I moved my family out of Seattle across the country. We have land and I put in a garden. I invested in a pressure canner and canning jars. It's been busy at harvest time! Time consuming at first, but after a while, it's super easy! What I don't can, I dehydrate and dry can. The rest can be turned into powder and dry canned.
We are looking into living off grid, so this video has been incredibly helpful! As vegans, we don’t hunt, so living off the land in a colder climate will be a challenge! Thank you for such a variety of adaptable ideas, I am inspired!
I would add a couple things to your list. I’ve recently became interested in freeze drying. You have to outlay a bit to get started, but I think having a bunch of fruit freeze-dried and shelf-stable is a bonus. Also consider growing greens indoors like sunflower sprouts and if you don’t want to deal with dirt you can get fiber pads to grow on or really go crazy and have pre-seeded pads from Hamama. Lastly, I’ve started looking into wild greens and learning what’s growing in my backyard or park that I can eat. For instance, dandelions along a path not close to a highway. Bonus: dandelions are good for fighting covid. Love your show.
There is quite a bit more to do if you want to store foods for safely for long periods of time. Nuts and brown rice will go rancid quick. You also have to use a freezing process to kill the upcoming larva in your oats and quinoa before long storage. TH-cam channel “the provident prepper” has tons of info on long term food storage.
Great video. One thing that'll make your life even easier is the fact that you don't need to worry about eating a so-called "complete" protein. The body breaks down proteins and stores the individual amino acids until they need to be combined into a protein. So no need to eat proteins in any particular amino acid ratio, just eat a sufficient number of calories made up of a wide variety of whole foods, and your body takes care of the rest. Too easy!
Definitely encourage you to jump into canning! In our state (SC) you can have 24"centers if you use 2x12's for framing, which is what we did on an interior supporting wall on our new cottage.( It allowed for extra sound blocking insulation on the bedroom side, too.) I did this for canning storage! My husband made the doors from the shiplap we used on the walls so it blends in & I now have GOBS of storage space. We installed push latches, so you merely push in to open--no latches! To open any of those doors & see rows & rows of green beans yellow beans, stewed tomatoes, salsa, pumpkin, butternut squash, soups, dill pickles, etc., just warms my heart! I can have a meal/soup ready in a jiffy! Your canning "Bible"? Ball's Blue book! I got mine years ago for $5. I think they're around $8 now. It's easy--just follow the directions. You can do this, and then teach others to boot!
I stopped buying big bulk items. I but smaller bags and keep them in sealed in the original smaller package in a food grade bin. When I open one bag it i don’t have to worry about the rest, they are still in a package.
So a few things you should really add people should only buy food they already eat and will eat and only the amount they will use in the amount of time before it goes bad and continually rotating thru there food . Being prepared is great but buying tons of food that you won’t eat unless the apocalypse happens is not a good idea because more than likely you will just end up throwing that food out in a couple years and that puts more strain on an already strained system. Also if you add a few extras every time you go to the store you will have a good supply in no time. It also won’t all go bad at the same time . Also freeze dried food maintains almost all of its nutritional value and has a long shelf life if stored properly. Most things will need to be stored in a special way if you want them to stay good past 2-3 years. Also having a swayer water filter / life straw or something similar would be important for long term water needs. Also having skills to garden and forage are important skills to have in a long term situation. The biggest thing people new to this who haven’t been doing this for the last decade need to make sure you are buying only things you will actually use either way and stocking extras of the things you use on a regular basis.
I'm sure you will go through those oats fairly quickly, but please note rolled oats are NOT shelf stable for 25-30 years, only whole grains which have not been rolled or milled are good for long term storage. The rolled oats are good for 6 months to 2 years. Ideally, you should package them in multiple airtight containers sized for using within 2-3 months, limiting air exposure the the whole bag. Insects are are also a much greater risk when dealing with milled or flaked grains, so you may want to put some bay leaves inside each container and or freeze them. 😉
That’s what oxygen packets are for no need to freeze. You can get oat groats too and blend into flour it works better to grind than rolled actually. Oxygen absorbers and moisture packs can’t be used together they fight against each other so to speak so store things well. Also Tupperware’s aren’t really great protection the 5 gallon buckets are best
One big question in my area is: "What can be easily prepared if the there is no electricity?" Rolled oats, buckwheat, bulgur and couscous are surely the easiest ones to prepare. Nuts and nut butters are a good tip! Another thing that happens to me sometimes is that the critters (or their eggs) are in the package already.
In South Africa they switch off the power grid for the country every few months, for hours at a time. We use emergency lights, puck lights or LED lights, torches and also small gas burners to cook.
@@luannerademan4498 Oh, no, actually nothing has happened until now where I live (Austria), but when the first lockdown was introduced last year I became aware of the fact that we all depend on electricity to cook. I was happy that there haven't been any black-outs and that it was possible to do the groceries but I haven't been able to shake that thought off since then. In Vienna people use gas stoves. In some huts in the mountains, people use wood to cook.
The most important part of my pantry is my sourdough starter. With just flour and water you can have the start of breads, pizzas, muffins and all kinds of sweets that you can make very easily. It’s definitely worth looking up how to start and maintain a sourdough starter if you want to be healthier now and prepared for any type of bread shortages in the future
Others have left comments about brown rice going rancid, but the nuts or anything with higher fat content will as well. Also make sure you freeze your grains for at least 24 hrs or more then let them go back to room temp and then you can store. It kills pantry bugs. You can also put bay leaves in the container you are storing them in. You could look in to using a food saver type device to store your powders or anything you may dehydrate your self. This would also be good if you open a large bag of something and wont go through it quickly or want to keep the freshness up.
@@strawberryme08 I haven't heard of the dry ice, but I also don't have anyone who sells it near me. I can understand how a big bag of grains might be hard to freeze. I have a normal fridge/freezer. I just do it in batches. I am going to break down the big bag either way. I just eat a few meal preps that I have in there to make room.
Break up those large bags into smaller more manageable sizes and keep them in the freezer until your ready to use them. Prolongs the life of the product and it won’t go rancid on you.
Repackage that bulk into smaller packages, use oxygen absorbers, bay leaves for insect repellent, freeze grains at least 72 hours and let thaw completely before sealing, rotate your stock, buy what you eat and eat what you buy, etc. These are some of the basic prepper principles to reduce waste and prevent spoilage. We are FT RVers and our freezer is tiny! In case of SHTF, I have organic freeze dried fruit powders, dried fruits and veg, jars of whole fruit and veg, and some canned veg (canned is not my favorite!), along with vac-sealed whole food antioxidant supplements. I am allergic to most protein and greens powders because they usually contain nightshades and/or soy. I also don’t tolerate extracted pea protein. 😓 I have tons of lentils on hand, along with probiotics. We ferment our own kraut and other goodies, so that is helpful; in the right climate, I don’t even have to fridge those things at all. Thank you for encouraging vegan prepping! NONE of my vegan friends store much extra food at all and I worry for them so much. 😖
After a couple months of horrible stomach pain. I fastest for one week and today I made my first plant-based meal. Tofu scramble with lots of veggies. No pain yet so is good thing. I hope plant-based eating is my cure 🙏
This is the first video of yours I have come across. You just laid it all out for us. Even if no food shortage this information is crucial! Thank you so much!
I love seeing this for plant based. It is 👍 you can also make your own dried potatoes with a dehydrator. If you cook and squish it flat on a mat then dry it and grind you have powdered potatoes. For canning a ball canning book " the blue book" is like a canning and preserving bible. You can also make tofu from dried soy beans. Soak, blend, put through but milk bag, heat at a summer stirring constantly for 20 mins, then cut off the heat and add in an acid like vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit till it cools and then put curd in but milk bag and press the more you press the firmer the end product is. Store in cold water for 3 days
✨Hello precious ones! 🐚🤍🌸🍁before I even get to take a listen, I am overwhelmed with love for your sweet family...I know it is our heavenly Father’s love!!!! ✨✨✨✨ ...This is a worship set blessing my heart, desired and prayerfully felt to bless you all with! ✨You’re doing beautifully, stay encouraged and looking up!! ...lifting you all in prayer!!! Thank you for your time to make every video and your most recent blog writing! Loved it!!!!!!! 🐚🤍🥰thank you!!!!!
You did a FANTASTIC job on this video! I, too, am a prepper, and I think it is so awesome that you are using your channel to encourage others to be prepared. Such great info!
LOVE this one!!! We've been thinking about shortage prep too so thank you for sharing what you're doing and all the back ground info on the different items and shelf life :)
Prepping in Ireland too. Thank you for this x ps let’s also project our consciousness into new earth where humanity is unified, free, healthy & abundant. We are powerful beyond belief ⭐️ 🌈 🌎 🌟 ☮️
I get very sick from soy. Have lots of food allergies. So stocking up on what I can eat. It is hard to find things sometimes. But everytime I go out I pick something up. I am sending your video to my son. Been sending lots of prepper videos.
we buy organic soy beans in bulk from amazon as well as the oats.. like you guys. and after hearing about soy shortages we purchased a soy milk maker. it is so easy to use. drop in dry soy beans, add water then push a button. It even cooks the milk and it beeps when done. now we make our own fresh at home. you can make any kind of milk in it as well as both oatmilk and even oatmeal.
Great video, thanks. Let's all get prepped. We may never lose power and food for long but it sure makes you feel good to develop more self-sufficiency.
Yes... when all possible try to grow your own produce. And if you have a dehydrator dehydrate as much veggies and fruits as possible. Stay safe people.
Love this video thank you!!! I’ve been thinking of prepping not only food but other essentials too so it would be great if you made follow videos on things to have :) I’m in Australia and atm I feel like who knows what the future holds for us it’s pretty crazy and I’d like to be prepared for anything ❤️
This was amazing! Hope you guys can do more vegan prepping content in the future! I'd rather not watch people stock up on SPAM or deer meat but that seems to be a lot of the prepper community 😂
Over here where I live we had a stone flood.And thank God that I always stuck on food my light went off for six days but everything in the freezer I had to throw it away but I had other stuff that I was able to cook on the stove
Don’t forget that dogs can also consume all kinds of human food. You don’t absolutely need to feed them dog food in emergencies. Google what dogs shouldn’t eat.
I add dehydrated veggies to my beans every time I cook them in my iPod. I look at it as vitamins. However, you need a cooking resource in case you don’t have utilities, which I learned this summer building my cabin with no electricity or water. You can do anything on a camp stove or sun oven. Also, learn to grow micro greens and store several pounds of Cole crop, lettuce, and pea sprout seeds. Also, store garden seeds and plant fruit bushes/trees to grow more of your own fruit and veg. Nothing says super food as well as food picked 2 minutes before you eat them. Dehydrated tomatoes are ideal. A year's supply of canned tomatoes would be about 300 cans that’s 25 cases. Where would you put that. Instead 20 pounds of dehydrated which comes in a 2x2 box. I learned to make my own tofu from dried soy beans. I stopped using vegan kibble and began preparing similar food for the pups to my own healthy food. Bam all digestive issues disappeared. Plus, it is a fraction of the cost and takes up less space. Good video!
I would love for you guys to do a meal on the go for travelling series. I am starting a travel job and being plant based, it's a bit daunting how I'm going to make it work lol.
@@whitemagiktiger if anything vegans would be more adapted to surviving off grains, legumes and seeds and other “war time” foods. I think we would do awesome during a food shortage.
Very very informative and right! I have empty 5 gallon water jugs I was like I can fill some of those with regular tap water ( we were in that winter storm here in Texas and I have been through a ice storm when I lived in Kansas) and also buy the regular 5 gallon and we have a filtered water pitcher in the fridge ( I try to not buy bottled water unless I have too and we recycle. My mom for sure said keep them cabinet staples!! Lol legumes, grains rice veggies ( which I could use a few cans here) didn’t realize the craze until recently. I also have a set of grandparents that can items as well lol. I’m always willing to learn.🌺
Great video! Water storage is always a good idea, but the ability to make any water safe and drinkable is paramount. Filtering, treating and distillation are essential when the stored water runs out.
They also make glass water jugs. Our town has an RO system store. So everyone can check around their city for water stores and see if they have an RO system. I think we fill up 8 five gallons for $20!
Glad to see plant based families doing this as well. I see so many that go weekly or daily! I'm not plant based but have enjoyed your videos. Good job on the videos and the start on the preps.
Be careful. I stocked up for the past year only to have to throw it all away yesterday. Bug outbreak showed up and they were instantly everywhere. All my food gone. Yes I frozen some of it first. They even broke holes into Mylar bags.
I'm so happy to come across your channel. We've lost power a few times which I use as a practice drill. I have a solar oven for cooking which I try to use at least once a week to hone my skills. It's awesome for cooking beans and soups. I did realize that I lost access to my meal plans when the WiFi went down. Oops 😬. During the lock down we planted fruit trees, carefully planned with staggered ripening seasons. We're really enjoying the "fruits of our labors" I'm looking forward to future content from you two. Keep up the great work.
About a year or more ago I had a dream. I saw a line of people standing completely across a parking lot. From the door and I couldn't see where the line ended. It reminded me of waiting for commodities for your hunker hunk 4pds of cheese. & powder milk and 2 pound of butter. Then i was moved from the outside scene to the inside .All the sudden the registers disappeared then a buffet came in view. I could see the foods topped a little over the metal pans. Shelves was empty a few screw bottles that looked like a stores brand name. I use to work in year's of keeping buffets full. I even cooked for them. Pretty much everything in 2 seafood restaurants I worked about 5 years. I wanted to work in retails book & music stores. I've mentioned this dream many times before here in TubeLand.And mentioned other places It looked like the bigger chain stores..!
We're plant based and have a few food allergies. The stockpile totes are essential for real y'all. Nutritional yeast and coconut oil with dried herbs. Staples go straight into the totes. Pet's needs are good for a year.
Ok great video. I would have included dried Seaweeds!!!!!! I cannot stress this enough. These are full of minerals especially iodine, try seaweeds if you never have!
So happy to run across your channel! Love that your old dog is vegan too. I used to make my own vegan dog food until my dog was diagnosed with brain cancer. And has been extremely difficult to find anything she will eat😞.
Pertaining to water, there is a device that you can have installed on your roof that that pulls moisture out of the air and stores that moisture as water. Depending on the model you get, you can get between 8 to 20 gallons per day.
Another good tip is to buy organic dehydrated veggies. Amazon sells them and also Natural Grocer stores. I have the dehydrated carrots and red bell peppers. Great for making soups and stews.
Dusty and Erin. This is an excellent Overview. Now, would you take a month of days if possible to go over again the specifics for comfort and security. Where do you get 50 lbs of oats, and; are they rolled? Thank you. love 💘💚💕💕💕💕 (💕Arf)
Just found your video. Love it to see a vegan prepper. All the foods you talked about I eat and have stored. Been vegan for 70+ years. So easy to store these food looking forward watching again and seeing more your videos.
You gave me an idea. I live in Canada and it gets really cold and I get snowed in for a lot of the winter. I usually spend the summers growing my food and preserving for the winter. Actually right now I am pressure canning some chick peas. I love to have some jars on the pantry shelf for spur of the moment foods like hummus etc. And, the taste is sooo much better than buying a tin. I was thinking I might dehydrate some greens to make my own green powder. I will also be dehydrating apples from my trees in the fall, and if the fruit trees don’t do well, I will grab a bushel at the farmers market. I love those giant bags of beans you can buy down there. I have never seen them that big in my town. ❤
Hey, thanks for the video, we do need to seriously stock up. You can also do vacuum sealing for long-term storage of your grains, pasta, rice almost anything... also you can place the dried peas n beans n rice in the oven at the lowest temperature for about 2 to 4 hours this will kill any bug eggs allow to completely cool, you can then vacuum seal or use mylar bag with oxygen absorbers, seal and store. I use air tight containers and 5gl buckets
Thanks so much I really needed a video like this to show me how to stock up healthy:) I greatly appreciate it, many blessings to you, your beautiful wife and adorable babies, Max and Olivia always put a smile on my face 💖💖💖
Freeze grains, legumes, flours for nine days to kill insect eggs. Then package for storage. The recommended way is a food grade bucket, Mylar bag, oxygen absorber, then iron the Mylar bag sealed. Provident Prepper & many other preppers do TH-cams on this topic. Canadian Prepper & City Prepping are good to. Just look through their videos for for storage. Alaskan Granny is good & knowledgeable. Glass jars are good too.
@@EatMoveRest One other important thing: Regarding the Instant Pot. You need a solar generator in case you have no power. There are several at different price points. The other thing is a solar oven that’s not so instant, but will work as long as you have sun.
A word of caution for soy, thyroid patients should avoid it. Soy can adversely affect thyroid. Also if budget allows invest in a freeze dryer. I can, dehydrate, freeze and now freeze dry my food. I also garden organically and recommend adding garden seeds to your preps.Home food preservation is a skill that brings peace of mind. A container garden even where space is limited can provide fresh options. Great info
Also a small camping filter in case of no water, and a small propane stove to be able to cook if no electricity, candles,and all the products you use on a daily basis...
Thank you for a great video. Being vegan, too, food preparedness is something I have struggled with. I, too, recommend Azure Standard for ordering some of your bulk foods. Do price comparisons though. A great place to learn about storing your foods safely and protecting them from bugs, etc. I highly recommend RoseRed Homestead Channel here on TH-cam. She is not vegan, but she has some great information. (She is also a prepper.) Another great channel with good information is Rain Country. I am sure there are more, but these are two that I have come across and learned a lot from even though I have been prepping for decades (but not vegan LOL).
Great Haul. You’ve got some of my favorites! You also got a few things I’ve never seen before. I’m gonna keep my eyes out for them next time I shop. I make vegan cooking,hauls,DIY,ect. videos. As a fellow you tube creator I appreciate all the effort you put into your content! I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Great video and you both look terrifically healthy :-) for sustainability at the very least consider getting a dehydrator. You can dehydrate fruits and vegetables that will last a lot longer and fresh. A freeze dryer does an even better job of making food last much longer than dehydrated foods but it’s a tremendous expense. Also consider a vacuum sealer or a break bleeder that could pump the air out of Mason jars. Oxygen free environments prolong the shelflife of many items. Even better would be adding oxygen absorbers to the vacuum sealed jars, Mylar bags or vacuum sealer bags. It may seem they do the same thing but they do different things both to sustain in the life of your food. Many people put grains and food items in my Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers and seal them with an iron which again prolonges the life expectancy of food. Lastly, I assume you know about the high arsenic levels in all rice from out of the country and from the south of the United States. I only buy my rice from Lundberg which is from California and they have the least amount of arsenic of any rice purchasable. I purchase organic but that’s just me. Just some things for you to consider.
Great job on the vid!! Yes- let’s all share ideas to help each other: dried seaweed for greens, dried mushrooms, molasses, beet powder 🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍
Another great video!! Thank you for waking me up to the idea of prepping!! I have never given it much thought until now!! Thanks for the great tips from everyone in this comment section!!

I love seeing this for plant based. It is 👍 you can also make your own dried potatoes with a dehydrator. If you cook and squish it flat on a mat then dry it and grind you have powdered potatoes.
For canning a ball canning book " the blue book" is like a canning and preserving bible. You can also make tofu from dried soy beans. Soak, blend, put through but milk bag, heat at a summer stirring constantly for 20 mins, then cut off the heat and add in an acid like vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit till it cools and then put curd in but milk bag and press the more you press the firmer the end product is. Store in cold water for 3 days

This is great! It’s hard to find vegan prepper videos and this one is great. Thank you!
You did a FANTASTIC job on this video! I, too, am a prepper, and I think it is so awesome that you are using your channel to encourage others to be prepared. Such great info!
Same
LOVE this one!!! We've been thinking about shortage prep too so thank you for sharing what you're doing and all the back ground info on the different items and shelf life :)
Prepping in Ireland too. Thank you for this x ps let’s also project our consciousness into new earth where humanity is unified, free, healthy & abundant. We are powerful beyond belief ⭐️ 🌈 🌎 🌟 ☮️
I get very sick from soy. Have lots of food allergies. So stocking up on what I can eat. It is hard to find things sometimes. But everytime I go out I pick something up. I am sending your video to my son. Been sending lots of prepper videos.
we buy organic soy beans in bulk from amazon as well as the oats.. like you guys. and after hearing about soy shortages we purchased a soy milk maker. it is so easy to use. drop in dry soy beans, add water then push a button. It even cooks the milk and it beeps when done. now we make our own fresh at home. you can make any kind of milk in it as well as both oatmilk and even oatmeal.
Great video, thanks. Let's all get prepped. We may never lose power and food for long but it sure makes you feel good to develop more self-sufficiency.
Yes... when all possible try to grow your own produce. And if you have a dehydrator dehydrate as much veggies and fruits as possible.
Stay safe people.
Hey guys if you're putting your food in buckets food safe of course, add several bay leaves they apparently keep bugs out, Stay safe God bless
God bliss you too
Love this video thank you!!! I’ve been thinking of prepping not only food but other essentials too so it would be great if you made follow videos on things to have :) I’m in Australia and atm I feel like who knows what the future holds for us it’s pretty crazy and I’d like to be prepared for anything ❤️
This was amazing! Hope you guys can do more vegan prepping content in the future! I'd rather not watch people stock up on SPAM or deer meat but that seems to be a lot of the prepper community 😂
We will!
Thank you for remembering Beau🥰🐾💙
Over here where I live we had a stone flood.And thank God that I always stuck on food my light went off for six days but everything in the freezer I had to throw it away but I had other stuff that I was able to cook on the stove
This video was SO helpful! Such a good idea to stock up on pet food too, that totally slipped my mind! Thank you for all this information!
Don’t forget that dogs can also consume all kinds of human food. You don’t absolutely need to feed them dog food in emergencies. Google what dogs shouldn’t eat.
I add dehydrated veggies to my beans every time I cook them in my iPod. I look at it as vitamins. However, you need a cooking resource in case you don’t have utilities, which I learned this summer building my cabin with no electricity or water. You can do anything on a camp stove or sun oven. Also, learn to grow micro greens and store several pounds of Cole crop, lettuce, and pea sprout seeds. Also, store garden seeds and plant fruit bushes/trees to grow more of your own fruit and veg. Nothing says super food as well as food picked 2 minutes before you eat them. Dehydrated tomatoes are ideal. A year's supply of canned tomatoes would be about 300 cans that’s 25 cases. Where would you put that. Instead 20 pounds of dehydrated which comes in a 2x2 box. I learned to make my own tofu from dried soy beans. I stopped using vegan kibble and began preparing similar food for the pups to my own healthy food. Bam all digestive issues disappeared. Plus, it is a fraction of the cost and takes up less space. Good video!
Thanks Suz
Definitely loved this, glad people are pointing out the obvious of the things that will come.
I would love for you guys to do a meal on the go for travelling series. I am starting a travel job and being plant based, it's a bit daunting how I'm going to make it work lol.
Thank you for doing this. It is nice to see vegan "prepping."
1000% agree! My kinda people!
I agree
@@whitemagiktiger if anything vegans would be more adapted to surviving off grains, legumes and seeds and other “war time” foods. I think we would do awesome during a food shortage.
Really happy you mentioned growing your own food. Even growing alittle bit will do wonders.
Great video. Vote for constitutionalists and our world will know freedom again.
Love it, very important subject many people just ignore! Thanks for keeping it real!
Very very informative and right! I have empty 5 gallon water jugs I was like I can fill some of those with regular tap water ( we were in that winter storm here in Texas and I have been through a ice storm when I lived in Kansas) and also buy the regular 5 gallon and we have a filtered water pitcher in the fridge ( I try to not buy bottled water unless I have too and we recycle. My mom for sure said keep them cabinet staples!! Lol legumes, grains rice veggies ( which I could use a few cans here) didn’t realize the craze until recently. I also have a set of grandparents that can items as well lol. I’m always willing to learn.🌺
Great video! Water storage is always a good idea, but the ability to make any water safe and drinkable is paramount. Filtering, treating and distillation are essential when the stored water runs out.
So true!
They also make glass water jugs. Our town has an RO system store. So everyone can check around their city for water stores and see if they have an RO system.
I think we fill up 8 five gallons for $20!
My advice is leave the suburbs and move to the county with a well on the property and fruit trees. Blessings to your family!
Glad to see plant based families doing this as well. I see so many that go weekly or daily! I'm not plant based but have enjoyed your videos. Good job on the videos and the start on the preps.
Thanks so much!
this is exactly the kind of info I've been looking for. and the comments are gold. thank you!!
I love storing my dried goods in the big Glass jars!!
Totally
Be careful. I stocked up for the past year only to have to throw it all away yesterday. Bug outbreak showed up and they were instantly everywhere. All my food gone. Yes I frozen some of it first. They even broke holes into Mylar bags.
I'm so happy to come across your channel. We've lost power a few times which I use as a practice drill. I have a solar oven for cooking which I try to use at least once a week to hone my skills. It's awesome for cooking beans and soups. I did realize that I lost access to my meal plans when the WiFi went down. Oops 😬. During the lock down we planted fruit trees, carefully planned with staggered ripening seasons. We're really enjoying the "fruits of our labors"
I'm looking forward to future content from you two. Keep up the great work.
It's time to know the LORD Jesus Christ, In Him you can find peace in all things.

Holla amen!
@@EatMoveRest read book of revelation; see the incredible correlation between the vx cine pport and Rev. 13:16!!! r u rapture ready!!!
A lot of instant pots have a preserving option otherwise you can use the more traditional pressure cooker
Love this, I am so glad to see vegan preppers
About a year or more ago I had a dream. I saw a line of people standing completely across a parking lot. From the door and I couldn't see where the line ended. It reminded me of waiting for commodities for your hunker hunk 4pds of cheese. & powder milk and 2 pound of butter. Then i was moved from the outside scene to the inside .All the sudden the registers disappeared then a buffet came in view. I could see the foods topped a little over the metal pans. Shelves was empty a few screw bottles that looked like a stores brand name. I use to work in year's of keeping buffets full. I even cooked for them. Pretty much everything in 2 seafood restaurants I worked about 5 years. I wanted to work in retails book & music stores. I've mentioned this dream many times before here in TubeLand.And mentioned other places It looked like the bigger chain stores..!
We're plant based and have a few food allergies. The stockpile totes are essential for real y'all. Nutritional yeast and coconut oil with dried herbs. Staples go straight into the totes. Pet's needs are good for a year.

You should look into seed storage for growing your own fresh greens!
Ok great video. I would have included dried Seaweeds!!!!!!
I cannot stress this enough. These are full of minerals especially iodine, try seaweeds if you never have!
Good one thanks!
My favorite prepper video by far! Love this! Thanks guys! ❤️❤️❤️
Always have at least two can openers on hand, in case one breaks. I suck at can openers and always break mine….
Enjoyed this video a lot, practical advice that does not have to cost the earth to do.
So happy to run across your channel! Love that your old dog is vegan too. I used to make my own vegan dog food until my dog was diagnosed with brain cancer. And has been extremely difficult to find anything she will eat😞.
Im so sorry!
I added a couple large containers of powdered peanut butter - great video!
Pertaining to water, there is a device that you can have installed on your roof that that pulls moisture out of the air and stores that moisture as water. Depending on the model you get, you can get between 8 to 20 gallons per day.
Thats awesome, what's it called?
Lots of counties have classes on canning. You may need to call around and this may be seasonal. Worth exploring.
First time on your channel...tons of great information and so well presented! Thank you, now to binge watch all your other videos!
Glad you like them! Make sure to subscribe and share our channel with friends and fam! Thanks Linda!
Another good tip is to buy organic dehydrated veggies. Amazon sells them and also Natural Grocer stores. I have the dehydrated carrots and red bell peppers. Great for making soups and stews.
Great idea thanks!!
Dusty and Erin. This is an excellent Overview. Now, would you take a month of days if possible to go over again the specifics for comfort and security. Where do you get 50 lbs of oats, and; are they rolled? Thank you. love 💘💚💕💕💕💕 (💕Arf)
Just found your video. Love it to see a vegan prepper. All the foods you talked about I eat and have stored.
Been vegan for 70+ years. So easy to store these food looking forward watching again and seeing more your videos.
So glad you’re enjoying our content!! More to come!☺️🙏
You gave me an idea. I live in Canada and it gets really cold and I get snowed in for a lot of the winter. I usually spend the summers growing my food and preserving for the winter. Actually right now I am pressure canning some chick peas. I love to have some jars on the pantry shelf for spur of the moment foods like hummus etc. And, the taste is sooo much better than buying a tin. I was thinking I might dehydrate some greens to make my own green powder. I will also be dehydrating apples from my trees in the fall, and if the fruit trees don’t do well, I will grab a bushel at the farmers market. I love those giant bags of beans you can buy down there. I have never seen them that big in my town. ❤
Good luck!
What great info! Thank you for putting this out 🙏❤️🙌👍
Hey, thanks for the video, we do need to seriously stock up. You can also do vacuum sealing for long-term storage of your grains, pasta, rice almost anything... also you can place the dried peas n beans n rice in the oven at the lowest temperature for about 2 to 4 hours this will kill any bug eggs allow to completely cool, you can then vacuum seal or use mylar bag with oxygen absorbers, seal and store. I use air tight containers and 5gl buckets
For sure
Thanks so much I really needed a video like this to show me how to stock up healthy:) I greatly appreciate it, many blessings to you, your beautiful wife and adorable babies, Max and Olivia always put a smile on my face 💖💖💖
Thank you!!
For fresh veg, I plan to grow lots of spouts 👍
totally
I’m glad you guys have the insight to do this! Good for you! 👌🏼
We are feeling so much better being prepared!
Freeze grains, legumes, flours for nine days to kill insect eggs. Then package for storage. The recommended way is a food grade bucket, Mylar bag, oxygen absorber, then iron the Mylar bag sealed. Provident Prepper & many other preppers do TH-cams on this topic. Canadian Prepper & City Prepping are good to. Just look through their videos for for storage. Alaskan Granny is good & knowledgeable.
Glass jars are good too.
Thanks Sid!
@@EatMoveRest One other important thing: Regarding the Instant Pot. You need a solar generator in case you have no power. There are several at different price points. The other thing is a solar oven that’s not so instant, but will work as long as you have sun.
A word of caution for soy, thyroid patients should avoid it. Soy can adversely affect thyroid. Also if budget allows invest in a freeze dryer. I can, dehydrate, freeze and now freeze dry my food. I also garden organically and recommend adding garden seeds to your preps.Home food preservation is a skill that brings peace of mind. A container garden even where space is limited can provide fresh options. Great info
Helpful info!
I recommend Rose Red Homestead channel to learn canning and dehydration storage techniques
Also a small camping filter in case of no water, and a small propane stove to be able to cook if no electricity, candles,and all the products you use on a daily basis...
Prepping with you! Also can relate to freaking out about possible shortages of organic fresh produce. Feels good to prepare a little bit at a time🍑💪
Definitely with you on that!
Look into the electric canner, they are different from a insta pot. Watch youtube for info
Thank you for a great video. Being vegan, too, food preparedness is something I have struggled with. I, too, recommend Azure Standard for ordering some of your bulk foods. Do price comparisons though. A great place to learn about storing your foods safely and protecting them from bugs, etc. I highly recommend RoseRed Homestead Channel here on TH-cam. She is not vegan, but she has some great information. (She is also a prepper.) Another great channel with good information is Rain Country. I am sure there are more, but these are two that I have come across and learned a lot from even though I have been prepping for decades (but not vegan LOL).
AWESOME INFORMATION!!
Thank You.....
Great Haul. You’ve got some of my favorites! You also got a few things I’ve never seen before. I’m gonna keep my eyes out for them next time I shop. I make vegan cooking,hauls,DIY,ect. videos. As a fellow you tube creator I appreciate all the effort you put into your content! I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Yay! Thank you!
This is the video I've been needing! Thank you!
Nice job! I got some great ideas from your video - thank you! ✨🌺
I am appreciating the ideas💡...
Thank you!
please add that you can learn thermal cooking in case there is no power or fuel :)
Great video and you both look terrifically healthy :-) for sustainability at the very least consider getting a dehydrator. You can dehydrate fruits and vegetables that will last a lot longer and fresh. A freeze dryer does an even better job of making food last much longer than dehydrated foods but it’s a tremendous expense. Also consider a vacuum sealer or a break bleeder that could pump the air out of Mason jars. Oxygen free environments prolong the shelflife of many items. Even better would be adding oxygen absorbers to the vacuum sealed jars, Mylar bags or vacuum sealer bags. It may seem they do the same thing but they do different things both to sustain in the life of your food. Many people put grains and food items in my Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers and seal them with an iron which again prolonges the life expectancy of food. Lastly, I assume you know about the high arsenic levels in all rice from out of the country and from the south of the United States. I only buy my rice from Lundberg which is from California and they have the least amount of arsenic of any rice purchasable. I purchase organic but that’s just me. Just some things for you to consider.
Thanks a million! This is all such invaluable information, we really appreciate it!☺️🙏🙏🙏
I live to give :-). Good luck.
Great job on the vid!! Yes- let’s all share ideas to help each other: dried seaweed for greens, dried mushrooms, molasses, beet powder
🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍
So glad you did this video! I was wondering what you did during the food shortages!! 🙌🏼. Love it!! You should check out freeze dryers!!
Another consideration is if power grid is down. Good to get propane cooker etc as well as goods that can be consumed without cooking.
We have one!
Awesome video guys!!! Thanks so much
Where did Dusty get a 50 pound bag of oats?
Loved the video. Huge wake up call. We all need to start preparing for a food shortage. 😩
Check the description of this video for our Bulk Amazon shopping list! Here’s the link: amzn.to/3Er1Pi5
I followed their link and do not see oats. Am I overlooking it ?
Another great video!! Thank you for waking me up to the idea of prepping!! I have never given it much thought until now!! Thanks for the great tips from everyone in this comment section!!
For long term storage, white rice lasts much longer than brown rice. Just a heads up.
Great video, thanks for the information 😉
Don’t forget to stock up on spices and salt
Love this video! Thank you for helping me to make my next Costco list
You’re so welcome!
Thank u for this very interesting an great information. My husband noted how healthy you look can you do more what you eat in a day and week please.
Absolutely!
Loved this video!!! My husband and I eat 95% vegan diet and fish on the side so I can have during pregnancy!! But this video was awesome thank you so much for sharing!!❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed it!
There's a great channel Homestead Tessie... She teaches how to can and preserve lots of food items..I can't recommend her enough.. Hope that helps!
Very informative❤
glad you found it helpful!
