27:27 “you never know...toilet paper could be the most valuable thing on the planet...who knows...” -Bubba Page 😂He was not kidding!!!! How’d he know? Go Bubba! 🥰
Okay, I am literally so prepared for Covid because I watched this YEARS AGO and decided so slowly make my pantry ready. Over Christmas this year I realised I wasn't doing a good of eating through my pantry so we made our January a "eat out your pantry" and no spend week or two. It was beneficial to know that I actually don't know how to cook lentils!! and then I noticed the covid issues around valentines day and slowly started doubling up on my grocery delivery. So thank you, Jordan for calmly introducing preparedness sans panic. I'm from NOLA so I was emotionally impacted by the hurricane that hit Houston when y'all posted this. Thank you thank you thank you.
I created my emergency stash by spending $10. on each Walmart trip on canned foods, supplies, etc.. It was Budget friendly and supplies really do add up quickly. Thanks for your awesome videos, Jordan and Bubba !! :)
Just when I thought I couldn't love you any more, I find out you're preppers! It's just wise and I find it weird that there is even a special name for using common sense and providing for your family. I'm a Christian, not Mormon, but over the last 3 years I have also felt a strong urge by God to prepare for difficult times. You're right, blessings come from obedience! And I love that you are generous with your abundance, which is something that most preppers are missing. Great video guys!
Winner of a video, I been tryin to find out about "catastrophe preparedness" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Konhloe Ranarah Equalizer - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my neighbour got excellent success with it.
I made a section in my recipe binder titled "food storage meals" so I know what meals I can make to rotate and in the case of emergency I have meals in mind.
I find it so interesting that my church does not talk about this issue. I am apart of a HUGE non-denominational church. We have multiple campuses all over Texas and one in Arizona. I am not hating on your church at all. I think it is great that your church encourages you to prepare so well. Living in Texas has been scary this past month. Hardly any food in some places and NO gas. This too shall pass but it will be hard until it does. My views on this has changed so much because once you go through something like Harvey your entire world changes. There is a difference between living in fear and living in preparedness. Thank you Jordan (and Bubba) for all that you do to help us live in confidence!
Lol Bubba speaking the truth about toilet paper being the most valuable commodity in the future. We're living that reality in 2020, less than 3 years after this video was filmed!!
So I've been listening to all of your Q&A Tuesdays while cleaning today and I'm pretty sure you need a podcast! You guys are awesome and I seriously have learned so much from you for my large family!! Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
SUCH a good tip to live off percentages and not $ amounts. I'm less than $2000 away from being debt free, and I've been able to live off just 40% of my take-home pay and the progress you can make when you're driven and focused is awesome. This was my first Q&A I watched, but definitely going to check out some of your past ones. Thank you for giving so much of yourselves and your time. You rock!
Yessss!!! The spouse question! My husband has NO URGENCY when it comes to saving money or emergency preparedness! Drives me nuts. I honestly feel a divide because of it.
As a student in the norwegian search and rescue, we were taught to always have a go-backpack in the car with some nutrient dence food that can last you for some days of survival(nuts and dried fruits etc), first aid kit, flashlight, warm clothes and water, in case of a crisis.
I live in a one bedroom apt and spent a yr and half buying storage slowly while engaged to cover both me and my future family. It was time consuming but I woke up thinking about it almost daily so I get bubbas feelings on this. When I got through 72 hr kits and 3 month pantry stock I started on long term and decided to go until the feelings eased. I ended with a yr of back stock for the both of us or two yrs if it was just me and 3 months of water. It’s all under my bed and in the awkward vertical storage in my one coat closet. By doing square pails I used the space more effectively and stacked to the ceiling from the top shelf up. I sold stuff, saved, etc and it is doable people. One morning in my wee hrs mediation I just felt I was done for now. The peace is amazing and you feel so accomplished when you get there. BIG TAKE AWAY please test the brands, so many are horrible tasting I made my fiancé try so many brands because if you’re going to have to eat it under duress situations you don’t want it to be awful! We picked bits from each and made our own stockpile we’d be happy to use. We also try to rotate at least 1-2 meals a month through from long term and about half other meals from pantry to force the rotation of the food and be used to knowing how to cook with the long term stuff. If you didn’t grow up scratch cooking in an emergency is not the time to learn it ;) thanks so much for this video you guys are awesome and relatable and thanks for not making this super doomsday-ish!
Gosh, I pray you can influence newbies to this subject. We’ve been prepping since Y2K. We’ve successfully impressed upon our sons, the importance of preparedness and now, sleep soundly knowing our children and grandchildren are protected from the unexpected. 🙏🥰❤️
l spent $10 a week of my grocery money and got my year supply that way, it took a few years but l got it done and the first thing l stocked up on was toilet paper, go figure!
Please do more energy prep videos. I totally understand not wanting to show your storage.. but maybe just general info on the research Bubba has done. Like the best way to store water long term, what foods are good for storage etc.
Lora Jenkins I've been pricing a floorplan for a 4 car garage with an apt above it's 1385 sq ft with 3/2 even has a spot for an elevator for handicapped accessibility. I asked if it could be built with cinderblocks ? The designers said yes. So I know there's an art museum in Miami that survived Irma without damages, so I want to see the building codes for that building? I think it's time to address the horrible effects of these storms. I want to build a house that will survive the storms. I've read that the poorest 3 counties in FL are located in the panhandle. Idk why the city managers haven't addressed the poverty in the area? The article didn't mention by name so idk which ones? But there's grants that are available that aren't being used. President Trump has said there's like $80B available, these people need to do some more research on accessing the money. I hope you and your kids are OK. I know there's some trauma associated with going thru a hurricane especially living in a MH. I know Texas flooded from Harvey from the coast all the way up to south Austin. Holy cow. I advise people who are relocating to move north of Austin.
We got sick with COVID-19 and self-isolated for 14 days and cooked using only whatever we had in the house (not used deliveries or anything). Those were 2 weeks of delicious home-made food. We are vegan, 2 adults and a 3 year old.
Wow that was really cool of u to not expose yourselves even to get food delivery. so many others do. Surprised u say it was delicious. So many others say it was hard to put a meal together. u must hav been prepped well, b4 illness. It pays off to hav stuff around. 2020 is proving that very well
I'm a born and raised Floridian. I grew up buying in bulk from co-ops. I buy this way for my family now, and am always thankful when a hurricane comes and I know I'm stocked. Thanks for sharing your tips!! 💖
I'm watching this in November 2020 during corona virus and the scarcity of toilet paper that you prophesied really happened! Thanks for all of your videos, you guys are awesome!
We have church Brethren that live in Venezuela, and they are starving without food or much water there, no medications, etc. But God is providing for their basic needs, somehow . It's good to be prepared, and to be obedient in that, but also in the preparedness, to have faith that the Lord will provide for those that trust in Him, even if for some reason, something isn't available.
Rewatching and binge watching, at this time one thing that I think all of us should consider is plant some things, I plant lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, and beans in pots. I have fresh products and at this time with the covid 19 is awesome, I don't have to go to supermarket to buy. And it's something that helps to keep me occupied.
Soooooo, I'm just watching this for the first time in July 2021. I don't even know if Jordan or Bubba knows how much they covered in this video that was a part of our lives in 2020. Absolutely love this couple!
They’re a little expensive, but Mountain House is the best freeze dried food I’ve had and those packs can last 30+ years. They make and sell large kits with at least 20 freeze dried meals in them. It could be a decent option to slowly stock those up for a lot of food that doesn’t have to be rotated out to prevent it from going bad.
When we had to move from Idaho from SLC I kept selling stuff until I covered nearly half the cost of the move- almost $1000! Just with clothes, appliances, baby stuff, crafts, etc! Obviously it didn’t go to emergency preparedness but totally hits the point of you are sitting on money and if there’s a will there’s a way
I’m working hard on this ! I am packing diaper bags and such for each my kids. I keep a stroller, play pens, baby carriers, and spare diaper bags in my Jeep all the time as we live in the country and if I break down or something I want to be a bit prepared. My boyfriend thinks I’m nuts but I am here alone a lot of the time with the girls so I’m definitely into this.
You make discussing a difficult topic so much easier. Although my house and budget are pretty small, I always have a full pantry with some bottled water. I keep extras of commonly used OTC meds, batteries, flashlights, candles, etc. I do need to print a good checklist and follow it to ensure that I've thought of everything I need. Bug-out bag I'm going to put together tomorrow using things I already have...thanks for kickstarting this project!
I have kept a pantry for almost 30years... growing up in a small town, going to the grocery store was a trek. Yes, we had a great small grocer. We did keep a well stocked pantry, with short term and long term food available. While raising my family, I can’t believe how many times this has paid off.... even though we now live in a mega large metropolis. Job transition, illness, storms, kids in college.... so many times it has helped. Even FEMA says 72 hours for a go bag and 2 weeks or more for storms and emergencies. After looking at some of these storms, some people didn’t get restored for months... BTW dogs love peanut butter. If I can’t eat or give or rotate my food by going to a food give away (they eat it immediately) My dogs eat some of it, like the peanut butter.
Bubba and Ollie have the same smiles. 😂 Hubby knows what I’m passionate about based on what keeps playing on my phone. When I started watching your channel repeatedly, he said “If you want to talk budget, let me know.” 💖
Watching this because of everything going on in Ukraine just now, incase things get worse and progress over to where I live I want to be able to be prepared!
Ask grandparents. No need to google. The best info for food storage is to ask the old school folks who canned and survived winters after growing their own. They prepared for as much as they could with no budget. This isn't new stuff
Ashleah Dykes A lot of people won’t know their grandparents or any other elderly people for that matter, so it’s always good that google is a resource that’s accessible to everyone. Also, my grandparents for example never prepared for something like this, they just lived with what they had. I think it might be very different from region to region.
I live in the Uk and the kind of emergencies that I need to prepare for are things like fire or floods. The things I am working towards are digitizing all of my photographs (all old family ones as well) and creating an inventory of what is in our home and saving both on Dropbox.
My husband has ALWAYS wanted something like this, and I've never taken him completely seriously. We had to stock up for the hurricane this past week and it was scary knowing that everyone else was trying to prepare too...It has totally changed my perspective. I am totally on board with him now.
Maria Yanakakis Weeks, girl, Make sure you have those lentils and beans, lol. I also stock up on amino acids, ACV with the mother, and dried herbs. What did you get? I don't have a dehydrated veggie stock.
Ashleah Dykes Hahaha yes! They came in big plastic spice-jar-like containers like you'd get at a wholesale club with of all sorts - soups and veggies and legumes from a brand called Harmony House (non GMO, no preservatives) - got them on Amazon a while ago. I keep a powdered vegetable broth on hand too. Good idea about the amino acids !
I'd love to tell you everything that has led up to my husband and I getting on the same page and recently purchasing your Budget Bootcamp program. For today let's keep it the readers digest version. It all started with a prayer for a solution on my part to not just live comfortably but to LIVE! I accidentally found your video on envelopes, watched a few more of your videos, and realize this was my answer. I presented my husband with the plan and several sacrifices I was willing to make to get there quicker. You're right, showing my spouse sacrifice and then example led to the immediate purchase of the program and we're off and running. Thank you thank you!!
Walmart has pretty good MREs. We buy a few and take them camping to ensure that our littles will eat them. I will buy a few everytime I go buy Walmart.
THANK U JORDAN AND BUBBA FOR THINKING ABOUT US IN TEXAS...MY HEART IS TOTALLY BROKEN FOR EVERYONE AFFECTED BY HURRICANES HARVEY AND IRMA ...GOD BLESS YOU BOTH...BLESSINGS TO U AND UR FAMILY 😇
I want to thank you for this. Not LDS but we’re Christian and we do some work. This video has taught me that I need to better educate my community. We can’t sit by idly when the community needs to be informed. Thanks!
We are going through Irma right now and I am already doing this. Going through what we have first. We are in hurricane season and food storage should be good for us. Thanks for these videos.
Great topic!! I also have a food storage. Thankfully I live on a hill so I won't ever be flooded. However I do live in a state that gets tornados but I'm more in the city. My area has never been hit, or close to it. Your fruit room is called a root cellar! (I would have bought that house just for that lol!) I'm a stay home mom, due with our second in 3 weeks. Love your show.
Thank u so much Jordan and bubba for a big kick in the butt to reality and protecting ur family! I need to start doing my preparation for food! I have "safety get away bag" but not food!
Foods from LDS are amazing. The cake mixes make Betty Crocker look like a beginner, The granola is better than top shelf brands, and the instant potatoes was good enough to trick people who say they will only eat fresh made. It is so worth trying out!!!
Hubby and I sat down and separately made financial priority lists, so we both know what’s important to the other. Our only debt is the mortgage, and he is the breadwinner. We’re splitting the surplus between his priorities and mine.
It surprised me that so many people rescued did not have an emergency go-bag. It needs to be portable so you can evacuate quickly if you need to. Kathy B.
Aww, was this the birth of “freebs nation”?? You should definitely share this later this year when people can start anew. I grew up around hurricanes, but now I know that not a lot of people have this mindset.
I just found out the Utah food bank will take expired food or best date to use...for up to 5 years after best use date:) so that has help me to change my mindset a bit regarding food storage.
This video has so much good information. Thanks! We have a pretty good rotating food storage, but really need to work on the emergeny preparedness side of things. Thanks for all the tips and resources!
Question? Where do you keep you emergency preparedness supplies? Do you keep them all together in one spot in your house, so it's an easy grab and go? Or, are things put in different areas of the house? So, you'd need time to gather everything together.
Samantha Evans I would suggest 72-hour type of stuff together in one place so you can grab and go. The rest is more likely to be used when you're stuck at home with no power for days or weeks or no income because of a job lost or something. That kind of storage can be all over the house. A good idea might be to keep a master list of it all, though, so you can remember all the nooks and crannies you've stored things in. Haha
Prescription meds to stock up ask your pharmacy what is the earliest your able to refill. I can do it 3 days early. That's 36 extra meds in a year. Just be sure you use the older meds you kept back the next month.
I like the percentage idea. And I'm glad you are saving for retirement. ABSOLUTELY start doing that when you're out of debt (or even before?, depending on the math) because compound interest will yield you SO MUCH more the earlier you start. Mutual funds are great, because you start riskier (more stocks) when you're young and have more time to recover, and it slowly transitions you to safer, but slower earning options (more bonds). And Roth IRAs. Pay taxes on them now (roth) vs later (traditional) because who knows what it'll be like later. And if your employer offers any sort of matching on 401Ks, take full advantage of that or you're missing out on a lot of money.
Your peanut butter will be okay after the expiration date. It might not taste as fresh but it will be fine. Expiration dates are mostly just because of USDA regulation. I have been seeing more things with two dates one for best use by and one that says expiration date.
so true, l love all the information, thanks so much and so funny that you said at the beginning that the first thing to go would be toilet paper, so true!
So freaking hilarious that Bubba said "toilet paper may be the most valuable thing, who knows" like he predicted what's happening now! Sad because right now people think it is, when there is so many other options!!
My sugestión for emergency times is having two full propain tanks for cooking on grills abd yes you need more then three day more like a month. Thank you for the video
People joke about Ramen but it is a great way to add and use up fresh refrigerated veggies and eggs that will need to be used up quickly and add nutrition to the ramen.
Regarding stocking up and storing cigarettes, coffee, alcohol, etc. - rethink that - you might think you can barter with it, but do you really want people coming to you for their fix and when you're out of those things, you think they'll believe you that you don't have any anymore? Addicts in detox is a scary sight. Don't invite that to your home. Seeds, food and water will be currency enough.
When hurricane IRMA hit Walmart jacked our Diapers up from $17 a box to $40 and I was out. And we couldn't get gas for like a week. So this is all great advice.
Somehow I missed that y’all are LDS - The Church’s belief in temporal salvation (did I get that right?) is so interesting and it makes so much sense. Thank you for giving us this info!!
I applaud you for not showing your storage, we also keep ours on the DL. Note about 72 hour kit backpacks, make sure your kids can carry the pack. It does absolutely no good to have a 20 pound pack for your 3 year old.
Wow! So cool. Listening to this for he first time... it's July 2020 and at around the 27 minute mark, they say that maybe toilet paper will be the most valuable thing in a crisis. I know he was just speculating but it's crazy that it actually happened this year!
i live in san francisco (earthquake) and Paris (flood)-I learned from the last earth quake to have the following foods in my kits- powdered milk , powered peanut butter, powered chocolate, rice, dried beans, Dried fruit (make jelly with water), sugar.waterproof matches and so much more. I use my camping stuff as my emergency supplies and i go camping once a year to rotate it..oohh and aleve and alcohol.....LOL
We had a Thrivelife tasting party. I'm taking all the free and half price food I get from the party to 72 hr kits for my family. We had some Finances difficulties so we lived basically on our food storage. Believe were hundred percent in favor storage and preparedness.
It was only when storm emma hit Ireland back in march I realised that I need something, my parents thought no way would the place shut down and it did, luckily a shop ten minutes walk away opened after a few hours but no milk so I need to get us sorted with a 48 hour supply per person plus money to buy water, milk and any other essential closer to the time, we were lucky our learning curve was minor compared to so many but we dont normally get extreme weather until 2018 came, and we currently dont get hurricanes, earthquakes etc, some minor flooding but none where we are located. Any tips are always appriciated for a complete newbie like myself.
Shouldn't September be when you're stocking? That's when all of the case lot sales and freeze dried food places have sales. That's what I'm doing in September.

Mormons are Christians, it's just a different denomination. (Like Baptist, Catholic, etc...)
@@amiegamble1678 I think she meant *but not.
At least that's how I read it.
I made a section in my recipe binder titled "food storage meals" so I know what meals I can make to rotate and in the case of emergency I have meals in mind.
I would love to know what some of those meals are if you don't mind sharing!
Ha! Bubba’s prophecy- “toilet paper could become the most valuable thing on the planet.” No joke, Bubba.

After living through hurricane Fran in a mobile home, with 3 small children, we learned how important it is to be prepared.

I’m working hard on this ! I am packing diaper bags and such for each my kids. I keep a stroller, play pens, baby carriers, and spare diaper bags in my Jeep all the time as we live in the country and if I break down or something I want to be a bit prepared. My boyfriend thinks I’m nuts but I am here alone a lot of the time with the girls so I’m definitely into this.
You make discussing a difficult topic so much easier. Although my house and budget are pretty small, I always have a full pantry with some bottled water. I keep extras of commonly used OTC meds, batteries, flashlights, candles, etc. I do need to print a good checklist and follow it to ensure that I've thought of everything I need. Bug-out bag I'm going to put together tomorrow using things I already have...thanks for kickstarting this project!
I have kept a pantry for almost 30years... growing up in a small town, going to the grocery store was a trek. Yes, we had a great small grocer. We did keep a well stocked pantry, with short term and long term food available. While raising my family, I can’t believe how many times this has paid off.... even though we now live in a mega large metropolis. Job transition, illness, storms, kids in college.... so many times it has helped. Even FEMA says 72 hours for a go bag and 2 weeks or more for storms and emergencies. After looking at some of these storms, some people didn’t get restored for months...
BTW dogs love peanut butter. If I can’t eat or give or rotate my food by going to a food give away (they eat it immediately) My dogs eat some of it, like the peanut butter.
Linda McNeil I would say make Fudge! 😂 my kids love it. I've added to grits as well. Peanut butter is a versatile food source.
I was also thinking cookies! Easy recipe 1c pb 1 c sugar(brown or white) 1 egg. 350° F... I forget but it's like 8-15 min maybe.
I've also learned to put things in multitude places so you have different area in case you can't get to certain spots.
Very good idea!
Bubba and Ollie have the same smiles. 😂
Hubby knows what I’m passionate about based on what keeps playing on my phone. When I started watching your channel repeatedly, he said “If you want to talk budget, let me know.” 💖
Watching this because of everything going on in Ukraine just now, incase things get worse and progress over to where I live I want to be able to be prepared!
Ask grandparents. No need to google. The best info for food storage is to ask the old school folks who canned and survived winters after growing their own. They prepared for as much as they could with no budget. This isn't new stuff
Ashleah Dykes A lot of people won’t know their grandparents or any other elderly people for that matter, so it’s always good that google is a resource that’s accessible to everyone. Also, my grandparents for example never prepared for something like this, they just lived with what they had. I think it might be very different from region to region.
Sevi Lay . What do u mean, you don't know who ur grandparents are?
ud he Some people’s grandparents die before they’re born.
I live in the Uk and the kind of emergencies that I need to prepare for are things like fire or floods. The things I am working towards are digitizing all of my photographs (all old family ones as well) and creating an inventory of what is in our home and saving both on Dropbox.
My husband has ALWAYS wanted something like this, and I've never taken him completely seriously. We had to stock up for the hurricane this past week and it was scary knowing that everyone else was trying to prepare too...It has totally changed my perspective. I am totally on board with him now.
I bought dehydrated vegetarian food a while back to have on hand for winter storms! Thanks for reminding us to rotate & use!
Maria Yanakakis Weeks, girl, Make sure you have those lentils and beans, lol. I also stock up on amino acids, ACV with the mother, and dried herbs.
What did you get? I don't have a dehydrated veggie stock.
Ashleah Dykes Hahaha yes! They came in big plastic spice-jar-like containers like you'd get at a wholesale club with of all sorts - soups and veggies and legumes from a brand called Harmony House (non GMO, no preservatives) - got them on Amazon a while ago. I keep a powdered vegetable broth on hand too. Good idea about the amino acids !
I'd love to tell you everything that has led up to my husband and I getting on the same page and recently purchasing your Budget Bootcamp program. For today let's keep it the readers digest version. It all started with a prayer for a solution on my part to not just live comfortably but to LIVE! I accidentally found your video on envelopes, watched a few more of your videos, and realize this was my answer. I presented my husband with the plan and several sacrifices I was willing to make to get there quicker. You're right, showing my spouse sacrifice and then example led to the immediate purchase of the program and we're off and running. Thank you thank you!!
Walmart has pretty good MREs. We buy a few and take them camping to ensure that our littles will eat them. I will buy a few everytime I go buy Walmart.
THANK U JORDAN AND BUBBA FOR THINKING ABOUT US IN TEXAS...MY HEART IS TOTALLY BROKEN FOR EVERYONE AFFECTED BY HURRICANES HARVEY AND IRMA ...GOD BLESS YOU BOTH...BLESSINGS TO U AND UR FAMILY 😇
I want to thank you for this. Not LDS but we’re Christian and we do some work. This video has taught me that I need to better educate my community. We can’t sit by idly when the community needs to be informed. Thanks!
Love this, Praying for the ones affected by Harvey. Im in Ga and hoping Irma doesnt affect us too bad. Prayers all around.
Cheyenne Allen I am in Alabama
Praying for you guys.
lori craven
Thank you ☺

Hi how are yall holding up?? Its getting pretty bad here!
We are going through Irma right now and I am already doing this. Going through what we have first. We are in hurricane season and food storage should be good for us. Thanks for these videos.
Seeds....garden vegetable seeds. and I know that sounds like total prepper but being able to replenish is important.
Especially heirloom seeds. Learn how to collect the seeds. (Never plant all your seeds incase there's a bad growing season.)
Store food that your family will eat and remember to rotate food... Really love these videos, you have now become the couple I go to for motivation.
I like these kind of videos. Great ideas. I live in Maine and being prepared for a power outage is essential. Thank you!
Great topic!! I also have a food storage. Thankfully I live on a hill so I won't ever be flooded. However I do live in a state that gets tornados but I'm more in the city. My area has never been hit, or close to it. Your fruit room is called a root cellar! (I would have bought that house just for that lol!) I'm a stay home mom, due with our second in 3 weeks. Love your show.
Watched this a few months ago...rewatching duw to the craziness that is panic buying due to corona virus
Thank u so much Jordan and bubba for a big kick in the butt to reality and protecting ur family! I need to start doing my preparation for food! I have "safety get away bag" but not food!
A remake of this topic but related to the coronavirus and just an update of what you are doing now would be awesome.
So cool that you have your cabin now!
Foods from LDS are amazing. The cake mixes make Betty Crocker look like a beginner, The granola is better than top shelf brands, and the instant potatoes was good enough to trick people who say they will only eat fresh made. It is so worth trying out!!!
Hubby and I sat down and separately made financial priority lists, so we both know what’s important to the other. Our only debt is the mortgage, and he is the breadwinner. We’re splitting the surplus between his priorities and mine.
It surprised me that so many people rescued did not have an emergency go-bag. It needs to be portable so you can evacuate quickly if you need to.

Aww, was this the birth of “freebs nation”?? You should definitely share this later this year when people can start anew. I grew up around hurricanes, but now I know that not a lot of people have this mindset.
I just found out the Utah food bank will take expired food or best date to use...for up to 5 years after best use date:) so that has help me to change my mindset a bit regarding food storage.
This video has so much good information. Thanks! We have a pretty good rotating food storage, but really need to work on the emergeny preparedness side of things. Thanks for all the tips and resources!
Question? Where do you keep you emergency preparedness supplies? Do you keep them all together in one spot in your house, so it's an easy grab and go? Or, are things put in different areas of the house? So, you'd need time to gather everything together.
Samantha Evans I would suggest 72-hour type of stuff together in one place so you can grab and go. The rest is more likely to be used when you're stuck at home with no power for days or weeks or no income because of a job lost or something. That kind of storage can be all over the house. A good idea might be to keep a master list of it all, though, so you can remember all the nooks and crannies you've stored things in. Haha
Prescription meds to stock up ask your pharmacy what is the earliest your able to refill. I can do it 3 days early. That's 36 extra meds in a year. Just be sure you use the older meds you kept back the next month.
I like the percentage idea. And I'm glad you are saving for retirement. ABSOLUTELY start doing that when you're out of debt (or even before?, depending on the math) because compound interest will yield you SO MUCH more the earlier you start. Mutual funds are great, because you start riskier (more stocks) when you're young and have more time to recover, and it slowly transitions you to safer, but slower earning options (more bonds). And Roth IRAs. Pay taxes on them now (roth) vs later (traditional) because who knows what it'll be like later. And if your employer offers any sort of matching on 401Ks, take full advantage of that or you're missing out on a lot of money.
Your peanut butter will be okay after the expiration date. It might not taste as fresh but it will be fine. Expiration dates are mostly just because of USDA regulation. I have been seeing more things with two dates one for best use by and one that says expiration date.
Rewatching this Haha bubba totally nailed it on toilet paper being a hot commodity
so true, l love all the information, thanks so much and so funny that you said at the beginning that the first thing to go would be toilet paper, so true!
Watching this after the ice storm that hit Texas and Houston area not being prepared at all
This is totally inspiring me to get my food storage in check!
How weird that this video is for seeing the future. I’m definitely learning that we need to be more prepared.
Oh hey bubba called toilet paper being the most valuable item on earth lol. Aye corona.
So important I have also felt the pull from God to prepare. Thanks for getting us to start thinking hard core. 😊👏🙏
Fastforward to March 2020 and like Bubba said at 27:30, toilet paper is currency!!
Just found this and how appropriate for our current times!!!!!
So freaking hilarious that Bubba said "toilet paper may be the most valuable thing, who knows" like he predicted what's happening now!
Sad because right now people think it is, when there is so many other options!!
Bubba, Thor Trucking (THO) is beating Tesla to market with an all electric big rig and it’s reported to cost only $2k more than diesel.
I'm part of the church to!!!!! Love you brother and sister! Thank you for sharing this!
My sugestión for emergency times is having two full propain tanks for cooking on grills abd yes you need more then three day more like a month.
Thank you for the video
People joke about Ramen but it is a great way to add and use up fresh refrigerated veggies and eggs that will need to be used up quickly and add nutrition to the ramen.
Regarding stocking up and storing cigarettes, coffee, alcohol, etc. - rethink that - you might think you can barter with it, but do you really want people coming to you for their fix and when you're out of those things, you think they'll believe you that you don't have any anymore? Addicts in detox is a scary sight. Don't invite that to your home. Seeds, food and water will be currency enough.
Watching this during coronavirus pandanonium- toilet paper! Bubba you nailed it! 😀😀😀
This rings so true right now! Thank you! Love and prayers out to you and your family. ❤
WOULD LOVE MERCH THAT SAYS "OG FREEB NATION". LET'S GET TO IT. LOVE YOU BOTH.
When hurricane IRMA hit Walmart jacked our Diapers up from $17 a box to $40 and I was out. And we couldn't get gas for like a week. So this is all great advice.
geez that is horrible I can't believe Wal-Mart can do that
Somehow I missed that y’all are LDS - The Church’s belief in temporal salvation (did I get that right?) is so interesting and it makes so much sense. Thank you for giving us this info!!
I applaud you for not showing your storage, we also keep ours on the DL. Note about 72 hour kit backpacks, make sure your kids can carry the pack. It does absolutely no good to have a 20 pound pack for your 3 year old.
Wow! So cool. Listening to this for he first time... it's July 2020 and at around the 27 minute mark, they say that maybe toilet paper will be the most valuable thing in a crisis. I know he was just speculating but it's crazy that it actually happened this year!
We found that funny, too! 🤣
i live in san francisco (earthquake) and Paris (flood)-I learned from the last earth quake to have the following foods in my kits- powdered milk , powered peanut butter, powered chocolate, rice, dried beans, Dried fruit (make jelly with water), sugar.waterproof matches and so much more. I use my camping stuff as my emergency supplies and i go camping once a year to rotate it..oohh and aleve and alcohol.....LOL
Super love this video! You are right on, these supplies are to help others. Thank you for helping to spread this message!
Thanks for this! Great push to get me motivated to take stock again of what we really have. I've been meaning to do that for a while.
Baba (2017): "Toilet paper could be the most valuable thing on the planet. Who knows?"
2020: 😊
We had a Thrivelife tasting party. I'm taking all the free and half price food I get from the party to 72 hr kits for my family. We had some Finances difficulties so we lived basically on our food storage. Believe were hundred percent in favor storage and preparedness.
YA I’m a Freeb’s! For some reason that makes me so happy. An OG for that matter. #OGFreebsgear
Love these tips! Always looking for more information on preparedness. It's so overwhelming to me, but this definitely makes it more manageable 😊
Perfect timing! I've been researching this for the last week. Thanks so much for sharing. 😀
I lived through Harvey and now I’m watching this during the covid pandemic! Eek
Hang in there! We're going to survive!
It was only when storm emma hit Ireland back in march I realised that I need something, my parents thought no way would the place shut down and it did, luckily a shop ten minutes walk away opened after a few hours but no milk so I need to get us sorted with a 48 hour supply per person plus money to buy water, milk and any other essential closer to the time, we were lucky our learning curve was minor compared to so many but we dont normally get extreme weather until 2018 came, and we currently dont get hurricanes, earthquakes etc, some minor flooding but none where we are located. Any tips are always appriciated for a complete newbie like myself.
could you do another video on this stuff?!
Shouldn't September be when you're stocking? That's when all of the case lot sales and freeze dried food places have sales. That's what I'm doing in September.
