Stacking buckets wrong ! Place plywood square between each bucket. The bucket weight will rest on the rim of the bottom bucket. Weight on inside of lid will break over time as plastic drys out. Inside area of lid is very thin. I've seen other prepper channels report on this.
This is a great tip, thanks for sharing. I’m sure you’re right. We use the goods in our buckets regularly so we cycle through them fairly quickly. Could be why we haven’t had this issue.
I use totes instead of buckets because you can put more in them. They cost about the same price now $7 to $12 depending on where you live and where you shop. If all your dry goods are in Mylar bags then you don't need a air tight container like a bucket.
I would think if you were a beginner, the best thing to do is buy the food and then can, freeze dry, dehydrate or vacuumed seal it yourself, then to purchase those expensive #10 cans or anything else that has already been processed... Sure they are nice but the prices of it. I mean, if you are rich and not on some type of limited budget, sure, this will work great. Now however, doing it yourself can be a lot of work, but in the end, you will have twice as much for almost half the price and that is at today's prices.... Just be smart and shop around, look for those mark down/clearance stuff and don't buy a bunch of junk gadgets that isn't necessary. Nice pantry! Thank you.
I think you’d be surprised how much more expensive it would actually be to buy all the food and process it on your own (for the most part). A freeze-dryer is $2000 minimum and even by the time you buy the food, cans, sealer, etc, it adds up. If you’re truly a beginner, you’d want to start on a smaller scale, which is why I made the video previous to this one: th-cam.com/video/IhwiyAiVAwY/w-d-xo.html
Most people who prep don't buy all at once so they are able to afford a few items weekly. It is far less expensive to purchase cans or buckets of food than to purchase a freeze dryer, dehydrator, the food itself, the canner, the cans and lids, etc..., not to mention the time involved.
Why the negatives Nancies??? The food topics are important and everyone has their own priorities/abilities when storing up for any future needs. Please keep on posting! You’re doing a good work!! 👏🏼
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.
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!
i don't know why people choose to live in a land where you feel you need to prep incase of missiles attacks and so on. the earth is big just make a plan and move. the reality is this isn't the movies there will be no time to escape or do much. many peppers i think are people who suffer from excessive anxiety and worry about the future events they have no control over. i do believe one should be prepared for certain things but to live like this is to my opinion a waste of money. like a guy who has 100 guns in his home hidden behind walls and he's making bunkers and all that. this is all from watching too much movies. these bunkers won't even save you from a powerful tornado let alone a nuclear weapon.
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.
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
Preppers mean well, but the women be showing bread & dinner menus like all will be well. No one will be baking bread when you're out of power and defending your home from starving people. They need to realize lol.
Humans have prepared meals for well over one hundred thousand years without modern conveniences such as indoor plumbing and electricity. I've been in a situation without utilities for a month due to hurricanes several times. People still need food for energy and we will make the effort to cook. You need to realize lol.
Im sorry you feel that way. It wasn’t intended to show off. We legitimately started by buying some #10 cans of a few things and built it up from there. As I mentioned in the video, it’s not something you do all at once. I recommend starting with a 3-month supply, which I’ve explained in my previous video: th-cam.com/video/IhwiyAiVAwY/w-d-xo.html
I've been a prepper for decades & this is an excellent presentation. I wish I had this when I started well before household computers & the internet. Your abrasive comment is the real "show off."

Gorgeous woman with intellect!
If you can’t find a bucket opener. Simply place a knee on the center of the lid and peel back the lid while leaning some body weight onto the lid.
Excellent video. I've been prepping since the 70s, before I even knew what it was called.
Being prepared is a good feeling!
Use both sizes of storage containers. It's just sensible.
Thank you for your video. I am a beginner so i am doing research this was helpful thank you .
You’re so welcome!! I’m not an expert, but I’m happy to answer any questions you have if I can. 🩵

Very good tips
Smart!
How many people are in your family? This is too much for only TWO people with NO pets.
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.
That bread does look good ❤! 😂
Try it! Easier than you think. 🩵

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

No water and power in an emergency.
All true. No water and power. They will shut both down in an earthquake emergency.
