@@RainCountryHomestead I appreciate your writing me back. I have been hearing a few other people I trust say similar things. What has changed? I dont want to be supportive of a company who doesnt deserve my hard earned...
@@wild-radio7373 I don't think they have changed, it is just the awareness of what they stand for. This will be a matter of choice for the individual depending on one's own beliefs.

I’m a new subbie and I’m sure you’ve answered this question a million times. I’ve been searching the links and I haven’t seen it. Do you mind sharing where you purchase your jars? Did you/spouse make the shelf you keep the jars on in the kitchen? I’m looking for storage ideas. Lastly, Thank You I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL🌿❤️
All I can say is WOW ! I have been a Prepper for years, watching videos here on YT. and I gotta say..... This is the absolute best I have ever seen! I am on a very limited income. Your suggestions for food and your bargain/bulk, finds are very helpful. Thank you sooo much. Good health and Happiness to you, and all of your subscribers. ❤
God put on my heart toget a food Dehydrator and hand held vacuum seal just BEFORE covid19. I care of 2 senior Family members they have been getting Tons of FREE Fruit & Veggies so I have spent the last few months Dehydrating and vacuum sealing this produce for the Certain food shortage that is coming Winter 2020.. God watch over everyone that Reads this.. See you on the Other side be it Earth or that which is beyond
I am also caring for elderly right now and started to prep them incase I can't get over there during Winter. I never knew I was a prepper till Covid-19 hit and I didn't lack because I had a modest for a "prepper" but well stocked pantry. I didn't need to increase my shopping or go hunting for TP or other things, I just had it and was able to decrease being out and about. I did however start buying for a little free food pantry in my area. This is something we can all do for those less prepared and running to find things. I drop off so often I have thought about praying over and adding verses to the food so they understand this is only because of God. I have been blessed to meet people waiting for the food and they are truly in need. Some are just lower middle class and do NOT qualify for food stamps. Some are homeless with mental illness and just thankful to sometimes cook for themselves, and MANY are on food stamps but need things food stamps does NOT provide(such as anything that is non-food but needed). It's not hard to pick up things like dish soap, sponges, reusable Diva cups, pads, hand sanitizer, deodorant, and TP. While you can say these people should be prepared I have talked to some and they need friends to teach them to function because these are typically "generational" struggles where they have NO ONE. The pantry is drained every week. Even churches can make these "little free" give something if you have and take something if you need drop boxes(no management needed). The government is not able to help to the level of need right now. My church is doing a high need item food drive this weekend after seeing the need and also started a community garden that we are about to harvest. 2020 is an opportunity to love in the name of Yeshua (Jesus) like never before. God bless and thank you for the prayers. People with skills in canning/drying would be a blessing to these churches that have started gardens.
I use a magic eraser to remove my sharpie writing on lids, wipes right off, also old lids sanitized in dish washer seal like new as long as not bent. Thanks for all you teach me I learn something every video. God is good, all the time!

Hey Hedi, here's a verse for those who mock preppers Proverbs 27v 12 The prudent see danger and take refuge, But the simple keep going and suffer for it.
@The Pervy Prepper I am glad your not Mormon, because it's false. Can I ask why aren't you Christian? God has only one begotton Son through whom salvation of one's soul comes. Jesus The Christ. We must be born again to enter His heavenly kingdom. We must repent ,turn from our sins and be baptised that we may be saved. Jesus is returning soon. The signs are everywhere. Please consider your eternity! Your soul cannot die. Heaven and hell are real places.
@The Pervy Prepper True God is judge, I am no religion. Religion saves no one it's relationship with Jesus that counts. Jesus says,He that is spiritual judges all things. Work out your salvation with fear and trembling, it's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God. I am under the blood of Christ, saved by grace alone.
As long as we are quoting the Bible, Matthew 6: 25-26 states: ““Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” Matthew 6:25-26 NIV www.bible.com/111/mat.6.25-26.niv

For those who have access to an apple press - cider can become a great sweetener. Take juice and boil it down to 1/7th volume and you have apple cider syrup. Strong flavor for some but you can make your own sweetener from your own apples.
What great timing to find this with a possible 2nd shut down coming this fall. I started caning, dehydrating, gardening, and pickling for the first time this year. I didn’t plant enough seeds to get a great harvest but I tried growing just about everything. It was great practice and I plan on growing indoors this winter. This video came just at the right time for me...so glad I found it today.
It is unlikely I will do another video just like this but have been doing updates all along since this video published showing some of the new things I have been stocking up on such as this one that just published on Thursday: th-cam.com/video/NAyyxmFib2M/w-d-xo.html Or this one here: th-cam.com/video/4uE6SbL-Uyw/w-d-xo.html Or this: th-cam.com/video/xC4nMoVpJk4/w-d-xo.html And this: th-cam.com/video/dye5rKzDyT4/w-d-xo.html

We ran out of “fresh” almond milk. I did find the box version back in our pantry although it was over 5 years old. It was perfect. It might have lost some nutrients but very drinkable
I find it best to stock up on the almonds and other nuts I like to make nut milks from and just make the milk fresh that way there is no need for added ingredients, you know exactly what is in it and make it from whatever nuts or seeds you want (or blends), and it is less expensive.
@@RainCountryHomestead There is another way to make almond milk which is basically zero waste and makes it stretch further. I have not seen anyone mention this on TH-cam, but all you need to do is pop off the skins after a long soak (pref. 12 hours, depending on the almonds). Throw out the skins but KEEP the rest and do not use a nutmilk bag: just blend on high and liquefy. I end up adding more water to the results because from the same amount of almonds I used to use (which is 1/4 cup almonds to 3 1/2-4 cups pure water) I end up adding up to 2 cups more water and mix in at the end. I barely ever notice the liquefied fiber, and end up with 2 more cups almond milk for "free"!
I just found your channel. And already I'm in love with your content! I pray God blesses you for helping us and giving us all this wonderful information that you've had and learned. On a funny note, when you mentioned catnip my little fuzzy fur babys ears perked up and started looking around for it. 🤣🤣🤣 Okay going back to binge watching your videos. ☺️
All I can say after watching 6 of your vids is “ you must have a semi trailer full of canning jars”. Ha! I am learning soooooo much from you and your knowledge is simply amazing to me. I feel blessed having found your channel.
We have been blessed through the years finding good deals on jars second hand. Though we have bought a good amount of them new, I would say most of them were either given to use from those who once used to can or we found them at garage sales for a great price.
Love your videos and how much information you provide! City girl with a country heart has been watching your videos consistently! God bless you and yours !
Heidi, I’m catching this video right now. I see that you like to make your own cocoa chocolate treats. I know that you also like spice. Have you ever tried chocolate with spice candy. I personally love it. Don’t eat it often. It’s a special treat. Peace and blessings. Cindy
Yes it does take a lot of time, especially with these kinds. I still had to put all that stuff away again! haha! I appreciate you recognizing the work involved!
Wow I am so stoked to find your channel!! I recently made a comment about how I'm excited to follow along on your herbal videos, and now I'm learning youre a fellow prepper! THANK YOU! for shaing your incredible wisdom.
Hi Heidi, What a great video!! And I love how you mentioned “food fatigue”. How right you are to stock up on a variety of foods that your family likes. And you really opened my eyes to something...ordering online from Costco! I am embarrassed to say that I never thought of that!! What a great idea. We have about an hour drive to our Costco, so that would be a nice time saver. And I was so happy to see you mention stocking up on noodles. You are so right...they can last a long time! Something that really intrigued me was the powdered milk you store. I am going to investigate that. It looked like a really great quality. My mother always stored powdered milk but it is a habit I have fallen away from. Thank you for the reminder!! As always, another great video!!! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Our Costco is only a bit farther than yours at 75 minutes at least. The online store does not carry everything and some perishable things are not available to us as they have to be shipped in one day and we are too far for that but there are a good many things that they do carry that I commonly stock up on. Thanks Mary!
My husband is so smart. He figured out a way to make my brake bleeder work with the mason jar sealing tube! I was just holding the tip onto the sealer, but my hands are weak, and when I would rest, shift a bit, or try and switch hands, it would come off and I’d have to start over. He figured out that with the brake bleeder KIT that we got, the attachments that come with it fit perfectly with the Food Saver tube! I don't know how to attach pics so you can see how we did it, but if you get the kit and fiddle with the attachment pieces, you'll figure it out. Now I can rest, switch hands, or whatever, and it still works amazingly well. Hope this helps others!
You are the only the second person I've ever seen that uses a brake bleeder to vacuum seal, that's what I use as well. I think it's an important tool because it didn't require electricity. Great video, thanks so much!
i found your channel again after a snafu with you-tube, didnt know cost co would ship that good to know as i like to spread my money around/share with diffrent stores,, good tip on buying in bulk,, been trying to inform family of that for years ,,, they still dont listen,,.. be blessed and safe
Thank you for the video! It has got me to thinking of more things I need to store. I was making almost nothing for awhile but I had stuffed my freezer and had a whole lot of pantry items so it got us through with buying very little food. Beautiful by prepared for whatever is definitely a good idea.
Very informative video. Thank you. I have had noodles just put in jars and not sealed, that lasted for several years, so sealing should do even better. You made me want figs. LOL. I had to go and order some.
Amen. We have always done canning, dehydrating and other means of storage. It’s just better food and it’s a time saver. Great information. Stay safe! - Tom “Outdoors and Country Living”.
New friend here. Love your channel and videos. Very informative. Looking forward to learning more from you in these trying times. GOD bless us everyone
Wow...this just popped up in my feed. Teaching how to, and urging food storage, one month before the "thing" hit. That had to be prompting from the Lord!
Hi Heidi, great minds think alike. I appreciate the mention on canning butter. You have a lot of great tips for stocking up. Your pantry is well stocked.
Loved it! So glad you found the monk fruit. Hubby is diabetic so I'm always trying new things to make his life as normal as possible. I'll be going thru your link! This was a great check list...Thanks!
The food grade buckets with gamma lids are great too. I live next to a canal in the city and rats and other critters can be a problem. I use them for dry goods, oatmeal, pasta, etc.
Hi Heidi, Another great and very informative video! I just wanted to chime in about fig trees. I am in zone 6 and my fig trees usually bear fruit the first or second year depending on how old they are when I plant them. I guess it would also depend on the variety but I find that fig trees bear fruit much quicker than most other fruit bearing trees. Thanks again. I am making my list and adding all the good things to my Amazon cart!
Great information. Weed Em and Reap bought a very large bucket of honey from one of their local farmers awhile back and only recently have they gotten to the bottom of it.
Just curious, how long did you have yours before it died? I have had several and the first one lasted 3 years and the rest (each a different model) only lasted two years each. grrr
@@RainCountryHomestead the unit will still do bags, but after only one month quit sealing jars. In all actuality, it never really did well with jars in the first place...
Yeah, mine was always hit and miss when it came to jars. I found heating the lids slightly helped much of the time, but even then would still have some failures
Heidi, I am going to have to go on Costco on line, I have never been to one. I think maybe it is over a hr for us to go to one. Thank you again for another great video on food storage. Thank you so much for giving me more Ideas; as I did not think of some that you talked about. Heidi, we stored noodles in frosting bucket, with those tight lids for 20 years, and no bugs, and still are very good. We have had rice, oats, anything dry in those frosting bucket, that we buy from our bakery. Thank you Heidi, for caring to teach others what they should do.
New subbie, found you from be farms. I like what I saw and then I found this vid. Not only did you link us to loads of info from your channel and out side sources but when you used the brake pump, snagged me! I love the info and your alls down to earth, honest way of thinking. So glad I found you and btw your sewing machine is fab! Thanks for all you share!
I like that you go out of your way to include another communities potential needs into consideration and share with them how they can make things work for them too. I also like that you don't make 'apologies' for whatever you store that may not meet the current 'wisdom's idea of what's good for you'. Some people have to buy 'pasteurized' milk! Some can't grow their own stuff! Check out Costco, prices may be what you need! Just the way it is, store this instead... Good vid, will be checking out some of your other ones!
Heidi as always a wealth of information. Im always over whelmed trying to remember everything you said. I need a note pad. Take notes like back in school. Lolol fantastic info! I need to go further for my lids. I think its the amount of stuff inside. At least thats what u am thinking. Ty again! 🌹🌹💓😊
Heidi, thank you for such an informative video! I absolutely love your videos. I am amazed by all your prepping knowledge. Keep up the good work! You and Patrick have a great Monday!
Green beans are a perfect dog food substitute. My dogs have a job and they get good dog food. If that becomes difficult to find, I have canned green beans for them. And canned milk. Extra fat and protein for a big part of my home security system.

Good morning 🌞 I love your information. I have some but you have given me more ideas 💡 and I just have to rearrange my pantry because I,live in a small cottage and space is limited. Thank you and have a beautiful day .💐👍😻🌺
Having the visuals help but I still forget a couple of things that were right in front of me! I could have easily made this video an hour or more, haha
U can also freeze noodles, beans, & all seasonings. We live in the south so it's told to us to freeze them at least 2hrs before doing whatever ur plans are for them just incase there maybe bugs in the bags. I do freeze powder and brown sugar until I open the bags then I either put them in quart jars or zip lock gallon bags but label them so I know what they are and date them. ALWAYS remember to label and date.

And you really opened my eyes to something...ordering online from Costco! I am embarrassed to say that I never thought of that!! What a great idea. We have about an hour drive to our Costco, so that would be a nice time saver. And I was so happy to see you mention stocking up on noodles. You are so right...they can last a long time! Something that really intrigued me was the powdered milk you store. I am going to investigate that. It looked like a really great quality. My mother always stored powdered milk but it is a habit I have fallen away from. Thank you for the reminder!! As always, another great video!!! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Our Costco is only a bit farther than yours at 75 minutes at least. The online store does not carry everything and some perishable things are not available to us as they have to be shipped in one day and we are too far for that but there are a good many things that they do carry that I commonly stock up on. Thanks Mary!
~~~ My dear friends I just want to thank you because I know your videos are helping so many of us.....GOD'S...LOVE...and ...JOY to both of you.
We really appreciate that Dave! :D
My husband is so smart. He figured out a way to make my brake bleeder work with the mason jar sealing tube! I was just holding the tip onto the sealer, but my hands are weak, and when I would rest, shift a bit, or try and switch hands, it would come off and I’d have to start over. He figured out that with the brake bleeder KIT that we got, the attachments that come with it fit perfectly with the Food Saver tube! I don't know how to attach pics so you can see how we did it, but if you get the kit and fiddle with the attachment pieces, you'll figure it out. Now I can rest, switch hands, or whatever, and it still works amazingly well. Hope this helps others!
Thank you for all your helpful tips.
Excellent video Heidi!!!
I've been preserving and storing food for 7 or 8 years and you just taught me more! I'm excited about that so thank you!!!
I have enjoyed this video so very much..thank you !
You are the only the second person I've ever seen that uses a brake bleeder to vacuum seal, that's what I use as well. I think it's an important tool because it didn't require electricity.
Great video, thanks so much!
I never could get the electric work for me. I love my brake bleeder😊.
I love your channel, God is so good All the time & He brought me to your channel!!

Great video Mrs Rain
Homestead Tessie has a lot of good canning videos, butter is one of them
I love her videos !
Love her ❤️
And Homestead Heart
Thank you for the video! It has got me to thinking of more things I need to store. I was making almost nothing for awhile but I had stuffed my freezer and had a whole lot of pantry items so it got us through with buying very little food. Beautiful by prepared for whatever is definitely a good idea.
Very informative video. Thank you. I have had noodles just put in jars and not sealed, that lasted for several years, so sealing should do even better. You made me want figs. LOL. I had to go and order some.
Amen. We have always done canning, dehydrating and other means of storage. It’s just better food and it’s a time saver. Great information. Stay safe! - Tom “Outdoors and Country Living”.
New friend here. Love your channel and videos. Very informative. Looking forward to learning more from you in these trying times. GOD bless us everyone
Just found you, & sent a link to my kids, your great
Thanks for all your information. I just found you so I’m really going to enjoy learning. Thanks 👵🏻Sally
Excellent advice! So happy I found your site!
Wow...this just popped up in my feed. Teaching how to, and urging food storage, one month before the "thing" hit. That had to be prompting from the Lord!
I get that boxed milk at the Dollar Tree. It’s a hit or miss lately. Just whenever they can get it back in stock.
Hi Heidi, great minds think alike. I appreciate the mention on canning butter. You have a lot of great tips for stocking up. Your pantry is well stocked.
Thank you!
Loved it! So glad you found the monk fruit. Hubby is diabetic so I'm always trying new things to make his life as normal as possible. I'll be going thru your link! This was a great check list...Thanks!
Thanks Donna!
Great video. Lots of important info here.
The food grade buckets with gamma lids are great too. I live next to a canal in the city and rats and other critters can be a problem. I use them for dry goods, oatmeal, pasta, etc.
Mice and rats can eat right through the bucket if they are left long enough! I was shocked!😲☹🙁
Great information, thank you so much Heidi!! You must have thousands of jars...!
Hi Heidi, Another great and very informative video! I just wanted to chime in about fig trees. I am in zone 6 and my fig trees usually bear fruit the first or second year depending on how old they are when I plant them. I guess it would also depend on the variety but I find that fig trees bear fruit much quicker than most other fruit bearing trees. Thanks again. I am making my list and adding all the good things to my Amazon cart!
Thank you so much for all these awesome tips about storing food thank you again for all these awesome tips. Until the next video bye-bye
Thank you! You gave me ideas of items to stock up on that I had never considered.
Great information. Weed Em and Reap bought a very large bucket of honey from one of their local farmers awhile back and only recently have they gotten to the bottom of it.
My food saver quit working so I did your method today. Thanks so much! The brake bleeder works fantastic!
Just curious, how long did you have yours before it died? I have had several and the first one lasted 3 years and the rest (each a different model) only lasted two years each. grrr
@@RainCountryHomestead the unit will still do bags, but after only one month quit sealing jars. In all actuality, it never really did well with jars in the first place...
Yeah, mine was always hit and miss when it came to jars. I found heating the lids slightly helped much of the time, but even then would still have some failures
Heidi,
I am going to have to go on Costco on line, I have never been to one. I think maybe it is over a hr for us to go to one. Thank you again for another great video on food storage. Thank you so much for giving me more Ideas; as I did not think of some that you talked about. Heidi, we stored noodles in frosting bucket, with those tight lids for 20 years, and no bugs, and still are very good. We have had rice, oats, anything dry in those frosting bucket, that we buy from our bakery. Thank you Heidi, for caring to teach others what they should do.
New subbie, found you from be farms. I like what I saw and then I found this vid. Not only did you link us to loads of info from your channel and out side sources but when you used the brake pump, snagged me! I love the info and your alls down to earth, honest way of thinking. So glad I found you and btw your sewing machine is fab! Thanks for all you share!
Welcome and thank you Kathleen!
I am thankful for your sharing of your vast knowledge! I am happy to order products from your affiliate sites!
I appreciate your no-nonsense approach. Very informative. I live in a hurricane area and have worked on building our emergency reserves. Thank you.
Dropping serious knowledge...thank you so much from Southern California.
I like that you go out of your way to include another communities potential needs into consideration and share with them how they can make things work for them too. I also like that you don't make 'apologies' for whatever you store that may not meet the current 'wisdom's idea of what's good for you'. Some people have to buy 'pasteurized' milk! Some can't grow their own stuff! Check out Costco, prices may be what you need! Just the way it is, store this instead... Good vid, will be checking out some of your other ones!
Thank you so much for all that, I truly appreciate it!
Heidi as always a wealth of information. Im always over whelmed trying to remember everything you said. I need a note pad. Take notes like back in school. Lolol fantastic info! I need to go further for my lids. I think its the amount of stuff inside. At least thats what u am thinking. Ty again! 🌹🌹💓😊
Heidi, thank you for such an informative video! I absolutely love your videos. I am amazed by all your prepping knowledge. Keep up the good work! You and Patrick have a great Monday!
Green beans are a perfect dog food substitute. My dogs have a job and they get good dog food. If that becomes difficult to find, I have canned green beans for them. And canned milk. Extra fat and protein for a big part of my home security system.
WOW! First time visitor to your channel. Thank you for all of the great info!
Great information, took notes to have for future reference. Thanks sweet friend for all you share, much blessings
Awesome informative video. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. God Bless Y'all.
I wish I had found this sooner, your prepping is on point! I’m about spent out but wow I’m impressed. Thanks subscribed!!
Thank you!
First time watching and I really enjoyed your show it was very informative, concise, and a good pace. Am looking forward to your next show
Thank you Mary! I truly appreciate that!
WowWee you are one multi-talented and informed lady. You've given me a lot to think about.
Maybe Patrick would consider making a dibber for making planting holes. I sure would like one.
So much great information here. Thank you. I love your channel and all your knowledge you share.
WOW! Packed full of relevant information! Thank you SO MUCH. So easy and clear to follow. What a great Mom and partner you must be. Have subscribed just now. xx
Thank you Christine!
When I vacuum seal pasta in mason jars I insert a clean dry coffee filter in the one inch head space add the lid and vacuum seal the jar.
Why do you insert a coffee filter??
Katleen Sullivan because it prevents moisture buildup it keeps everything dry inside as you vacuum the air out
Good morning 🌞 I love your information. I have some but you have given me more ideas 💡 and I just have to rearrange my pantry because I,live in a small cottage and space is limited. Thank you and have a beautiful day .💐👍😻🌺
There’s so much good information here! Thank you, Heidi. 😃
Thanks Rhonda!
I can't tell you how much this helped me. God bless. New subscriber.
Impressive !! I couldn't cover all these subjects without a white board or some check list to follow. well done !! 😎👍💯🌟🌟
Having the visuals help but I still forget a couple of things that were right in front of me! I could have easily made this video an hour or more, haha
U can also freeze noodles, beans, & all seasonings. We live in the south so it's told to us to freeze them at least 2hrs before doing whatever ur plans are for them just incase there maybe bugs in the bags. I do freeze powder and brown sugar until I open the bags then I either put them in quart jars or zip lock gallon bags but label them so I know what they are and date them. ALWAYS remember to label and date.
Sweet Thank you Very much for this lesson!
