Myself and my wife do what we call the rule of three or four, we buy three or four of anything food related, same with packs of seeds and anything else we can afford, the same should apply if you breed chicken or rabbits or even larger livestock, most people have many females,but only one male, if he dies, one minus one equals zero.

Thanks Ana, one of the only foods that wasn't rationed in WW2 was fish and chips, which might explain why we love it so much.

I always watch because your studied interpretation of world events is so spot on. Thanks.

To my knowledge, the only tinned/canned butter is imported from Australia and extremely expensive. I have never seen it anywhere in stores. I made a lot of ghee a couple of years ago when we had a lot of sales. I mail-ordered ONE package of butter powder. Shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, Gouda, Parmesan and other harder cheeses dehydrate and keep well if you change paper towels or absorbant cloths under themand change them several times.I have chees I dehydrated 5 years ago that is lovely. KEEP YOUR SALT IN WATER/MOISTURE-PROOF containers, even if in ziplock bags. Salt leeches the water from the air, hardens and ruins whatever it sits on...trust me. I have all of what you mentioned.

Knowledge is power. And whether there's a crisis or there are good times it always pays to know how to source or at least know what can substitute for food there could latter be a shortage of. How the ever loving hell salt could ever be rarioned is a mystery though. The sea is loaded with if. Filter and evaporate and all the salt you would personally need. Equally herbs/spices most herbs that we might need are easily grown in the uk and where knowledge comes in handy is knowing there are native plants that can substitute for a supprising number of spices we would otherwise have to import. Im by no means saying rationing or war istelf is something to be welcomed. But towards the end of ww2 the population of this country was probably the healthiest they had ever been and that was due to the forced change in dietary habbits due to rationing. Shelf sable foods that dont require refridgeration are the ideal sollution to long-term storage during a crisis. And the ability to preserve them yourself will become invaluable. I really do need to buy a food dehydrator, but even without iv, I had very good results, just drying food on a sunny windowsill. I do this more for frugality than Anything else but when supermarkets have a surplus of reduced to clear eggs a dehydrator is a perfect answer to powdering them for long term use and extending their shelf life beyond use/sell by dates that we all slavishly seem to just accept without question these days. My picky kids dont like eating bread crust. But they somehow dont notice them when theyre turned into breadcdumbs as a coating' bulking agent for mince products such as meatballs or burgers and as a sauce thickener. Breadcrumbs are my preffered thickenening method as they offer a better texture than standard cornflour. Here on the coast i have ready access to mustard plants that grow wild all along the cliff rops and the leaves make a better green than almost anything you could get from a supermarket. O ions looking a littke worse for wear? Dry and powder them as a seasoning/spice. Celery dried and powdered is exceptionally good as a seasoning. Alexanders are a very abundant coastal plant whos seeds are comparable to scezuan peppercorns. Hogweed seeds an excellent alternative and equivelentbto cardamon pods. Magniolia flower's? Ginger, not to mention the large sellection of wild alliums we have natively or introduced. Pineapple weed literally tastes and smells of pineapple. Knowledge like that is freely avalable but one i tend to guard purely as if everyone knew there would be less for those thag already do

For butter buy ghee in a can in arabic shop or supermarket in maghrebian section. It has few years shelf life and the price is fairly ok.

If China & Taiwan get into conflict we might see electronics in shorter supply... It's a good idea to be sure you've got those solar radios etc already.. Though it's going to be a challenge if components for mending cars are hard to get. .. Pump up those bicycle tyres....

Survival is a great weapon used against farmers,fair prices would remove the control

I have collected old books - and old everything else - for years. I had a gut feeling that the wartime recipe, and gardening, books would prove to be valuable to us for their knowledge. I see this coming closer every day.

Hi Ana ! I am Ration Ready !! Thanks for video!❤

We grow a lots of fruits and veg abd there are just the two of us oldies who don't eat as much as we used to. However, I have been through my big prep boxes and find them much depleted due to the high cost of food, so, that was our prep wasn't it. Now I am stepping up once more. I listened to a guy (I think he was in Cuba). He said that for actual survival, protein and grains are the things that will make us survive, al9ng with water of course. It got my mind slightly switched as I am big on veg. Now I am focusing on pulses, rice, millet, amaranth, quinoa, corn cous cous and we have great success with potatoes in buckets and usually green beans. Those along with the massive quantity of toms I can preserve and a wide variety of herbs...both to add extra vits and flavour should get the basics sorted. Ana, did you try making chocolate with cacao and sunflower lecithin? Look it up. Now....chocolate🤣

Hi Ana I bought some powdered butter off ebay £24.99 from MRE UK 15 year life, 220grams makes 325 g butter

Cheese in wax lasts a long time xxx

I have no problem in believing that food rationing is waiting for us down the line. Like yourself, I store lots of sugar for my wine making and baking. I would miss cheese and I have thought about buying some food grade wax to store the cheese in, or buy some already in wax. When I started prepping, I bought the cheapest items but now I am replacing them with higher quality stock while it is available.

Never had it been more important to be prepped! Get to it, y'all 💪 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Good thing to have a good supply of food spices. If you know how to season your food well you can make almost any food taste reasonable well.

What we need to remember is that in war countries will stop exporting to preserve there on way of life,and the U.K cannot feed itself.

ASDA is 49% owned by wal-mart and 51% owned by TDG group (majority holder) increase is usually due to the fact the new owners want to get koney back invested ASAP. Then the decrease will kick in. I ilused to get 6 bags FROM ASDa FOR £45 NOW ITS LIKE £70 - £80 NOW i shop in aldi

Difference between growing food, prepping and being self sufficient, and hoarding tins. Ana has her head screwed on, it is security. Richard is community minded, but you still need to be somewhat independent and able to cope on your own.

The major holes in UK preps are antibiotics, serious pain medication for acute medical situations and self-defence. Our Dear Leaders treat us like children. Short lifespan items like Epi-Pens worry me too. They don't exactly stockpile, but we keep our old ones just in case - a doctor said you can use them beyond the date as long as they're still clear or just turning - he said he'd use them anyway for lack of anything else. I dread to think how people who need diabetes or other life-saving drugs will manage if the SHTF. Things like Magnesium and dissolvable aspirin for heart issues and stroke (you'd have to research that). Add anti-histamines to the stockpile (tablets - drowsy and non-drowsy, creams, etc), creams like Germolene, colloidal silver, castor oil, Vaseline (useful for so many things), and Lugol's Iodine. A few bottles of high-strength, non-flavoured Vodka will keep forever and can be used for wounds, sedation or barter (that's not recommended if you can't keep alcohol in the house without drinking it ...). I don't buy much in the way of treatments for colds and flu, but I do swear by Olbas Oil - a few drops on a tissue beside your head will help you breathe and get to sleep. I wouldn't bother with cheap vitamins. Do add good quality (few to no additives) Vit D3 with K2, Vit C, multivits, etc and anything that you specifically use. I keep several bottles of Tea Tree oil and a lot of Jungle Formula and Icaridin bug repellant - better to prevent than treat. Two medical preps most people forget is a way to filter water to prevent health issues and, for medical uses, a way to boil and cool it. Soap. Sterile gloves. The list goes on and on. There are good books on SHTF medical protocols and on alternative herbal remedies - aloe vera plants in the house are brilliant for small burns and sunburn - it really works. You could go all out and buy a defibrillator, but the chances of bringing someone back from complete collapse is very slight regardless of the hype surrounding them. Do a First Aid course - you can usually do them free of charge via organisations like Scouts and Guides. There's an American Prepper Nurse who does online classes for a fee, but a lot of the things available to them in the US won't be available here. If things get really bad, having some two-way radios tucked away in a Faraday cage might be a way to find someone with more knowledge.

Fry your chicken first, tastes better. Nice recipe tough

Can you explain these prices? Like the tomahawk what's the cost price?

Thx

Richard hasn't watched the Walking Dead. I know it's just TV but it's absolutely what will happen. There will always be groups who want to take over and rule the rest, whether through fear or violence. This utopia that Richard thinks will happen will only happen to a degree, and then once a lovely little utopia has been established, a group will come in and take over, take the food they're growing, take the moonshine, everything. You can integrate into community, whilst still having a stash hidden away.

Is that mylar bag vacuum sealed? Im sorry if this is a silly question, im new to this whole prepping thing, just learning. Im now watching through all Ana's playlist. It takes some time. It might have been mentioned in a video that i haven't watched yet. Thank you

Love the video thanks❤

Great video,I learned a lot. Thank you, both.

Ana, have you tried putting the tomato sauce into an ice cube tray to freeze and that put in a bag or container ? Lets you remove just the right amount to use with no waste. I like these "how to" videos ❤

Thank you. No need to apologise for anything, your video is perfect. Camera angle and pace are fine. Background sounds are all good too - keeping it real.

I got the 8gal/30L 2 pot Vevor Still, for very similar reasons as you. Thank you for the demonstration on how to assemble it. Including the assembly of the single pot, like you have, it gave me the insight to assemble mine without the thumper/second pot, which is unneeded for my intended use of the still. Now time for the vinegar run, followed by the sacrificial run, and I can get clean pure fresh water. Thank You and God Bless you, again.

Pesticides are systemic nowadays. In other words, they go throughout the veg/fruit. No amount of cleaning the outside will clear what is on the inside.

Great Livestream Ana, just caught it today whilst eating my lunch watched all Thank you and well done xx

So inspiring, thank you for another great video!!

We went to the Isle of Man last week and we got burned from the lovely sun with NO spraying in sight.. came back to the uk and its was back to crap! it's definitely government interference. When the power company's say there will be outages they are really just talking to the rural and exposed areas that often get power cuts from storms. It's not aimed at the general public but they are lazy so they just put out general notices. WTF i had no idea this rent-a-animal was a thing... this is an utter piss take!

I put corgettes, (zucchini, my mother was Italian), in my dehydrator just before I stopped to watch you. I cubed them.

Your garden looks so good. You're very talented.😊

This was very enjoyable to watch. I think your tomato sauce is going to be Delicious❤

Where I live a lot of gardeners are buying heirloom open pollinating seeds. Finding the grocery store seeds don't grow much vegetables but mostly leaves. Lots of problems with treated seed at this time.

Now I wish I'd purchased a dehydrator! Too many courgettes have gone to waste although mass cucumbers have been made into the Riverford organics pickle recipe and so far 16kg tomatoes frozen. Thanks Ana, great vid!

Also leek and no potato soup uses courgette instead of potatoes.

Hello Ana, have you tried apple and courgettes pie! I first cringed at the thought but it’s brilliant. If anyone is a diabetic or on a low carb diet by using a cooking apple and courgettes it lowers the carbohydrates significantly.

I am just waiting for my final batch of watermelon to finish then will do a 12 tray load of courgettes to make into a powder. I am also going to experiment with dipping cucumber slices in vinegar and dehydrating into crisps 🤞

Lovely vid, Ana!💗🎉 Enjoyed the chat, the helpful tips, and the peek of your lovely garden. TY for sharing and your tomatoes looked amazing!🎉

Thanks Ana, my dehydrator has been going non-stop drying blackberries for the last couple of weeks. That tom sauce looks delish.

Take a look at doug and Stacy. Re water melon. Anyone had any problems?

when did the energy companies notifiy about an energy blackout?

how will they know you haven't registered the chicken if you don't tell them? how will they know if you have got any unless you tell them. why would you tell them....

I also make my own pasta sauce, but I use tinned San Marzano tomatoes - much more expensive than the cheaper tins, but worth it. I think next year I will try growing my own.

The sun may nova historic facts go Archiax , so news ben davis, and Adapt 2030 , 0ppenheimer ranch project or maginetuc pole shift , i fawt you farmers have you grow data in the armanacile, ?? We are goind back to round houses

Hi Ana :)
