I have learned almost more from you than anyone in my 59+ years! I appreciate all the videos you have made and also for the different platforms, getting honest and helpful information! God bless you and your family this Christmas season and in the coming year.
Bentonite clay and apple cider vinegar mixed to a paste. Is the only thing i have found to take the itching out of things like; chiggers, bug stings,etc. You might have to re-apply after it dries. But, it is a life saver.
Hi Heidi. I've stocked up on elastic for bras/underwear and zippers...already have a lot of fabric. Underwear in the stores near me, within the last 4-5 years, wear out quickly. I wanted to make sure I could make some underwear, even if it's out of an old t-shirt. I do a lot of mending for people and zippers, especially in jackets, are a weakness and the most common "part" I mend. I stocked up on 21-25 inch jacket zippers and 9 inch jean zippers. Making soap is on the "to-learn" list...I have the ingredients and a mold just need to find time. Great list.
@@adm6785 I'm not sure. But, you could hand sew a zipper on. You might be able to pick up some zippers/thread sewing supplies at a thrift store or garage sale, it might be worth the time/effort to try to learn how to do it. It' really rewarding putting a zipper in.
@@utopicconfections5257 I can repair a dropped hem or fix a hole in socks, but that's it. I even have a sewing maching, but can't figure out the bobbin. It's pretty sad. lol. But you're right. It's worth the time to learn, so I'll get it out today and try again. Thanks!
Here's my list of things I have on hand... Shower sponges from Spongelle when they go on sale. They already have soap in them. Lasts for 14+ full showers, and the sponges makes a great addition to your cleaning supplies or scrubbing waterers when empty. They don't break down like regular sponges. I've been using the same sponge for cow/chicken waterers for at least 2yrs. Just wet and wash. It's small and lightweight for backpacks. Take out of box to pack. Sponges are sealed in plastic. Came in handy when our well went out. No water for 10 days! Used stored water for spot washing and a washcloth to rinse the important parts when I couldn't shower.😜 A small cup heater for our winter bags in case the car breaks down. The car battery should continue to work, unless that's the problem. It's for heating up instant coffee/tea/hot cocoa/cup of noodles....whatever. Plugs into a car cigarette lighter. Just dip into your cup, and voila! Hot in under a minute. Super cheap. Might be one out there that uses a C-port...idk. Small bottles of vodka or whatever for backpacks can also help warm you up. It'll at least make you not care that you're cold. 🤣 A cordless car tire inflater that's only 3x5 inches. Bought mine on Temu for around $24. Tested it out on 2 of our completely flat, John Deere gator tires. Worked great!!! Still had over 95% charge. Has attachments to fill other things that need air. Uses a C-port to charge. A cordless hand sized car battery jumper. Also uses a C-port to charge, so a battery bank is good to have in case of no power. Can also jump my Generac since it uses a car battery. Contractor bags and duct tape to cover shoes and legs to prevent wet shoes and clothing. Also works as a poncho if you cut the corner. Plastic sealed eating utensils you can get for free at fast food places. Wash your styrofoam cups and lids when you get coffee out. Theyre lightweight making them easy to carry. Stuff with small baggie of dry drinks, sugar, powdered creamer, and top with spare socks so it wont crush in a bag. Vitamin B COMPLEX (not just B12,) along with an1cc sticker tubes w/jabbie part permanently attached. Same kind used around the farm. They're also used by diabetics. Great to have if food ever gets scarce or I have to exert more energy than I'm used to. Gives me and my animals energy, including chickens at critical times. You want to keep those hens laying if feed becomes sub-par. Made in the same place as for humans, but WAY cheaper! I prefill a few, then rap bottom part in saran wrap to prevent leaks, then foil to keep away sunlight, then sandwich baggies for get home winter bags, and bug out bags kept indoors. I'm not a doctor, but can tell you I used it daily when first diagnosed with celiac. My doctor was aware. It was a game changer! If bottle is kept in a doubled small paper bag in the back of the fridge's veggie compartment, it'll go 2+yrs after expiration date, or buy a new bottle if it makes you feel better. Use anywhere where you have fat like stomach or butt. I dab a bit of vaseline on the rubber part to keep from dry cracking. Clean top w/alcohol or vodka before every use. I have other "weird" things, but this post is already way too long. Sorry about that.
Hello❗️I read your entire comment & found ways to do a couple of things l hadn’t thought of, so THANK YOU for taking the time to think of & write a list providing some details for how to use your ideas. It was thoughtful, kind… appreciated. 😃👍🏼🙂
I’m 73, just diagnosed with celiac, is the B-complex injected and do you get it at farm supply or online? Thank you for all the wonderful hints, very helpful.
Don’t forget Bibles! Amos 8:11- “Behold the days are coming,” says the Lord God, that I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the words of the Lord.” HalleluYah! Edit- This is the first time I’ve ever seen your channel- I just saw your yt on Yeshua! Praise the Lord- He freed me from 42 yrs in the New Age! He freed me from 24yrs of Dr prescribed hvy opiates for crippling spinal diseases that even a 12 hour reconstructive surgery failed to do -on 4/26/2018. Immersed on 7/10/2018 and unyoked from a 45 yr satanically conceived marriage on 9/12/2019. Can you imagine being born again at 65?! He Healed my body, mind and spirit! Amazing grace!
Yes. We cannot take the Bible for granted. I buy Bibles & give them to people who want a changed life in Jesus. Jesus does not disappoint & life is short. #never2late
Some things I would add to the list are: Salt, honey and sprouting seeds. The salt and honey, beyond nutrition, are useful for wound healing and illness. I am stocking up on sprouting seeds because if we have famine we may not be able to grow food outside because of pests, or humans stealing. Something that can be grown on the kitchen bench will ensure I can still have fresh vegetables. I also ensure I have a good stock of buckets for growing portable food crops.
Most veggies require good drainage, so you would need holes in the bottom of the buckets and large suckers under them for transport unless you are transporting in a truck bed.
I know it’s a small part but when bras wear out I cut off the fabric that has the hooks and eyes. I leave them on the fabric to store. Keeps them easy to find. Can also be used as an extender since it’s already on fabric.
Excellent idea! I use the elastic band from my husband's underwear he wants to throw out to make my own sports bras. I use my old tank tops that fit in the top but not in the bottom. I actually prefer them over store-bought bras. I think someday I'd like to make those little tops that Heidi makes for an under top/bra. I forget what she calls it.
Activated charcoal also. It can be used to filter chemicals from water. And it can be taken orally in the event of overdose and can help absorb toxins released by bacteria in food poisoning. It's a very useful item to have for emergencies.
@@ciel1271 I have a very old wool quilt with: top, battinng and back. String tied off. The squares are 7 " or 8". The fabric is old wool suits, shirts and jackets. The squares are thin, quilt is nice weight, washable and very warm.
Got it: 6 tubs of fabric, old flannel sheets, 3 lbs of baking soda, 6 lbs of coconut oil, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, vodka, an old treadle sewing machine and much much more of non food items
My daughter made me a mixture of bentonite clay. We have a lot of wasps around the corrals My husband was bitten by a wasp and the clay took the ouch out of the bite and he had minimal swelling! But you need to put it on asap !
I don’t want to hoard cuz I can be pretty good at it. I do recommend hoarding seeds. I use my focus on that and fabric. Both of which require me to be frugal as far as heirloom seed rotation and viability testing and not save seed that had a strong chance of cross pollination. Not that it hasn’t happened. Fabric uggg is a challenge. Now I look for bolts on sale of heavy cotton, linen and wool. Old wool suits and coats in great condition with no signs of moths or other critters from thrift stores; which is rare nowadays. Thanks for the motivation again Heidi.☀️👩🌾🌱🪡🧵🧶
I stock up on white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and towels. Towels are great for so many things and once they wear out a bit, they are still good for rags. I use white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide for cleaning. When I find wool blankets at a good price, I buy them. I like having at least one in the car at all times. I buy sheets, curtains and table cloths at second hand shops. One can also often find fabric at a good price at these shops. I have a good stash of buttons and fasteners, so I can repair clothing.
Thanks, Heidi. I have been stocking up on flannel and muslin and cotton fabric. I made footwarmers for Christmas gifts this year. O have a stash of alcohol for bartering and making tinctures and extracts. I told the people at Total Wine that I make tinctures and extracts, that I'm not a lush!! I don't even dtink!! Lol. They just laughed. Thanks gor sharing with us. I have most of what you suggested, need to try yo locate activated charcoal, although I believe I have that clay. Quite a few years ago there was a fad using the play and vinegar with the mother in in.. I think a facial scrub, early 2000s. Remember? God bless. Stay safe.
Great ideas Heidi!! 💚 I like having extra needles and threads, zip ties and duck tape for repairs. Also mineral oil and wax to waterproof old sheets for tarps or jackets. 🕊🌻💚
Merry Christmas! I loved the linen idea. I never thought to use it as a bandage. Old t-shirts for tournquets was also insightful. Stockpiling coconut oil is top of my list. It is the oil we cook with.
I've started buying the LARGEST wool men's suits I can find at Thrift Stores. It started as gathering fabric for a historical sewing project. But I abandoned that and began to realize in a "grid down" situation... fabric with which to make new clothes would be vital. Also, sewing thread. And knowledge of how to make clothing without elastic. We can scavenge zippers, buttons, hooks & eyes. But knowing about ties & drawstrings is good. Knowing a little about historical clothing might give ideas on making clothing. There are books. ...of course, go for the simpler clothing. They possessed ingenious knowledge way back when.
But, what to do about thread? It doesn't last forever without rotting or just disintegrating. Maybe Heidi could help with that. Perhaps different types of thread require different storage methods. 🤔 In any case, we'd definitely need it!
I have bought thread on wooden spools from secondhand stores, and it is in perfectly good sewing condition. A lot of them are the mercerized type of thread. They’re very sturdy.
@sherilancaster2514 A dear lady from church gave me one of those wooden things that hangs on the wall. It has those spindles (name?) on them for display. Anyway, you can barely pick up an end of the thread because it just comes off in pieces. Idk what kind of thread it is or how old it is. I may use it in some junk journaling. I will cherish it, though, as she has gone on to meet the Lord.
Recently my sewing machine was acting up. My husband and I are pretty handy but after oiling and cleaning it, it still had problems. I called the sewing repair shop and they wanted $24.95 to look at it and $120.00/HR plus parts! We utilized several UA-cam videos and together were able to repair it ourselves and it runs beautifully! First note, make sure your sewing machine has been serviced or become familiar with how to do it yourself. Second, several of the gentlemen explaining repairs especially pertaining to tension stated buying only high quality thread. Cheap thread breaks down and the fibers can wreak havoc with your machine.
@lindarich7346 Yes! My Mama told me to never skimp on thread. I try to buy only Guterman. Also, Bob Fowler has great videos on sewing machine repair. Although, I think it might be only the vintage treadle ones.
Thank you, Heidi! I've been making my own tooth powder using Bentonite clay for probably 6 years, and I haven't needed to go to the dentist since. My teeth felt so much better within a week or two--I couldn't believe it! I keep supplies around for making lotion, lip balm, tooth powder, and deodorant. Someone I talked to said, "But it's so expensive!" Well, at first, yes, but consider how little you need for a batch that lasts you how long? Anyway, I wanted you to know I made my first batch of natural skin care cream this past weekend, and I LOVE it! Thank you for sharing that recipe! Right after the holidays I plan to make vinegar for my hair. I tried to start it before Thanksgiving and it got away from me 😟
This was a great video! I've been prepping for over a decade. We went all the way 2 years ago, and started a little homestead in a small town. I thought i had it all, WOW! Much appreciated, sister 🙏🙏🙏
. Fabric, and fabric leftovers can even be from older clothes. Flannel. . The basics for making tinctures and extracts . Lye, soap making supplies . Baking soda, basically essential, many uses . Cream of tartar . Activated charcoal . Bentonite clay
I have all of this but you just broadned my mind on more uses. We live in the mountains so I never throw away cotton or flannel. Have everything you mentioned and more. I also use baking soda and Redmond 's sea salt with benonatite clay for detoxing baths, and with my toothpaste for all the properties. GREAT video. Thank you, just found you and subscribed and sharing.
@MariaHernandez-rc2eq Almost Happy New Year to you. I use Redmond. They sell it in a 6lb bucket. I buy that and Redmond sea salt which is like a 10lb bag I believe from Redmond Life out of Heber City Utah. It is a unrefined mineral sea salt that comes from a ancient deposit near Redmond Utah. www.redmond.life
Good to know I already have most if not all of these. I would also add peroxide, tea tree oil and Vaseline or homemade herbal salve to cover and protect minor cuts and wounds.
Black strapped molasses and dark maple syrup are natural sweeteners and high in iron. Unopened, they don't expire on the pantry shelf. I have to purchase replacement flashlights constantly because of the effect the humidity has on the batteries. I live in a subtropical climate and the batteries start to corrode in as little as 12 months in spite of air conditioning. 😮
Bentonite clay saved my dogs life after she ate a whole bag of those green, rat poison blocks. When mixed with milk, it looks like yogurt. My dog never got sick.
I buy 90%or greater isopropyl alcohol everytime I go shopping as it is cheap in the toiletry department and is a cheap replacement for lamp oil. The higher % in alcohol is to avoid sputtering.
My husband has me signed up for "destash groups" on FB... which we only use for marketplace items... and someone was destashing some beautiful flower patterned flannel and I tried to get it for you, but I missed it. Someone else got a pretty nice sized hull of some beautiful flannel for a great price. I'm sticking to mending and crocheting. My sewing skills are not great. 😂
Coffee, tea, nicotine (I grow my own, don't smoke but good for bartering), pharmaceuticals like advil and tylenol (don't use that either, but if really stuck) chocolate, hydrosols (also make my own) batteries, candles (not soy if you can help it) and WATER. I also believe in use what you got, so, everyone can do something. Thank you Heidi!
@@strawberry55555 ‘no soy candles’?? I had plans to mix soy with beeswax for candles… (may add generic crisco as well) I bought the cotton mop heads from the dollar tree to use as cotton wicks in mason jars… Would love to better understand why you say no to soy
@@soniamarshall9293 I live in northern Michigan, and we get some pretty nasty, cold weather. Large knit cotton and wool sweaters are always worth keeping. Wool sweaters make great mittens, and keeps its warmth, even when wet. Have unraveled large yarn sweaters and reknit /repurposed them. Have also made ‘yarn’ strips out of good T-shirts and crocheted baskets, scarves and hats.🌻🧶😍
Hedi. I love your platform God is blessing you. I thought i might add to your list. Books ...first aid, canning, foraging, bread making, gardening ,fishing,hunting, composting, maps, how to clean water. I know at some point we may have trouble in our power so if phone don't work books will and a Mr. Buddy heater at least 2 per house. Its winter survival books too! Most important book the BIBLE....be blessed 🙌
I use baking soda and vinegar too clean my stove top and a straight razor scraper then soaked the burnt on foods and greases and it worked like a charm. I even use vinegar and baking soda too clean sink then the drains.
I have made my own baking powder for years--but I won't any longer. Thanks to this video, I will just have a jar of baking soda and a jar of cream of tartar--both pretty ones!, on my counter and use them as needed. I use stiffly beaten egg whites in my gf bread, so it will be doubly useful to have the cream of tartar handy. Thanks.
Heidi this is so helpful. I would love a short video series on how to make Vinegar and Wine from scratch with what we have on hand. Those are two things that are so important and are hard to stock that much of. I do not know how to make them, or at least how to know when it's strong enough for their specific uses. Thank you so much!!
I have a great many videos on making vinegar but here is the most thorough one: ua-cam.com/video/XQ2O-pt1EVs/v-deo.html And here is my wine making series: ua-cam.com/play/PLzVtTPDzFPKFtB45ulnLxFmo0mPdd23wq.html
another great video. ive been watching your channel for many years - definitely in my top 5 of all categories. thank you for sharing such valuable information. greatly appreciated.
Thank You! Really good info, I’ve gotten all of the food pieces in place and just got my aeroponic tower garden. Will set it up soon. I’d love it if you’d do a video on the the top 5 or 10 medical plants you’d recommend growing and how you prepare and use them. When I lived in the tropics and had a hurricane kit. I found some large syringes with plastic tubing. I have some dental work that I need a water pic to keep clean. The syringes are an alternative way to keep those areas flushed out, when there is no power.
Hello, Heidi! Haven’t seen you in few years- glad to see you’re looking well! I was wondering how you’re doing. Times of troubles are ramping up and we have to be even more diligent! I’ve lost my husband and Dad in the last 3 years, and my spinal stenosis has gotten much worse. Am praying more for our government, now more ! May God bless you keep you!
Add salt, honey collagen to the list for wound healing. Saline wet to dry bandaging for uncomplicated wounds Honey has anti- fungal and antibacterial properties. Try aloe and collagen for complicated or non- healing wounds, too.
Thank you for the info. Was happy to have all of these. I hoard fabric it’s my vice. You always have great content. I think you must live on the peninsula. I’m on the east side of the e cascades. God bless
Ok, I admit, I've never considered the ingredient list on a tub of Baking Powder. That said, went to make some flat breads last night, remembered using all the baking powder the night before & then randomly passing thru a room of 'stuff' I saw a tub sitting atop the old, unused water heater and it took a second to register in my brain, did a double take & realized although I "see" this tub sitting there every day, literally for years, I haven't actually *SEEN it, ya know? Anyhoo, turned out to be Wal-Mart baking powder, I was so excited then checked, expired 2014! lol but, when in need... it was still powder-y, no smell, so I gave it a go & made the most fluffy soft and squishy flat breads ever. All that said, I just looked at the ingredients, huh, interesting... Sodium Bicarbonate Corn Starch Monocalcium Phosphate- which I've never heard of before. * also, never knew what to do with the little thing of Cream of Tatar in the pantry, so thanks!
I’ve read that freshly opened baking powder works best. So that’s probably why the “old” unopened package worked so well. Maybe also, why she makes her own fresh each time.
@jenbear8652 true, tho I think more than the fact it worked at all, I was surprised & impressed with the packaging. Being just one of those foil lined cardboard tubes with the plastic shaker top,, and having lived thru a decade of freezing/ blazing temps and year round 80%+ humidity, that it wasn't a solid block inside was rather shocking. But I will be making it from now on as well.
I have been using Flannel AND Linen to wrap my leg most of this year. I have made observations around using Linen for bandages! I hate it! Explanation: my leg was Weeping. I am trying to get it to Stop and Dry. With my type of problem, my leg hates being chilled. Yes, the Linen helps air out the leg. But it also holds onto the wetness, my leg chills, the deep bone ache begins! The Flannel is better in my case. It holds a little more body heat, thus I have way less ache!
I, also have leaking legs, along with eczema. I buy flat flannel sheets at the thrift store and cut them into strips which I wrap my feet and legs in to absorb the fluid.
I have learned almost more from you than anyone in my 59+ years! I appreciate all the videos you have made and also for the different platforms, getting honest and helpful information! God bless you and your family this Christmas season and in the coming year.
I totally agree! Merry Christmas!

Mung bean grow in a cupboard in dark.

Most veggies require good drainage, so you would need holes in the bottom of the buckets and large suckers under them for transport unless you are transporting in a truck bed.

My daughter made me a mixture of bentonite clay. We have a lot of wasps around the corrals My husband was bitten by a wasp and the clay took the ouch out of the bite and he had minimal swelling! But you need to put it on asap !
Baking soda and water paste on a sting helps too. If it is a Texas wasp, pull out the stinger first.
I don’t want to hoard cuz I can be pretty good at it. I do recommend hoarding seeds. I use my focus on that and fabric. Both of which require me to be frugal as far as heirloom seed rotation and viability testing and not save seed that had a strong chance of cross pollination. Not that it hasn’t happened. Fabric uggg is a challenge. Now I look for bolts on sale of heavy cotton, linen and wool. Old wool suits and coats in great condition with no signs of moths or other critters from thrift stores; which is rare nowadays. Thanks for the motivation again Heidi.☀️👩🌾🌱🪡🧵🧶
I stock up on white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and towels. Towels are great for so many things and once they wear out a bit, they are still good for rags. I use white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide for cleaning. When I find wool blankets at a good price, I buy them. I like having at least one in the car at all times. I buy sheets, curtains and table cloths at second hand shops. One can also often find fabric at a good price at these shops. I have a good stash of buttons and fasteners, so I can repair clothing.
Thanks, Heidi. I have been stocking up on flannel and muslin and cotton fabric. I made footwarmers for Christmas gifts this year. O have a stash of alcohol for bartering and making tinctures and extracts. I told the people at Total Wine that I make tinctures and extracts, that I'm not a lush!! I don't even dtink!! Lol. They just laughed. Thanks gor sharing with us. I have most of what you suggested, need to try yo locate activated charcoal, although I believe I have that clay. Quite a few years ago there was a fad using the play and vinegar with the mother in in.. I think a facial scrub, early 2000s. Remember? God bless. Stay safe.
Heidi, so grateful I found your channel! Thank you so much, appreciate you! Blessings🙏🏼❤️🌅✨
Great ideas Heidi!! 💚
I like having extra needles and threads, zip ties and duck tape for repairs. Also mineral oil and wax to waterproof old sheets for tarps or jackets. 🕊🌻💚
Merry Christmas! I loved the linen idea. I never thought to use it as a bandage. Old t-shirts for tournquets was also insightful. Stockpiling coconut oil is top of my list. It is the oil we cook with.
I've started buying the LARGEST wool men's suits I can find at Thrift Stores. It started as gathering fabric for a historical sewing project. But I abandoned that and began to realize in a "grid down" situation... fabric with which to make new clothes would be vital. Also, sewing thread. And knowledge of how to make clothing without elastic. We can scavenge zippers, buttons, hooks & eyes. But knowing about ties & drawstrings is good. Knowing a little about historical clothing might give ideas on making clothing. There are books. ...of course, go for the simpler clothing. They possessed ingenious knowledge way back when.
But, what to do about thread? It doesn't last forever without rotting or just disintegrating. Maybe Heidi could help with that. Perhaps different types of thread require different storage methods. 🤔 In any case, we'd definitely need it!
I have bought thread on wooden spools from secondhand stores, and it is in perfectly good sewing condition. A lot of them are the mercerized type of thread. They’re very sturdy.
@sherilancaster2514 A dear lady from church gave me one of those wooden things that hangs on the wall. It has those spindles (name?) on them for display. Anyway, you can barely pick up an end of the thread because it just comes off in pieces. Idk what kind of thread it is or how old it is. I may use it in some junk journaling. I will cherish it, though, as she has gone on to meet the Lord.
Recently my sewing machine was acting up. My husband and I are pretty handy but after oiling and cleaning it, it still had problems. I called the sewing repair shop and they wanted $24.95 to look at it and $120.00/HR plus parts! We utilized several UA-cam videos and together were able to repair it ourselves and it runs beautifully! First note, make sure your sewing machine has been serviced or become familiar with how to do it yourself. Second, several of the gentlemen explaining repairs especially pertaining to tension stated buying only high quality thread. Cheap thread breaks down and the fibers can wreak havoc with your machine.
@lindarich7346 Yes! My Mama told me to never skimp on thread. I try to buy only Guterman. Also, Bob Fowler has great videos on sewing machine repair. Although, I think it might be only the vintage treadle ones.
I use my old fabrics for shopping bags or making a skirt or aprons or sew together to make a light blankets for babies as their soft or pet blankets.
Thank you, Heidi! I've been making my own tooth powder using Bentonite clay for probably 6 years, and I haven't needed to go to the dentist since. My teeth felt so much better within a week or two--I couldn't believe it! I keep supplies around for making lotion, lip balm, tooth powder, and deodorant. Someone I talked to said, "But it's so expensive!" Well, at first, yes, but consider how little you need for a batch that lasts you how long? Anyway, I wanted you to know I made my first batch of natural skin care cream this past weekend, and I LOVE it! Thank you for sharing that recipe! Right after the holidays I plan to make vinegar for my hair. I tried to start it before Thanksgiving and it got away from me 😟
Where do you get your Bentonite clay & what's your recipe for deodorant?
Please share your tooth powder recipe as well. Thank you
Recipe for your toothpaste powder please, and thank you
Loved this and I learned. This is what I love about your videos. Appreciate all that you do for us. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Heidi, you are a never-ending spring of information. You delivery it well 🎉
This was a great video! I've been prepping for over a decade. We went all the way 2 years ago, and started a little homestead in a small town. I thought i had it all, WOW! Much appreciated, sister 🙏🙏🙏
Great information! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Heidi! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
Godspeed!
. Fabric, and fabric leftovers
can even be from older clothes. Flannel.
. The basics for making tinctures and extracts
. Lye, soap making supplies
. Baking soda, basically essential, many uses
. Cream of tartar
. Activated charcoal
. Bentonite clay
Thank you for this wonderful information!!!! Merry Christmas, Heidi!!!
You are such a blessing. Thanks for sharing with us. God bless
I have all of this but you just broadned my mind on more uses.
We live in the mountains so I never throw away cotton or flannel. Have everything you mentioned and more.
I also use baking soda and Redmond 's sea salt with benonatite clay for detoxing baths, and with my toothpaste for all the properties. GREAT video. Thank you, just found you and subscribed and sharing.
Hello! What kind of bentonite clay do you recommend me ? Thank you in advance! and Happy New Year!!!
@MariaHernandez-rc2eq Almost Happy New Year to you.
I use Redmond. They sell it in a 6lb bucket. I buy that and Redmond sea salt which is like a 10lb bag I believe from Redmond Life out of Heber City Utah. It is a unrefined mineral sea salt that comes from a ancient deposit near Redmond Utah.

Good info, thanks❤🙏
Great video! Thank you. I happened to notice that my Aldi brought back the coconut oil in glass jars! That made me so happy.
I use coconut oil as a face moisturiser and it works well
Good to know I already have most if not all of these. I would also add peroxide, tea tree oil and Vaseline or homemade herbal salve to cover and protect minor cuts and wounds.
Black strapped molasses and dark maple syrup are natural sweeteners and high in iron. Unopened, they don't expire on the pantry shelf. I have to purchase replacement flashlights constantly because of the effect the humidity has on the batteries. I live in a subtropical climate and the batteries start to corrode in as little as 12 months in spite of air conditioning. 😮
@@topaz3468 try putting your batteries in the refrigerator
Will look up the bentonite clay videos for sure..I don’t see but my hubby can. He’s pretty handy & I hope he’s around for a very long time!
Bentonite clay saved my dogs life after she ate a whole bag of those green, rat poison blocks. When mixed with milk, it looks like yogurt. My dog never got sick.
I have several glass oil lamps. You can still buy wicks and oil. Good if electricity goes off. Sometimes you can find them at garage or estate sales.
The majority of my oil lamps I have found second hand and I love that
I buy 90%or greater isopropyl alcohol everytime I go shopping as it is cheap in the toiletry department and is a cheap replacement for lamp oil. The higher % in alcohol is to avoid sputtering.
Isn’t it dirty burning and hard on your lungs and bronchial tube?
God Is Good All The Time by providing channels like yours. You have help me in more ways than you know. Thank you and God Bless😊
My husband has me signed up for "destash groups" on FB... which we only use for marketplace items... and someone was destashing some beautiful flower patterned flannel and I tried to get it for you, but I missed it. Someone else got a pretty nice sized hull of some beautiful flannel for a great price. I'm sticking to mending and crocheting. My sewing skills are not great. 😂
Keep practicing and you'll be amazed at the gradual improvement. :)
Coffee, tea, nicotine (I grow my own, don't smoke but good for bartering), pharmaceuticals like advil and tylenol (don't use that either, but if really stuck) chocolate, hydrosols (also make my own) batteries, candles (not soy if you can help it) and WATER. I also believe in use what you got, so, everyone can do something. Thank you Heidi!
I am curious as to what is bad about soy candles? I thought they burn cleaner than parafin?
@@strawberry55555 ‘no soy candles’??
I had plans to mix soy with beeswax for candles… (may add generic crisco as well) I bought the cotton mop heads from the dollar tree to use as cotton wicks in mason jars…
Would love to better understand why you say no to soy
I agree with the others, why not soy candles?
Yes save those cotton things. I have clothes for years , not nice enough to give away but could not trash. Now I know it is not hoarding😂
I used them as liners in homemade crochets face covers in 2020. T shirt cloth is good liners for mittens and such too.
Menstrual pads.
@@soniamarshall9293 I live in northern Michigan, and we get some pretty nasty, cold weather. Large knit cotton and wool sweaters are always worth keeping. Wool sweaters make great mittens, and keeps its warmth, even when wet. Have unraveled large yarn sweaters and reknit /repurposed them. Have also made ‘yarn’ strips out of good T-shirts and crocheted baskets, scarves and hats.🌻🧶😍
Great idea
@@suzannebinsley5940 grandma made shoe liners quilted
Hedi. I love your platform God is blessing you. I thought i might add to your list. Books ...first aid, canning, foraging, bread making, gardening ,fishing,hunting, composting, maps, how to clean water. I know at some point we may have trouble in our power so if phone don't work books will and a Mr. Buddy heater at least 2 per house. Its winter survival books too! Most important book the BIBLE....be blessed 🙌
Amen!
Thank you for this video. I always learn so much. God Bless ❤
Thank you Heidi. 🙂
Yup all that! Great ideas about the spirits. That's one I don't keep on hand.
Blessings! 💜
Hi Heidi, God is good all the time. Hallelujah.
Enjoy learning from you. Thanks.
I use baking soda and vinegar too clean my stove top and a straight razor scraper then soaked the burnt on foods and greases and it worked like a charm. I even use vinegar and baking soda too clean sink then the drains.
Thanks Heidi!!
Shalom
Heidi, thanks for sharing as I have been enjoying your videos and learn a lot , I am turning 79 the day after Christmas.

Merry Christmas.
Yes, keep em coming, please. Merry Christmas!
I lost you for awhile! So glad I found you again!!❤❤❤ sure missed your videos!!!!!
I just happened to come upon your video. I loved all your information! Thank you! ❤
I have made my own baking powder for years--but I won't any longer. Thanks to this video, I will just have a jar of baking soda and a jar of cream of tartar--both pretty ones!, on my counter and use them as needed. I use stiffly beaten egg whites in my gf bread, so it will be doubly useful to have the cream of tartar handy. Thanks.
Thank you, Heidi!❤😊
I always forget that bentonite clay and activated charcoal remove heavy metals! Thanks for the reminder! 😊
Oh yeah, I forgot I have that.
How do you use these?

Wow, I haven't been able to find u. I'm so happy I finally did. Merry Christmas. God Bless you and ur family. 🙏❤️🇺🇲
Thank you so much! Your a god send🙏🏽
Yes please-love this topic!
Thank you Heidi for your wisdom and practicality, as I truly appreciate all I learn from you. God bless.
Heidi this is so helpful. I would love a short video series on how to make Vinegar and Wine from scratch with what we have on hand.
Those are two things that are so important and are hard to stock that much of. I do not know how to make them, or at least how to know when it's strong enough for their specific uses.
Thank you so much!!
I have a great many videos on making vinegar but here is the most thorough one: ua-cam.com/video/XQ2O-pt1EVs/v-deo.html
And here is my wine making series: ua-cam.com/play/PLzVtTPDzFPKFtB45ulnLxFmo0mPdd23wq.html
Thank you ! Thank you ! I was so happy when I saw this today . I need to stock a few more items .
Thank you for sharing this ❤
Great information as usual. Thank you
another great video.
ive been watching your channel for many years - definitely in my top 5 of all categories.
thank you for sharing such valuable information. greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for this information. I have learned a lot of new things that I did not know.
For the algo😊
But i have bins of fabric, some still from my sister, i have to hold back on fabric!!!! Need to finally tackle the soap making......😂
Wonderful idea for a continuing series! Love your ideas and explanations. ❣️
Thank You! Really good info, I’ve gotten all of the food pieces in place and just got my aeroponic tower garden. Will set it up soon.
I’d love it if you’d do a video on the the top 5 or 10 medical plants you’d recommend growing and how you prepare and use them.
When I lived in the tropics and had a hurricane kit. I found some large syringes with plastic tubing. I have some dental work that I need a water pic to keep clean. The syringes are an alternative way to keep those areas flushed out, when there is no power.
I do a vide like that every couple of years, here is the last one I did: ua-cam.com/video/9Rjxh6btXLo/v-deo.html
Thanks for sharing those basics
Great original content. Thanks. I always try and stock up the cheapest bottle of spirits in glass bottles, not plastic for long term storage.
Right, I hate that a lot of the cheap stuff comes in plastic
Love your videos. Yes please keep letting us know what other things to store.
Thank you for the information, YOUR GREAT.!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Hello, Heidi! Haven’t seen you in few years- glad to see you’re looking well! I was wondering how you’re doing. Times of troubles are ramping up and we have to be even more diligent! I’ve lost my husband and Dad in the last 3 years, and my spinal stenosis has gotten much worse. Am praying more for our government, now more ! May God bless you keep you!
Sorry for your loss!
I appreciate your channel greatly. Thank you for being a knowledge sharer. This information is so valuable.
Merry Christmas, Heidi!
Remember sewing thread and needles for those fabrics.
Yep, all covered in the Arts and Crafts Preparedness video :)
Thank you so much for the Wonderful info.. Happy New Year to you and your family❤❤❤
Add salt, honey collagen to the list for wound healing.
Saline wet to dry bandaging for uncomplicated wounds Honey has anti- fungal and antibacterial properties. Try aloe and collagen for complicated or non- healing wounds, too.
Great ideas I never thought about to stock up on for hard times.
Great information Heidi! I always love your trips and tricks. Wishing you the greatest Blessings this Christmas
You had me at fabrics! 😂❤❤
Thank you for the info. Was happy to have all of these. I hoard fabric it’s my vice. You always have great content. I think you must live on the peninsula. I’m on the east side of the e cascades. God bless
💖Thank you Heidi! Happy blessed New Year!💫
Thank you! I learn so much from you. You're amazing!!
yes appreciate all your great information you share. Thank you 🙂
Merry Christmas Heidi ❤ Enjoy this day with your love ones ❤😊❤
Thanks Rain Country for all the information 😊
Thanks so much...
Ok, I admit, I've never considered the ingredient list on a tub of Baking Powder.
That said, went to make some flat breads last night, remembered using all the baking powder the night before & then randomly passing thru a room of 'stuff' I saw a tub sitting atop the old, unused water heater and it took a second to register in my brain, did a double take & realized although I "see" this tub sitting there every day, literally for years, I haven't actually *SEEN it, ya know? Anyhoo, turned out to be Wal-Mart baking powder, I was so excited then checked, expired 2014! lol but, when in need... it was still powder-y, no smell, so I gave it a go & made the most fluffy soft and squishy flat breads ever.
All that said, I just looked at the ingredients, huh, interesting...
Sodium Bicarbonate
Corn Starch
Monocalcium Phosphate- which I've never heard of before.
* also, never knew what to do with the little thing of Cream of Tatar in the pantry, so thanks!
I’ve read that freshly opened baking powder works best. So that’s probably why the “old” unopened package worked so well. Maybe also, why she makes her own fresh each time.
@jenbear8652 true, tho I think more than the fact it worked at all, I was surprised & impressed with the packaging. Being just one of those foil lined cardboard tubes with the plastic shaker top,, and having lived thru a decade of freezing/ blazing temps and year round 80%+ humidity, that it wasn't a solid block inside was rather shocking.
But I will be making it from now on as well.
So much good information. Thanks for sharing
Oh!! Some of these I haven’t thought of. Thank you! ❤
Hey JaTon, I do not think I have seen you comment in some time. Hope you are doing well!
Just turned on all notifications, good to see you..
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Thanks, Heidi! I am pleased to hear this list as I already have a nice supply of all these items. ✅ Next!
I have been using Flannel AND Linen to wrap my leg most of this year. I have made observations around using Linen for bandages!
I hate it!
Explanation: my leg was Weeping. I am trying to get it to Stop and Dry. With my type of problem, my leg hates being chilled. Yes, the Linen helps air out the leg. But it also holds onto the wetness, my leg chills, the deep bone ache begins! The Flannel is better in my case. It holds a little more body heat, thus I have way less ache!
I, also have leaking legs, along with eczema. I buy flat flannel sheets at the thrift store and cut them into strips which I wrap my feet and legs in to absorb the fluid.
You got me on what sterilizer for surfaces you can't mention on YouT (4:40) The rest of the list makes great sense.
Initials are CS
I’ve been dry canning granola to add to oatmeal
Love learning all the new things from you you are amazing
