put a bag of sillica kitty litter or 2 in some pillowslips in your pantry it will help absorb the moisture and stop your cans from rusting.
Thank you very much for the tip. I was thinking about putting some of the Damprid things in there.
@@littlegreenpatch98 I don't know what they are called but they have those things at the dollar tree that take the dampness out of the air!
Good afternoon ♥ Two things I am laughing about within the first 7 minutes....You had a pink basement I have a pink bathroom. Did I mention it is PeptoBismo pink! The other thing was your house being unlevel! Mine as well!!! Must be a Michigan thing! My husband had the worse time trying to build the breakfast bar because he was trying so hard to make sure it was level! Poor guy! I love your Pantry! It totally reminds me of mine back home! We had about 300 sq ft in our basement with shelfs my husband built. He was able to get wood for his job for free. We had shelfs around all the walls and in the center I had my five gallon buckets! We only brought about 1/4th of our pantry when we moved. I am looking forward to beginning canning . I was going to start last fall but we moved. Hubby got me an electric canner for my birthday last year!
I hated that pink color but it wasn’t only in the basement. One of the bedrooms was pink in this house when we first moved in. I am sure the basement had a pink accent wall (still there) and cold room because it was left over. The rest of the basement is white wall’s. Somebody ran out of paint.
Electric Canner is a great way to get started pressure canning. A lot less fuss and thing’s to remember.
Which Electric Pressure Canner do you have?
@@littlegreenpatch98 I think it is the NESCO NPC-9 Smart Electric Pressure Cooker and Canner, 9.5 Quart, Stainless Steel from amazon. It is still in the box. I also was just able to purchase the
Weston 6-Tray Digital Food Dehydrator from Costco which is also still in the box lol. We were able to get it with our Costco 2% rebate check. I can't wait to use it! I also can't wait to paint our bathroom! I bought all the paint when we first got here when I would find it on special! We actually got a 5 gallon bucket of off white semi glass on sale at Home Depot for $30! I could not pass it up! The entire house needs painted inside!
we have a working pantry 13 - 15 months worth of food we dont buy much from stores
big garden fruit trees several way to get meat 2 flow hives for honey make our own maple syrup buy oats wheat corn in bulk make our own flour oatmeal grits
we save alot of money making our own food
This is some of our goal’s as well. We will get there one step at a time.
We have a working kitchen pantry, a short term pantry and a longterm 20, 30+ year’s do not touch unless the world is crashing down around us an that is they only thing left to eat pantry. 😊
Smaller freezers are better. It allows you to have one for meat, veggies, store bought. Much easier if one breaks down too.
Wonderful job on the pantry. I'm sure it's going to be a joy to have.
Thank you. The pantry is already paying off. I am pretty much at the maintain stage. Just your prospective on the freezes is something to think about. May have to do that when funds allow.
After 2 years you want to start rotating out your cans of soup if you can replace them. I have found after 2 years they are still good but at the 2 to 3 year mark is when they start picking up a slight metallic taste. Not a big deal if in a starving situation but just fyi.
Thank you for that info. We are constantly rotating our stock through our Kitchen Working Pantry for stuff like that. I use it in the base for everything from casseroles to stew’s. The other day I pulled out one thicken the broth part, added the rest of the can contents and poured it over rice. God Bless
I’ve always wondered if you can take your canned veggies/beans and pressure can them for longer life span?
@@1900_on_West_Ave your veggies would lose all nutrient value and become mushy. Don't know the answer about longer storage life🤔
Great job loving the preparation you're doing for your family store bought and canning. On the same page.
Thank you. It has been a 8 year journey to get to this point. I love not having to run out for things that I need to cook. My mother instilled in me the mindset of always having something for a rainy day from very young. Weather it be food or money etc. Stay Safe & Keep Prepping! 🙂 God Bless
You said its not the best, but its what you have... I think it is a great area!
Thank you. The floor gets wet in the cracks in a hard long downpour. We have centipedes and spiders that I just canned get rid of but it’s a great temp for keeping things cool in the summer and not freezing in the winter. I guess that’s a win. God Bless
Aloha hugs 🤗 Daniel is home for awhile he has your link he been busy thinking for himself we gave him a bus pass one that can be replaced if swollen, he stays in a very space Gargage, this was a very big project, I had a deeam of a Earthquake those shelves will move put a board on each part in front to keep them like a boat cabin I am watching 3rd Nephi move much love
I am so glad your son is home and doing well.
My region doesn’t get earthquakes but I will probably do it anyway just for peace of mind. Thank You God Bless 🙏🏽
Very nice. I love seeing pantries.
Thank You. I love watching those kind of videos as well. You can get good idea’s that you may not have thought of or learn new uses for thing’s you already have. Stay Safe & Keep Prepping! 🙂 God Bless
If you combine a couple shelves you can make more shelves for home canned and less wasted space so you have more room for store bought
Thank you for the suggestion. I have store bought item’s in two other locations in my house; it would be nice to combine more. I wish I could make room for home canning but the shelves only hold about 250-275 lbs each. I am pushing it with what is on it now. One day I will have custom built shelves by hubby. 🤞🏽🙂
Yor cans could be rusting because moisture is getting in somehow. You have a nice pantry
That is definitely what it is. Our basement is not water tight so there is moisture that gets in but it’s what I have so I got to work with it. We run a dehumidifier which helps. Thank You 🙏🏽
Those canned green tomatoes you don’t like, drain, pat dry, dip in beaten egg, dregg in some sort of coating. Then fry in either beef or pork fat. They will become a family favorite.
You have done a great job! So much work and preparedness.
Thank you. I have been at this for year’s; started on my own when I got married. My mom always had a semi fully stocked cabinet’s. She instilled in me “It’s better to have it and not need it than need it an not have it.” I can still hear her telling me that. Stay Safe & Keep Prepping! 🙂God Bless.
Looks great! I've started using 1 gal mylar bags for pasta, dry milk, instant potatos, rice. (w. o2 obsober).
Thank you. I have my longterm foods stored that way. Also like using gamma lids on food grade 5 & 6 gallon buckets for short term and foods I am into often. It just gives me peace of mind. 🙂
I pull my green tomatoes and just leave them on the counter until they ripen. ❤ great job on the pantry. I just finally bought shelves for a bedroom I turned into a pantry and organized it. It feels really good. 😅
Thank you. Keep chipping away at it you will get to where you want to be. I wish I had room on my counter. I enjoy fresh tomato eating with the best of them. God Bless
I plan on adding a wood bar going across side front on shelf because as you I have lots of glass jars don't want any Chance of something falling off shelf
I have thought about doing that or even a taught bungees cord.
@@littlegreenpatch98 only problem with a bungee cord is it has a give to it I thought about also
I love it!!!!
Thank you. I do the best I can with the resources I have.
Great pantry! I found a good US company for lids is forjars...never had a failure!
Thank You I have been hearing about them a lot. I reached out to them about 8 months ago but haven’t heard back from them. Their lids are not made in the US but they are a US company. I can get Ball more conveniently in the store’s and is made in the US. Stay Safe & Keep Prepping! 🙂 God Bless
Thank you for sharing I love the way you have everything in order.
I try to keep all same or similar item’s together so I don’t have to look all over for thing’s. Veggies together, fruit, baking items, condiments etc. It also works good when I send other’s for items if they are close together. God Bless
I don't know exactly how true this is but I have been told by many many people not many people not to have your water in direct contact with concrete that concrete will Leach into your water source. So I always make sure there's some kind of kind of separation like a carpet scrap or something that keeps my water bottles from touching any concrete. I do see that you do have something underneath the water I think it's wood pieces so that's a good thing. Wow you have a lot more stored than I do but then again I have a very small space so can't store very much. But I still do what I can. You're doing a great job.
That is true. The water will leach things out of the concrete. Yep I have everything up off the concrete floor on pallets or just strips of wood. I don’t store anything directly on concrete.
@@littlegreenpatch98 When somebody told me that about the water I didn't take any chances and made sure that they were up off concrete. Dumped any that happened to have been on the concrete. And I do appreciate the fact that you confirm that it is true. Thank you
@@DisabledandPrepping I just put a barrier of cardboard from cardboard boxes under the water.
Great video. Would you tell me where you purchased the canning lids that you spoke about, and the name of them? Thanks
Looks really nice and organized. You had me laughing at the tomato section.....that rogue tomato sauce. 😂 Try the monkey butter, please ! Let us know.
ETA: Amazon has some handheld electronic/thermal label makers for around $20-30. Black fri.or Cyber Mon. could see discounts. Could be useful to you.
Thank You. I do have one but the labels don’t stick very well on those shelves that I have with the wire racks. I guess because of the holes and not much surface space for sticking, an the cold temperature of the room and the are tiny compared to these one’s. These ones I can cut to various sizes.
Amazing and inspiring. thank you for sharing.
You are more than welcome. I try with everything I do to be a help at least one person. It’s the little things in life. Thank You God Bless
I just love you stockpile room and your channel. Keep up the great work cause you inspire me
Thank you very much. I am so glad I can inspire at least one person. Stay Safe & Keep Prepping! 🙂 God Bless
What a great food storage great job just wow on amount of food I'm having to move my food storage to gain more room and combine it all in one room. It will be a chore
Thank you. I know how you feel about having to move it but once you do it will be so much better. Everything in one place makes it easier to see what you have and what you need. I wish I had a space I could put everything in. Even with this room I have several other locations I have thing’s stored in. Stay Safe & Keep Prepping! 🙂 God Bless
Amazing job👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you. It is still evolving. I am always looking for places to add more storage to it and get more to fit in. 🙂
Nice job!!
Thank you very much. It is a work in process. We pull from the homecanned side just about everyday and the store bought side about once a month. Got to love shopping in your own grocery store without the need to run out to get thing’s. God Bless
Great job
Thank you. I am doing all I can to get organized, fill in my gaps and stock up on thing’s I didn’t know I needed. I always have a list going. 😊
beautiful pantry
Thank you. This two months no spend challenge is killing me. I do want to run out an fill the hole’s that I have put in it in the last three weeks.
I hear you.. buying shelves all the dang time... nice pantry
Thank you. I try my best to catch them on sale. Okay I just wait until I see them on sale to buy them. So feeds into my procrastination. 🤦🏽♀️😏
Beautiful
Thank You. I try to work with what I have as best as I can. God Bless
@@littlegreenpatch98 Trust me, you've out done yourself. Keep going. You've inspired me to potential post my pantry 🥰 God bless
Nice pantry, however, seems like you have a lot of wasted space where your foundation ledge is. The new 1,000lb shelving is in 2 sections. If you separate the unit into 2 shorter shelving units, you may be able to place the shorter shelf on the foundation ledge. That would open things up a lot!!
Thank you. I thought about trying to utilize that ledge and I used it as a makeshift shelf for a time but it is very uneven. I could get hubby to level it for me but I wanted to get this area squared away faster than waiting for concrete to dry or the time it would take to build over it. I still have a few things stored back there like seeds, crock’s & empty clean containers.
That part. I said 5 gallon buckets behind the shelves
FYI... Cans with pop tops will not last as long as regular canned. I personally try not to buy pop top canned goods unless it is a really great buy. I then store them more towards the front instead of normal rotation.
Thank You. Yep! You are absolutely right and I am aware of this. I also try not to buy them but it was all that was available. It is how they are making them now. It use’s less material so they save. God Bless
We have so much Washington local honey lol. OMG I was just talking to my cousin today about the price of mayonnaise! I love your cold room! It has almost all of the same thing I have except for the canned food you made and something else but I cant remember! Do you have more spices put somewhere? I have so many of those drink packets you add to water. Also do you have hot cocoa mix and teas?
Thank you. I am so glad to have a cold room space that stays cool all year round. Even in the height of summer heat. It is about 10 degrees cooler than the rest of my basement. They basement it self stays about 10-15 degrees cooler than the rest of the house.
In what I call my short term pantry I have thing’s like tea, hot cocoa etc. It was kind of dark on those shelves when I showed it in my results video so it was hard to see it. I have four 2 gallon buckets of bulk bag spices from Azure of my most used ones. I have 6 larger USPS mailer boxes of Dollar Tree size spices & a Target grocery bag stuffed with spice’s. Mayonnaise, Peanut Butter & Instant Oats are on the top of the list to replenish. We are completely out of those. 😊
@@littlegreenpatch98 Latonya back in Washington we had a basement and it stayed cool so I know what you are talking about. It was nice. I am not sure what we will do but I am thinking we may be able to build a small shed on the north side of our house that is constantly in the shade. I think it will stay cooler especially if we insulate it. I have almost all the things in my pantry supplies that you do! I have tried to cover all the bases to have choices so if something happen eating wouldn't be boring!
Thank you for your video.
God bless you but you don't need any "make work" because you are the "Make Work" all by yourself.
AGGHHH!!!! ... You said "be still my heart"! ... and I say "be still my beating heart!"
I've just entered my fifth year of prepping, ... and I wouldn't mind entering my twentieth year of prepping because that means things didn't get as bad as they are about to.
Isn't that convoluted?
I started storing my preps in a rather large and abandoned subbasement about 12ft X 16ft and "year three", I overflowed into the main basement. Year four and I overflowed into the barn. Only stuff that will not be harmed by freezing.
Here's a tip for you, try adding a tsp of Onion soup mix in your pints of carrots and green beans. Makes a nice difference I think. You know, try a couple of jars first.
We stopped growing carrots because we can buy a fifty lb bag of ugly carrots from the factory for $5. I'm on my second bag for dehydrating and got 64 pints of canned carrots from the first bag.
Our big canned veggie is the peas an the mushrooms.
I was dehydrating Peas because the "wasted space" in the jars of dehydrated potato slices was driving me nuts, ... it's the little things eh?
The the stand up freezer quit and I canned 16 pints of peas rather than lose them. I must say that they are every bit as good as the store bought ones.
All those free potatoes I gleaned from the harvested field are almost all canned up too. I'd like to get more but I'm feeling lazy.
Besides, we have a farmer in the family who only grows potatoes and some wheat as a second crop. We get all our eating potatoes for free and people can't understand why I'd be canning up potatoes.
Let them wonder, ...
I bought three, 35 lb buckets of local honey "over time" for my long term storage and only have little over one bucket left. I guess I like honey.
Now I remember calling you a "newbie" but I was talking about your channel, .. not your prepping. Because you have the prepping down pat.
The vast majority of my Tomatoes are home canned.
I don't do much buying online BUT! If I can swing it, I'm ordering a whack of Powdered Tomatoes just because I want them.
I like instant coffee so I have a couple of cases of the stuff as well as the ground, beans, and those bricks of vacuumed packed espresso. You can see I'm not fussy, it's all about the drug!
Those canned potatoes makes the best home fries IMHO.
OK, enough of my drivel, ... have a great one and good luck.
Thank you very much. You are such a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the suggestions. I have canned some of my carrots in DIY Onion soup mix. It is delicious and I does make. nice difference as you said. I have tried beans but I will next time I can them. Our deer carrots here are cheap as well but I have to drive an hour + to get them. May not be worth it with gas prices. I wish I could get free potato. No one in my family farm’s or even had a garden. I am also a long way outside any kind of farmland. One day I hope to move nearer to the country. 🤞🏽 I know the feel of growing out of space’s. I started in my office closet and one shelf in the cold room ♥️ in my basement. Now I have 2 closet’s, an attic closet for paper products, 5 shelves in my cold room ♥️, part of the garage, half of the rest basement and an off grid storage unit. 🤫🤦🏽♀️ An I am still on the hunt for a shipping container. We do what we need to do for our family / friends. God Bless
I am a beginner with all this prepping. My question is, how many years worth of food do you have?
I am trying to figure out , how much food I need just for 2 people.
The shelving you bought from Home depot , did the wood shelves come with the shelving????
What sizes of containers for water ??? Thank you . I read to put out *Bay Leafs* sitting around the food because of bugs.
Hi,
It’s great to hear you have started preparing. Yes bay leaves can help keep bugs away from your food and diatomaceous earth also works great. Also if your getting thing’s out maybe take them to your kitchen or a table nearby to help reduce anything that might be spilled in that area.
The shelves with the wood did come like that but it’s an old one. Now they come with press wood composite not as good as before. The Home Depot shelf have metal grid shelves rated for 1000 lbs per shelf.
We have enough food for my immediate household of 2+ year’s but I have 5 sisters and 5 brothers. Hubby has one brother. Everyone has kid’s and spouses. So if we have to help them maybe six months 😬
Water is going to be the hardest thing to store. It’s heavy and takes up space but it can be done. I store gallon & 16 oz bottles in the house. Also have a few 55 gallon food grade drum’s. Also you don’t want to store food tote’s/buckets or bottles of water directly on concrete floor. Wood pallets or pieces work good. Think about getting a water filter then you may not have to store so much if you have a reliable source for potable water.
A quick way to figure out how much you need for whatever time period 6 month’s, 1 year etc. Write down everything you eat in a week or a month. Times that by however long you are trying to build for. It’s gonna be different for everyone. Don’t forget snacks and comfort foods, things you may eat only on occasion.
I hope this help’s. Don’t let it overwhelm you. Just take it step by step an you will get to where you want to be.
Stay Safe & Keep Prepping! 🙂
God Bless
Thank you for ALL your information that will be valuable. I am randomly mention "life straws , there's one that's better than the other , I will research it. I checked out Berkey with filters they are expensive. :(
5 gallons can go on the back concrete slab/step
Yes they can but it is hard to get to them with the shelves in front and the slab/step ins’t flat or level. At best I could only do one level of buckets. I keep my seeds, potatoes, crocks & other less use things back there.
@@littlegreenpatch98 ahhh. I thought they were super long term buckets. 😁💯
Please keep a meter to measure humidity in your basement
I would if it mattered but since this is the only real usable space I have for this stockpile. It not a worry I want to take on. The basement stays very cool in the heat of summer and comfortable in the winter. I don’t store short term pasta, rice, oats, flour that sort of thing down there.
@@littlegreenpatch98 I'm just thinking about rust on your metal and mold on cardboard. Your type of foundation is perfect for water migration, even if painted. Just keep an eye and your nose open to signs/smells of moisture. ;)
You said you will eat the Keystone meat last. Do you not like it? I've seen a lot of people buy it here on YT, but I've never seen it in my stores. I did look for it online at one point.
We tried a can of the beef. We like it but the cost is so high. It’s like eating prime rib first before flank steak. So that’s why we will eat it last if it comes to that and we have nothing else.
Fantastic! Are you able to ask Aldi for cases unopened? Should yeast packets be stored in freezer? New to prepping thank you
Thank you. Storing yeast in the freezer will prolong it’s life. As far a unopened case’s at ALDI. They come off the trucks as you see them on the floor. They wrap the whole pallet not individual cases; less waste I guess. Slow an steady with the prepping. You will get to where you want to be. Stay Safe & Keep Prepping! 🙂 God Bless
@@littlegreenpatch98 Thank you so much and God bless you as well!
Girl I have nothing like you 😲
Slow and steady is how I got to this point. This is about 8 years in the making. I set myself a budget and everytime I see a good deal I try to take advantage of it by stocking up. Just be consistent and you will get to where you want to be. Stay Safe & Keep Prepping! 🙂
@@littlegreenpatch98 when I first saw the ad I thought it was a store until I looked at the video 😲
Powder coffee creamer is expensive now
It is. It usually try to get the store brand. I haven’t really bought much of it since Dollar Tree went up to $1.25 :(
How long does a bottle of water last unopened please?
For those Walmart ones you see is this video we rotate through them before they expiration date. The gallons I opened one that was 6 years old. No bad smell or taste. I have a case of Core water that expired in 2021. Nothing was wrong with it. I think sealed store bought water can store indefinitely as long as the plastic is intact, stored in a cool, dry & pest free place. The only problem I see with mine is the the way I store it stacked on top of each other four or five high. The weight on the lower ones could compromise the plastic bottles. I also have a couple of 55 gallon blue water totes with filtered & treated tap water. I don’t think that water will last as long. It will need to be rotated every other year or so. Hope this helps. Stay Safe & Keep Prepping!🙂
Thank you so much for the reply. My stash is only tiny, probably only got about 10 bottles of water, but don;t use it on a daily basis only the smaller bottles which I take to work, or I use a Brita Filter jug to filter water. @@littlegreenpatch98
How many are you? How mutch water do you have?
Immediate family I have five sisters and 5 brothers, hubby had one brother. We are all married with 2.5 kids each between us. I plan for my immediate household and the possibility of maybe having to help family or friends. As after as water not enough. Always trying to bulk up in that area. Four 55 gallon barrels, 20 cases of 40 count bottle, 100 gallon bottles and a couple out tub water bladder I can fill in a pinch. Would love to get a couple of IVC totes but space is limited. Stay Safe & Keep Prepping! 🙂 God Bless
@@littlegreenpatch98 oh I anderstand why you need so mutch.
I can't store water as mutch I need or allmost any days. Only for one week. But it's better than nothing and God have promist to take care of the rest.
Sorry about my bad English writing.
Doing best possibal and faith is the only way to make it. BLESS
The amount of water that you have is great but it's not enough.keep adding to what you have . I was told ny people who have gone through a collapsed government that store as much water as possible. They said that water is the first thing that runs out . I have a 2 year supply of water..
Thank You. This is not all of our water storage. I have another 10 case’s of those 40 packs, four 55 gallon blue barrel’s full of treated water, 110 one gallon bottles of water, two 5 gallon blather’s I can fill up, two tub blather’s I can fill, a rain catchment system another 165 gallon which can be doubled easily, a fresh water creek we can draw from, a Berkey, life straws for every member of my immediate family and a good supply at our bug out location. An I still feel it is not enough but I will resume stocking up in January. Happy Holidays. Stay Safe & Keep Prepping! 🙏🏽
