Long Term Food Storage Basics: Off Grid Pantry
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- Starting a long term food storage pantry can be confusing. Preppers focus on long term storage, homesteaders focus on caning and storing their spoils.
What should you do for your own pantry needs? Here on our homestead we have a dual purpose off grid pantry. Long term storage is good, but we also focus on daily needs. I want to save money, I dont want to go to the store every couple days, and I want healthy food items.
Building my pantry to serve my needs took many years. But I have both long term and short term. Want to save money and have a usable pantry. See what I have to say about that today!

I was raised by my Grandmother and Great grandmother. They went through the depression and taught me a lot. I watched them can and dehydrate with little to nothing. I've been either Prepping or hoarding food and useable items for as long as I can remember. My kids and husband thought I was a little off, until the prepping movement hit. Now they think I was ahead of my time. My how they change their minds when something is " IN ". God Bless you and your family. Keep making the videos. Thanks!
Orris Holt ditto this, my family taught me cooking from scratch and preserving/storage from a very young age. They also taught us basic skills (sewing fishing gardening etc)
I really like the shelves behind you. Jars not on top of jars, and a safety line to keep stuff from falling off.
awesome contrast of style and homestead survival.
I like your videos. I love canning too. I try to get my friends and family on board but they just laugh at me. That is until Christmas time and the jam gets handed out! I believe that people who aren't preppers or homesteaders can benefit tremendously from canning. The world is just too fast for some people I guess. Thanks for the videos.
I love seeing your pantry! Seriously it makes me giddy to see all those home canned goodies. I have been canning and preserving for about 3 or 4 years now and I love it. I'm so addicted to it. The best part for me though, is when I find a good deal from the farmers market and come home with several hundred (yes hundred!) pounds of fresh produce and my whole family gets involved in cleaning, chopping, stuffing jars, putting on lids, etc... It's so fun to see how proud my guys all are of the work we did. And the "ping" is probably my favorite sound in the world. I love it! lol. I'm sure you understand this, but other people think I'm a little nutty.
Very nice food storage!
PLEASE MORE VIDEOS ON THIS STUFF! CANNING,DRYING,ECT. MUCH LOVE.
+TelepathicT Will keep it coming!!
Being a fellow prepper channel, I agree with you so much! It is very important to take practical steps to get prepared in case of an emergency or catastrophic event! GREAT Practical steps! Thanks!
Thank You for making this video. You're such a pleasant person to listen to. Energetic, Informative and you are truely motivating. Thank You again!
Oh Starry, I just love your videos, they make me smile and feel great. I cant wait till the next one comes out. God bless you and Mr. Hilder.
+Rosemary Wascher Oh how sweet..thank you!!!
Just found your channel as I'm trying to get back on track with food storage. I love your upbeat, positive self and scriptures.
great points.
I'm still watching starry.god bless you and mr.hilder
Im glad your still watching!! God Bless
Thank you . I am canning again.
I absolutely love your pantry videos. The area I am most interested in is your meat storage. I can't tell you how many pounds of meat I have lost due to improper packaging or not knowing that the freezer died. To be able to store meat without refrigeration is truly a lost art in America. Canning, smoking or some other way of persevering meat for long periods of time can make a big difference in your daily diet.
You are a very sweet person. Sharing your knowledge and your bounty.
Living with a pantry helped me afford to stay home to raise my children. We ate mostly grains and beans...still do.
Thank you so much for this video. What a blessing it is to be able to have you give us a virtual tour of your pantry with all your experiences and invaluable knowledge gained over the years. Thank you, thank you!
Great video Starry,God bless you and Mr.Hilder. Thanks for another wonderful Video!!!
Please do not forget to make videos on how you preapere for spring gardening. Im becoming addicted to your videos.
+maricruz jaimes Will do!!
I like your prepping ideas. I'm not found of prepping for the end of the world but for power outages or hurricanes it just makes sense.
A pantry is one you use. Stock up on one month of food. Some stuff last longer than a month so stock up on it. Flour gets weevils. So into the freezer. Also can go in frig. Noodles can be frozen so I heard. Canning is a good idea and it last a long time. Need to learn to can. Also we have freeze dried food for emergency. Rotating. Beans can be stored a long time. Just got to keep food air tight so weevils and mice won't be able to get in. Had a mouse problem once and hard to get rid of them. Nice video tho.
Wow.. I one day woke up and decided that it was time. Over time I have gathered a plethora of varied things ;-) Thanks for the video.
Awww Starry I will miss you ❤
Thank you, you answered my previous question in this video, Take care and keep all the fun and informative videos coming.
What a wonderful video - thank you for your honesty and education for us "newbies" lol. I am completely in love with your channel because of your sense of humor and enthusiasm while your teaching us something that you've either learned or failed on. Once again, thanks for a great vlog and God Bless!
+Country Karen Thank you for you kind words...I am glad you are enjoying the videos and learning most of all!! God Bless
We do a usable pantry as well and it save so much money. Thanks for sharing.
You are just precious! Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it. Blessings to you and your family!
just getting into this. really wonderful stuff. I'm going to watch all of you. Thank you very much.
All of the color behind u is lovely....and handmade AWESOME
Thanks for sharing this. You’re so friendly.
I would love to see a video on seed harvest/collection procedures if you use that method. Thank you for all your videos!
+Keto Overhaul Many have asked...will have to put that on the list:))
I like your enthusiasm, keep up the good work.
Love your pantry. We are moving back stateside this spring are am so ready to start getting a long term pantry going. Thanks for the ideas! God bless
Can you comment on the safety of leaving rings on jars or stacking jars
on top each other. Some preppers say that stacking jars on top each
other or leaving rings on are high risk practices that endanger the seal
vacuum.
I have a self sustainable homestead pantry. With some long term storage. Important and good tips that will serve well. Thank you for sharing and God bless.
+Pam Jones Your so welcomed! Glad your prepared!
Great advice! Great organization of your storage!
+Benja's Uber 1337 Hobby Glad you found it helpful!!!
:)
What a GREAT way to live. I wish I had that type of existence. I DO have a back to Eden mini garden in my front and back yard but not the privacy I wish I had that you do. Thanx and stay safe and off grid. Peess
Great advice Starry, thank you 😊
Great Video!! So good I a sharing on my go to FB page with my fellow preppers/Homesteaders. We also only stock what we eat. We have eliminated all grains and processed foods. So we are at about 85% self sustaining. We pretty much have a Palio diet without nuts. However we do drink our goat/yogurts and make homemade cheese. For me I knew to have a simple life, we needed a simple diet. So aside from dry beans we have No package goods in our home. I think God for our Pastured meat and garden goodies!
Starry. Excellent video as always. Best
+Tom M thank you!!!!:))
I love your videos!! I am new to canning (like I just bought a canner this week) and you have been so helpful! I can't wait to watch your other videos!
I wil have more NEW canning vids coming so keep watching..good for you on the canner purchase!!!
love your info and enthusiasm!
You can use your beans as seeds & grow more too. Along with some of your grains.
Starry I see you have your rings on your jars, at least it looks like it. I have heard some say leave them on then some say take them off. I was curious about you take on this. I too have a sustainable pantry. You are such a breath of fresh air. I look forward to all of your videos. Great job!
Thank you! Good explanation of types of pantries and how to make them work.
Glad to see another video
Just found u and lovin' ur channel, info, enthusiasm & love for our Lord...subscribed & will keep on learning from u. Thank you, my new friend.
Yes I agree, we too are more Homestead type people. I have up to 3 years at a time. Lol even if the stuff hits I want to be healthy and eat fresh.
I love watching your pantry videos! it's giving me great ideas for what kind of pantry we want to build.
Please give us some of the recipes for your black beans!
+Starlene Bortvit They are coming soon!!!
+Starlene Bortvit I was going to make the same request. :-)
Thank you so much for sharing this information with us!
+Kelly Green Your welcome
Hi there Starry, Consider placing a coloured dated label/dot on all preserved goods. Each year a different colour. You will be able to tell at a glance which goods are this year and which need to be used up first.
+David Kynaston excellent idea!! simple fits my style!
My grandma did this and i thought it was normal...And I coming full circle I have a home now that is mine with a basement..woo hoo...And I am disabled and on a special diet...Ready to return to nature and get my food under control.
You and your Husband are cool. Loved the videos you make. I have salmon that I canned myself 6 yrs ago and its still good. God Bless You
thanks. got into all this "prepping" bizz, about a year ago. you ladies on you tube, have a far better, way to explain, and just general outlook about the subject as a whole. I'm trying to get my friends, that share interests in being prepared for hard times, to get on board with food storage, but its hard to convert from "gear head" to "home stead". Some talking points you have will help. Either way thanks for the advice, I'll be keeping up to date from now on.
Love your energy! Great info on food storage. I enjoy seeing what others do....gives me ideas for our own. Thanks a bunch.
Great advice. Thanks, Starry! We are basically just beginning, but the first thing we did a year ago was buy a 2 week supply (for our family of four) of Waterbricks. We also got a one month supply of food in #10 cans from the LDS cannery in our area. From there I just started stocking up on things we use and eat regularly. Canned goods on sale, and grains and beans from Azure Standard that I repackaged in 1/2 gallon jars. I hope this is right!
+Melinda B Wow sounds GREAt..I love azure and also wish we had a LDS cannery close by but dont...your doing good!!
Excellent advice.Thank you.
+Torah Walkers Your so welcome!!!
Thanks Starry!!!
+evangely Roman Your welcome!!
great video thank you for sharing your great items.
Thanks for the info. I am just starting out, and I'm looking forward to checking out your other videos.
It would be so cool to see a video about your daily routine. What you do and what you prepare with all of the rolled oats, millet and beans. Etc, etc... Do you mostly use your beans as meat substitutes in your recipes??? This is truly fascinating to me and probably others as well. Great pantry video!! Thank you for sharing it!! 😄
+mcginniscrew88 I plan on doing some videos on my daily meals using the pantry..so hopefully that will show people what I use!!
Great video that helped a lot. Thanks and God Bless
just found your channel, great video. hope to one day have a food pantry like yours!
thanks for your videos. very informative.
You rock Starry!
+Julia Brochu :))) thank you
One thing to think of, and you say it, is stock what you will eat. Plan the meals you stock up on. I have storage food in 5 ga buckets that will feed four people for 3 days. 10 buckets makes a month of food, more if we shoot some family members early... We test the planning by pulling the oldest bucket and cooking the meals that it was designed to make. The idea is to make meals that can be prepared in one pot. So far, the family has liked the meals. Now if I can get them to help plan out the meals...
Another thing I did was to throw in something they will appreciate. My wife loves Chef Boyardee stuff. I keep a can for each bucket. She is looking forward to the zombie apocalypse.
We have a short term "Plan B". Once we get on some land OUT OF THE CITY, then we will be building a sustainable home.
👍 good info, thanks for sharing
Robbie so you plan your buckets according to meals? rather than according to items (ex my buckets have sugar and flour in them). I beginning my bucket storing. thx!
Hi, Franceska. This is the short term plan. The idea is that we can eat for three days on one bucket. Should we have a problem and only grab one or two buckets each, we have complete meals for three days/per bucket no matter which ones we grab.
Once I have the short term taken care of (on a budget), we will go for longer storage items, like Starry's pantry. Then buckets full of rice, beans, flower etc will be built.
You have to start somewhere. The key is to start. Ya never know when they will come in handy. I know some folks who got hurt financially and their stores helped them over the hump.
Robbie thank you for specifying. that seems like a great idea. do you also gave separate buckets for things as I do? i appreciate your thoughts and response.
Robbie m
Very interested in how you prepare and incorporate your wheat and barley etc. in recipes. Love the videos!
Hi I've not long been storing food and have only just managed to save up the £217.98p to get the small presto pressure canner, we don't have shops that sell them here in the UK, but I would like to say I love you videos and the good advice and how happy you are all the time :) :) :) :)
+New To Prepping Wow! UK shops do not sell canners? Your govt real wants y'all subservient. Glad to see you break the conditioning. $69.97 here at Walmart for 7 quart Presto canner. Being affordable still does not help bring in more people to self-sufficiency. How about your jars and lids? Good luck. I would keep your prepping to yourself since I know y'all aren't allowed guns.
+tuubydude I know we have to order eveything online from America which costs an arm and a leg but it's well worth it :)
+New To Prepping Thank you...and a small presto is still a good thing to have!! Thanks watching from all the way over to the UK!!!
+Starry Hilder I love your videos and how you help people with all your knowledge :)
I grew up helping Mom can foods and did so myself when I moved out on my own. Having sustainable storage allows people to eat from it and and add to it. There are good fruit years and bad fruit years, Also with tomatoes and other foods. In good years can more because never know what the next year would bring. Having the food that are eaten from and adding to in the pantry allows not to have a big change to deal with if getting snowed in for several days to SHTF. Eating what being used to is better than pulling out foods for that purpose. Whole grain foods don't last as long so they need to be rotated more often. The changes after SHTF is that how the food can be cooked, or in a situation that having foods on top of your shelves would be quick. Store bought cans can leak and spoil after a few years. Keep those rotated and check for bad cans. I don't know how long home canned foods last, but they will discolor after a long time. Thanks for sharing your pantry. It is a good one.
Thx!
+usa Welcome!!!:))
lol ! I always wondered why you crouched so much ! Wondered why you didn't extend your tripod , now I know. lol One of the great mysteries of life answered !
+Pocono Prepper haha..i also crouch because I Love getting in close with my viewers..they are like family!!
Great info! Thank you!
very interesting. thx for your upload
been running your playlist hope it helps.. blessings 💖
we love black beans too!!
That's great I heard you say that you are a nurse, I am interested in what you have to say. Thank you.
You are amazing!! Ty for the video
Thank you so much for that! Helped out a lot.
+ana rojas GREAT!!!
100% useful information! Thanks! :-)
Thank you and God Bless you! You are so helpful and informative ;-)
"Sensible Food Storage" on c. Westfall'sWestfall's channel is great. Put out by the LDS (they know their stuff on it) don't worry just food storage info on that show.
very informative and inspirational #pantrygoals!!
Starry my mom not only. Can meat. But also fish. which we loved in winter. They come out like mackeral.
Starry you can grow black beans on the homestead. They are very easy to grow and add nitrogen to the soil. God Bless
+Joe Scott I know but it takes alot..and we eat tons!!! So the buying of bulk is what works..but fun to maybe try some this year!! FRESH ehh!!
Ah yes, however if the SHTF does happen you will at least be versed in their growing. God Bless
Great video thank you 😀
Great video, thank you!
Thanks
I love your videos!
I love your pantry! :)
Keep making these great videos.
+Suzy Q Thank you I will
Love your videos. Very helpful. Can you make a video of your soap making? Your lotions, shampoo, conditioner if you do them too? Really want to learn from you. Be blessed, Starry girl. Shalom
I've noticed that three things are always missing from prepper/homestead pantries: honey, lentils and sauerkraut. Honey will last literally forever (over 4000 yrs+), lentils you can grow in your garden and they only take 20 min to make, and sauerkraut (you and Mr (H)Wilder are from Wisconsin) need I say more?
+Mark Haushahn Im going to do a more detailed vid on MUST have staples..honey is one of them..WE have lots!!
l learned that mistake too... when i was at the cashier, the lady said "this is alot of food" i replied... im helping feeding the homeless... i had to lie because thats when stock piling food was frown upon.
+pandora022428 I know people look at you funny when you buy alot of food..but who cares..they will be hungry and sad when things really do get bad..Its sad we cant educate them all
Hi Starry☺ I enjoy your videos, and am learning to be more self sufficient. I have a garden, make my bread and mainly cook from scratch. I was wondering if you could do a video on your cleaning products. What you wash dishes with, clean your bathroom, floors etc. I already know you make your laundry soap. Thank you and have a nice weekend. p.s. the dogs are stealing the show, you know that right ?! 😏
+Julie Burnett I will add that to my list or maybe mention it in another vid. Im glad your watching and enjoying and YES the dogs really are the stars!! EVEN off camera!!
When you and your husband first met, did you both know that some day you'd like to live off grid? How long did it take you to actually prepare to go off grid before you actually did?
Very helpful. I wouldn't have guessed you're not a meat eater. Go you! Thanks again
Starry, I am from the U.P. Of Michigan originally and your accent is what originally drew me in to your videos. It reminds me of home. My wife and I want to start homesteading and watch your videos all the time! She has been talking about doing some dread locks for a long time. When she saw yours she said I love how Starry does her dreads! She wanted me to ask if you had any tips on how to do just a few and do you have any care tips? Thank you and God Bless! -Wally and Lacey
+wally Rankin Wow its funny people either love the hair or they are very rude. If your wife does dreadlocks know that many people..many..will judge her! I find that alot. Its sad. My hair actually naturally knots. Knots all the time so I have to braid it..then the braids et knotted so I ended up doing some dreds..naturally. How ever they grew is what I have. I dont use anything special...just suave shampoo..hahah cheap! I dont know anything about dreads per say...its just how my hair decided to go!!:))
+Starry Hilder thanks for the advice! God Bless!
good info. thanks
