The 5 Gallon Bucket Food Storage Project - Part 4-B

[FmrHrntWSO98]

Jack, thanks for this series!

[redknight808]

I found your 5 Gallon Bucket Project today and have been watching the whole thing through. Great stuff. I've been looking for this exact thing and I'm happy you made it. However...what about the "adjunct storage bin" part? That seams like it should be included, if for nothing more than some suggestions on fats, oils, and canned meat. What about a summation video that discusses the whole system as completed?

Still looking for Part 5...

you could always dehydrate bacon and eggs to bring the fat, and protein.

Did this series finish as I thought there was the sealing of the buckets and more fat to be added? Anyhow just went to the supermarket and the corned beef has a date of 2015 on it wheras most tinned meat was ok till 2013..

Some Thoughts:

-The Bisquick will go flat in 2-3 years. Still edible but flatbread now vs pancakes.

-A great follow-on would be cooking methods in detail. For severe conditions how about a demo of thermos bottle cooking for energy efficiency?

-Concerns about "loss of nutrition" normally boil down to loss of flavor long before the food becomes inedible or no longer digestible. Acceptance by the eater drives most of these comments. But why add more stress when rotation prevents the problem?

thank you.

Great series. Very well thought out. I didn't see the the video anywhere where you were going to add the seperate adjunct to the buckets to help make up for the fat and protein defincies.

Jack, love this video series... but really hope you can show us the final videos soon!  Any idea when this project will be complete? I really don't want to get started until you present all of the data... thanks! Your efforts are so valuable!

Thanks for posting this information, especially your focus on storing a balanced caloric intake sufficient for survival (ala Jack Spignarelli) which seems to be missing from many of the other fine informational videos out there.

Hey Jack

You said in the beginning you would show us the final packaging of all this in Mylar with more o2 absorbers. Any idea when you'll get to that?

[610Alpha]

I agree. Hoping there is a part 5 video.

This was a great series! I live in Rio Grande Valley Texas and hurricane Dolly hit my area pretty hard a few years back. My wife, who was pregnant at the time, and myself were without water and electricity for 5 days. The majority of our food depended on refrigeration and we had no stock what-so-ever. Your videos have really inspired us to begin growing vegetables and maintaining a decent food storage in preparation for whatever events may come. Thank you. We appreciate your videos!

Jack-

I love your show, and am really enjoying your youtube videos too. This has been very helpful for me to have a better understanding of long term storage. Keep up the great work!

[FreedomAlwaysWins]

Jack, Great Video series. Is there a vacuum sealer that you would recommend? I don't think you mentioned the brand you used in the videos. Care to share? Thanks!

[survivalpodcasting]

@FreedomAlwaysWins

I am using a product called the "snorkel vac" from Safecastle. I like it ok, not in love with the bags it came with though. Just ordered the ones Tammy (dehydrate2store) recommended from DC Enterprises. I will give them a go and bring out the vac sealer in the video series after they get here.

I have had a few of the ones that came with it loose seal just sitting around and not even being touched. I blame the bag though not the vac machine.

@survivalpodcasting

Jack, How did those new bags work out for you? Would you recommend that vac sealer with the new bags?

hey brother.. have you dehydrated bananas/ apples etc... not only can you eat them as chips but grind them up and put them in your water for vitamin waters, put them in oats etc.. easy fast way to drink and get your vitamin c/etc... make trail mix for on the run.. great informative series.. i have couple hundred pounds of food stored dehydrated and air sealed.also , if you live in an area where you have a decent size lot.. plant some fruit trees (dwarf, easy conceal-ability)

You know wheat grass has a ton of vitamins, enzymes and amino acids (although it tastes absolutely disgusting). I have a wheat grass juicer and plan to use it in a shtf situation by growing wheat grass from my wheat. Now I've been looking around, considering the possibility of juicing normal grass if I had to bug out or found myself in a TEOTWAWKI situation but I haven't found any details about how useful it would be. Have you heard anything about this jack? I'd do it but probably boil it first.
