Prep and QUICKLY! Areas in and around the Kabul airport have been hit, This is just the beginning folks!
I’m sorry I couldn’t get through the entire video. Is there an alternative meat to use other than organs?
@@gizmosworld5855 The entire structure of a cow, pig, chicken, deer, etc etc are all various organs, search for the leanest possible with the highest nutritional value, but during an shtf.. Come on, that really gonna matter about being picky about what parts, You're gonna use what you can get
Imho I think you can use lean meat though the nutrition value is less than organ meats but in a shtf situation any meat powder would be good to supplement your diet.
Could liver or other organ meats be used instead of heart? Thanks
I love it when you or other preppers give PRACTICAL advice or facts. Keep it up.
we're working on a lot more videos like this
Great idea. Especially for us that don't have a freeze drier. Thanks for sharing this tip.
pemican has been around for thousands of years. 1 lb of pemican is equal to 6000 calories. keeps a long time without refrigeration and tastes good too my grandma used to make it along with acorn flour oat flour she also collected hazel nuts hickory nuts beech and horse chestnuts.. she stung beans for leather britches she dried in the attic of the house. grandad hunted fished and raised pigs chickens ducks and geese as well as Guinea fowl. they never went hungry even when the depression hit..both lived to be 99 and loved each other till the day they died.
Thank you Chris!💜
Btw: I do this with my end of season tomatoes too. Tomato powder!
Perfect!
I use zucchini powder to thicken my spaghetti sauce.
How do you make your tomato powder? Thanks!
@@Melmelba I give the tomatoes a buzz in the blender. Very carefully pour it into the fruit leather tray (you may need to lightly oil it). Spread it out evenly. 115 degrees for about 18 hours. Let it cool and make sure it's crispy dry! Put that into the blender or coffee grinder.
I keep it in a jar that's vacuum sealed.
Thank you SO much for these practical prepping vids. I've been suffering Doom Fatigue for a while now, and content like this is more hopeful and helpful!
That’s a good name for what we’re all feeling.
You and me both. I regularly take breaks from internet, for few days at a time, to not to go crazy.
Btw, it's good to know there's another prepper in Ireland 👍
I'm moving to a homestead so I can put all this information into practice and then stop paying attention to how everything is going to shit. That's the only way I know how to get truly prepared and also maintain my mental health.
@@BRUtahn bring a lot of books and a variety of means to pass the time or I guarantee you it will end up being deleterious in itself. Gotta learn how to make peace with isolated self sufficiency as a lifestyle before you can survive it.
@@militustoica having homesteaded for 10 years in West Virginia without electricity, I can assure you that the simple life is MUCH better than life in our farce of a civilization. It's many times more meaningful, relevant, and rewarding. To be even half as independent as we were, you ALWAYS have things to do. If you have a half of a brain and a pinch of wisdom, you'll get by.
That said, DO bring books. Start with practical subjects like livestock raising and care. Learn medicinal herbs. Gardening from a permaculture perspective since it's the best for variety, redundancy in cropping, THE most regenerative, and more. Whatever is done should be regenerative at the least. Get your practical subjects and then get good books you can reread.
The best writing I've read in any genre is the Patrick Rothfuss books; THE NAME OF THE WIND, and THE WISE MAN'S FEAR. the only pisser is that he didn't edit the 3rd book in the trilogy.
When I saw your video on meat powder, it rang a bell. I recalled that meat powder is the stuff fed to dogs 90-130 years ago by Russian scientist Ivan Pavlov in his Nobel Prize winning studies of digestion, as well as his famous classical conditioned reflex experiments. Maybe that's trivia, but it's what he fed his dogs (actually a full-scale kennel) during extremely hard times including long freezing winters, shortages, famines, revolution, assassinations, and war. Somehow, Pavlov managed to survive despite early poverty and later open contempt of the Bolsheviks and Stalin. I'm thinking Pavlov and his meat powder should go into the Prepper Hall of Fame.
Rang a bell🤣🤣🤣
Glad to know this as another option. I've been watching canning videos. People can cooked salmon, cooked ground beef, cooked chicken, cooked roast beef, cooked soups and stews, cooked deer/moose/caribou, almost anything. Mom gave me her Joy of Cooking cookbook and was surprised to see people even canned seafood, lobster, shrimp, etc. Wherever you live, whatever you have access to. 😀
Personally, I'd dehydrate a few of those for soup powder, too.
@@mackenziedrake thanks! I'm blending spices right now, then going to dehydrate. 😀
@@deborahtrout8821 canned seafood surprises you? Have you ever had a look at what's in the canned section in your local supermarket? lol fish is one of the most canned items! Far more canned fish than spam! And that's without including canned pet food in the range, with canned cat food being almost all fish.
Go look in your local supermarket to get ideas of what's possible :)
@@mehere8038 actually I was talking about people canning at home, pressure canning, etc. I know grocery stores have that. 😄
@@deborahtrout8821 ok, so why would it surprise you people would be doing the same things grocery stores do at home?
What a great idea! I think it's great that you added our pets in our prep plans. I have 2 freeze dryers for home use. Right now I have beef and veggies going for my 3 100+ pound Rottweilers. Any meat I do for them I boil and freeze dry the broth also. They love it! We make our own dog food and since I've been prepping it seems like a never ending task with them alone, double the work. We include our furry girls in our food prep along with water. Excellent video, thank you! May God Bless us all...
I’m glad you included our dogos for shtf.
Fascinating. I appreciate how you add in the non-prepper uses as well.
👍
Dehydration seems to be the best way to make long lasting foods. It's an inexpensive alternative to pressure canning or freeze drying and many people feel that with proper storage that the life expectancy or shelf life will be at least one year and some think much more if combined with vacuum sealing, Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers.
Canning is great, but requires replacement lids and sometimes the canning jars are not in stock. And you need to use the stove and monopolize the kitchen. Since Ball or Mason jar lids can be reused or used jars repurposed with dry foods (We also have airtight containers like the Oxo type) that really cuts costs and dependence on having to buy new lids all the time.
Rice, beans and grains are great, but just the flavor of meat and the added protein would be most welcomed during times of strife.
So i recently accidentally made this. I made a batch of jerky that was waaay too salty. Broke it up, put it in the processor, baked the powder for 2 hours, and sealed it in a jar.
Looking forward to using it.
I dehydrated beef liver and put it into capsules but I never even thought to make beef powder. I'm so glad I happened onto our site! Thanks!
Have you tried making the liver powder? Just got my first machine and got fresh heart delivered this morning.
Wow, that's a lot of nutrition. "That's some spicy meatball" from a popular TV commercial.
Hahahaha 😂
I have a lapband. The liquid diet they make you endure at various times can become very unsatisfying. I thought at first blended meats (liquified) was unappealing. I was wrong. I remember making lima beans and adding ham. Then I blended it with a hand blender. It was so good and satisfying. It was quite tasty and a very welcome break over milk shakes, jello, pudding, and other soft foods. I loved the flavorful proteins. It made the bland diet tolerable.
Milkshakes? Jell-O? Pudding? They're trying to kill you with anti- nutritional crap!!!
I want to make this. Mainly for my 15 year old cats. I made homemade cat food with all the good meats and veggies for them. I pressure canned it. One sort of eats it but the other one turns his nose up at it. At least I know that if it came down to it, humans can eat it lol.
Cats are obligate carnivores. They don't eat vegies.
@@annesummers09 These veggies were so little it just added nutrients.
Thanks for including the pets in your video. Very valuable information.
I can attest to that this recipe is great! I did something like this two years ago. Used three hearts and more or less exactly the spices/green. I did one "batch" super lean, absolutely no fat. The other with very little fat. Put the two different batches in three small jars each. The super lean, I can still use today, have one jar of the very little fat, is slowly going rancid. But o my, it tastes so much better then bought broth. The only part that is missing, it was my own grown garlic and ginger :) (and ofc the heart) Great video..! Edit: when you cut the meet down, go as small as you can by knife, it will really help when you try to make it into a powder as the final stage)
Best, to the point video of making meat powder I've seen! Thank you!
Wow I've never seen a video like this before! With everything going on in the world today this is such a great idea! I will be making some for my family including my pets asap!! Thanks for sharing!
I keep two years of multivitamins around to prevent various nutritional deficiency diseases to supplement my food cache.
Oh, also, tip for cat owners - make them broth like he describes for dogs using the bones from your leftovers alone. They’re chronically dehydrated, but saltless stock can really drive them to hydrate more.
That is brilliant. 💝
This is goals. I'm working on my vitamin stash.
I mix a quarter tin of cat food with equal quantities of warmish water every morning for my cats. The rest of the day they feed on hard kibble and mice and voles but they beg for their soup in the morning.
@@phoebegraveyard7225 They hunt mice and voles in your yard? Sounds like a fulfilling life for a cat. I avoid having my cats live outside due to losing two to coyotes and the chaos of a flea infection. I wish I had a controlled space for mine to hunt in.
Also, after about fifteen years of hearing Dinovite radio ads for Dogs, finally Dinovite has a product for cats. I have a few kitties, and have started to stock Dinovite for cats in the event they wind up having to eat the same crummy foods I might have to eat. I've seen marked improvements in the fifteen year old kitty, so recognize it is having a marked affect even not the full suggested dose.
Wonderful video and again I thank you for giving information that helps even some of us more seasoned preppers.
Glad to help
Hi from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures and everyone else
You bet
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Extremely valuable information.
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent! I have a couple of beef hearts from steers we raised last year, and didn't quite know what to do with them. Thanks for sharing! :-)
Thanks for all the good content; I honestly didn’t know that onion and garlic aren’t good for dogs and cats and shouldn’t be included in their diet even in small portions or in dried meat powder! Much appreciated.
Also tomatoes, at least that's what I've heard, and yet I see them in commercial pet food.
And no grapes. No xylitol. No macadamia nuts.
cool. i made some pemmican last month, basically meat powder mixed with tallow. i threw a chunk in a skillet and scrambled it into some eggs and it was pretty good. i'm looking forward to being able to have a legit meat source in my pantry for the rainy days ahead.
vacuum seal the powder and store in your freeze until needed - lasts forever this way
Thanks
I have been trying to figure out a way to add protein to my preps other than beans. Great video, thanks.
now that's convenience. Just snap your finger! Love it.
it worked so often when making this video that we got lazy :)
This was so helpful. Solved on of my prepping problems. Thank you!
Interesting recipe. Thanks!
Thanks so much. I’m looking forward to learning more about this topic! Thx so much Chris 🙏 Yoda best 🤓
My pleasure!
Thanks CP, you have a good feel for how to present your info.
I found a variety of what was essentially MREs at an Indian grocery store. The brands are MTR and Haldrams Minute Khana. And they make ready to eat Indian meals in Mylar bags, like Paneer Butter masala, Aloo Mutter (potato stew), and veg Biryani. They cost me around $2 each and I eat them all the time with some basmati rice. They are really good
Thanks
I bet you could make some really good Pemmican from that.
Good idea.
@@teresaroman3348 Thanks!
Doesn't pemmican require much more fat?
@@ljprep6250 It should be equal amounts for the tallow to meat ratio.
Great info. I have an elderly cat who will definitely benefit from this.
I just got a freeze dryer. I'm excited to try this
Hope you like it! We'll be introducing a lot of FD videos shortly.
WOW, this is excellent information!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for this excellent video and suggestion. Look forward to more videos like this one.
Glad you liked it!
Im Gonna try this today with deer meat.. it's pretty lean and clean. This is fantastic idea! My main concern is my freezer going out. I'd love a freeze dryer but that's simply not in my budget any time soon. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!👍😂👍😂💚❤
You need meat powder for pemmican as well and I usually dehydrate my jerky until is is super brittle and crunchy. This way I can store it for a very long time.
This is a great idea and alternative to Pemmican, the forever meat survival food. And this can be made into Pemmican if using beef, just throw in some of this for extra nutrition and flavour, like bullion (great comparison by the way). The only difference really is that Pemmican lasts longer than this because of the fat (beef tallow) and you need fat for survival. Plus a little help from berries sometimes added to Pemmican and their antioxidants help preservation too. But they both start out the same way, as a meat powder.
I love practical videos like this. Will be making some of this for sure 👍
I learned something new. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to hear it!
I made your pemmican recipe. It is very good. Now I am looking forward to trying this recipe. Thank you Chris.❤️
Glad you liked it!!
Would it be wise to add a bit of ascorbic acid as a preservative?
I'm blown away by this video! Just subscribed!
cool, he said "make some beef hearty meat powder". Love the play on words. Great video.
Thank you so much for this. I need to prep for my dogs and this seems to be the cheapest option.
Very interesting topic. While homemade, it's the only way you can be sure what's in your powder.
Yes indeed
This is my favorite video you ever did
Hello, can you please make a video about which foods we should and shouldn't store in mylar bags. Also, which ones do we need oxygen absorbers for and not. I'm still not sure which foods can store and how long they'll be good for. Such as, sugar and flour. Very confusing! My husband, mother, and myself love watching your videos by the way.
I would also assume that this powder travels well in a backpack and is "light" so it doesn't cause any extra added weight to your traveling......well played Cris.
Really good in rice after its cooked too. I carry beef and or chicken broth when I'm outdoors with my pack. This meat powder looks sooo much better!
I suggest adding synthetic antioxidants such as ascorbyl palmitate
Thank you. Good idea.
Can make other bullion like chicken, anchovies, mushroom & vegetables, onion powder, garlic powder. Lemon powder? Hemm... Will start experimenting😊
Very well explained, thank you.
I have tons of bullion powder , paste , broths , etc I rotate it bit I have used 5 year old bullion stored in a controlled climate and it’s been good.
This is Great- Exactly What I needed - THANK YOU
Dumb question. Can you use lean chicken or pork or beef?
Awesome idea.Loads of nutrients per gram,long shelf-life. It's foolproof.
Good job, CP. On the Right track. Next is making Pemmican cakes. Use cupcake molds, 2 portion of dry meat - (no flavor), 1 portion of rendered fat, 1/4 potion of dried berries.
What's the best fat to use for this?
@@theclumsyprepper :tallow or melted Suet
@@Diebulfrog79 thanks 👍
Love it ! I've been trying to figure out how to best feed my dogs with processed game and cage animals, while saving meat for the family. I wonder if hairless skin and bones could be powdered and stored ? You did mention lean meat, so I'm guessing fat is not a friend of meat powder.
You're right. Fat will go rancid over time, that's why he used lean meat.
I'm gonna try this to add on steak and other meals for a beefier flavor thankyou
Now that's cool AF!
thanks for making and uploading, it was helpful
Fantastic video. Great for prepping but good to use regularly. I'm looking forward to sneaking this organ meat into my children's food.
Excellent
Thank you
Thanks.
What a great way to use organ meats that someone else might throw away! Could do the same with chicken, right?
Since you're cooking it, any lean meat would work. If it's good and dry, you want to prevent fats from going rancid, which an oxygen absorber will do.
@@mackenziedrake Thanks, MacKenzie!
Absolutely trying this. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
Excellent! Please keep these videos coming. Very helpful.
Thanks, will do!
Great info thanks
Such a good video! Thank you!
Great information
Make meat to fiber is fork floss, which is a delicious Asian processed food
I really am excited to try it. Can you do same with Chicken?
Gotta try that
Great vid man. Million dollar advice.
Glad it was helpful!
*'Where's the beef?!!'* 🤣
Heck. I've been feeding beef heart to my dog for years.
Awesome. Will definitely try
Thank you. ❤
Great information thank you 👍👍
Just bought some dehydrated water from ebay. I kid
Thanks for sharing this tip much appreciated :)
Very Interesting!
I thought the temp while dehydrating is the temp it takes for meat to spoil. Thats why they say should refridgerate within 2 hrs after cooking.
Thanks for this info
Could you do this with chicken or even pork? I get gout, and beef is not the best for me. Great idea!
Thank you for sharing this great video. I need to try
ok this one was amazing saved and shared
Thank you for sharing this recipe. When you say to "mill it" does it mean to use a vegetable food mill or grain mill or do you mean mill it only in a blender or food processor?
This is an amazing recipe. Thank you.
Glad you like it!
Awesome thanks for learnings us !!! Cheers
This is best for emergency ration and can be used to make soup
Can’t wait to try this!
