    I have a 2 car garage. The door has not been opened in 15 years. All are preps are in there. It's real nice. Nobody knows what's in their. In the middle is my escape trailer. Fully equipped and ready to go. 5.5x10. I bought it new 7 years ago. It's never been outside since I bought it. 2 spares. You name it I bought it. Hope we never have to leave the house. But we are ready. No kids. This year I'm working on water. Have fun.

      Most people think they are crazy because misconceptions. You don't need to prep with guns and ammo or for the end of the world. A good prepared person will have Water and food for a month a good first aid kit and some other stuff like a cooking device if there's no power. Most people prep for large storms or if they see a trend of prices going up you might buy a few more of that item than normal.

      So true! My family thinks I prep out of fear, and therefore joke about me, but they do not understand that I do not fear anything. I just think its prudent to be prepared for anything, especially considering the unprecedented levels of sociopolitical issues, earthquakes, floods, gsm/solar activity...
      It just makes sense to respond appropriately to changes in ones environment.

    I don't know if it's already been mentioned, but in my experience it's best to take the rings off of the canning jars before storing them. Any little bits of moisture or food under the ring will rot and rust them, making them difficult to get off and often destroying them.
    Even without the ring, the lids aren't going to pop off unless they didn't seal properly, in which case it's better to know sooner rather than later.
    Gorgeous stockpile!!

    • @pennylaur7687
      @pennylaur7687 10 місяців тому +2

      Leaving rings on is a no no. If a lid unseals the lid can hold it in place, this giving the jar a ,false, seal. That food will not be safe.

    Nice stockpile! I have one tip for you. I’ve heard this several times, and I work at a grocery store. You must keep bottled water off of the concrete floor. It was hard to tell from the angle, if they had something underneath them. The concrete will contaminate the water. It’s like same reason you can’t leave bottle water in a hot car or space, it will also contaminate the water.

    • @TheCookFamilyHomestead
      @TheCookFamilyHomestead  4 роки тому +49

      Thanks for the advice! The water in the video is actually water we use a lot of. It will be used quickly. We have hard water here so we drink a lot of bottled water. But you are right....concrete isn't good for long term storage of water!

Rice is expensive there. Pasta is higher than Walmart. Start using your phone to compare prices. You could be paying WAY MORE! Bath gel, shampoo, bandaids are priced better than Walmart.

    I love my food pantry/storage. I put a basket on my arm and go shopping in my basement and pantry. Write what I take on a list, then go shopping to replace it. Twice a month I go to the grocery store and 80% of it goes straight to the storage and the back of the shelf so oldest is at the front to be chosen on the next foray to stock up the kitchen. If you keep a menu list it's easy to see what to bring up and what to replace, and you always have a good idea what's going to be for supper and you know what meats to take out of the freezer for today or tomorrow.
    Hint; keep heavy stuff like canning pots on the bottom and light stuff like paper towels on the top. That way, if you're in your basement for a tornado possible things falling will be light. who wants to get hit in the head by a bread machine!

For things on the shelfs I use a black sharpie to mark best by date. It just makes it easier to quickly see what is getting close and of coarse put the newest purchases in back.

So I’ll have tons more space soon and will buy more shampoo. I have a lot of bar soaps and hand wash.

Anything that comes in plastic with have a longer shelf life if you transfer it to glass. You can replace toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant all with baking soda. Dawn dish soap, vinegar and baking soda can replace most cleaning products. Peroxide, bleach and vinegar has a short shelf life.

    I recommend storing smaller bottles of sauces such as ketchup. Once opened, ketchup can sit up to a month without refrigeration. If power goes out, a generator only lasts as long as you have fuel.

      Agreed. We have a plan for power outage. Not 100% ready yet, but we will be soon. Right now we could go almost 2 weeks without any power and live comfortably.

    Well thought out Prepper pantry. Thought about prepping prior to Covid, but it took everyone's panic buying to get me going for real. I am now of the opinion that you can never prep too much. I know I'm good on canned meats, pasta, rice, canned veggies, instant coffee, sugar, TP, paper towels, Hand sanitizer, Hand soaps, etc. But I am sure I need to do more. Good on Ammo as well. Enjoyed this video.

      @@TheCookFamilyHomestead .. it's hard to store water. We buy bottles of water to drink but we only have a couple of 24 packs. I'm not sure what to do. Should I get a gallon of water and store it? We don't use that size so we would just keep. Do you know how long water in that size container is potable?

    Something i always do is "copy canning" basically whatever i use from my stockpile, i buy two of when i go shopping. So if i decide i want a spam sandwhich, ill open a can and buy 2 cans of spam when i go shopping. If i use 2 cans of soup, ill buy 4 etc.

      Great idea! We do similarity. When we use up one we will usually, not always, but usually replace it with 2.
