My new strategies in emergency food preparation include storing Vitamin C rich fruits to prevent medical conditions such as scurvy.

  • You're paying too much.Recently I bought

    Quaker oatmeal on sale with coupon $2.50 each ( I bought 10 )

    Canned beans on sale 3 for $1.00 (I bought 10 cases @ $8.00 a case)

    Natural Protein powder on Amazon ($70.00 for a 10 lb bag)

    3 diamond Almonds on sale $1.99 a can (bought a case of 24)

    All that for just $225 and if that's all I had I could live off that for 6 months.

    You just have to be smart and stock up on sales and use coupons with sales items and you will build up your pantry alot faster.

  • Commercially canned fruits tend to have a short shelf life. Peaches will eat thru the can fairly quickly. I suggest buying a good quality dehydrator, and cut up fresh fruits and dry them out. Then use a vacuum sealer to store long term. Bananas seem to be the best deal for me. And yes, pine needles make a great green tea to provide you with the vitamin C you need. Rinse the needles, cut them in smaller pieces, and seep in hot water for 15-20 minutes. Mix in some honey and enjoy.

  • Good tip with the vitamin C

  • Another couple of ideas. Plant some jeruselum artichokes in a flower bed along your back yard. The tubers will provide a yearly winter harvest. They grow over 6 feet tall but they look like small sunflowers most of the plant is usable as a food source. Berry plants and rosebushes will help with Vitamin C. They are easy to dehydrate and store.

  • @hobbexp propane or fire. You don't have to cook canned food.

  • chicken for us in ohio is 4.75 and chunky is almost 4 bucks

  • Zync is also important to healing yourself, perhaps a subsitute of this will also be good to have handy.

  • i love ur vids i have canned fruit but also have dried fruit use cans 1st and then dried 2nd alot of my stash is cans also have rice beans flour sugar inst potato oats pancake mix and bisquick all in buckets and lots of it. and plan to get a fw honeyville cans not much i plan to garden and raise rabbits and have chickens also live in a area when hunting is good.

  • start collecting coupons from your Sunday paper. Saves a lot of money on your supplies. You're doin' good man, keep it up! Love yur vids

  • @behindeverybush1 15 to 20 years?? LOL what u expecting an asteroid strike? Naa man if there's a collapse look more towards 6 months to a year before some sort of order and structure can be reestablished and supply routes are restored. 1 to 2 years worth of supplies is more than enough along with just enough ammo to keep away intruders and opportunists.

  • @ASAT225 propane????

  • @DEMCAD I was watching your food storage, and I'm curious to how you will cook your dry rice/beans in the event that theres no power in a SHTF situation? .

    Thanks
