    I fell back in December of 2021. I was lifelined to my state capital where the medical school is located. I was weak when I got back home. Thankfully something told me to put away extra supplies. It was 6 months before I could go get supplies.
    Since I was unable to cook for over a month, I was able to eat off of the filled orange bucket of jerky, dried fruit, nuts and trail mix. I have been expanding my food storage since then.
    I have lots of cheap pasta and sauce. I have bouillon cubes to make several years worth of soup. I have boosted my supplies to several years.
    I have 4 pantries and I rotate my supplies. I have a few gaps that I am filling but I know that I will be okay. The hardest part is being single and living alone.
    I have a collection of single ingredient #10 cans to make certain meals for about a year in my long term pantry. Friends gave me the buckets with the pouch family size meals but that requires refrigeration and a full working kitchen to prepare them. I also have a few key food grade buckets with single ingredients.
    There are places that have been giving out canned meat since 2020 but they have no one that wants it because of too many picky eaters that are poor. So I got as much as I can to keep it from going to the landfill. So I have 4 years worth of canned meat alone based on how I eat and how I cook. I supplemented that by purchasing as much of the $1 or less canned meat before the prices went up.
    Next, I have the plastic containers of dehydrated vegetables and freeze dried fruit from Mother Earth Food Products. I use them to add vegetables to basic dishes. I can add the vegetables to a simple bouillon cube dissolved in 2 cups of water for easy soup. I can add fruit to basic muffin mix or pancake mix or oatmeal or cream of wheat for variety and extra vitamin C. I went with Mother Earth Food Products because the survival food companies were getting too expensive for the quantity of food in the cans.
    I have a variety of powdered dairy from Hoosier Hills Farms as much of the powdered dairy is packed with chemical preservatives that I cannot have because of allergies and health problems. I like cheese, sour cream, butter and powdered milk but it has to be real dairy and not the chemical substitute.
    I chose YuPik pouches for my sugar needs as finding cane sugar and other options was worse than locating a needle in a haystack. YuPik also has other survival food products and they are mostly in just over 2 pounds pouches. Their dehydrated blueberries are a good deal cheaper than other companies.
    I have another pantry with short cut foods like Knorr SOPA and Knorr sides. I do not get enough sodium in my diet and I have this bad habit of not salting my food. So I get sodium from some processed food that I use to make easy shortcut meals. I try but I fail at salting my food.
    I keep a plastic shoebox size container with seasoning and gravy packets. I try to keep it full but my inventory got a little low. They were around 30 to 50 cents each at certain stores but they are rising to close to $1 each. So my supply got low. I need like 24 packets to get back to where I feel comfortable.
    I am short about 10 pounds of dried pasta that needs to be replaced. I keep several years of it but the store shelves had no pasta. I usually purchase the cheap pasta from the international aisle at Walmart but they have been sold out.
    I know that I have enough but I really need to top off certain items.

      I live on a mostly self sufficient homestead from 1900.
      There is an old cistern. It has two wells with backup tanks. There is also a 1000 gallon water collection system especially for drought. So I think That I am good.
      There is no television. There is no internet or wifi. It is a road trip to any of the small cities that surround the area. It is 2 miles from tourist site. They filmed movies in the area during the 1980s.
      There used to be a local grocery store. There used to be a large employer in the area with small homesteads surrounding the area. The employer closed. The grocery store shut down. People left the area. The mostly self sufficient homesteads sit vacant as no one wants to live here anymore. Land owners try to rent them out or sell them but no one wants to live out here. It is mostly peaceful until the poachers come nearly every weekend hunting deer which is illegal most of the year. It is also not safe as deer carry parasites and worms until it gets cold enough to kill them off. Around mid November, the temperature drops enough to take care of the parasite problems making deer meat safe to eat. Poachers also have no knowledge of gun safety and do not know how to read which makes them a danger to themselves and others.

    Agreed -- 2000 calories per day is a good estimate for a moderately active young adult. People over age 50 who are moderately active will probably need less -- more like 1500 to 1700 calories per day to maintain a healthy body weight. Teen boys may need closer to 3000 calories per day to feed a growing body. The correct number of daily calories for an individual will be how much the individual needs to maintain a healthy weight -- if there is too much weight gain or too much weight loss beyond a healthy weight, then the daily calories need to be adjusted. When living on just food storage it is important to exercise portion control and to ration food so that people do not free-graze and over-eat. Remember, when people are stressed and anxious, a lot of them will over-eat the sugary and starchy foods. And this can cause your household to run out of food too soon during a time when you cannot just run to the supermarket to replace your pantry food.
    People do quickly become tired of eating the same thing every day. Do replace some of that raw rice with plain, dry spaghetti pasta or macaroni pasta or packages of Ramen noodles to add variety to your meals and reduce cooking time. Consider replacing some of that delicious Spam with canned beef, chicken, tuna (oil-packed has more calories and fat) and salmon. Consider replacing some of that canned chili with dried lentils or split peas + onion flakes, curry powder, tomato powder, liquid hickory smoke seasoning and cheese sauce powder. This will give more variety to your basic, emergency meals.
    Ingredients for an inexpensive food storage breakfast: rolled oats + nonfat powdered milk + granulated cane sugar or honey. Cook the oatmeal with enough water so the resulting oatmeal porridge is a bit watery, then stir in the powdered milk and enough sugar or honey to give the level of sweetness you like. You can also boost the flavor by stirring in some ground cinnamon. If you have raw eggs or powdered eggs, you can boost the protein level of the oatmeal porridge by stirring in the equivalent of one egg per serving of fully cooked, piping hot oatmeal. The heat from the cooked oatmeal will cook the eggs and give the oatmeal a creamy, custard-like texture. Don't knock it until you have tried it.
    This kind of breakfast will cost a lot less than a quick, no-cook breakfast of Cheerios, Corn Flakes or other kind of boxed breakfast cereal served with refrigerated milk. But you will have to make the effort to actually cook the oatmeal. Plain rolled oats packed in heat-sealed Mylar + oxygen absorbers can easily store 20 years in a cool, dry, vermin-free pantry. Compare that to the "best by" date on a box of breakfast cereal flakes. Powdered nonfat milk re-packaged in Mylar + oxygen absorbers can easily store 10 years in a cool, dry, vermin-free pantry. Both sugar and honey can store forever (or as long as the containers last) in waterproof, food safe containers in a cool, dry, vermin-free pantry -- no need for oxygen absorbers for these two foods.
    Do make sure you have some form of vitamins if you will be living on food storage for more than a few weeks. The least costly form of Vitamin C is ascorbic acid powder (stir a little into a daily cool beverage) if you do not have access to fresh or frozen leafy green vegetables or sprouted wheat grain. Food storage is insurance against starvation.

    As usual, you show that there is a practical side to prepping. As neat as it us for those of us that have been doing it for a while to have an impressive stockpile, you don't need a hoard of stuff to be a responsible prepper. Start with the most likely needs/scenarios that history has shown, and shoot for that first and build more if you can justify doing so.

    We even put it to the test by eating sprouts for 2 meals a day for 2 1/2 years . So many different tastes that we didnt get tired of them . Also , we both had health issues get better . Diabetes , high cholesterol, high blood pressure and arthritis to name a few .

    Also since you mentioned honey I'll just add that its best to buy honey in glass jars so when it crystalizes you can just heat it in a pot of water and it reliquifies. A plastic bear container will just melt.

      You can put the plastic containers in hot water to soften up the honey shouldn't need to be a raging boil. Or if it was really rock hard you could just cut the plastic bear open and peel it off. But yes the jars would be much easier.

      If you're going to store honey long term, be careful of the kind you get, some honey is diluted and/or not "capped" honey. Meaning the bees have not finished curing it and capped the honey cell with wax.
      This is important as they only do this when the moisture content reaches a certain threshold.
      Otherwise its got too much moisture and it can mold.
      I highly recommend finding a local beekeeping association and getting honeybfrom a local beekeeper, just to be sure.

      You should be keeping a log book of all your long term food storage. I do this and then I have the front page where I add up the total calories I have. This is great for rationing and knowing how much (approximately) food you have, and how long you can last on your stock pile alone.
      I have a table in my food log book that shows how long my stockpile will last based off of the different amount of calories I am rationing for myself and kids/wife. If I do the bare minimum of calories needed for adults and children their age, my stockpile can last up to 4 1/2-5 years plus. But for the calorie expenditure I’m planning for, it will last me and my family about 2 1/2 years (I want us to eat fairly well if shtf). Obviously you have to account for needed micro nutrients as well, which is where storing vitamins comes in handy.

    My 90 day looks like high-quality Amy's soups, especially the Porcini Mushroom and Golden Lentil, they're the best flavors for my taste buds, Split Pea isn't bad either. Buy things everyone in your family wants to eat. I'm trying to store a variety of these soups since we can add rice, nuts, cheese, and meats to our soups to make them more filling and have interesting meals to look forward to during an SHTF. Lots of cans of pinto beans which we already use quit often. The other important thing is having cases of spaghetti sauce and plenty of pasta, this will help fill our stomachs.
    We do have a garden with lots of varieties of potatoes and we have several large fruit trees: green apples, oranges, lemons, mandarins, and persimmons. I am trying to grow paw-paw but that's still years away. I also raise various types of mushrooms, albeit be careful what you inoculate since Chaga will take over other varieties. I am also trying to grow various types of avocados but still those are years away.
    We need to increase the amount of cans of tuna and jars of mayo which can be stored to make tuna fish sandwiches and goes great with crackers. A case of SPAM isn't a bad idea. We have some Mountain House and ReadyWise meals but those we would use after we would run out of can foods and other supplies since those have the longest shelf life. The idea is to try to stock up on the things we already enjoy eating so we can keep on eating them in our daily lives and thus keep pushing out their expiration dates out as far as possible. I would like to build a Kanban storage rack so it would be easier to keep track of the expiration dates.
    It's also important to have lots of seasonings like lemon pepper and various types of salts and cooking oils. Store about a dozen jars of peanut butter, jams/jellies, and unsweetened chocolate powder, it's less tempting to use it rather than storing chocolate bars. I also store up boxes of Malt o Meal, cream of rice, grits, and instant oatmeal cereals.
    During an SHTF we must eat everything in the fridge and freezer first and save the can foods and dehydrated/freeze dried for later. Sadly we will miss the dairy and fresh meats, that's how it goes.

    What you have on that table will definitely feed you but you will have food fatigue. Get some sweets, some cheese and crackers, peanut butter and jelly. Make ghee from unsalted butter and get flour, sugar and yeast so you can make bread, tortillas, etc. Believe me, you will be glad you did. Amazon has sales on the number 10 cans of Augason freeze dried foods. The pancake mix is awesome. Get some honey and real maple syrup. Get yourself some matches, candles, medical supplies and batteries. You need the most basic items for lighting, cooking and staying warm. Get blankets for warmth. I know your video is about having three months of food on hand in case you can't get out but why would you not be able to get out? Those are the things you'll also need to address. You'll need water on hand and if you are in an apartment building, if there is a power loss or water loss, the higher up you go the harder it will be to flush down whatever goes in your toilet so it would be good to think about the bathroom issue for your mental health and quality of life.

      I also have supplies to make a sourdough starter to save on yeast. I practice baking bread twice a month. Tortillas are also a good option as the simple recipes are flour, salt, fat and water. And they are simply fried in flat pieces so no baking required.

    How much water does it take to wash rice before cooking? I stocked Minute Rice since only need water to cook (no wash required). I’m assuming water isn’t coming out the faucets & I’m not an experienced rice cooker.
    Same with dry beans that need soaking before cooking? I stocked canned to minimize water usage, but again I’m a clueless cook.

      you don't have to wash rice. Some claim it makes it softer/fluffier/less starchy, but its just a preference thing, not a safety issue or anything. I don't wash my rice when cooking it normally. I have as an experiment and couldn't tell the difference.
      But when I have done it I didn't measure how much water I used.

      The longer you can soak your beans, the LESS fuel source it will take to cook them. 6-8 hrs if going straight to cooking. Beans soaked for 24 hrs= 2.5/3 hrs. Cook time. That will save you a LOT of fuel.
      Rice, if grown in America is just 1 quick rinse. Rice from overseas has high levels of Arsenic, so wash repeatedly.

      Minute Rice in microwave is simple & minimizes water. But I’ll be using propane during SHTF.
      Cooking Minute Rice on stove can create a dirty pot that needs water to clean if not careful:)

      So how are you going to cook the rice and beans without electricity?
      I have a few suggestions. I have a pickup truck with outlet. I have a few small kitchen appliances that can be plugged into the truck. I can run the truck for a short period of time to operate the appliances to make quick meals. Those 3 appliances are a generic Kcup machine, a 6-1 rice cooker and a small hot plate griddle. To go with the Kcup machine I have a variety of just add hot water food and beverage options as well as dishes in a tote to last me a while. I have the rice cooker as it can steam vegetables to go with my rice or be used to make soup or hot cereal or a crock pot meal. The griddle is for simple quick frying of food if needed.
      Another option is a pellet camping stove. It is a basic metal frame that folds up. You add firestarter pellets to light it and top with broken sticks from the yard. I have enough supplies to operate it for 72 meals. I have a small mess kit that goes with it. I can heat up canned meals easily like canned chili or fry up spam. Of course I have other options because I have to have a variety. I do not have to worry about storing extra fuel. And the pellets are available at the Dollar Tree occasionally. I do have to watch the cooking time as it gives me less than 10 minutes so I cannot prepare meals that take a long time to cook..
      Another possible set up is a catering stove. Take a deep dish pan and put your fuel can inside then top it with a metal baking rack. Put your pan on the metal baking rack to cook. All pieces can be purchased for cheap. Replacing fuel cans cost money. I do have it as a backup. Cooking time is a few hours depending on how you set it up.
      Next, I have an alternative that is a cross between the pellet stove and the catering setup using tea candles as the heat source instead of pellets. It adds another 50 rounds of cooking to my plans. It gives me about an hour cook time which means that I can boil water for pasta. I can use my pellet stove frame and put a candle in it while topping it with a baking rack. I am ready for some spaghetti.
      Of course, I do have solar options. I have a small power bank. I have an indoor garden under my skylights and I have a backup solar charging light for it because daylight is shorter in the winters. So I have extra seeds for salad greens and sprouts which requires no cooking.
      I do have a fire pit with cooking grate and an endless supply of firewood. I use junk mail to start my fire which saves on lighter fluid. I can make foil meal packets. I just have to keep chopping firewood.
      I have a gas grill as a backup cooking option that takes propane but fuel tanks cost money.
      I do have solar. I also have a generator as well as battery backup. I can run an extension cord to key outlets and operate small kitchen appliances from that as well.
      I could put food on a baking sheet and put it on the vehicle dash in hot weather and bake my meal in a hot car if I need to do it.
      I also have supplies for making a variety of rocket stoves just in case.
      So have you thought about how you are going cook your food in an emergency?

      Plan A for most of my cooking is my Sun Oven.

As a final backup I have a couple rocket stoves can can burn whatever wood is available, and some small alcohol stoves.

      well anything in cans or stored properly in the buckets shouldn't be ruined by short term flooding. The cans could rust if they didn't get dried off after though.

    Food fatigue is real you know.
    I can go to the Grain Elevator and for about $500 leave with a ton of food, ... 2000 lbs of assorted grains and beans. Whole Wheat, Whole Oats, Whole corn, and Soy Beans, ... very important are the Soy Beans.
    No dried peas and that's a bugger, Peas are even better than beans when it comes to nutrition. Anyway, that would be a years worth of food. ..... a year.
    And yes, food fatigue is a real thing.
    No Grain Elevator?
    Try the Feed Mill for animals, .. just don't expect GMO free or "organic", you'll be laughed at.
    Our feed mill has Black Oil Sunflower Seed they sell as bird feed and I hear it makes great sprouts if it isn't "treated" but most bird feed isn't these days.
    That's another way to get fresh live nutritious food in your belly, sprouts. So easy and so fast. Days instead of the months a garden takes.
    The Mung Beans I buy from the store sprout wonderfully for me. A tbsp of seed fills the quart jar I use with sprouts.
    Food fatigue eh? Who woulda thunk it?
    Good luck.

      @TheLordHumungus  Рік тому

      I never said it wasn't real. I said its not a major concern when you are talking about 90 days and already at least 3-4 different meal options.
      It can be an issue with a VERY restrictive diet (like only ONE food), and fairly long time period. Its the body's way of trying to make sure you are getting enough actual nutrition
      Eating 3-5 different meals with a decent macro split for a mere 3 months is not going to cause any actual problems.
      Lots of people on carnivore diet eat nothing but meat for years. There was a weird vegan kid in one of my college classes who ate nothing but bananas for months.
      Even if you ate only the 3 things in this video for 90 days (which I never said to do anyway) you would be fine

      Why should I have to give away my food to people who waste money and are not prepared? Sure I work with a small prepping group with 2 other people but I draw the line at giving my food away on wasteful people who did nothing to prepare for the future.
