Another food preservation method to consider is to dehydrate it, esepcially from your garden. Dehydrated foods not only last FOREVER but they take up way less room and are easier to transport in larger quantities if you would need to leave your home. The downside is that to rehydrate you need water. But if you're properly prepared, that shouldn't be too big an issue.
I learned to zipplock bag and FREEZE,,, Easy with a 24 CU FT chest freezer. Runs on $37.00 per year of electricity from my solar panel.. I can freeze meat for UP TO 16 years... tested true!!!!. The secret PACK MEAT IN SOY BEAN OIL AND THEN FREEZE IT (no more freezer burn) Use Olive oil or your favorite oil too... think of the oil as an eatable anti-freeze, Lasts for decades packed in oil! JUST FREEZE IT! I'm SO done with canning now that I bought a big freezer and a jug of vegetable oil !!!
People hungry enough will come knockin on your door. Piss enough people off, and they will look for your well to contaminate it. You WILL be defending your property/well. I believe it will get this bad
This is a very good start. Just a few things I'd like to add from various observations. BUY LOW SODIUM CANNED ITEMS. They are out there. If you did have to survive on the everyday stash, you will begin to feel the effects of a VERY high sodium diet within 30 days.
Communications! At the least, get a 400-600 watt combo battery chrgr/inverter, and a solar powered chrgr for that. A GOOD radio, 2 way if possible. RECHARGEABLE batteries, and their chrgr. A Shotgun/rifle, Ammo, board games
Oh ,I saw you have corn ..umm don't buy corn because you're body isn't gonna digest it , we eat corn jsut for the taste and look on food , just a little tip :)
Tip : Buy fod that lasts for 2 years or more because if it can last a year it means it can last even more , so if you buy something that has a date 2016 it can actually last till 2030 and is still good to eat ( no food poisoning ) the date is just for 120% of customer safty . I have cans that have 2014+ dates
its people like this that will become a threat in the furture. unfortuanly for people like this there is only a slim chance for a shtf moment, if you are planning to copy these fools just think what do i really need i can only think of two things that you might have to prepare for and pandemic such as the black death or enconomic disater. In any other cases such as nuclear bombs droping your not going to survive that if you dont have a fallout shelter.
@reaper2l Can you elaborate on what you mean by 'people like this' being a threat? How big a threat, & to who? An economic disaster means what by your definition? How would a person being prepared to take care of himself and his family be a threat? The purpose is to not overtax a system that may BE overtaxed in the event of an economic breakdown. I am not a Mormon, but by example, they have been doing it for generations and are a threat to nobody. Just asking, no nastiness meant..just curious.
@reaper2l Sure no one will ever lose their job and need food for their families. There will never be a winter storm that will leave people stranded at home. Food will always be available during a natural disaster. Wait! Many millions of Americans are without a job, or working and not earning enough to cover all their expenses. We have winter storms every year as well as many natural disasters. Only fools can't see pass their own noses. You don't store for a nuclear war. Boom you're dead.

Are earthquakes a possible hazard in your area? If so maybe consider some kind of system to keep all your items on the shelves versus spilled on the floor. Also maybe move all the breakables down to the lowest shelf. Just my .02 worth. Great job overall!
I would not be interested in storing GMO foods, which it seems that's what you have most. You need to can/jar perserve Organic/Natural foods. I mean to each is own but GMO foods make you sick in the long run..........
I'm going to try to can flour, sugar, salt, brown sugar etc... the dry things that have the possibility of storing easily and well by putting them, open, in my warm oven. I'll take them out of the oven when they're hot. I'll put the lids and rings on and a vacuum will be created when the food and jars cool down. I'll be able to verify a vacuum by the pop and appearance of the lids. I don't see any reason for failure if I follow normal cleanliness and canning standards. Opinions are welcome.
Careful on the canned fruit, the acidity breaks down the cans and they tend to get ugly quickly. I try to rotate my canned food at the very latest every 4 months.
@Iridium242 Canned fruit cans are lined with either zink or plastic to prevent the acid from breaking down the tin. they will last as long as 10 years even in a somewhat damp basement with spring water running through it.
Try not to buy the pop open cans, the lids r designed 4 the seals break easily. Glass recycle sites are a good way to save a lot of money! U have to make sure there are no cracks in the jars or the food will spoil. Canning is tricky, the sooner u start practicing the better off u will be! Stock up on lemon or lime juice and salt for canning. Learn wild edibles and natural medicine! Modern medicine will run out too! Don't forget hand powered kitchen tools! Mrs.NAN check out our vids 4 more info 2
Good video. Can you review the Katadyn Survivor? Makes fresh water from ocean or brackish or chemically tainted water. Is there a DIY alternative?
Nobody thinks WATER? 10 gals is not enough.
Fresh water source isn't an option sometimes near the ocean (or source that can't be simply filtered). A distiller needs takes too long. The Katadyn Survivor pump can produce 35 gals of fresh water a day. Also removes chemicals, nerve agents, viruses, bacteria, etc.
I guess everyone is different, b/c that amount in this video is roughly about 2 weeks of food for me alone. And all food storage should be food that you eat on a regular basis, that way you can rotate it and never have to get rid of food that you never eat. More wheat, lots of wheat. flour, sugar, thing about making things from scratch get what you would need.
@pimpingfools LOL....yeah. Just make sure you don't try to take the shit from people that have guns too. If the shit really hit's the fan, I'll be shooting first and asking questions later....and I'll be gunning for people like you that were too short-sighted to prepare for what is definitely coming. All I can say, is that when it all goes bad, even your "friends" will go into survival-mode....and they won't be your friend for very much longer. Get ready.
@pimpingfools yea....i got a plan 4 people like u. try 2 take what keeps me n my family alive, u die. that simple.
people, wen ur out there, dont dress or act like u have things others dont because of idiots like this. they WILL shoot u 4 wha u have. it's jus the sad reality of this situation.
I have a generator for my well too, however I also have several 5 gal gas cans. I used sta-bil to keep the gas "fresh" and it was stored for over a year, 18 months? and it worked just great. I eventually put it in my car and refilled the cans, and used the sta-bil again. I try to get it when gas is priced just right. My car is fine, the gas was perfect, and I would tell anyone to store gas, it's safe and works great. Oh, and it sat in an unheated or cooled metal shed all winter and summer too!!!
You dont have to go mylar, like today i bought a 25kg bag of rice which is sealed well by the manufacturer and has a 2015 expiry date, so no need to re transport it into mylar.
Keep it up! Obviously there have been volcano's which have blocked out the sun to the extent that crops fail or have not a long enough growing season. The risks most likely though are economic in the US, YOU WILL SEE THIS within 2 years due to change in investor sentiment towards the USA
A food storage for 3 months seems rather unrealistic and paranoid for someone from Holland. I could immagine its usefull in situations where you live in lots of snowfall or so.
its really good you buy the things you like cause if you buy some thing you dont like to eat in an emergency you wont use eat it when you have an emergency. I find that if I save my change and pop bottle return money I can buy 1000.00 of food every six months.
My well is very deep - over 500' so a hand pump would not work - at least I do not know of one. So, I have a back-up generator that can run my pump. For long outages, I can run the pump for a short time and pump out enough water to store multiple 55 gal drums I have, then turn the genny off to conserve fuel. It would be good only if I had fuel to run it, but it's better than no way of getting water at all. I have plenty of back-up plans to that as well.
@MissPickletoes Several ways. One, connect a generator and transfer switch. Two, a system like Banner Power that uses battery back up with an inverter to go from DC to AC power. Third, hand pump by-pass, the good old fashion way.
it's a start.... I remember when we lived in rural west texas we had to travel 2 hours to either el paso or carlsbad, NM to get food, water and supplies. We would stock up for months of food and a good 2-3 weeks of water, since the water there was extremely sandy and dirty and hard to filter out for drinking use. what I've learned from that experience taught me what to buy and store in emergency situations.
You should store some wine or liquor as well. wine is good for stomach illnesses and alcohol can be used as a dissinfectant and can also be given to people that would require small surgery..like pulling a tooth or resetting a bone etc., and you can barter with people for other essentials. It also helps with morale.
I will start working on storing more food after seeing your video, I am worried about storing canned goods outside in a hot shed, will it affect the contents? We live in southern California so my biggest fear is an earthquake and I want to store some food in the shed to get us by until I can retrieve the rest of our food inside the house.
@GTVAlfaMan yes this is not good, when it gets hot, air will expand inside the cans and possibly make them explode. i think people have died from this before.
my dad in Japan asked me, "since when and who is telling you that USA is going to panic and collapse?, why are you (I am in the US), interested and telling me this? No one in Japan is aware of it nor talking about it." ..... How do I explain to hm ?
Where would be the place for a foot storage if you do not have a room? No car garage, no basement. Just three bed rooms two bath living kitchen 1500 sq ft home. Wish I had an out door building attic or some place.... The kitchen is quite small too.
Well, you want to keep the food in a dark cool place, if possible. I would say start with your cupboards - fill those up first - use one cupboard just for longer term storage. Next, I would suggest a closet - put the food in plastic totes or buckets. Other places like under your bed - be creative. Don't let lack of storage keep you from storing food.
@urkingod Put footers under the beds to raise the beds about 6 inches or so and then store under the beds. Also, in the wall cabnits, this will give you about 15 inches width and 4 to 6 inches deep, depending on your walls, and as tall as the wall allows.
@urkingod Use low, flat containers to store things under the beds, you can also store a layer of canned goods in your coat or clothes closet under where the clothing is hanging. When I lived in a small apartment I used the bottom of my closet, covered it with a piece of cardboard and sat my shoes on top of it. You've got to be creative & sneaky sometimes.
@heirloomessentials that's where dehydrating your own food comes in handy. You can fit a years worth of food for a person under a twin bed if it's dehydrated.
@urkingod you can store in under bed bins, in closets, make extra shelving, behind the sofa, even using boxes and barrels for side tables with a cloth over them. I lived in a small space (mobile home) when my kids were little and managed to keep a years worth of food at all times. Just think outside the box!
Do not throw those old, used car tires away. Instead, fill 'em with fertile soil and bury potatoes in them. As the potatoes sprout new buds and surface place another tire over the old one and fill (again) with fresh top soil. Keep doing this up to 8 feet in height. In 4 months knock 'em all down and you should have 100 or more potatos. Its simple, free and adds to your food storage plan.
Dont store water in milk jugs! they are designed to degrade to prevent them from filling up land fills.
I also wouldn't buy water that comes in milk jugs for the same reason. get 20 2L pop bottles. on sale (store brand) at 60 cents each that is$12 . and u get to drink the soda! 20=10 gallons. that's 5 days for 2 people.
I do that myself plus mouthwash bottles. Walmart also sells 7 gallon water storage tanks with spigot dispensers. They're designed specifically for long term water storage & are odor free. $10.50 a piece.
I also save liquid laundry detergent bottles. I cannot get the detergent odor out of them but I plan to use that water for showering & washing hands.
@astrialkil So true about the milk jugs! I had seven bottles of water and after only a few months, three of them started leaking. So I found out the hard way that milk jugs don't work well. I'm planning to purchase some 55 gallon barrels to store water. If you add a preservative to the water, you only have to rotate your barrels every five years. Just something to think about.
If you have a deep freezer in your house you can purchase bags of ice to extend the life of your frozen food items. They should give you a few extra days of cold storage in the event of a power outage.
good supplies. You have a lot of dry milk, that stuff is expensive and takes up so much room so I don't have more than one box of that. I keep it in the freezer along with extra flour that won't fit in my airtight container.
Most of your foods are for cooking. I think you must buy ready meals as well as we never know if we have time or resources available during emergencies.
Give you a tip on those stacks of cans - cut out flat cardboard and place it in between the cans - one piece to make a "flat". Makes the whole thing a lot more stable.
I usually get 3/4 flats from Walmart. They cut down the boxes that cans come in, with an open front, and three sides about 2 inches high. You can stack cans six feet high doing that.
If you don't have alot of space consider dehydrating your food instead of canning. Atleast go and look it up. Also start couponing, its easier than you think. Go to A Full Cup and learn from veterans who have been doing for years and years. My own goal this year is to obtain a two year supply within one year using coupons. My feeling I will get close to doing it. And never pay retail while doing it. Another thing, plan out 3 months of menus, then you know what you need to buy.
I also heard white flower is ignored by bugs. make tortias and banik, and keep baking powder or baking soda. great job, you just get better the longer you learn.
you heard wrong I live in the western part of canada and if you dont have flour wraped up properly bugs will get in it. I use tupperware containers for flour it works well,
Like your video & the "Nutella" idea is brilliant.....a jar of Nutella & a few spoons would probably make your kids think that a emergency/collapse is a holiday!!!!
I liked your video. I live in northern California in a small town. I am just now starting to stock up. I also like the vids from user name "PaulHerrmann1."
I'll have to checkout Yankees vids.
There's a lot of talk centered around 2011-2012 disasters. I think that even if nothing cataclysmic happens certain people will make it happen or want it to happen.
I think something does need to change about how we live. There is so much consumption and waste.
Do you have an Aldis near you? If you do you could allmost double what you have as far as canned goods, for what you paid for the name brands I saw. Slavemart and Sams is not always the best priced. You need some variety in that plan as well.
i really hope it was worth the effort buying all of this nonperishable food that lasts for 2 years i spent tons of money on this and im unemployed so im broke now
all im worried about is stale food alright, all of this stuff approximately lasts for 2 years, im not concerned over no natural disasters, but food scarcity and martial law, kind of sounds ridiculous to me....I've never prepared like this before in my life, only reason i recently did this is because my parents are still with me, so i hope these " patriots" are right about what they're saying is coming...or else i would retaliate for putting me on stress over a year
As far as moving - I wish I could. My work keeps me in my current location. However, I do have an acre of land - just need to cut down some trees to make more room for garden plus more heat during the winter. Any land for sale near you?
I tell you, I have been researching and viewing all types of videos about preparedness and everyday I feel I am so behind the game. But the thing that keeps me going is knowing for fact that every neighbor of mine within about a 1/2 mile of me doesn't have 1 bit of preparation that I have. I have goals where I want to be at the end of each month so hopefully I can progress more before an event happens where preparing ends and surviving begins. thanks for the confidence!
Thanks for the info. Just watched some of your videos. Do you use Mylar bags for your rice, flour, and such? You said in your video you put the bag of flour into a 5 gal. bucket. Do you empty the bags first? Do you have a plastic liner or mylar bag for the bucket? This is my next investment - buckets and rice/flour/pasta/beans storage.
I personally put 1 kilo (2lb) of the item in a plastic bag and tie it. I then put those in plastic buckets.
No one outside the US sells oxygen absorbers and they don't seem to want to ship here so I don't have any choice. D69A uses them and I would too. I do think that the life will be extended by some degree with them. But the food will still last decades, just not as fresh.
good job getting started and ready. Wanna hit that 3 month fast. Bucket up some dry goods- pasta,rice,beans. 1-3 5 gallon buckets and you will be at your goal. Great job.
Thanks for the reply. Your videos are very informative. Yes, the next step for me very soon is to start filling 5 gallon buckets. Question, can i just store bags of flour in buckets rather than the grain that will need to be ground?
Yes you can store the flour. It can e messy and will not store as long as whole grain. But figure at least 5-15 yrs if you pack it properly with mylar bags and o2 absorbers.
Yay! can I come over if the shtf?

Are earthquakes a possible hazard in your area? If so maybe consider some kind of system to keep all your items on the shelves versus spilled on the floor. Also maybe move all the breakables down to the lowest shelf. Just my .02 worth. Great job overall!

I would not be interested in storing GMO foods, which it seems that's what you have most. You need to can/jar perserve Organic/Natural foods. I mean to each is own but GMO foods make you sick in the long run..........

I'm going to try to can flour, sugar, salt, brown sugar etc... the dry things that have the possibility of storing easily and well by putting them, open, in my warm oven. I'll take them out of the oven when they're hot. I'll put the lids and rings on and a vacuum will be created when the food and jars cool down. I'll be able to verify a vacuum by the pop and appearance of the lids. I don't see any reason for failure if I follow normal cleanliness and canning standards. Opinions are welcome.

Careful on the canned fruit, the acidity breaks down the cans and they tend to get ugly quickly. I try to rotate my canned food at the very latest every 4 months.
Iridium242 1 year ago
@Iridium242 Canned fruit cans are lined with either zink or plastic to prevent the acid from breaking down the tin. they will last as long as 10 years even in a somewhat damp basement with spring water running through it.
KittyF54 1 year ago
Try not to buy the pop open cans, the lids r designed 4 the seals break easily. Glass recycle sites are a good way to save a lot of money! U have to make sure there are no cracks in the jars or the food will spoil. Canning is tricky, the sooner u start practicing the better off u will be! Stock up on lemon or lime juice and salt for canning. Learn wild edibles and natural medicine! Modern medicine will run out too! Don't forget hand powered kitchen tools!

you can freeze flour in sealed bags. it stays good as long as the moisture doesn't get inside of the flour bag.

Good video. Can you review the Katadyn Survivor? Makes fresh water from ocean or brackish or chemically tainted water. Is there a DIY alternative?
Nobody thinks WATER? 10 gals is not enough.
Fresh water source isn't an option sometimes near the ocean (or source that can't be simply filtered). A distiller needs takes too long. The Katadyn Survivor pump can produce 35 gals of fresh water a day. Also removes chemicals, nerve agents, viruses, bacteria, etc.

sc00b3rt 1 year ago
I guess everyone is different, b/c that amount in this video is roughly about 2 weeks of food for me alone. And all food storage should be food that you eat on a regular basis, that way you can rotate it and never have to get rid of food that you never eat. More wheat, lots of wheat. flour, sugar, thing about making things from scratch get what you would need.

I have a generator for my well too, however I also have several 5 gal gas cans. I used sta-bil to keep the gas "fresh" and it was stored for over a year, 18 months? and it worked just great. I eventually put it in my car and refilled the cans, and used the sta-bil again. I try to get it when gas is priced just right. My car is fine, the gas was perfect, and I would tell anyone to store gas, it's safe and works great. Oh, and it sat in an unheated or cooled metal shed all winter and summer too!!!

You dont have to go mylar, like today i bought a 25kg bag of rice which is sealed well by the manufacturer and has a 2015 expiry date, so no need to re transport it into mylar.
Keep it up! Obviously there have been volcano's which have blocked out the sun to the extent that crops fail or have not a long enough growing season. The risks most likely though are economic in the US, YOU WILL SEE THIS within 2 years due to change in investor sentiment towards the USA

May I ask how you will be pulling water from your well? I have a well for my home, but no way to draw water if there is no power.
MissPickletoes 1 year ago
@MissPickletoes
My well is very deep - over 500' so a hand pump would not work - at least I do not know of one. So, I have a back-up generator that can run my pump. For long outages, I can run the pump for a short time and pump out enough water to store multiple 55 gal drums I have, then turn the genny off to conserve fuel. It would be good only if I had fuel to run it, but it's better than no way of getting water at all. I have plenty of back-up plans to that as well.

Store food "on the hoof".
Pot Belly Pigs, rabbits, and even goats, are considered pets in many cities and towns.
If you have access to weeds/grass/leaves, you'll do just fine.
Food waste can be also be thrown to them(potato peelings, lettuce going bad, etc.)
You could put a 4" bucket(approx. 4' long PVC pipe with a cap) down your 6" well casing.
Gas maybe in short supply.
You could also catch rain off your roof.

@MissPickletoes Several ways. One, connect a generator and transfer switch. Two, a system like Banner Power that uses battery back up with an inverter to go from DC to AC power. Third, hand pump by-pass, the good old fashion way.

it's a start.... I remember when we lived in rural west texas we had to travel 2 hours to either el paso or carlsbad, NM to get food, water and supplies. We would stock up for months of food and a good 2-3 weeks of water, since the water there was extremely sandy and dirty and hard to filter out for drinking use. what I've learned from that experience taught me what to buy and store in emergency situations.
oregonnich 1 year ago
You should store some wine or liquor as well. wine is good for stomach illnesses and alcohol can be used as a dissinfectant and can also be given to people that would require small surgery..like pulling a tooth or resetting a bone etc., and you can barter with people for other essentials. It also helps with morale.

Where would be the place for a foot storage if you do not have a room? No car garage, no basement. Just three bed rooms two bath living kitchen 1500 sq ft home. Wish I had an out door building attic or some place.... The kitchen is quite small too.
urkingod 2 years ago
Well, you want to keep the food in a dark cool place, if possible. I would say start with your cupboards - fill those up first - use one cupboard just for longer term storage. Next, I would suggest a closet - put the food in plastic totes or buckets. Other places like under your bed - be creative. Don't let lack of storage keep you from storing food.

Titushundson 1 year ago
@urkingod don't forget you can store under your beds, behind the couch. consider high level shelving in closets. get creative!
anslowp1 1 year ago
@urkingod Put footers under the beds to raise the beds about 6 inches or so and then store under the beds. Also, in the wall cabnits, this will give you about 15 inches width and 4 to 6 inches deep, depending on your walls, and as tall as the wall allows.
Bill1405 1 year ago
@urkingod Use low, flat containers to store things under the beds, you can also store a layer of canned goods in your coat or clothes closet under where the clothing is hanging. When I lived in a small apartment I used the bottom of my closet, covered it with a piece of cardboard and sat my shoes on top of it. You've got to be creative & sneaky sometimes.

Do not throw those old, used car tires away. Instead, fill 'em with fertile soil and bury potatoes in them. As the potatoes sprout new buds and surface place another tire over the old one and fill (again) with fresh top soil. Keep doing this up to 8 feet in height. In 4 months knock 'em all down and you should have 100 or more potatos. Its simple, free and adds to your food storage plan.

Dont store water in milk jugs! they are designed to degrade to prevent them from filling up land fills.
I also wouldn't buy water that comes in milk jugs for the same reason. get 20 2L pop bottles. on sale (store brand) at 60 cents each that is$12 . and u get to drink the soda! 20=10 gallons. that's 5 days for 2 people.

I do that myself plus mouthwash bottles. Walmart also sells 7 gallon water storage tanks with spigot dispensers. They're designed specifically for long term water storage & are odor free. $10.50 a piece.
I also save liquid laundry detergent bottles. I cannot get the detergent odor out of them but I plan to use that water for showering & washing hands.

@astrialkil So true about the milk jugs! I had seven bottles of water and after only a few months, three of them started leaking. So I found out the hard way that milk jugs don't work well. I'm planning to purchase some 55 gallon barrels to store water. If you add a preservative to the water, you only have to rotate your barrels every five years. Just something to think about.

Give you a tip on those stacks of cans - cut out flat cardboard and place it in between the cans - one piece to make a "flat". Makes the whole thing a lot more stable.
I usually get 3/4 flats from Walmart. They cut down the boxes that cans come in, with an open front, and three sides about 2 inches high. You can stack cans six feet high doing that.

What will you do when your friends and neighbors come begging for food? Not to mention your extended family.
A ton of rice, a ton of wheat, a ton of pasta and a 1/2 ton of beans.
Store water.
Invest in silver rounds, APMEX.
Buy supplies, TP, soap, etc..
Water: Buy a tarp to nail to your roof, use PVC pipe to drain water to rain barrels. Water filters from fast filters, 1 micron filters.

If you don't have alot of space consider dehydrating your food instead of canning. Atleast go and look it up. Also start couponing, its easier than you think. Go to A Full Cup and learn from veterans who have been doing for years and years. My own goal this year is to obtain a two year supply within one year using coupons. My feeling I will get close to doing it. And never pay retail while doing it. Another thing, plan out 3 months of menus, then you know what you need to buy.

Thanks for the info. Just watched some of your videos. Do you use Mylar bags for your rice, flour, and such? You said in your video you put the bag of flour into a 5 gal. bucket.

boomd1791 2 years ago
I personally put 1 kilo (2lb) of the item in a plastic bag and tie it. I then put those in plastic buckets.
No one outside the US sells oxygen absorbers and they don't seem to want to ship here so I don't have any choice. D69A uses them and I would too. I do think that the life will be extended by some degree with them. But the food will still last decades, just not as fresh.

Yes you can store the flour. It can e messy and will not store as long as whole grain. But figure at least 5-15 yrs if you pack it properly with mylar bags and o2 absorbers.
