Ultimate Prepper: My Food Storage System - Full Year Supply for Family and Friends.

- Failure to prepare means preparing to fail. Hard times have come to every society that has ever existed, and it will come to ours sooner or later. My wife and I have always had some level of food storage, whether under our beds when we lived in a small apartment, or dedicated rooms now that we live in a much larger home. It is remarkably easy to be food prepared, and it saves substantial money by buying large quantities of food supplies when on sale and using those supplies while prices are higher. This is both a money-smart and a preparedness-smart approach to having a sustainable food storage.
My daughter lives with me in a 2 bedroom apartment. We have a small chest freezer and I can lots of things. We use every available space for food and non food storage. I am 78. If I can prep on a fixed income so can you. Get busy.
I agree.im 58 and disabled from a broke back.i buy extra water and canned food Everytime I go to the store.i grow veggies in buckets and the flower bed.my landlord lets me I live in a apartment.i have 2 dogs for protection and Ammo.Ax.steelballbat.knife.
Absolutely!!! By one eat one or buy five, store them.
Ours is coming in handy right now since my husband has lost hours at work
I agree.
72 and on SS no extra money . Where there’s a will there’s a way to prepare.Praying for all.🙏🏻
Well done !!!
I will also say, your wife is very fortunate, I’m doing this all alone.
As I watch this I thought the same thing 72 widow. We just trust in the Lord and keep on prepping.
I’m doing it by myself too.
We are a retired couple. No land to speak of. But I have set aside 3 months worth of food. Given that we are older, we can be ok with repetition and not the greatest variety. Better than going hungry.
How wise you are.
@@andreagardner2335 me to
Awesome! Keep going!
@@andreagardner2335 I agree.i did the same.i buy a couple extra cans of food every time I go to the store.
Much of your information including the history, is solid. Here is the "but"... I would strongly encourage you to keep your food storage to yourself! No photos, videos or locations should ever be made public. Unknowingly, you sir, have just put your family's security at risk from raiders like the criminal element, FEMA (about the same as far as your food preps go) and even desperate/scared neighbours. You may even want to rethink posting this video. I live remote, so this is definitely a concern for us. Be safe. Be vigilant and God bless.
delete the video they r watching everything.
Wow I missed videos like this. They were all the rage in the early days of youtube preparedness. Always a bit of fun.
I agree with you 100%. If you are able to prep a little extra to share to help sustain your community it will be so beneficial in the long run. I am prepping what I can and if/when we get to the last bucket of grain I will pray that the Good Lord will multiply it for as long as needed!
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it...❤😂❤...stay strong people...
The Lord lead me to start preparing in 2010..when Obama was in office. I started with once a month orders of #10 cans of dehydratedand freeze-dried foods..about a case a month. I bought whatever they had on sale that we would eat. I did that for 7-8 years. Then I thought I had better learn to garden..so I started to do that. A couple of years later, I started canning. Then I bought 40 acres off grid..with solar, a small cabin and the start of a root cellar. We almost have our place finished..complete with 2 extra cabins for family and a green house. We feel we are ready for almost anything..
That’s my dream but impossible to afford now.Also I don’t even know where is safe anymore,crime seems to be everywhere.
@@johnnyhotrod I think it may still be possible in the Midwest, small farming communities have lower prices for houses and small acreages. We got so lucky (blessed) to find our place 5 years ago for under 100k..
I began when that demon entered office in 2016...great minds think alike

This sounds wonderful!!! Hope it's not too late for me/the rest of us!
I’m paying attention. I’m always open to new ideas. I’m a 59 year old female. I’m the “ Godfather “ of the family responsible for my autistic son and prep for my grandkids too. I’m going to glass jar eggs soon. Thanks for your video.
My hubby and I also bought a chest freezer for 70 from a friend. It works great
Yesss well done! Found this video extremely informative and would enjoy more from you on prepping!
Great set-up; very inspiring! It's never too late to start! Doing SOMETHING is better than nothing. It makes me feel good to find so many "regular" people are taking steps to be more self-reliant.
I appreciate your thought process regarding sharing food you grow with others. The issue I see is the others spread the good news and soon you could be overrun with others expecting you to continually feed them. Or they will come and strip every edible thing they can find. Many of these “others” are not from here and don’t have the values we have grown up with.
Add bungee cords to perimeters of those wooden shelves. It would be a shame if a minor quake broke even 10% of those glass jars.
Excellent share. Thank you! 🙏🏻 This was smart, helpful, resourceful, and interesting.
Good advice : buy items at yard sales , ON sale and grow some of your own food !
You have good ideas. Thank you for sharing!
I'm impressed with your mushroom grow room. It's a hobby of mine I tend to practice in our winters. I've been drying wine cap mushrooms out of the garden all summer. It was an interesting curve learning all the new ways to grow mushrooms. You should try growing them on wood chips in your garden every time I get a heavy rain I get a container full of mushrooms.
Wow, you are lucky to have so much land! We only have a garden now but are saving to be able to buy more land.
I am pleased to have found your channel and hope to see you grow as you share your message of self reliance and preparedness. I look forward to viewing your past and future video posts as well.
You are good at this!! Subscribed
First time viewer here. Great job, great message, great mindset.
Love all of the hand writing on the walls and ceiling.
Observation: thumbtacks on the map. Significance?
Where the people the signed the wall were from.
And things we haven't thought of- "Black Swan Events"
@@meghanschwanke1133 true
Just stumbled in....Hand Salute.....your an amazing guy....just subbed
I like all the elders signature’s on The walls!!
Thank you
Where is your land? I'm looking for the same thing! The point is to grow food not just for my family but also for the community. Thanks for the video! God bless you. 🙏🕊
The $1,000/acre good land with easy water is no longer available in Idaho, but I know some people with 40 acre lots for around $150K in Idaho that is about 5 miles from town and about 1 mile off of pavement on a county maintained gravel road. Idaho has had massive amounts of people moving in so prices have exploded in the last four years.
Info much appreciated! Stay safe!
@@BelieverofChristJesus70 It's Butte county, Idaho. About 4.5 miles to the southeast of Arco. It's adjacent to millions of acres of public land (BLM). I have a house about 1/2 mile away. There are also some other houses 1 mile to the north. Otherwise, there's no homes to the south for 60 miles. The county only plows once a day in the winter so if the wind is high, the piles will lock you in for a day occasionally. There's also no power at that location. You'd have to bring in the power line about 1 mile to make it work. Solar would be a better option. Downside is that there are no trees anywhere. Just grass and sagebrush. Although close to town, the city is only 1,000 strong. Groceries, lumber, hardware, etc are all about 4.5 miles away, but the big city is about 60 miles to the east if you want to visit Walmart.
@@russlivesay9325 wow, that sounds so rural and beautiful. Stay safe everyone!
Love this video, you apparently have chalk paint on your walls, very well organized pantries
Great video.
We dug a water channel around the property where the house sits its 30ft wide and 15ft deep. 1 way in or out and i am adding this steel spike that is controlled by its own battery system across the road to keep out the trespassers. The water channel has a few baby gators i am raising to get them big enough to deter anyone thinking about stepping in the water. Signs are posted so i have done my part on the legal side :)
Good heavens 🥴🤦🏻♀️
Register to be notified of estate sales in your area. When the old folks pass, the kids just sell off the goods. They just want the money. Great deals at garage sales and estate sales.
I am happy that you are prepared but I question the value of getting people know.
I assume you meant "letting" not "getting." Perhaps there's little value in that, but I think information regarding what people have done is more valuable considering the wider audience than the tiny probability of having marauders invade this very sparsely populated county in central Idaho.
Being Vegan I applaud the growing of mushrooms. However, they don't have many calories, could u say more about why u would want to cultivate them in a time of scarcity. I'd love to see someone do an analysis of vegan vs meat centric diets during scarcity times.
Really your not saving much at all if you don't pay the cc before the pay date as interest is monthly and compounded on top of that. So in three months without paying your cc your 10% savings has cost you over the regular price therefore zero savings. Even if you paid half the bill in four months time the savings is the same price. Just have the money up front folks and stay out of debt. You can certainly use the cc but pay it before the 21 days to have zero interest.
I know you said you have greenhouses and land but do you store seeds as well? Can depend on a crop to produce seeds because of blight,Disease drought etc. No livestock? Chickens especially easy to care for you would get eggs and fresh meat and can grow their feed(Corn) on your land. A good system is canned goods. Last for a few years and you can use and resupply the cans as you go to keep everything up to date and in stock. What about fuel for Generators? Solar/wind backups. Medicines pain,fever etc. again you can use and replace as you go. Protection is one of the most valuable tools you can have in quanity because when the SHTF people will want to take whats yours. Ammo at least 10k rounds and multiple Rifles and handguns. Learning to Booby trap your property lines is important as well. Early warning intruder traps can give you the seconds/minutes you need to arm and defend yourself and family. Desperate hungry people will have no limits on to what they will do to take yours.
!wsome set up.
Odd question why the pins in the map behind you. I see one in my town/area.
Remember u can stocking up all the food but once u have to run to leave your home u can only take so much supplies with u!
@@CTROCK your home is your Castle.dont leave unless it burns down.then live in the garage or shed.
@@LisaRucker-x8k -Agree!
What if power goes out? Do you have a generator so your food doesn't go bad? Or to keep warm, use small appliances etc?
We have two separate solar power systems and a third I'm going to install. None at this location, but its easy to bring the food five miles to my bug-out house or 2.5 miles out to my greenhouses. Good question! I'd like to go solar in town, but its too much of a hassle with all the permits.
It makes me hopeful to see so many families playing it smart, stockpiling food, growing gardens, and learning homesteading skills - even people living in cities. The silver lining of the 2020 insanity is that millions of people finally woke up to the insanity of relying on one's 'government' to do a good job of keeping our countries running, the utter joke of relying on our commercial/govt systems to sustain us through difficult times. Govts around the world proved just the opposite. Most elected politicians care only about themselves and are part of the NWO mindset.
I agree!
Don’t show your prep supplies.. People who are desperate will come to your home 🏠 to steal from you.
That was my first thought, practicing grey man is so very important
Get a fishing pole.everyone needs one.grow veggies in buckets if you rent a apt.its what i do.get a bike.tire patch kit.air pump.you might need it.get a oil lamp.they sell at Walmart in the camping section for $10.00 also keep cash at home.if electric is out ATMs don't work.get solar path lights.charge them during the day bring them in at night.everyone needs protection.get a dog.Ammo.Ax.steelballbat.knife.
I agree that having emergency stash is imperative but my concern is people who have these will be attacked/kill for it.
Thoughts
Please don't show your prep again . Just do the content with showing it . Other than that , awesome video .
I see elder and sister writing everywhere in there!!! Your LDS or mormin
Are you in the Placerville CA area?
Idaho.
"We do a lot of canning" -Points at jars, not cans. lol
Jars are what you use for canning
What state do you live in, I’m scouting around to buy land and need some tips. I curious on how hard it is to deal with cold winters in states like Colorado, Idaho, Dakotas etc.
Brutal and non-stop winters here, but I'm in the worst county in Idaho. There's better places, but this is about as cheap as it gets right now. Idaho has had a three fold increase in house prices because of so many move-ins in the last four years, so its not really affordable today as it was pre-COVID.
The Dakotas the wind blow constantly and makes evn colder in winter
Colorado no idea.
Idaho southern Idaho not that cold. Northern Idaho..COLD AND SNOWY AND COLD.
MONTANA YA DONT COME THE WINTER WILL KILL YOU
I had to drive up to Billings, Montana on Wednesday to pick up a load of chicks at the post office. While there, we went to the new COSTCO store. I was shocked at the small selection of fresh meats and produce compared to the mountains of prepared foods.
You lost me at prepping on credit cards.
Stop showing your preps!!!!
Prepping must be nice for those physically able. For those who aren't and exist Way below the poverty line prepping is merely a
Dream. No vehicle or ability to drive anyone's vehicle.
Born Starving, exiting Starving it looks like. We all gotta die some way.
Do not buy into his philosophy of using credit cards, don’t.
I'm not saying use credit cards to build your storage. I'm simply pointing out that there are scenarios where it is financially advantageous to use credit cards to buy items at a significant discount if someone pays off the cards at a rate where the interest is less than the savings by buying in bulk.
I see disturbing writing on the walls about Elders... really hope this guy isn't a JW...
I always recommend being self-sustaining if at all possible as these are individuals most fit to weather any storm. I think people that think this is crazy or unnecessary are the real gamblers, considering the shape of our economy, rising inflation, goverment corruption, etc.
