Prepping: The Emergency Food & Water Project

In this video we look at some emergency food & water stores we have & the project to increase the stores we have. Also looking at making a rotation can storage device that is a 'first in, first out' type of rotation system.

Plz submit your comments, ideas, tips & suggestions either in the comment section below &/or make a video response. This will help everyone when it comes to their storage solutions whether they are new to prepping or more experienced.

I hope you enjoy this first vid in a series of vids on emergency food & water preppring.

Take care & God bless,

Steve

Steve, if I pack my food in mylar bags and seal the container with an airtight lid, do I need to add oxygen absorbers? I question their effectiveness and also don't want to spend money on something that isn't necessary.

[SafeArmsReview]

@TJ347 YES they are necessary otherwise the oxygen will aid in the food stored to decay quicker.

Its a MUST have.

I have a question, for some people prepping seems pointless, we have four small children and live in the middle of a big city in a small apartment, we moved here a year ago for a job for my husband, we have no family nearby and most people we have met here think we are crazy for prepping. honestly I see their point, we have seem an increase in gang activity close by and as a mother I feel like we are just sitting ducks. Whats the point of prepping if just leaving the city seems a better option.

[SafeArmsReview]

@smooshedfeet We moved from a city of about 150K to a smaller town of about 16K and we are now looking at moving into the sticks.

However it is always good to have extra on hand if you cant leave or you can help someone else in need.

how do you bleach water?

[prudentprepper]

I would like to see that can storage device when it is finished Steve

Do you plan on staying home if it goes down? This is what worries me...not only the government coming to my home,but gangs etc...yes I have guns and a lot of them and bullets but I can only stay away so long...what do you think?

[lawson863]

Real good video! I am beginning to prep now...a little behind but I will be set.

[lawson863]

I agree, I think the 72 hour plan is BS. This is what the government pushes and many follow. However, I am a firm believer that the 72 hour plan is for only one thing, which is to get you into a FEMA camp. Yes 72 hour bag or stock pile may be a okay but if you only have 3 days worth and run out of supplies you will come out of hiding and waiting for you will be the FEMA police to take you away.

I started by simply going to the store and instead of buying 3 tins of baked beans that were on my list, I bought 15, was a small step I made many months ago and its gone on from there, I live in the UK and hardly anybody preps so things like mountain house etc are ultra expensive due to no volume and canneries do not exist, I rely on buying on sale, water is not an issue for me as it rains here a lot and I have a source but I still have 120 2 litre bottles prepped, just recycled old bottles.

how long does that water last?

[readytogo1955]

why buy all that food,when you can make it and dry it/vacum pack it,will last just as long.
