tarps, etc.
    Be sure to keep an eye on the dates of the items you were purchasing. Make sure they are as far out as you can get them. Once in your home, rotate the stock so that the oldest items are getting used, and replaced. You don't want to have an emergency 10 years from now to find out that 50 to 100% of what you bought now is no good.
    Think like a squirrel or an ant, saving for the darker times. When times are good, put up what you can. Money, gold silver, food. Don't think that the bad times aren't coming because they always do.

    Here is about the last run. If it's really that bad, you going out will be your last time to breathe. You will get hurt (or worse) over something you probably could get by without until you can trade with someone. A place with panicking people is the last place you want to be. Not to mention while you are not home, someone can decide that they really like it with everything else you have. If you know that something is seriously wrong, the best thing you can do is not to go anywhere.

    Thank you for your video.
    I'd be hitting the Grain Elevator and trying to avoid the stores.
    I "feel" so prepped up yet I know there is lots more I could make do with.
    I just scored two large insulated Fish Totes and have my eye on number three.
    I've already filled one Tote with another half ton of whole Wheat (and there's room for 200 lb more) and the other Tote is reserved for a half ton off whole Corn. The last Tote is smaller and will hold at least 500 lb of whole Oats, ... when I pick this smaller Tote up that is.
    "They" throw their damaged Totes in the ditch and then fill them with garbage for the dump and I get them before they get filled, ... although there are three Totes full of garbage there now, ... I may have to empty one or two of them. This is "Fish Industry garbage", as in broken Pallets and crates, ... cardboard and whatnot. Nothing dangerous so far. Just awkward stuff that people are too lazy to toss up high into the great big steel garbage rig they use. The sides are six feet high and it's a real toss to get stuff in there.
    Most of these Totes are stabbed by the forklifts or crushed in between trucks or fall off trucks, ... anyway, they are no longer water tight and some are so bad they are not even good for me, .. but the ones that are good enough, make perfect vermin proof grain storage.
    I am truly blessed eh? Now to haul a couple of the smaller ones into the woods to stash and fill with "back up" emergency preps. (wishful thinking for now)
    If I was to get more of anything it would be Kerosene for my Oil Lamps. 12 and a half gallon is not a lot of Kerosene when you start to use it all the time.
    I have a 45 gallon plastic barrel that's not suitable for food or water but it would make great Kerosene storage. I'll have to see if the local Oil "dealer" will sell me some Kerosene "bulk" and affordable. It's over $60 for a five gallon steel bucket of the stuff and buying it that way would take months to fill the Barrel. Not to mention the steel buckets are excellent storage to begin with so why decant them into a Plastic Barrel?
    I just "want" the stuff eh?
    I'm looking for an old fashioned Kerosene heater as well but will only buy it if it's a deal. Now that thing would go through the Kerosene fast. But for an emergency, it would work fine. Just not long term.
    My All American Canner deal fell through and I've lost interest in the Jase Case, ... crazy I know, but I follow my interests and now I'm interested in a small heavy duty Grain Mill I can buy for $311.00 and a real nice Alcohol Still I could get for $150.
    Then we'll see if my interest in the Jase Case returns. I hope it does because my interest in things tends to make them easier to acquire. For me anyway.
    OK, I still have a half a five gallon bucket of Beets to get processed, ... lucky me.
    Keep up the great work and good luck.

    Cold medicine. I needed that this week. I had it, and I was really glad I stashed bubbly water instead of ginger ale. It felt good on my throat. Today I bought unflavored bubbly water in cans, not the big bottles. So what if it goes flat, in an emergency, it will still be drinkable. Think of New Orleans right now, very close to a water emergency because of drought. I was also glad I stashed salty potato chips away because I didn't have my usual saltines that I keep in case of colds and flu. I also had all the makings for hot toddys. This came in handy for the first night or two when I couldn't find my cold medicine and could only find my zantac. Prepping can come in handy when you least expect it.

    I've mentioned it before, but Alaska Granny's excellent recommendations of Dollar Tree's shelf stable quarts of whole milk are indispensable staples, whether there is an emergency or not.
    They're not always in great supply but over the past several months, I have managed to accumulate just under a total of 20 gallons worth. And, yes, I make regular use of these milks in my occasional nightly 🌙 cold cereals and my occasional morning 🌄 hot cereals. Of course, with winter fast approaching, I'll be using them more frequently with hot cereals, homemade mashed potatoes 🥔 (or the packaged versions) and macaroni and cheese 🧀 side dishes.
    For emergency use only, I also purchased a box of 30 ct. packets of Carnation chocolate breakfast drink, which I would mix with cold shelf stable milk. I'm planning to purchase at least one more box (totaling 60 "meals") over at Sam's.

    I believe it is possible for most of us to stock up with enough of the basic necessities to not need to shop for six to twelve months of frugal living. However, I believe very few of us have the skills and resources to do subsistence living for the rest of our lives. Most of us could not raise and butcher our own cattle, pigs and chickens. Alternatively, most of us could not hunt and fish for all our animal protein. Most of us could not grow all the vegetables and fruit we will eat. Most of us could not grow flax and wooly sheep, spin our own yarn and weave our own cloth to make our own garments.
    I believe that most of us, at some point, would need to buy more of the basics no matter how well we had stocked up. Which is fine, because a six to twelve-month supply of the basics plus whatever we can buy during that time to supplement the basics will probably be enough to get us through whatever hard times may happen next.
    I recommend that anyone who is preparing for hard times, stock up on the materials necessary to repair clothing. New clothing was tightly rationed during WWII and it was unaffordable for many during the Great Depression. Of necessity, people learned to repair and re-style their used clothing to make do and keep up appearances. And when a garment became too worn in places to repair, the cloth was cut down and the good pieces used to make children's clothing or quilts.
    To repair your clothing you will need some basic supplies such as needles designed for hand sewing, the kinds of threads designed for hand sewing, iron-on patches, 100% cotton broadcloth in neutral colors (white, black gray, brown..) to use as patches and perhaps, for those with sewing machines, a good supply of machine thread, bobbins, extra machine needles, machine oil, yards of cloth and sewing patterns. And perhaps buy a basic beginner book on how to repair clothing (both Amazon and eBay have thousands of new and used books for sale) and also one on how to use a sewing machine if you have a hand-me-down machine you do not know how to use.

    I understand that there maybe another lockdown like event, but I am more practical. With the Clorox hack, even things like ranch dressing and kitty litter are in shorter shupply because they make other products than just bleach. I prep well for my animals so I don't have to go out whenever someone decides to have a shutdown for ransonware. Some with other products. All of a sudden the big brother wants to get rid of sudafed? Got it. People want to hoard rice because of worldwide fear? Already got some. For someone who thinks prepers have flipped their lids, are you scrambling for bleach or cat litter? I'm not. Prep for short term real life sceanarios.

      @Keesmom2 9 місяців тому +2

      I agree with you. We live by the coast and I’ve (hubby has joined in more since 2020) been stocking up on supplies and necessities for at least the last fifteen years. During the lockdown, we had plenty of TP and PT, canned goods, water, batteries and toiletries. We rarely went out to the stores and then only to get fresh produce and some meat or chicken. Just add a few prep items each shopping trip to your cart when shopping- it all adds up and pretty quickly too!
      Stay safe everyone and thank you Alaska Granny for your thoughtful and very helpful videos.

    The last one is about eating food straight from a can. If you have a choice, you'd better not. There is always a chance that it was not sealed properly, it got contained, or the worst of all in my humble opinion would be botulism. It's a small chance, but if you're already in a rough situation, don't take a chance. Empty a can and boil the food. Heat it up in a can, but avoid eating canned food without reheating it.

      @suzybailey-koubti8342 9 місяців тому +2

      A tip for cooking your Compleats - open the top all the way back, sit on a paper plate and then put the top back down on it loosely and put anther paper plate on top. Cook for two minutes instead of one minute!!! Be careful because it’s very hot! It makes the meats cook through more and makes the mashed potatoes taste so much better. I learned this from a man doing a review on Amazon!! ❤😊 we love the chili with beans and crumble a couple of saltines on top with a dash of hot sauce.

It had to do with making up simple 1 gallon storage baggies of 3-4 items that make-up a quick, easy meal with an index card inserted with brief directions.The kind of handy meals that works well during super stressed times. Cannot recall the exact video (or 2?). I still have my 2 big plastic totes with those easy peasy no brains required meals. I have dared not touch them...yet. Idea: maybe do a re-play of those vids??

    And all of the wonderful long term food. Realistically, you can't get enough to last you a life time. Ok, even if you could, chances are that you may lose it all. That's the reality of crazy times. What you have as a back up, is your back up. It's for the times you can't get anything else, the absolute emergency. Once the last can is opened, the last pound of rice eaten, there is nothing left. Therefore, you try not to use it as much as possible because if you can't replace it, that's it. Once it's gone it's gone.

    I picked up a couple of the cheap Dollar Tree ankle and wrist supports, and have always kept 'Ace' bandages. I also have A&D Ointment, as it is good for irritations and some folks are allergic to topical antibiotic ointment, (one of my sons, for instance). It is unfortunate that the old Johnson&Johnson beeswax ointment was discontinued. I also have hemorrhoid ointment, because stress can cause that problem.

However, boxes of the toilet paper “coins” that can be ordered on line is a good solution and take up very little space in comparison with storing regular toilet paper rolls. Speaking of hygiene, don’t forget to stock up on lots of sturdy garbage bags.

    Some of the things you talk about don't last that long.
    Speaking of critters, several years ago I was told 2 things: 1) silverfish, ect. don't like bay leaves, so I scattered bay leaves in all my cabinets, ALL of them and I haven't seen a single one. 2) spray lemon or lavender room spray in coat closet, garage, laundry room, outdoor storage, and even in the trunk of your car to repell mice and other critters.
    Also, these are things we never had to deal with when I was growing up, so why are we dealing with them now. Anyone have a answer?

We heat our home with kerosene as our House is NOT setup for a wood stove. I'm working on securing more of this fuel with the hopes of getting a Two Year Supply.
    Cooking has been well Handled as we have Two of the Butane Camp Stoves and more that 100 fuel canisters for them.
    We won't be able to run the Microwave, or the Laundry, but we set a drying rack in the living room and the Kerosene eater can then do double duty in that it will dry the clothing and keep us warm. We CAN wash our clothes the old fashioned way like the Pioneers did-NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT!
