The Secret To Beating Food Shortages And Hyperinflation
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ต.ค. 2024
- Worried about supply chain shortages? Here are some ways to make sure you always have surplus food stores for emergencies. These are also great ways to beat inflation. Become as self-sufficient as possible and empty grocery store shelves won't concern you. You should have at least a 3 month supply of food and water at all times for your family. You can start a garden or even get some chickens. Chickens are easy to take care of and they basically give you breakfast every morning. If you want to really get serious you might want to consider getting a freeze dryer. We have had our Harvestright freeze dryer for about a year and we love it and use it all the time. We just freeze-dry our leftovers and that gives us food for emergencies that will last 30 years or more. Thanks for watching!

Thanks!
Wow! Thank you so much! TH-cam is not showing super thanks when they happen. Sorry I didn't see that sooner. Very generous of you!
You are a sweetheart. God bless you! 🙌
Very nice of you!!
Good vid. Just one thing -- making friends with people who hunt may not be as easy as you think. I farm, my daughter hunts. Please don't assume that the time, effort, and money we put into these things is up for grabs. If your plan is to get in on farmers' and hunters' skills and resources, you better be out there mending fences and planting food plots with them now.
I agree.
Amen ! They take it for granted that’s it’s as 123….
I'd help I just need a neighbor like that LOL. We should just all start making communes
@@zakbrinkhoff324 gotta watch pastor dowell. he’s a weirdo who started own commune and now has them all over the place.
He should have said make friends with a trophy hunter.
We are, and it works out great but
I'll never understand the "sport" of hunting
Some people are poor and do not have a spouse to help them. Lots of us do not live in a fine home and can't afford freezers. Many live on one income and elderly. So many people are hoarding food that it is running out. Many can't hunt or have the ability to kill. I pray you are helping the poor and not taking things for granted. God be with you when all hell breaks.
I got into gardening because of you. Now I have a tractor, rototiller, and 3 acres under tillage.
That's so awesome!
😂 wow that's great! You really take ideas and run with them!
Great,thanks for telling me. When the shop shelves are empty I will be going straight over to your place for food.
@@batbarasobczak351 Before you come over to his house to help yourself to his food supply, be advised that he may also hand-load his own cartridges!
@@gardnerberry113 I was only joking Mr. Berry. Don't intend to steal any from him. He's welcome to his own food. He deserves a reward for been sensible.
Yes. I live in a 1950s house on a small urban lot with a hilly backyard. When my son was young we did the raised garden - and had vegetables to give away. Then, we shifted to trees. There are 15 fruit trees now. Takes 5 years to get production. March 2022. Getting tomatoes and radishes out of the containers on the patio. Grocery store clerk strike coming. You may never be self sufficient. However, you can be self reliant - and have an easier time than others when things aren't running smoothly.
Sounds like my yard. Thinking about growing potatoes on it
“ nothing happening right now is by accident”… Brother you got that right!
My family is working hard to be as self-sufficient as possible, I keep bees and I just started raising chickens. Gonna have a nice big garden too this year 🍻
Awesome! 👊
I’m in the same boat!
I just got solar. I'll pay $375 a month for 12 years and right off the bat my bill was already going to be lower than my actual energy bill. I'll pay it off in 9 yrs I'm at zero interest. It's a 12 year loan.
Have you seen those transparent bee hives. There is a video on the tube that you can see.
Its brilliant. Take a gander.
@@nealthomson9505 I believe you are talking about flow hives. I have seen them but I don't intend to use them. They are super overpriced and beekeeping is expensive enough. I am currently using standard Langstroth hives but this winter I will be building and switching to Long Langstroths so I don't have to lift boxes anymore.
People dont seem to remember how our grandparents survived when there wasnt huge grocery stores back then like there is today. I keep hearing get a three month supply but back in the day they had a one year supply. People would plant their gardens , process their food ,freezing, canning, drying ,ect. They were self sufficient and would survive from one harvest to the next, this is how people survived for centuries. Country living is your best bet to survive in todays world also.
We are from the city originally but a couple years ago moved to the country recently. I’m amazed I can buy an entire cow, chickens from a farmer, eggs. The gardens here! It’s a bounty and I hope they leave rural folk be.
I spend way more to feed my chickens than if I bought eggs from a store. America has no food shortage. If anything we are a wasteful county. Maybe Americans get eat a bit less and lose some weight. I guess I put my trust and faith in the Lord.
@@MyMonkeyMinions don't count on it, friend. There is no refuge , they want and are taking our farmland right from beneath us. If your wish is for people to be able to be let alone , it may be that some us won't get that, but do what we may have to , so that our children can. I'm not happy about it but it's on the horizon,
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I hope it doesn't come to it, but know hope is not a tactic.
I agree ... at least a year, maybe two if possible. Just remember to rotate perishables and when/if the time comes ... ration!
@@pegatheetoo1437 yes, a human can last a long time off potato's and water. Rainwater is easy to collect and filter, same with dehumidifier collection pan. Im learning how to jar meat for storage , I can afford a pretty good amount now even with inflation, its easy to grow loads of potatoes for filler calories. And garlic and onions fresh pulled are almost medicinal, I'm also getting a container each of rsw local honey and the darkest unfiltered maple syrup, every week, both last forever and a couple good dollops each a day can keep your body functional, if I could get a green house and some 🍋 lemon trees now...😋 I might accidentally end up healthier from this ordeal 😵
15 years ago I started 2 for 1 food storage. Example: If I use a bag of rice, I buy two bags to replace it. I do this with everything on my grocery list.
1 is none, 2 is 1! :)
Dude, I subbed to this channel, due to your wit, your humor, and your intelligence. BUT YOUR HEART..... SIR I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS.
You are a golden soul. May you and your family always be blessed.
Thank you so much
“Nothing happening right now is by accident.” 🙌🏼💯💯💯💯💯💯
We live like our Depression era grandparents and beat inflation by not spending money. My grandmother said "nothing is expensive if you don't buy it." It's hard but there are usually alternatives. Even cutting back on everything you can could free up resources for higher fuel costs. We're just not driving unnecessarily.
My grandmother would make syrup from corn cobs to use in place of sugar, which the local general store often ran out of. They made do and made money from their garden, chickens, milk cows, foraging, fishing, hunting, and trapping. Then they made chicory and dandelion root coffee extender. I planted yaupon holly to make a caffeinated tea. It's the only naturally occuring plant with caffeine in North America.
A polar vortex and power outages are what got us completely prepped a couple of winters ago. We added two more wood stoves, the small ones used in tents, plus 6 heat convection fans to circulate warm air. Got the bucket system for bulk foods, bigger and bigger garden each year, more egg laying birds, more goats, and more books on foraging in the Ozarks. And all that will be our entertainment. The number one thing to do is remain debt-free and own some land.
Very good info..true!
Teaching my adult kids the same tricks my grandmother's taught me.
But you will always have property taxes
@@kimberlybarker419 depends on the state and your status

After seeing your other video last year about storing wheat berries, I did get the food grade buckets you showed and ordered hard wheat, soft wheat, rice and beans. I also bought a grinder. I've been working on getting things stored and it's all because of you and the great information you've shared. This video gave me some new ideas to work on, so thanks for that. It's a crazy world and there's nothing wrong with being prepared.
Wonderful! I'm so glad Sam
You need to rotate your food.
Just thought I’d share …a good place to get taller metal food grade buckets with lids for free probably….the theaters…the butter for the popcorn comes in tall grey metal buckets and the lids have the folding tabs to seal them…
mine are in sealed bags
My daughter helped me do Spring cleaning, and got rid of my "excess kitchen gadgets", which included a $250 wheat grinder, a Berkey water filter with extra filters, and other costly, necessary things! I can't afford to replace the grinder, so I can't get red wheat. 🥺
New sub. My daughter recently bought the LG freeze dryer and shared that video with her. I'm glad you and your wife share informative videos to help us prepare for what may come.
Prep with the Lord, get into His WORD.
Worry is a subtle way of telling God that He's fallen asleep at the wheel and that things aren't under His authority, but ours. Yet we can make an active choice to say no to worry. Instead of spinning on thoughts of everything that feels so out of control, we can choose to turn to God.
How does the LG freeze dryer compare to the harvestright?
I don’t get how he doesn’t have millions of views. Top tier quality always.
I suggest starting a channel on Rumble and building an audience there in addition to what you have here on yt. Never know when prepping will be viewed as unacceptable!
You can't help everyone Nate, but look at the following you have helped!! We love you man.
“Nothing happening right now is by accident”. I’m hearing that loud and clear. And the ones causing these abnormal times want us all dependent, so it’s time to get as independent and self reliant as possible.
Thanks Haxman from one father to another for helping me to keep things as normal as possible for my family.
Now it’s off to Kim’s channel because I already bought 50lb of hard red and need to know what to do with it lol.
Also, I too have started canning, watch out when you start because it becomes crazy addicting.
Canning IS addicting! Hearing those lids pop, and all those filled jars of food just puts a happy smile on your face! Canning is also very relaxing.. 🤗
Yep, for sure. THIS worldwide ‘debacle’ is ALL BY DESIGN. Whether you believe in The Word, or the Bible and Scripture..which it too, is by design, in another type of “design”. But, the so-called ‘leaders’ of our country as well as other countries, have a different purpose for which this is all unfolding. Theirs is complete control of the world’s population, God’s is a punishment that we SO deserve for neglecting His Word..as well and JUST AS importantly, His Son.
Wheat berries are the same thing as farro. You can cook and use it as you would rice. It has a nutty flavor and a chewy texture. It’s quite delicious. When cooking it takes about the same time to cooks as brown rice. You can use more water to cook it, sort of like how you cook pasta in lots of boiling water. It will absorb some of the water but not a huge quantity. If you have extra water once it’s cooked it can just be drained off. If you have a wheat grinder that will adjust to do a coarse grind you can crack the wheat into large particles you can make cream of wheat by cooking the coarsely ground wheat in a pan with water or milk until it thickens.
That is so true. Here in Oregon the politicians are directly and unsubtilely attacking independence. They already regulate water puddles left after a rain as state property. They have actually tried to regulate and tax backyard gardens as "farmland" but last I heard I think that measure failed. They have also failed to put state controlled water valves on private wells that measure how much water is used and can be remotely shut off. That was because too many rural people literally threatened to shoot anyone who tried to install that on their wells. They are also desperate to push through a "mileage" tax so they can record where your car goes choose where and when you can drive it.
@@mal35m
Since that's their stated goal, they will keep trying, or bury it in another bill, until it passes. I'm in California, so I know about control. People say, Why don't you move? Even if I did move, whatever is enacted on the west coast will soon reach all the way to the east coast...
Hi, I’m in New Zealand, we don’t really have issues with food supplies yet, but the food prices are out of control as we only have 2 large supermarket chains, so they get to charge what they want. Not many are prepping if you talk to people about upcoming food crisis they think your crazy.
Love your video ❤️
Yeah well you guys put up with the witch Ardern, so not surprised. I lived in NZ for a year, and was shocked at the level of naivete in many people.
I'm in Auckland, NZ and I believe we should all be storing food..now....yesterday!
I buy 2-4 items from the supermarket each week but feel the need to do more soon. And definitely start to grow veges!! They are SO expensive aren't they..and I eat a lot of cauliflower!
Where did you get your food grade buckets from? And do you know the best place to buy rice and beans in bulk?
southern kiwi prepper here nice to see there is other kiwis out there doing the same thing :)
I remember first watching your channel and Kim was afraid to even be filmed originally, to now having her own channel. Glad to see the growth and good luck to her success (I subbed to show the love)!
Thank you so much!
We had a couple dozen hens, plus several roosters (most of which we eventually ate), a few years ago in Texas. With over 20 hens, we were only getting a handful of eggs a day for a long time. Now, we were novices and didn't need a lot of eggs for our young family at the time, so we didn't think much of it then. Later, though, we realized we should have been getting TONS more eggs! Then, it dawned on us that we had a bull snake living under the chicken coop and that we were feeding it most of our eggs!! However, it never harmed the chickens that were feeding it (smart snake!), and it's quite possible the bull snake was keeping away the rattlesnakes that lived out in the field around us.
Whoah that is crazy. It could have been 10x worse but you figured it out at least
I have a family of kingsnakes on the property. They keep down the mice and keep the rattlesnakes away. I don't mind losing a few eggs to them. Just gotta check for eggs more often.
We have Opossums I relocate them if a Stinger in the ass does not work but they like eggs and they try Crowding the Chickens kinda weird. Anyway they were living behind my small Coop when we discovered the broken eggs and a dead Bird. That's it I have to lock the Cage every night because I can't have a Rooster to protect the ladies. My Origional Rooster took on all the Hawks we have dozens every day and a White Owl or Owls here in Southern California. 18 miles east of Hollywood!

There was a black racer coiled around the eggs in our coop one day. Needless to say, I check VERY carefully before putting my hand in the boxes now.
The best thing about freeze drying is you can put a bunch of your stuff in regular jars and use it on a regular basis and not have to use your freezer as much.
I would like to get one but I know it's a pretty big investment.
I enjoy your channel cuz you're simple.
I tell all beginners : Get a note book and write down the amount of each food you use everyday for 6 months, then add 5% to the totals of each food type. Different people eat different amounts of each food. This will show you what YOUR group needs to start your pantry. Six months is a good start, NOT a finish line.
Go to lowes etc--- and buy many of the 5 gallon buckets with the screw on air tight lid, fill these with dry rice, dry beans, dry peas, dry corn etc - -
Don't forgot can goods - most have at least 5 shelf life.
What kind of dry ice? ..does it have to be refrigerated?
@@rosacampbell1587
Dry rice. I thought it said "dry ice" at first! 🤣
I just ate a can of 2017 Denison's chili. I checked the container for dents, bulging, making sure the lid was still down from the canning process. And the smell test. Then I was my guinea pig, but I needed to know. I ate the whole can with no problem. It had a very slight taste of tin, but it was good! The vitamin content was probably down a bit, but I was thinking of emergencies with no food. We throw too much away, based on their "best by" date.
The chili was probably canned in 2015.
Try to get food grade buckets and gamma seal lids if you can
@@sharrilswindle752
I just bought some 5 gal food grade buckets at Walmart. About $4.50 each.
"Nothing happening right now is by accident" love that. Awesome video.
Just a little FYI, brother. Flour can last a long time. You have to put your flour in the freezer for a couple of days (it kills the weevil eggs, etc.), then you put it in your canning jars (fill it to the top). then in the oven. After 20 minutes, take the Jars of flour out one at a time. As you take each jar out, as you do so, take damp (not soaking wet) cloth or paper towel, wipe the top rim of the jar off, then put your lids on, wait till you hear a pop (indicated that it sealed properly), then proceed to next jar until they are all sealed, and...your good to go.
What temperature in the oven please?
@@michelledytor3182 I think it is set at 230 degrees. i Can give you a link to a lady's video here on YT. It should explain it better than I can.
What about not doing any of that and leaving it in the bag it came in?
@@badxradxandy weevil Eggs. There is weevil eggs in the flour. That is why you do it that way.
@@straightupandforward7494 I think people don't realize anymore that ALL food products come with some degree of 'contamination'....it just is. We have been so seperated for so long from the sources of food we have forgotten. I remember reading about how to salt cure a ham and laughed when I read the part about 'cut off the mold'...some of these younger people would just faint dead away if they only knew.
As scary as all of this is, it's really awesome the way you use humor in your videos. It helps to make things seem just a little less scary without diminishing the seriousness of the situation or your tips. In times like these, humor is going to be very, VERY important.
Mass produce Winter Squash, each produce around 200 seeds and they store extremely well. It will help with feeding people.
I am definitely planning on starting this but it just so happens that I just finished build my home and now have quite a few acres in the countryside. But building the house basically by myself over a decade has proved tough and did not allow for time to build out things like a garden. But I have been watching for videos on this and many other DIY stuff and seriously keep this up you have some quality stuff and more than a few of your ideas have be implemented at my house! So thanks man! On the flip side my house looks great and I cant believe what I have accomplished while working a full time office job at the same time.
Thanks! That's awesome. Congratulations!
Growing vegetables is easier than building a house. They grow themselves and you can start in a cardboard box.
Congratulations on the house. With that kind of dedication you'll be set in no time.
put a few baby fruit trees and some berry bushes in the ground, snd it won't take much more than that. wait til they produce, and it's not a lot of work or your time involved. but it takes a few years to get fruit so do it asap and you won't regret it. Water them until they are well established and rooted really well over the 1st year til it gets rainy. .
@@theCosmicQueen i grew 11 plants of okra in a 4'x 4' by 8" raised bed. i would get 4-5lbs of okra every third day till october !! it would take one hour to pluck all of it.
Great video! Another great tip someone told me; every time you’re at a hardware store buy a cheap pair of work gloves. Just keep them stashed. If the world did completely fall apart it would be a good trade item. Due to people having to do Manuel labor out of necessity. Also my wife’s a sewer and I’m going to buy a roll of denim to make cloths or just to trade in general. Thankyou for the video!
Homestead Heart has great videos for beginners that want to learn to pressure can. And many recipes for meats veggies and dry beans etc. It will take all the fear out of pressure canning. The main thing is to never leave the pressure canner unattended...till the process is finished. This is one time you always watch the pot.
One of the food preps people overlook is making hardtack or flat crackers. If you have the skill to pour ingredients into the bowl of a mixer, you are good to go. 5 pounds of plain flour, some salt, and water will yield 5 days of rations of carbohydrates (flattened, cooked bread) for a Civil War soldier. Requires no special preserving - will outlast 30 years. Crumble into hot water, tea or coffee. No mess, no fuss. No grinding wheat berries, finding copious amounts of water and fuel. No desiccants. No rotation. So, you are big guy so we will allow 2 pounds a day. Prices are going up. It will cost you $30 for a month. I store mine in rigid plastic containers in the garage.
It’s awful
@@Eyota567 you could always eat worms 🤷
@Gretchen K. yuck lol
Can you not use self rising flour ?
This is a great backup item. If food is short, you will eat it. Keep in mind that if you only eat this though, you're going to get sick -- not enough protein, vitamins, or minerals. Store a whole bunch of other stuff, plus multivitamins, to stay strong & well through the times ahead 🙂
Yeast can be stored in the freezer. I put mine in a freezer bag. Every time I buy more I just add it to my bag. Also you can add bay leaves to your buckets of flour or beans to kill weevil's. You can grow a bay laurel tree in your yard. If you drink tea. Order some black tea plants for your herb garden and harvest the leaves to make your own. Other herbs and mints can be added for more flavors. For instant milk... In the Spanish section of foods at Wal-Mart there is NIDO brand instant milk. Especially for children. It has vitamins and milk fats in it and comes in a large canister. I find it cheaper than other brands and get more for your money.
Sooooo happy I found you! My freeze dryer will be here Friday. I am drying to do eggs first to have in my longer term food storage. And then milk. Haha. And butter and fruit and leftovers and garden food wtc. Can’t wait. This is so helpful
I don't have wheat berries. It makes me sick after a couple days of eating it. And we don't grow wheat in the Caribbean. Fruit hangs off of trees here, and our growing season is about 9 months long. In late summer early fall, it's too turbulent and the sun too strong for even full sun plants. That's when mangoes are done and bananas are flourishing.
Plant morninga it is very fast growing and very nutritious.
@@silverrose7554 we have decades old trees growing on my property. They're wild, all over the island. No need to plant them or papaya, mango, avocado or tamarind. They're all over. I have a real cinnamon tree.
You are probably gluten intolerant. That's not the same as allergic or having celiac. I buy gluten free flour and eat rice and potatoes instead of bread. I can eat wheat once a day without harm. If I eat it more often, I get bad stomach aches and irregularity. Read up on gluten intolerance. Yours is probably not like anyone else's.
@@Pluscelamemechose Some gluten sensitivity is to GMO wheat found in process ed foods. Some is truly gluten intolerance. I'm sorry if I irritated you with my suggestion, but many people besides you read these posts, and not all of them have paradise in their backyard, like you do. Have a blessed day.
@@Pluscelamemechose I am done addressing the topic, and was done last night. Good bye.
If all that a person is willing to do to prepare is buy canned foods: You can fit a year's supply of canned food (1100 cans) in a space that's just 30"x30"x48". You could fit that in a corner somewhere. Assuming cans are the size of chili cans and assuming you eat three cans a day, 365 days a year. You'll eat 1095 cans and have 5 cans left over. Find a sale where canned foods are a buck a can, buy 1100 cans, you'll eat for a year for just $1100. And you'll be prepped for the food shortage.
Just found your channel and LOVE it! Chickens really are a great suggestion. We started with 5 birds about 15 years ago. Now we're up to 30 hens, and will often have one rooster. I do butcher hens once they get to be 3-4 years old and stop laying. With a rooster around, we'll leave some eggs out at our barn when we have broody hens to let them hatch out and raise the new chicks. The new hens go into the laying flock, and the roosters can be raised to adult size and then butchered. Every couple of years we'll raise meat chickens that are good for roasting for Sunday dinner. Non-meat breeds are typically too tough and too small (IMO) to make good roasters. We turn them into homemade chicken stock. I really want to get a freeze dryer as you indicated, and my wife and I have considered started a beehive. For folks considering this stuff, you really don't need a ton of space. We started out on a 1/3 acre with chickens. Even now, we're "only" on 4 acres and can support most of our food consumption (family of 4).
I'm worried what excuses will come out with bird flu (bird flu is just the codename for the fall-OTT from all the recent uptake in vaccines) and how 'they' will do mandatory poultry inspections and can order entire flocks to be disposed of under health acts. This is bad news, they don't want anyone having free or cheap healthy rich real food!
Hi haxman! We have a regular dehydrator. Uses electric. Maybe we can barter w it.
There’s a guy on TH-cam that does container beehives that looks like a really viable and economical way of keeping these. He doesn’t like plastic jugs I can’t remember his name I’m sorry but it’s something to look into
It's amazing just how small a non meat chicken is after you get through plucking feathers. We had 2 huge roosters I killed . Cleaned they looked like pidgeons
I watched one of Kim's videos right after yours. I got on Amazon and already ordered my first bag of soft white wheat berries. I bake all my own bread from a sourdough I started 7 yrs ago. So I'm excited to see how it reacts to the freshly milled flour.
"nothing happening right now is by accident."
Truth.
Just noticed even after subscribing for over a year or two that you guys are based. Thank you and I've forwarded to friends that are equally concerned.
Yes I freeze dry leftovers!
I am making 6 batches of chicken casserole. I'll freeze two, eat one tonight and freeze dry the rest.
Loving freeze drying our extra eggs now.
I'm just starting w whole meals a month after I bought mine bc my wife and son love the FD apples so much.
Pretty cool video Adam. Alot of people wouldn't know how to survive if supply just stopped. I grew up doing everything you're doing, except freeze drying. Because, well there wasn't a freeze dryer on the market for home use 45 years ago. Now the freeze dried eggs. Being I spent my entire adult life in the army, I've had some strange stored eggs. So I'm not sure about reconstipated eggs. But when you're in a bind, you'll eat anything to not be hungry. You're videos are helping alot of people to get back to being self reliant. So keep it up, your channel is awesome.
We make our eggs into powder and then we vacuum packet into mason jars we love our harvest right freeze dryer
dude, i feel you on the food poisoning. i got it from a restaraunt about 10 years ago and im still paranoid about it. i triple check that meats cooked thoroughly, i use clean dishes constantly while cooking or wash the ones im using. never want to go through food poisoning again.
Just subbed! Great channel. NOTE TO HUNTERS: BEWARE OF "CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE" in deer, elk, etc.! Test the meat before eating. This disease is most likely in every state and is spreading, not contained. Prayers and blessings to all!🙏❤
Very sensible advice for all people.
To have your core needs covered at all time will always be number one.
Great work.
Keep it going.
Yup! Crazy chicken lady here!!!! Love my babies!! Great video. Thanks!!
Omg I started grinding my own wheat this weekend. Actually made my own bread from hard red wheat berries. Glad I’m going something right lol
Totally agree! Everything that is happening is by design.
For those who aren't set up to buy wheat berries and grind them I recommend King Arthur Flour and I have never had bugs get in my flour. Just put it in an air tight package or container.
If you need to store it for 6 or a year or more put it in the freezer or refrigerator.
You have such a beautiful home that is so tidy and clean.
Something to consider amongst threats of food shortages and in particular,
baby formula.
Women can induce lactation on their own to supplement available nutrition for their infant.
The Medela website has an article on inducing lactation, and ways to increase your supply... taking fenugreek for example to amp up milk production.
( I took fenugreek in the form of a tincture after my first and second daughters were born. I had enough milk for a couple of hungry babies ! 🌷 )
If you have chicken fever, I recommend getting some bantams. Mine breed uncontrollably. Durring the spring/summer/fall there's always at least one that went missing, is presumed dead, and then comes back with up to 15 chicks a couple weeks later. Which is good and bad, because the hawks like eating them. So it's good to always have more showing up.
can you fit one into a canning quart jar???
@@theCosmicQueen you definitely could if it was cooked and broken down.
Another way to keep eggs without freeze drying is doing glass eggs (stored in pickling lime) or coating them with mineral oil and dry store them. They’ll last 6 months to a year, and often times more!
Can u tell me more about this
I've been dehydrating eggs and blending them to powder. They can last for years. Similar to how he did the freeze dryer.
@@Johnstonsamantha I’m not expert, so I definitely suggest searching here on TH-cam and good ol google. I can’t remember the exact amounts of lime per ox water. The do need to be CLEAN eggs with the bloom still on.
@@karenok464 I've never had success with dehydrating eggs, they turn orange and gummy. Do you have any tips?
I have 18 girls and I get around 11-15 eggs a day. Eggs will keep in the fridge for 7 months easy.
This is not another boring SHTF video. The banter and editing are superior to most. Thanks.
I LOVE my Harvest Right. I've prepped SO MUCH since Nov 2021 when I got it, and it was money well spent. Takes the guess work out of long term storage. Great video!!!
I just ordered one myself, excited but no clue how to use it I've never owned a freeze dryer before so any special tips pls share thx
Bless your heart. You're doing a great publiic service, a patriotic service, my brother. Keep up the good vibes.
I love your A-frame chicken coop! I'm going to have to check on your page and see if you have videos about building that. New subscriber. Thanks for the good video!
If you build an A-frame, make it at least a foot taller than you are, or you will be utterly miserable working in it. I have one and hate it. We built a new run out of cattle panels and 4x4s for the ground frame (hoop house style). Covered it in hardware cloth 3 feet up, chicken wire over the rest. Very roomy and easy to stand up in! We chose to attach a large prefab henhouse to it, but some folks build the roosts and nest boxes right into the hoop house. We also built a hardware cloth tunnel between the two runs, so it more than doubles their space. We have the old run closed off for now and are letting it regrow grass, weeds, and insects for them to forage in later (without letting them over-graze it).
@@jms9057 wow that sounds great! Would love to see a picture of it.
We buy our organic pasture raise burger from a local rancher here on the gulf coast of Alabama. I also by pork and chicken on sale. I have started canning our store bought meats as well as venison and wild pig out of the freezer and putting it on the shelf.
We harvest the chickens after 4 years, that's when they start laying less. I try to get 4 layers every fall. That way they mature over the winter and when the days get longer they start laying. I like to keep 10 hens, my grandson complains about the rooster crowing in the morning, so no more roosters.
Aww give your dog a hug, don’t push them away. Thanks for your video.
If you are living with in your means, buy 3 months of groceries isn’t out of the question. Buying 3 months today versus a little extra every week, the current rate of inflation is about 8 percent a month so stretching it out over 6 months saves you almost1 months cost on groceries , but remember once you have your storage, keep it built up, don’t just use out of it and not replace it
Yes, the trick is to keep buying and "putting in the back" as you use stuff up "taking from the front". To me, it's better to have extra of what YOU eat as opposed to something "weird" you've never tried. If you think something will be good in an emergency, give it a try on your average Tuesday and see if you like it before spending money on a 3 month supply of it. Everyone has different preferences! No sense being more miserable than necessary if times get tougher.
I appreciate both of you doing this for us all. Gratitude
Another great video! I bought wheat berries and the food grade buckets last year, after watching your video. I recently bought a hand crank grinder and I need to test it. I will definitely check out Kim’s channel and find out more about the wheat berries. Thanks for the info!
Thanks!
Where can I buy wheat berries?
I ordered them off of Amazon. I think Haxman might have the link on his video. It may also be on his wife’s channel too.
You're funny and lighthearted! Making the best out of a situation. Subbed, and eager to watch more.
My world hasn't gone crazy, nor has it gone down hill. I spend way more money feeding chickens than if I bought eggs. Enough veggies from garden to share.
This was great! Thank you. Opened my eyes to freeze drying for prepping. Great info
I laughed, well needed. Love you guys. Information was so useful and calm. Mostly funny. Just lovely. Thank you.
I started growing potatoes on my balcony on May, 10th 2022. I don't have a garden. All it took is a wooden box, 60 liters of fresh plant soil, sand and some potato seedlings. It is growing great.
HAXMAN: With your southern accent and acting ability I do believe that you could deliver the line flawlessly from the movie Tombstone where Doc Holiday (Val Kilmer) says, "Why, Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave."
Thanks for the video! It was entertaining as well as informative as always.
You’re a daisy if you do. 😄 I almost used the name Ringo in that bit. That’s one of my favorite movies. I just watched it again a couple weeks ago. Thanks!
I like how you leave in the little interruptions :) great video
I slowly have been prepping over the last year and i get what i can, i always buy bulk meat and then seperate into smaller portions for us. It helps save so much. Im also gardening alot this year, more than previous years. Id love to have animals but i live in the city. I still use what land i can for gardening though. I am looking into chickens at least, were allowed to have up to 6 in my city, no roosters tho, so thats what im looking into now. As well as growing their grain too for the most part. Also, we can hunt, fish, and forage. My son is only 10, almost 11, and hes been hunting since he could hold a gun steady. I always wanted to prepare him for anything and he truly is. Thats how it should be. But if it comes to it, i have a garden and back up meats, hopefully chickens soon, and we can hunt and forage.
You can regrow most vegetables also, I took the ends off celery and Romain lettuce, put in a cup with just enough water for the bottom to touch, waited a couple weeks, and got roots, then planted in pots, they are shooting up fast.
Awesome video Haxman! Look forward to your wife's channel. And totally agree with your last comment. 🇺🇸 Oh and the wife has been looking at freeze dryers. If she pulls the trigger I'll make sure we use your link.
Thanks so much!
Dude, I just wanted to say I enjoy you immensely. The info is great, but your sense of humor and your delivery tickles me. :D You remind me of a lot of old friends I haven't seen in a while. Thanks and be well out there. :)
To reconstitute eggs:
2 tsp egg powder
2 esp water
1 stick of butter
#eatingbetter 👍
Butter seems like a lot? Half a cup? Do you mean Tbls?
@@Messymy You missed the joke....
I have never been here,but I my goodness, your knowledge and humor is awesome.Thanks!
During the Great Depression, game animals were nearly extinct within the first year. My pap had a front page newspaper from our area, from the 1960s, Front Page-Deer Tracks seen on X mountain. So it took 30 years for the population to start to come back in that area, i guess.
It's interesting how peppers seem to overlook this fact as if wild animals are endless
Dang!! Thanks - good info
Well take into consideration that at the time, people could live without technology. Most will die off unfortunately when shtf. I know now a lot of states have a uncontrollable wild boar problem too so there's a good source
THANK YOU MR. HAXMAN FOR ALL YO DO TO HELP AND INSPIRE US TO DO BETTER. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
If you don't have room or cant keep chickens legally - check out cortunix quail. Great for both eggs and meat.
Just found your channel and became a new subscriber. I know I need to make these things more of a priority now and appreciate learning from people like you who have it well-thought-out. Thank you!
Our biggest problem is out of my entire family my wife and I are the only ones prepping . I'll tell you this , if the rest of them want to eat they're going to work for it !! There's always wood to split , gardening and water to fetch .
Definitely subscribing, your content is awesome!
What I did was bought 100 pound bags of white rice and black beans, sealed them up with mylar bags with oxygen absorbers, and then putting those bags in labeled buckets. Plus powdered eggs and milk
So good I forwarded this to my family. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Big love from the UK.
Great video.. Maybe more people will wake up and get prepared
For people on a budget: Just picked up some 5gal food grade buckets and screw top lids today from my local Home Depot! Call them ahead of time and ask if they have Leaktite buckets available in store. They have 2 gallon sizes too. Always get the opaque white to keep out light and keep the buckets out of direct sunlight! Screw tight lids- $8 and some change each. Buckets- $7 and some change. My husband sealed all the lids. I’m so excited to finally start on food storage but the shortage itself is kinda scary to recognize. Just bought a few cheap rotisseries to freeze to substitute for the expensive ground turkey that I usually use for taco salad :( seeing that $5 hike in ground turkey price was awful, but we knew it was coming. Truck drivers reporting no ships at the ports! Anyways, that’s why I RAN to your channel for food storage tips. Thanks Haxman 😊
I thought in your thumbnail you were holding a sponge....eat that and take up space in your belly!! 🤣😂🤣 3 deer in the freezer each year....we don't buy much meat from the grocery store!! 🦌🦌🦌
😂 I guess it would work. 😄 🦌👍
Love you and Kim!!!
If you're going to store a lot of frozen beef you should also invest in a small solar system (with enough battery storage) to keep the freezer running in case of a blackout.
It's better to freeze dry the meat if you are going to keep a lot of it. You will pay for the freeze drier in electricity savings alone, and save the solar setup for other jobs.
I also have sprouting seeds in case my garden doesn't do as well as what I might need. Also honey should not be heated over 104 degrees. It will lose the good stuff in it. Just found you channel. I also use honey on wounds with a bandaid.
We bought acerage 5 months ago. Gone super hard and have set ourselves up already to the point we can live off our own food we produce. We hatch 60 of our own chickens each month. Our first ones will be ready to eat shortly.
Any tips for just starting out with chickens, gardening etc on 1 acre to set up quicker and no money haha
@@alisapirkey2185 Absolutely plenty of tips.
Depends on your climate. Grow what’s easy to grow in your area.
Listen to everyone but most just saw it on TH-cam and it’s usually crap.
Grow Perennials first . Means you get crops for multiple years off one plant. Usually they are far more pest resistant. My number one easy to grow is passion fruit. One passion fruit will have over 150 seeds in it. Plant them around your perimeter fences. Will produce in a year and usually zero bug problems. Grape vines , get cuttings off people. They grow like weeds. Strawberries, raspberries blackberries etc. These are all like weeds.
Obviously all your herbs etc . Once again older people who garden would love you to drop in, they will give you heaps of stuff and heaps of advice ( most of it is usually pretty average) the reason I say most people’s advice is average is because they are retired and spend every other day at the garden shops, buying every mulch , fertiliser, plant etc. I use soooo much grass. After 6 months your soil will be full of life under the grass. It holds 10x water and it suppresses weeds. But don’t underestimate weeds , I absolutely love them. Plenty of free green manure. I never compost . I just hoe them and leave them on the top of the soil for mulch and fertiliser for my crops. I never let the weeds get above 3-4 inches. But once again I stress perennials are a 100x easier to produce maintenance free food.
Other than perennials I grow tomatoes, watermelon, and a few others because they grow like weeds.
All this raised bed stuff is junk. It’s expensive, time consuming building. Users a lot more water. When you look at natural vegetation growing wild, does it naturally get a 2 foot elevation before growing? People can do it and it’s fine, but as far as cost effectiveness it is a joke.
As far as chickens go. I’ve researched this for over 35 years and most people have no idea. They all say they need this and that. Which is sort of true .The problem with most information is that chickens are not cost effective. I reckon the time you buy the chooks and the feed and house them, little lone the Vet bills.
Well this is my run down. My 40 odd egg producing chickens that I have hatched heaps of baby chickens from. I would think I would be paying around $10 a dozen at this present time. Over the next year if they don’t all die then I would be around $5-$7 a dozen. I knew that before starting as I had a plan.
The most important thing with chickens is how you feed them while young is soooo important. My 120 chickens that I have we still have from hatching ( I sell some at point of lay) but these chickens from a couple of weeks old eat what I want them to eat for life. They have 30 acres to forage all the time. I get tons of sweet potatoes for almost free. So I chuck them some of that. I grow sunflowers and Pigeon peas and they get some of those each day. Soon they will cost me around 20c a day to feed over 120 chickens.
To breed and grow chooks like this is easy for MEAT chickens. But if you want eggs , then for me it’s no problem as these will replace my original expensive chooks. But they will lay at a much lower rate. Instead of 5 eggs a week I will get around 2-3. But I have heaps of chooks and they basically cost me nothing, so I’m very happy. The 60 odd roosters are our chicken we eat.
If you want any other information don’t hesitate to ask. But honestly go and ask older gardeners, usually they will give you heaps of free plants and seeds.
It’s hunting season here and my husband and friends are out there. I’m a city girl turned country and to everyone who doesn’t like the thought of wild game... Every deer taste a little different, and they differ from elk and antelope. Unless you get one that’s been rutting, they are very very good. Of course you have to season it like any other thing. Try it, you might like it! 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️ Hi from Idaho.
Maple Syrup lasts a long time too, similar to honey. I am not sure about Sorghum or Molasses.
Have you considered freezing your items in the freezer first before putting them in the freezer dryer? It may save a bit of energy or shorten the cycle time of the freeze dryer.
Yes. We usually have the spare set of trays pre-freezing in the freezer while a batch is drying.
I appreciate your video on the water filters.
Very helpful information. Folks can check with church sources too, they typically will have info on where to process your own food storage. The LDS church has centers all over. I remember my folks canning vegetable seeds years ago along with other food stuff.
Kept waiting to hear this "nothing happening right now is by accident" line I was reading in the comments. Wasn't clicking exactly what it meant until hearing it in context.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!
Just found this video! I’m dying of laughter. Crushed it
Dude is funny!!
Omg! I love your channel! I’ve watched and follow so many but you are the easiest and best to watch bar none!!! You don’t make the material dry & boring. Me & my hubby are both big cut ups and are all the time aggravating & picking at each other. My motto in life is: if your not having fun you’re doing something wrong! I could watch you all day! And I had no idea you could freeze dry your own food! What a game changer! Everyone else recommends this or that company to buy freeze dry goods from but they are so expensive. I’m sure this contraption is expensive but I’m sure it will pay for itself in no time compared to buying those products from other companies. Idk why everyone isn’t doing this! I do have a huge deep freezer my grandma gave me that was made by Maytag in the 60’s that’s still going strong that I need to fill up so my oldest daughter took the hunters Ed class & learned to hunt this past year with her boyfriend. My husband has his licenses but has never hunted. He needs to learn! I want for me, my 18yr old son, and my 13 year old boy & girl twins to take the hunters Ed class, get our licenses, get the supplies we need, and to start hunting. I love deer meat! Unfortunately, my hubby is a die hard optimist! He doesn’t think anything will happen and we don’t need to save or store anything. I used to be like that but I consider myself a realist. I’ve seen how things have changed since I was younger & I DO NOT trust the govt or news at all anymore! Even if nothing happens and hopefully it doesn’t then we can donate some food to a shelter if we don’t use it all. But if nothing else as prices continue to rise we will have nice full bellies and have that extra money to spend elsewhere. I’m going to send your video to my husband. He might actually watch it since it’s entertaining. It seems like y’all are like me & want to prep but let’s do it the easiest & most cost effective way possible. Y’all seemed to of already narrowed things down to what is the best, easiest, and cheapest where others just aren’t there yet. It’s like most want to do it like we are back in the old days without all this modern tech. Since we’ve got it let’s put it to use while we can. I’m telling you y’all are like a breath of fresh air! I’m so so proud I stumbled across y’all’s page! I can’t wait to watch your other videos & check out your wife’s page! I hope you have videos on how to set up and maintain chickens and what they need. I have 5 acres of land so I’m thinking we need chickens because they give us eggs and meat. Then goats because they say their milk is really good for you & a lot of folks that can’t drink cows milk can drink goats milk. And I’ve heard goat meat is really good. My hubby had neighbors that bbq’d theirs & he said it was FINE! So that would give us eggs, chicken, milk, and goat meat. Plus we want to start a garden. My hubby is looking for a tiller. He mamaw has an automatic pea sheller already that’s for the whole family to use. My moma has canned her whole life so she said she would teach me. I have a dehydrator, an insta pot (they say it’s great for canning), and a sealer my mom bought and never used so she gave it to me. I like y’all’s sealer. I never thought about needing one. I’ve just tried to collect a little over time. We do have a tiny house so my storage is limited. I do have a decent size shop that’s about a 2 car width with enough space at the back to have room for all your tools if you used it for an auto repair shop. The guy that lived here before us used it for a chop shop back in the day. 🤣🤣🤣 It has a concrete floor so it’s a pretty good old shop. But our home is only about 1100 sq. ft. We do plan to add on in about 3 to 5 years if lumber ever gets reasonable again. Our oldest child has moved out and has her own rent house & big girl job after graduating college as an accountant. Our 21yr old is still home but only has one more year to finish her RN degree. She gets her LPN degree next month. I know as soon as she can afford to she wants her own place. My 18yr old just finished his first year of college so he has 3 more years at home. And the twins will be here awhile. But I know if anything happens I’ll have to feed and take care of them plus my husbands parents & my mom. So it weighs on me wanting to be prepared. But I told you that, sorry I have adhd 🤣, to say that instead of needing bedrooms as much anymore it’s about to get to where I need more entertaining space. That’s why I want to add on to make my kitchen larger, it’s about like one in an apartment, to open it up to my living room and turn it into either an eating area or the dining room. Depends on the funds. Then extend my bedroom out about 5 to 10ft & turn it into the living room & partially open it up to the kitchen and what will be the dining area. Then add on a foyer with a coat closet, a hallway going to the garage we will add on, a bathroom & the utility room. All of that will be new. Then at the end of foyer hallway will be our new bedroom & bathroom. If the funds allow we will take our current and only bathroom & half of the girls bedroom in to make a pantry for the kitchen that will open up to the kitchen. The kitchen butts up to the bathroom. Then the other half of the girls bedroom will become a large storage closet. Part of their room will be a hallway that has a door at the end of our house that will lead to 2 new bedrooms and 2 new bathrooms. If we get to go that route then the boys bedroom will be opened up and become the dining room. If funds don’t allow then all of the above will still happen up until the pantry. We won’t touch the existing bedrooms and just make the eating area the dining room instead. We really need more entertaining room so when the kids start getting married & having kids we will be able to have them all over and feed them. Plus I have a sister out of state so I need a bedroom for her to stay in because right now they have to stay in a hotel when they come. But who knows, if everything goes to crap we might not ever get to add on. But we have a large family that I feel solely responsible for. I have one sister that lives 6 ours away. And my hubby is an only child. I think about these things a lot because my hubby doesn’t share this responsibility and burden with me. So it’s me solely trying to figure out what to do and how to do it. I feel like there isn’t enough time for me to be able to figure it all out! But seeing how y’all do things makes me think I might just be able to pull this off! Thank you for doing this!!! And for simplifying it into the quickest easiest way possible!
Buy extra reputable canning supplies to have on hand and keep your dehydrator running to add to your supplies too! 👍🏻
We vacuum seal our eggs in quart jars! 2 doz per jar. LOVE our freeze dryer!!
Many of Texans in the country are ready for trading and bartering if needed. It is already working, so if your not growing something now, you may wish to start. Also, trading services (electrical, plumbing etc) will be in high demand and can keep your family fed with no worries. GOD BLESS TEXAS. PEACE
I"ve seen this here in East Texas. A man offering to share hay meadow for labor and I have had a man offer to let me HAVE a pig if I pay for the feed for it from birth to adulthood
@@teampenit We Texans also have all the wild boar we need for food! GOD BLESS TEXAS
Wow, you are soooooooo knowledgeable about so many different things!!!!
You amaze me with all these interesting & eye opening ideas!
I just found your videos! You do an excellent job at making all this easy to understand and apply. Thank you!
Have a question: what brand of Mylar bags do y’all suggest?
Thanks! Just for the sake of making it easy we buy our bags from Harvestright.
