In your food storage put Irish Spring- original, down around the are cut a bar in 3 parts and change out about every 3-4 months
The flat iron is brilliant, I learned the same trick with Mylar bags only we used a clothes iron and a flat piece of wood on the edge of the bucket. Same principle only yours is much easier. Learning new tricks every video you post
Wow thank you that’s amazing.
Thank you for your common sense way of teaching.
You are always welcome
I like those red buckets for the pinto beans, it reminds me of being a little girl at girl scout day camp everyone brought their own bucket like that to sit on and store things inside or sometime you just bring the lid and leave the rest at the campsite during something like sitting on the ground to listen to a speaker
Oh that’s a sweet memory. What a great idea!
Yes I watch all videos
Yeah!! I love to hear that!!
I appreciate your explanation of long term food storage....on most of the channels no one really talks about using their long term. They give the impression it stays on a shelf until the zombies come. I think that is why people buy stocks that they typically don't eat. Obviously, as you mentioned, you have no choice, but while you have a chance buy what your family eats.
Exactly you get me. It could be that we have come from so little. In my brain I can’t understand why I would have a year of food (I don’t have that yet) but why I would and not be able to eat it or have the freshest coming out. Just because you can eat something that is 30 years old, it’s not like you would want to. I’m on a tangent. But just think you eat whatever you eat today and starting tomorrow due to some event you need to switch snd eat food that’s been stored for 30 years! Ummmm no thank you! Lol
Love your organization and info for pantry!
Also, so enjoyed your saying “ anyhoo” LOL
Keep it coming 👏👏👏👏
Lol I am learning how many funny things I say when I edit.
Such a nice pantry set up. I've learned a lot from you todsy. Ty Jessica for sharing this knowledge with me. Be blessed. Love your channel.
Oh wow that’s amazing thank you.
Idea : keep glass can goods closer to FLOOR, floors cooler ( heat rises) and helps against breakage if shelves get bumped!
Ok got it thank you.
Thank you for sharing your tip on using flat irons 😊.
You are smart and caring !
With 1 gallon bag .
I stumbled upon your channel last night and now have watched all your videos. I love everything about it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I hope to see more in the future. Ps. I really do have a life,just sick so was able to watch them all. Lol. Have a fabulous day
Hey thank you! Of course you have a life! I have done the same before! Welcome!!! And I’m beyond blown away!
Love the can rotation system!
Thank you,
We have the same canning system. LOL I love your basement and wish I had one, but we've converted a bedroom into a storage room for now. I pretty much do the same thing as you by sealing my beans and rice in smaller amounts that are more manageable. It just makes more sense. You're coming right along! It's a big project to start over again! God bless and Happy Easter!
Happy Easter! And God bless! Thank you fir the support.
Although I'm from the Caribbean, this is becoming one of my favorite channel to watch. I try to look everyday for your videos. 😍😍😍
Oh my goodness you made my day! Are you from or still in the Caribbean? What part? My husband is such a rancher guy it took years but I got him to go to the Bahamas. And He loved it. We dream of one day having a shared place like with family there. And we want togo for Christmas.
@@modernhomesteadalaska I'm from beautiful Trinidad and Tobago . Also from the famous Maracas Bay side, but I currently live in the Chaguanas area with my son and husband. Come on down.
@@mellissapersad sounds beautiful I’ll look into it.
So many great ideas!
Thank you so much.
There is a recipe for bacon cheese potato soup it's yum. With bacon so high one pack does two makings. I use my blinding wand. Have bread but I want left overs but nope the grandkids want more and everyone. We love bean and bacon and a large can I add a teaspoon of chili powder and kids load it with Ritz crackers. Haven't learned how to make them. But I do enjoy how your family home is coming along.
Thank you so much
LOVED this idea! Are you able to put the link in the description box to the can organizers?
Yes it’s there
@@modernhomesteadalaska thank you 🤗
Hi Jess... I personally consider for myself as long term being 3-5 years. I never buy anything with the intention of putting the it away for many years and in case of emergency. Although I do buy 12 mylar pack box of milk from LDS. I like having various shelf stable dairy options on hand always. I use to only store for the winter as my grandparents did. Working all summer caning,vetc to store through winter into Spring. After the shut down 2 yrs ago I stretched that to a full year of ALL food and supplies for 1+ year... Now the past few months have upped that to 2+ years, LoL. I never store anything I typically don't eat... As the rule goes.... Only store what you eat and eat what you store.
I agree wholly!!! I slowly and building beyond what we have. I remind myself we made this big nice to be able to produce and become more up close and personal with our food. You know growing, hunting fishing raising. So on. So building up a stock is so important.
Hi Jessica my name is Hasina from Newark ca just a tip when you store sugar put couple calves soo ants don’t get in I buy different type of flour n rice I put bags in white trash bags
Thank you for the information
I enjoy watching from West Virginia
I have missed you hello
You really motivated me to get my stores organized. I bought 2 shelving units, then had to add 3 more. Now we know where everything is and how much we have. It has made harvest and canning season so much easier. Thank you 😊.
That’s amazing I’m so happy for you
I love love your pantry!
Love your pantry system. Wish I had a basement to store in. Looking at using a spare bedroom
That’s a great idea. Thank you so very much!
Love seeing your journey. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
I love your short term vs long term storing systems! Wondering if you made the short and long term labels? Love them. They would make a great product to sell online.
Wow thank you. My beautiful neighbor made my short labels. I made the long ones off the Avery site for free. But surly something to look into.
U got a good set up won't have to worry about your family.. Nice basement, don't see them too often.Secret to keeping pure cane sugar (white) in buckets house 1 lb bags of rice with prick holes in the bag. This does not harm the rice and keeps the sugar from hardening. I use Three to four bags per bucket in layers between the sugar. Not tried to bucket brown sugar, keep those in the plastic bags they come in. I have a jar that keeps the brown sugar soft and have heard you can use cut up apple to soften brown sugar.
Raven Laughs yes and the put a pice of bread in the brown sugar if it dies get hard trick also works well
My brown sugar went hard and I just threw in half a hamburger bun in. 3 days later it was great.
Yes exactly I was saying that to someone else. The white bread trick.
Great video.
Thank you!
Just ordered some can organizers!!
Nice they are amazing!
Thank you.
Just joined your page I live in the north east of England and I don't really have a long term stock of food but if you don't mind I find it interesting watching how you do it x
It’s so nice to have you! Thank you for joining us.
Love it! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching
great video
Thank you
Good job getting all of that put away. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! Very much appreciated
Good Morning family 🌅 and Happy Saturday here watching 😊😊
Yeah thank you and welcome to the homestead today!
I have taken to using my long term storage as a back up to my regular food in the kitchen- it's the only way i can keep up with the expiration dates - when i open a long term =i get another one to replace in long term. Now that it's only me, certain things i got tired of eating so i stopped stocking what i no longer eat. Certain things i have on subscription with amazon ,that are delivered monthly, every 3 months, etc.
Right. Those are great ideas.
Hi this is so helpful thanks for all your efforts I have gotten some great ideas from this video and some of your other hauls
Thank you so much I’m recording today 🤞of a couple changes. However it all goes together beautifully. So stick around. We are happy to have you.
I know you have a fantastic thing setup but look into 40 and 60 lb vittle vaults . They sit on shelves or floor and they stack as high as you want just a thought
That’s a neat idea I’ll check it out thank you
From other Alaskans, I notice that they put up bars or use bungee cords across the shelves , especially for the glass jars , to help keep earthquake damage to a minimum. Just saying!
You are so right! In the new basement pantry update. I said that we are ordering like a bungee net to go across all the shelves. And we secured them to the wall also. But you are so right we must protect our stuff
I have to say it again...so inspired
Oh wow you all blow me away every time!
Did you organic cane sugar you can powder sugar and blackstrap and cane sugar makes brown sugar
That’s such a great way todo it. I got some blackstrap for make it myself.
I use bay leaves
That’s such a great trick.
Nice video, very helpful!
WE stockpiled those canned meats..ground beef, shredded meat. Oh my we cannot stand the flavor or texture. I do not know what to do with them. The ground beef with a lot of taco seasoning tastes like taco bell, but we don't like it. Each can at the time cost 7.99. I wish I would have not panicked and only added 1 to my grocery list to trial.
Oh no that’s no good! I agree! Little at a time.
Good strategies. Well thought out plan.
Oh my goodness thank you
Nice job. I want your big labels.
They are so easy to make. But sure helpful
❤️
I can’t post a pic in the comments or I’d show you my FIFO can holders and buckets. Great minds and all that. :)
Wow you can do a link I think. Love to see it. My email is also in the description also Instagram. All areas you can share ideas with us.
The best way to deal with mice and bugs like roaches BAY LEAVES scatter the leaves like leaves falling off a tree just spread and toss them around . I have done this for years I do not have this problem . ,I live in Maryland.
Such a great idea and I have so much of it too! Thank you!
Wow I Like your house.
Thank you so kind!
you guys have alot of food in your costco , we dont have a huge stock like you guys here in USA
Where about are you? We are in Alaska clearly. And everything gets shipped here. Traditionally we run out before the lower 48.
Really nice pantry
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video. I'm learning all about storage. Where do you get food grade plastic bags (not Mylar) that you lined your buckets with?

I get mine from Amazon. Make sure they say food grade no bpa...... all that fun stuff. Thank you for joint us.
Tôi rất vui khi theo dõi video của bạn thân yêu! Bạn làm rất tốt! Chúc ngày của bạn hạnh phúc ❤
Just curious why you don’t put your freezer meats in food saver bags?
We do now. We didn’t have a food saver when I made this video.
I just started watching the channel so I don't know if it every product has already been featured with where to buy it or not or if it will appear later I'm not done with the video, but the rolling can things on the shelf look expensive, could someone make something similar with recycled cardboard
Mix a Table spoon of baking soda and Two of corn meal and our on a flat lid now it will kill the mouse or mice dead and the smell will go away in time if you don't find them all. And piss ant's it's a Table spoon of borax with Two tablespoon of sugar mix place around by by ant's.
Great idea thank you
Love your channel. Just found it. How do you vacuum seal the Mylar bags? I use some Mylar but my vacuum sealer will only seal the bags not vacuum the air out.
Oxygen absorber. And a flat iron. I’ll see what video I do it in.
Where did you get the can holders? They are something I really need.
Bed bath and beyond.

@@modernhomesteadalaska thank you so much
Making brown sugar is really not hard. I use my kitchen aid mixer and it get it mixed quickly
I need too to start. It’s just another simple skill I should add.
@@modernhomesteadalaska Grandma's unsulfured molasses and granulated sugar
@@modernhomesteadalaska it really is easy. Acre homestead has a very good video on it.
Mindy and I love her
@@modernhomesteadalaska me too! She is wonderful.
Where did you get the can storage racks. I have I double metal one I use for soups. I need more they give me more space.
