Nice job Jamie! I love that you all upgraded to a new video from the original "Prepper Pantry" video. I know I
I've been sharing these with many of my friends in CA who are affected by all these intentional power outages now. Sooner or later people in CA will learn that being Prepared is not just for emergencies...but is a good idea for the constant threat of "Intentional" power outages. :) LOL
Does anyone know if the Berkey water filter system truly clean water as well as they claim? I'm in NYC, and our tap water is very clean however after hurricane Sandy, the water was cloudy for about 3 day's. No offical suggestion of boiling was recommended but I've been purchasing bottled water, ever since than storm.
@@jodrew1845 I've been using a Berkey for several years now. I have never had my filtered water tested to see if it does everything Berkey says it will but I do know that my tap water tastes terrible but after filtering, it tastes great. So, I am trusting that it is doing what the company says it will. I have only purchased a few store bought bottles of water for traveling purposes. As for cloudy water, I would suggest filtering through finely woven cotton cloth first as the filters in any of the filtering products will clog very rapidly if there is any sort of debris in the water. I think I would even say filter through coffee filters AND cloth first.
@@leal536 great ideas, thanks.
I practice "use one, buy two" to build up my food pantry.
Everyone thought preppers was crazy! Now we all watch with envy. I’m officially a prepper I will never be caught off guard again.
Brandon Bunsold same here!
Yup, yup, yup!!!!!!
God damnit UA-cam. Why couldn’t you have recommended this video 6 months ago.
Haven't you ever seen the show Doomsday Preppers? Check it out
crazy how years later this is in all of our recommended
When you hadn’t prepped but coronavirus makes you think you should start
@Dober Mann boo hoo thought we was crazy
Prepping is like insurance. How often have you claimed on all those insurances you pay?
Not often, but when you need them they come in handy.
It's a good idea to start. There are meat processing plants closing down across the country. Stock your freezer, with things like bacon, pork, beef, etc
#facts
Did you start?
I used to work in the grocery industry. Historically the two weeks just prior to thanksgiving have the biggest sales (and thus lowest prices) on canned goods of the entire year. Different chain stores highlight different good, such as green giant, private labels etc.
By thanksgiving the harvest is done for the year and the food already canned --- so the canned peas you buy in November this year, is the same harvest as what you will buy next June.....,
We tend to budget and buy a years worth of canned goods during this time of year. --- and have done this for the last 30 years.
This really saves money --
Even if you can't buy a years worth at one time --- buy what you are able to afford.
Building a pantry NOW will definitely add to the panic and chaos. Do that in normal times when there's no special demand. If everybody behaves it's gonna be fine! Consider the old folks!
Along the topic of water storage. When I don't have a full canner load...I can a quart of water. It makes the rack in the canner balance better and I have shelf stable safe water. If I need jars it is easy to go and get some to return to service....but I have lots of jars :)
This video was posted 3 years ago yet most comments are from a couple hours ago
I’m a lifelong pantry hoarder. Friends and family have chastised me my whole life. HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW?
Still no need to hoard.
Like you!
@@normacanchola3595 how is she hoarding when she is buying throughout the year to be prepared? Do you know how much food is thrown out at grocery stores every week?! If more people were stocked like this we would be better off. They would probably cook more too instead of eating garbage from most restaurants.
Anyone else watching this March 2020. Wow!!! Never thought I'd better trying to start one now. Too little too late.
Furrybaby never to late.... the next might be worse
It's only going to get worse
I prepped my family by making them fat. They can burn off their fat reserve. It’s a years worth. They will survive on water for a good while.
😂
But it actually works. But you'll need also vitamins supplement to add to the water fast
Hippopotamus Anonymous hahahahahahaha!
Corona virus brought me here 🙏 Thank you for great info
jade brown me too
Why?
Booswanger because the markets are running out of water and Lysol.
Why would you be buying water. Your faucets don’t work?
And it’s expected to last through the summer 😰 someone from the Philippines has reported that the heat doesn’t seem to help.
I store my food not by type, but by expiration date. I have rotating sections labeled by quarter: jan 2020, mar 2020, june 2020, etc. Regardless of what it is, I can eat anything getting close to expiration. When I shop, I put each item in the date-area it expires, whether it is 6 mos out or 4 years.
I do the same
Smart system man
We have three food locations: in the kitchen, in the upstairs pantry, and in the basement pantry.
As we use up foods from the kitchen, we replenish from the upstairs pantry, and as the upstairs pantry empties, we replenish from the basement pantry. New supplies coming in go directly to the basement. We want to ensure that we don't have outdated foods going to waste in the basement.
Brilliant
I've been at this a long time and i've got to say this is one of the best "starter" videos i've seen. Very well done.
I just dropped $500 on canned goods at Walmart today rofl. People were looking and staring at me. I just minded my own business and kept going.
People need to get going while things are affordable.
1. Chef Boyardee = $0.89 as of 2/11/2020
2. Vegetables = $0.39 as of 2/11/2020
3. Canned Tuna = $0.56 as of 2/11/2020
4. SPAM = $2.92 2/11/2020
5. canned Mushrooms = $0.56 as of 2/11/2020
6. Vienna Sausage = $5.76 (12 cans) as of 2/11/2020
7. Oatmeal = $3.88 2/11/2020
8. Mac and Cheese = $0.50-sprial $0.38-regular
9. Coffee = $8.00 and up 2/11/2020
10. Gronola bars = $2.46 2/11/2020
AWESOME!! That's GREAT! I wish everyone would do this now before we get to the end and it's all a mad rush!
You forgot the rice and beans. That is probably the best staple you can have. Please stock up on that. Also, I was told a good way to go is to purchase a lot of those chunky soups and pour them over rice to stretch out the soups and make the rice taste better. I'm totally doing this.
Oftin Wong Actually you can do a lot with Spam. Cut in small squares and brown in hot oil. Surprisingly tasty. Cut up into casseroles with rice or noodles and top with cheese. Grind it up and make patties. Use spices, and onions. Spam is really versatile. People make the mistake of thinking they can eat it right out of the can. You can do that but like any other meat, especially canned meat, there will be little flavo.
Oftin Wong The question is not about whether you prefer real meat to Spam. The question is whether you prefer starving to Spam. In a long term emergency, real meat might not be available. I realize you were probably joking when you said you would be happy to die if Spam was part of the menu. Just giving a little FYI to those people who may not be familiar with the versality of Spam.
Oftin Wong Gotcha
Thank God for preppers...my heroes...I never looked down on preppers, unlike people I know.
I'm a hoarder.
This is an excellent beginning video for food storage. The key is store what you eat, eat what you store, and rotate your food. Thanks very much!
Went through a period of unemployment recently, of course it wasn't fun, but thanks to a bit of sensible prepping I never had to worry about a tasty meal coming my way...Thanks for your great tips!
Some of the events you named sound so unlikely in my area, but here are a few very likely scenarios that prompt me to keep a pantry. Preparing for a nuclear holocaust is not a scenario for me to prepare for as I live within the kill zone of a nuclear power plant, but I was so glad I had a working pantry when our only car was in the shop for over a week and couldn't drive to the grocery store. Another time it was handy was when the whole family got the flu and we were lucky to get to the bathroom much less the grocery store. A business trip sometimes takes our only car away from home for a few days. It could even be an illness or death in the family that takes me away from home, so I have stuff that the family can make while I'm gone. That's why I keep a pantry. Flood, tornadoes, job loss or even just having the water treatment plant go down for maintenance are my extremes... with my pantry we are prepared. xoxo from Arizona.
For a quick cooking solution in a small space I used 3 candles that I placed under an old glass and metal candle holder. The candle holder had a ring on top with 3 legs aprox 8" high and the glass sat in the top ring, the candle used to sit in the glass. I removed the glass part and simply used the frame to hold a small pot and put 3 emergency candles under it to warm up soup/canned pasta etc. I have a better option now but at the time in a small apartment with no room to keep a lot of supplies, and no where to safely use a propane camp stove it worked very well when we had a 3 day power outage. I managed to keep 4 kids fed and happy that way!!! It is amazing how many things you can re purpose if you just look around your house at what you have or things you can get at a thrift store or garage sale. Like many people I don't have a lot of money but I have found that by using my imagination I can make things work with little or no money. Another good tip I have found is talking to neighbors and friends. We all have things in our house we don't use and swapping items with other people works for everyone PLUS it saves on things going into the landfill!! As my father used to say "your head isn't just there to hold your hat"... LOL!!
Three weeks ago we went through a major cat. 5 hurracane here in Puerto Rico, thanks to the fact that I started working with my pantry a few months ago we were able to have the necessary food for almost two weeks. It is a slow recovery but the supermarkets still have have long lines and they close early. It is very necessary to prepare ourselves, even though we have always been exposed to these types of events, none like this. At least we have communication on our cell phones. Thanks for your advice in your videos, they are very helpful.
I am sorry to hear you were part of that. It is good you were prepared to the extent you were. I hope things continue to improve. Thanks for sharing your experience
Who is here because of the Corona Virus?
Alexander George me😿😷
Alexander George everybody
I'm actually here because I have been preparing for years...and this includes my knowledge base. And I have determined, sustainable food is by far the best way. So I am trying to learn more.
You two produce amazing videos, which are the very best ones on UA-cam. Straight to the point, friendly and crystal clear to understand. Thank you
Watching this because of the VIRUS!
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Our food pantry served us very well recently going through the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. We lost power for a week in my neighborhood. Some are STILL without power (Mind you, the storm hit us on 9/10/17 and today is 9/25/17). SMH! Having home canned food helped tremendously with cooking quick meals.
We had several ways to cook our food, but, all we used was our portable one burner butane stove. We were happy we had it! In a long term catastrophe, we would use our Sun Oven as our primary means of cooking to preserve fuel.
We found out that water flew off the shelves in the grocery stores, gas stations, pharmacies, hardware stores, ANYWHERE that it was sold in no time! Bread was also a HOT COMMODITY, and you couldn't find it anywhere even a week after the storm had hit! Oh, and let's not forget about Ice! You couldn't find it anywhere as well. The gas stations had ridiculously long lines too! Our solar generator saved us from waiting in those long gas station lines. Just thought I'd share...
Excellent information! I am so glad you shared and I hope others who may be still debating about starting a pantry read your story.
What type of solar generator do you have? I am looking at them right now.
K M We have the Kodiak Solar Generator. 1100 watts. It ran out deep freezer for 11 hours straight! We charged it with a 500 watt inverter in our car. It took 5 hours to charge it. We could have used the solar panels as a second option, but, it would have taken MUCH LONGER to charge it.
We are looking into those as well
Thanks for the info... We had Hurricane Maria here and thanks to my small pantry I didnt have to go shopping. I had supplies for a month and a half. Now I am planning to expand my pantry and my solar. It has been almost 3 months of Hurricane Maria and still there is NO electric power. Our journey contunues ...
Now that I live in a house instead of a small apartment, I am trying to build what I call a Working/ Winter pantry. Yes, I use what is in my pantry on a regular basis, but since I hate driving in ice and snow, I am trying to get enough food that I don't have to do much grocery shopping (if any) in the winter. I work from home, so if I have my food ready, I won't have to go out much at all. (That said, since I eat all three meals at home, I have to keep in mind that 90 days worth of food is 270 meals.)
I hope we all learn from this. Most of us are told over and over to have some sort of storage of food set up. There could be an earthquake, a tornado, and EMP, the list goes on and on. I hope we will not only never be caught off-guard like this again, but that you understand that for all of our safety all of us need to have food storage. That way there's not going to be a rush to the stores and better yet we can trade with each other. I'll trade you some beans for some bread Etc. When this is all over, please for the love of God don't just go back to how you were living. Most importantly, learn to grow and store your own food. Even if you just have an apartment grow some tomatoes on your sidewalk or porch or window sill. Just begin to practice getting your hands back into the Earth learn to save seeds and grow and harvest your own food. It's a skill that will definitely come in handy in the years to come.
Better to be prepared and not need it than not be prepared and need it. The old Scout motto. “ Be Prepared”
Brilliant video, I keep a 1 month pantry, not for any cataclysmic eventuality. We have a very reliable temperatue guage, (Scotland) cold and wet but If I'm ill, I don't need to go shopping. I store long life milk etc, I have enough food, canned and frozen to last one month without having to leave the house. Being in Scotland I'm only 30 minutes drive away from a pure natural water supply, so I guess I'm lucky.
That is typical for people who live in New England the USA due to winter storms. Seemed a little weird to me coming from Long Island New York, people were not into food store 40 years ago. But, it was a great learning experience to be prepared. My husband lost his job and we survived on that food for a month.
If only we had classes for prepping in high school or college
XOCHIL G Genius!
Your family is supposed to teach you basic life skills. They failed you, not the school system.
@@ilovesparky13 You can shove that up your ass. I'm here statting that we are not all prepared. Ignorant asshole
It used to be called Home Economics.
We live about 75 miles from the nearest source of quality/fresh veggies and meats so the hubby an I tend to go once ever 3-6 months and load up the freezer. Well it so happens Harvey hit just 1 week after one of our big stockup runs. We were fine but parts of the Parish were without power for 3 weeks. It was a wakeup call.
After it was all over I did my homework and ordered a canner, bought jars and started canning a large part of what I had in the freezer. I tend to mostly can ingredients instead of finished products so the jars are more versatile in what I do with them. The one exception is soup. We do love our soup so I do can that as a finished product.
Once I got past that huge job of canning all that stuff I shop sales. For example our local store had dry red beans dirt cheap last week. Some I put in the freezer for a week (to kill eggs and larva) and then vacuum sealed in mason jars. The rest I made up into ranch beans and canned. I do the same with rice, into the freezer for a week and then vacuum sealed in mason jars.
This summer we plan to shop the farmers market and roadside stands for local produce. We continue our runs to the big city for meat. I plan to try a bit of container gardening on our back porch this year.
Meanwhile my canning skills are improving. I am feeling more confidant in what I can do, I would tell people just start. Don't let the scale of it intimidate you. Getting from start to finish is a big job but it can be done in baby steps that really do not hurt all that much.
Next project, I learned my air fryer oven has a dehydrate function (who knew?) so I am researching dehydrating foods. Hopefully soon I will have this going as well.
Just a mildly humorous update. We joined the frozen pipes club this morning. Not a usual thing in Louisiana LOL. Fortunately no broken pipes and we were able to get them thawed out by noon. Just what a coincidence after what you and your family experienced.
So far I have managed to dehydrate apples. oranges and bananas. I did some celery but it is not rehydrating right so I need to do some more homework on that on or maybe just go back to canning it. Home dehydrated apples and bananas are SO much tastier than store bought. Loads of flavor.
Yup.. if the emergency involves the elec. grid going down... *and most do* .. those depending on freezers will definately have a problem. Freeze dried, dehydrated, and canned foods should be a part of one's supplies.
One thing I'd add to this: If you are using a stove that uses fuel of any kind, make sure you have adequate ventilation. Fire is a great tool, but both the fire and you, need oxygen to keep going. Also, when you get a stove, PRACTICE using it. You might be injured, stressed, or otherwise challenged, and you want to know the tricks and techniques needed to operate the stove. Same with any survival tool. If you can't make it work, it's a doorstop, nothing more.
Jon Reese Yes! Any new equipment needs to be tested regularly so you remember how it works. It needs be in muscle memory and feel natural.
For example, I always pay close attention to the safety instructions on a plane. You think you know something after “hearing” it so many times, but most frequent flyers end up ignoring it. When an emergency happens and panic hits, you’re going to wish that the last time you paid attention wasn’t 5+ years ago.
we are all wishing we watched this back in 2017! everyone is running around the supermarkets clearing the shelves for this quarantine in NYC. thank you for the ideas :)
What was your thoughts when China was welding people into their apartment buildings in Wuhan in February? It was all over Fox News.
The stores will be replenished. The over buying has stopped here in LA and supplies are coming back.
I watched this a long time ago and have been working toward some emergency food inventory, home preserving of fresh produce (home grown) and becoming more self-sufficient. There is a vacuum sealer attachment used to store dry goods in mason jars to prevent moisture and insect damage, great for rice and beans. This lady also showed me how to can soups & meat, and its real tasty after processing.. The supermarkets are pure mayhem, I'm glad my efforts reduced this burden of having basic necessaries on hand.
Wonder why this is in my recommended list? Hmmmm
Benzo Effect Ha! So random, right?
Clear, concise common sense well articulated. Thank you for breaking it down and sharing!
i agree, i appreciate this video so much. i wish i had a basement but until then, a spare bedroom will suffice.
Also, a tip. Start NOW gathering supplies to start vegetables/fruits/herbs from seeds. It can be done anywhere in your home. If you’re successful, you’re then able to can the fruits for storage, eventually saving you money, and building your supply.
Biff Johnson food is going to take too long to grow in the current situation, but could be stored for the expected resurgence in the fall.
Allison Acosta I agree. But some food you can grow year-round indoors. And they might be the same foods that are hard to come by based on geographic location, supply, and availability (think about panic-purchasing).
Who is watching it due to recent scare of cornona virus.
Me lol but also for work
Nope. Been subbed for years.
Extremely informative video. Thank you for this! I found it a little funny when you said toilet paper is commonly overlooked, yet toilet paper is sold out in multiple stores in multiple countries, because it seems it's the only thing people buy.
They have more toilet paper than they do food to shit. Never underestimate the madness of crowds. I always buy multiples of the hugest 60 double roll I can find so I already had lots, but I never saw this coming. People wasting their cart space on toilet paper and lol bottled water, like this is a short term thing like a hurricane or waste spill.
None where I live.
Actually that is not the only thing they buy. A lot of things are sold out.
@@beegee1960 that's true. Frozen veggies, meats, bread, pasta is all dwindling
Excellent advice! I love this plan. I basically store much of my camping/ hiking gear down with my emergency storage, too. I bought a vacuum seal bag large enough to cover it in case of flooding and prevent must or mildew over time. It includes a little propane stove, sleeping gear, 10 essentials, emergency supplies, n90 mask, lighting, etc.
I keep a bar of Irish Spring soap at my pantry door. Mint repels rodents, spiders, and some bugs.
When I buy canned or bottled goods, I reach to the back of the shelf to find items with the longest expiration date. Experienced stockers put the newest items in back, oldest upfront... Just like a rotating pantry... oldest upfront to be used sooner. But I ALWAYS look at the dates to determine if the BB dates are long enough to use in long term storage.
This is to store grains and flour longer. You can put it in a deep freezer for 2 weeks and it will kill any of the bug eggs in it. Also it works on dried rice too. This is just a tip I do to help me keep flour and cornmeal longer.
Store grains in the freezer to prevent bug egg and bugs from forming. This is particularly important for rice.
Doris White awesome idea, I was wondering just today what to do with my rice. Thank you 😊
Shes talking about sickness and flu seasons in the past.
Welcome to 2020
We got a pressure canner and we're going to start experimenting with jarring up our food. Thanks to you and your beginners video. We just went thru hurricane Irma and I was so proud to be prepared for a family of 4 adults. From the car fuel to the plastic shoeboxes of ice in the freezer. But the storm took 6 days to get here and no one else prepared even with me warning them. So by the time the electric came back on, it was 12 days and I was fine except I couldn't handle all the whining and complaining from the other 3. We didn't get it as bad as a lot of people but I never want to go thru that again. More storms will come. With your help I'll be ready. Thank you.
Absolutely the best answer I've heard about the start of a working pantry. Another item I have been doing is saving seeds from my garden vegetables, letting them air dry and packaged in envelopes and stored in a cool dark space. Keep up the great videos. 🙏🏻🤗🤠🐓
You're right about baby steps and buying just a little more each time you go shopping. We keep a pantry inventory list in Google Keep so we can share the list with one another. Our pantry is only a one week working pantry but it expands little by little with every trip to the store.
I have a small apartment. I bought several real milk crates which are quite sturdy and stackable. I stacked 3 high, 2 wide against wall in small nook. They hold about 32 standard cans each or fewer if larger. Or, you can put 4- one gal water jugs in each. Strung small bungee cord through top of short box curtain and hooked on sides of crates to semi-conceal the set up. Placed board on top and covered with cloth. Better than flimsy apartment cabinets that cant hold anything. Since just cans for emergency, not worried about pests. Will get you through a season probably with a few other preps.
I had an old china cabinet that I was trying to sell, decided to keep it and use it for added storage of canned good, beans, veggies, soups, and other staples. I always keep my cupboards well stocked as well. Live in a 75 yr. old house/apaprtment with lots of cupboards and storage.
I really appreciate this channel's practical approach to prepping. The pros and cons are given without demonizing folks for choosing not to prep or getting MRE's etc. I also have a working pantry but there are somethings I need to work on and this channel has been a great help.
2017: Why would anybody need a prepper pantry?
2020: Oh...
😉
That's like... Your opinion man 😁
We started out with a three week pantry and now we have it up to three months.
Thanks so much for the mention!
The versatility, durability and portability of the firebox make it perfect for disaster readiness.
I look forward to seeing your perspective once you've had a chance to use the Firebox for a while.
I would be willing to bet the Firebox (using the Swedish fire-torch pre-fueling method) would match or exceed the BTU output of a rocket stove. It would also require less fire management so you can focus on the cooking. Cheers!
I think your stove would be an essential bug out bag item! Good product for survival when there isn't any pantry left!
I'm pretty sure that I could listen to you talking about this stuff all day long. Your videos are amazing 👍
Thanks for this video. I’ve just started prepping and my husband is board. After what happened during Katrina, Puerto Rico, and now the government shutdown its time I get serious. I’m starting slow, each paycheck I go and stock up. I’m focusing on items that can be eaten right out of the can due to our electricity -it goes out if the wind blows hard...lol.
I started slowly accumulating things almost a decade ago. I've got stuff hid everywhere. I've turned bookshelves into shelves for food and other items. If I wanted to put it all in one place, I'd need a 10' x 20' building with a lot of shelves. I also have a large chest type freezer and a upright freezer. When I bag meat, I lay them flat and let the freeze that way in the upright. When froze, they stack like slices of bread in the chest type freezer. It takes a bit of figuring out how to lay them to get them right but it doesn't take long.
Her advice on starting out small is great. Trying to go big can be overwhelming and discourage some. When I started, if I needed one can of something, I bought two. If I needed two, I bought three. It didn't take long to get to where I had several weeks of supplies.
The two biggest things, start small and rotate. Don't let items spoil because then you feel like and are wasting. There will always be some waste, something gets pushed back and isn't seen hiding back there until it smells, but that should be minimal.
Also, while people think ammo cans are only for ammo, that is not always the case. I store meds, spices and other items that need to stay dry in ammo cans with a couple silica-packs. I have a large ammo can full of sloppy joe and similar spice packs and such. Another ammo can has bottled spices in it.
Once you get started, it grows. It amazed me and I hope you will be amazed as well.
Thanks for the Spreadsheet. I love it. I do prep and this is an awesome way for me to calculate my stuff. This made my day!
Thank you, I love that you do your research. Thank you for the spreadsheet, these are great tools in seeing what you need. I also use one in tracking what I have for my 1 year pantry. In watching this I realize there are a few things that I use often that I don't have a year supply. Baking soda, baking powder, and a few of my baking needs. We store a lot of grains and I do have both and electric & hand mill (just in case no power). Great video.
Now, I'm trying to start a pantry in 3 weeks.
Great vid. I was just talking to someone the other day about having a wood stove for heat and being prepared in the winter in case we lose electricity. I said that I have about a 6 month supply of food and they looked at me like they couldn't believe it. So many people buy their groceries day by day or once a week.
I think I've gotten through almost half your videos the past two days since finding your channel. excellent content, especially the information on canning, and it's all practical self-reliance without any doom and gloom or end of the world crap. Much appreciated. Consider starting a patreon for those who wish to contribute financially to your enterprise and request special videos or get exclusive access.
We want to try and keep our content free, because it is those that can't afford it that usually need the information the most. If you wish to support our channel, there are 3 ways to do so in our description - two of them don't cost you a thing. We appreciate it!
The big challenge of building food storage--whether for a month or a year--is inventory tracking and rotation. So much waste can occur if you're not on top of things. And if you're serious about not wasting, you will need to also do meal planning. I used to keep a year's supply when I had a huge basement. I also kept 12 Sparklett's water cooler bottles filled in my basement. Management is really a chore.
So true. My friend at work grew up Mormon in Salt Lake City and they (Mormons) are all required to keep a 2-year pantry. They had a whole bedroom in their house that they used like a grocery store for everything. If they used something, they had to write it on the clipboard hanging in there and it would get replaced. I'd love to do this to at least a year scale one day.
@@hfortenberry I think, technically, Mormons are encouraged to work their way up to a year of food storage. I may be wrong. I grew up in the tradition but stopped participating as soon as I could...so there could be a new set of mandates. I kept at the food storage because it was kind of an impulse that probably came out of a big family and the Mormon tradition. And yeah: A clip board is essential to inventory control.
@@swicheroo1 I guess maybe it just depends on which church perhaps? She said they were required to have 2 years worth. Heck, maybe that's just what her parents told her. Idk. She was in Salt Lake City. She is about 62 so this was a long time ago.
Thank you so much! This is the MOST helpful prepped video I've seen. I'm not prepping for the zombie apocalypse...just wanting to get prepped in case this coronavirus causes shortages...for now anyway.
SAME!!!
So happy I found you!! You are thorough and clear!! I’m brand new to prepping and will use you as a constant resource. Thank you!
Welcome to the circus!
You folks have amazing videos, and right now, this one is SO timely!
prepper for 20 years and this is in my top 10 video's. Right to the point, make a plan, just prep what you eat, start short term like 3 weeks and if that works expand that. And all the rest you covert ofcoarse. I can tell you have a good time of prepping experience. I started without a lot of youtube info and learned the hard way by wasting a lot of food. Nowadays there is maybe to much info and hard to separate the wheat from the chaff, but this video is gold. 2 years old but right what it is about.
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge, and tips. I never really thought about any of this until Covid! Please don't stop sharing your wisdom. Love your homestead videos
Wow, that is an great example of high responsibility. Thank you very much for sharing!
Thank you, Thank you!! The spreadsheet is a ginormous help. Gracious
Keep green beans, alfalfa and soy bean seeds in Air tight jars. You can make sprouts in a matter of 2-4 days. Learn to preserve dried jerky meats when meats goes on sales. This will be so handy
Pandemic COVID-19 (2020) event possibly for 6 months. Crazy times!! Thank you for this video.
This spreadsheet is fantastic! You both are so generous to share this truly helpful information. You both walk the walk!
That you so much. This gives me a great starting point. Definitely taking notes.
thank you for all of the great advice! stay safe, positive and healthy!
Funny how the time keeps proving it's rewarding those who's are prepared. I came across this one one of your early canning videos a few years back, I really like the idea of being organized and be prepared for the worst possible situation so when it comes, you're not in a worsened situation because of the sudden change in everything.
I have a rotating/ working pantry of my own, started because of your videos, some have longer shelf life and others needs to be refrigerated, but again, I'm not in an area that's under constant threat of losing city grid power or water, so I didn't need to worry about keeping the shelf stable foods ratio high in my pantry, *_but man ain't I glad that I stumbled thru UA-cam saw your videos and watched almost all of them and patiently waiting for new updates, and one day decided I need to start my own working 3 week pantry because I believe in similar logic so it seems silly if I don't act on it._*
Thanks for making this videos when you did, hoping the new place, new farm, and new build is going as smooth as possible for you guys, all the best for the girls and their schools. See you on the other side of 2020 ;)
Thank you for sharing. This validates the thoughts i have on building up my prepper pantry. I'm just a starter and this video really helps. Love from the Philippines🇵🇭
perfect timing for this to show up in my suggested.
Great video as usual.
I could see one using this video to get others onboard with prepping. Very practical.
Great host thank you, speaks clearly at a terrific pace good energy too!
I've seen quite a few of your videos and must say you're an excellent presenter. Thanks for the Videos.
Hi Jamie. I'm a new subscriber and have been loving your videos! Homesteading, prepping and home videos all in one place!
I just love watching your videos!
Jamie, Thank you so much!! I have been building our pantry.
Your video is excellent. Just started buying and canning a lot of extras . So this was great.
Excellent video and pantry information, I also like that your videos are not all full of doom and gloom but focus on natural disasters. I am working on a 3 week working pantry.
I've checked out many prepper sites over the last 3 years and I feel yours is the best. ❤
My mum's generation, who lived through WW2 hoarded tins. She had loads of tins of butter beans, which she never ate, and after they'd been stored for years, some of them exploded. I always have jars of pesto, dried pasta, tea, coffee and some tins of soup and evaporated mil
I always say "eat what you store and store what you eat!!"
@@leal536 Right? People say to go get KD and ramen noodles but I don't eat that stuff. So I am just following the advice here and building off what I already have.
Any chance you could re-publish the pantry calculator spreadsheet?
Thanks for this! I'm learning so much from your videos!!
Why didn't UA-cam recommend this to me 3 weeks ago SMH
