Learn to grow food in your backyard so as not to live your life as a paranoid survivalist...

@johnagrechko Did you and I watch the same video? Sadly, you likely held that judgement before you even clicked on this vid..

What wonderful information. The worst thing is to buy excess food and not rotating it. I like to buy bulk 50 lbs grains, rice, beans and vacuum seal them in my vacupack and then put them into buckets or back into the #10 cans with lids. They last for many years and stay fresh. In 20 years I will not be eating 20 year old food but food that was rotated many times over and is still fresh and full of nutrients. Vacupack sealing is cheaper than #10 refills! Another way to save on food storage.

Absolutely right Crystal. Just stored rice, beans, oats, and wheat with 5 gallon buckets, Mylar liners and oxygen absorbers. Peace of mind is a good thing.

Hey, you don't need to explain. Thanks for the info.

I love your videos, but I have to ask a question (excuse me if this is stupid). I am looking at a can of corn or green beans at Aldi and paying $.50. Dehydrated stuff is a lot more expensive it seems - or at least the "Mountain House" and "Thrive" stuff that I've seen. I believe you when you say I can save money, but what am I missing here? Thanks!

@mikebius You can buy a food dehydrator for $50.

@mikebius Cans can go bad after about 2 years

[winikten1]

@Bolverkson1984 that's what the expiration date says, but if the cans are stored properly and are in tact, they will stay good for MUCH longer. there have been documented cases of canned good being still good after 5 years or longer.

@mikebius Ya commercial packed food is extremely expensive. Buy a Vacuum Sealer I have the VacUpack and it has sealed tons of food. But buy a good one I don't recommend a Foodsaver but anyway pack 20 to 50 lbs of rice, beans, grains, ect and then place them in buckets to keep rodents out. Rotate Rotate Rotate is the key and you will see the food bill go down and the quality of food go up in your home. Dehydrators are pretty cheap again get a good one I have the FD1000 from Nesco great unit!

@cedarfishify Will the stuff you ackage this way last 20-30 years? If so I'm getting one.

@mikebius Wet goods go bad quicker. Still not bad but wont last as long as wheat etc.
