Great idea! And I would add, make sure your pack is reasonable for you to carry or transport for you.

@@homelifewithlauren Packs shouldn't be over 15 - 20% of your body weight.

We have 5 people and 2 indoor pets, with 3 outdoor pets. This is long-term storage, so it’s intended to sustain our family for a while.

Great tips!!!

So true!!!!

That would be a lot of modifications to the original recipe, so I can’t say if it would turn out or not. However, eggs are what make the creamy-custard texture. Crème brûlée is essentially a baked custard. This would not work well in a springform pan, but you could make 1 larger creme brûlée in a round casserole dish. You would need to bake it longer though. You may have to do some google research to find out the correct baking time for something like that.

My dad always told me there was no such thing as a stupid question ;) Prepping for life. We regularly use our buckets of oats, beans, rice, wheat. I make a lot of things from scratch that are cheaper to buy in bulk and they last longer in the buckets. Also, you never know when a spouse could lose a job, there could be some sort of physical disablement or heaven forbid another virus situation. Whatever the case, I can feed my family, which is a huge stress-relief. You don't have to agree; that's ok. This is what I feel is best for me.

Thank you, that's kind of you to say. Of course, there are plenty of other things you could put in here, but yes-my goal is to cater to the average person that perhaps hasn't thought about having a pack like this before. Something is better than nothing.

Yes, in New Jersey you would probably want some warmer items like gloves, a hat, extra socks and definately a poncho to keep you dry from the rain.

We've tried two different ways of dating. One is to date everything when you get it, the other way is to date it with the expiration date/use by date. Do what works best for you!

Thanks Ky!!! I’m feeling a plethora of emotions right now, but I know it’s what I’m meant to do 🩵

Thank you so much! It's a little intimidating, but I'm excited.

You’re so welcome!! I’m not an expert, but I’m happy to answer any questions you have if I can. 🩵

Most people will not need to be prepared to rough it in the woods. Be kind! If you are so smart then make your own video!

​@@singerjo5791it is not a bag for going camping.

Yum! Sounds good!

Smart idea! I love all the comments on this video.

You bet!

Great point!

Try it! Easier than you think. 🩵

Being prepared is a good feeling!

I’ve heard of those. Sounds like a very handy thing to have in the pack. Thanks for the idea!

Yes to all your ideas! My hubby has the radio in his pack. Definitely a good idea.

A missile attack is not the motivation to have a long-term good storage )at least not for me). This is about being prepared for anything; lost job, inflation, a natural disaster, etc. it’s like a savings account only with food.

@@homelifewithlauren makes sense. so in the event you have to leave home what do you do with all this stock?

We are fortunate to live in a land where we are free and able to prepare for emergencies. Supplies are rotated throughout our lives so nothing is "wasted." Most of us are stable and most situations don't require us to leave our resources. The reality is that we have little anxiety and even less worry over future events because we prepare for these events in a mature, intelligent & reasonable manner.

@@sandrataylor8966 no matter how much a person prepares or readies themselves for something there are many things that you just can't prepare for like getting cancer, or covid something rich people with an abundance of resources and best doctors died from. I think this hoarding of food and or money makes a person feel safer mentally but in reality it's excessive. like a man with a 100s of guns in his home despite him having only 2 hands. better to go and feed poor people with this than to stock loads and loads of food in your home for yourself and your family preparing for the unknown. on the other note what will you do if your forced to evacuate your homes can't carry loads of food with you? another thing preppers don't think about. i do agree in saving food and or money incase of emergency but stocking up like a Walmart with a basement or garage full of food is excessive. im entitled to my opinion. you are as well. the reality is your living in a land with nuclear weapons pointed at you right now from various countries and given this current situation that can become a reality for you which I pray doesn't. your land is my land too the difference is I chose to leave. im an American born and raised in America and trust me there's nothing amazing about it besides the lies people are told everyday on the news. everyone tries to brag about being from there really im ashamed we are the only people in the world just about who have the fattest population, who only know one language, and work over 40 hours a week or 2 jobs to survive. so what are you bragging about? everyone's stressed out studies show most Americans don't have any real savings, rent is high mass shootings crime, gang violence open prostitution, racism abundance of rapes child abduction and drugged out zombies are now sleeping on million dollar properties everywhere due to drugs. so save the talk about where your from.

TV shows about “ preppers” magnify strange behaviors for ratings so I agree with you about some of those examples. The truth is, we have medical insurance, home insurance, car insurance and hopefully some savings in the bank..and for what. Things we can’t foresee but know will happen. Exactly how and what will happen we don’t always know but being prepared in these examples is clearly a wise decision. Emergency preparedness is no different, just focused on another category of basic human needs for survival. There will always be the commando type fantasy people in the preparedness world but it is the minority in reality compared to young ladies like this ( don’t know her, video just popped up in my feed) that are just normal people taking responsibility to ensure her families safety and ability to survive the unknown. As far as having to flee your house it could happen, but as an old first responder that worked many real life critical incidents in my career , that isn’t reality in many situations you will likely encounter. Things like wild land fires, earthquakes, contaminated water supply, mud slides on roadways stopping food shipments from grocery stores, drought and subsequent food shortages, train crashes, pandemics, personal tragedy ( job loss, illness, injury) weather events, are just some real life scenarios I’ve worked with and the people that prepared were self sufficient vs those waiting and relying on the gov nipple for there families survival. seeing all the store shelves completely emptied in 2020 should be a wake up call to the fragility of relying on a just in time delivery system for your survival. Had that gone on another week or two we would’ve seen a much bigger problem many can’t imagine. Hope this helps somehow. Best of luck @@BigBroSadiq

Thank you! You just never know what unexpected surprises life is going to bring. It’s better to be prepared and have those few comforts when and if the time does come that they’re needed. And great tips for other items to pack in your bag!

Smart idea! Thanks for suggesting it.

Thanks and welcome 😊

You’re welcome! 😘

Yes! Freeze-dried food tends to taste better than dehydrated.We’ve been wanting one also and may get one eventually…it’s just the $2,000 price tag that’s holding us back.

I do have a compass in there, but not a map. Good idea! And we probably need to get another life straw. I think only one person in my family of 5 has one in their pack. 👍🏼

Nope! My kids are amazing and I’m grateful! And our home definitely looks lived in 😉 However, I make most meals from scratch and the kitchen is our hub, so leaving it like this is the one thing that gets me 😁

Thanks Meg! 🙂 I recognize that some are commenting to be constructive and some not. 😉 Unlike a lot of other people, we actually actively use a lot of our storage, so we may do things differently. Ultimately, part of my goal is to help people start being more self-reliant and something is better than nothing.
