I love the gardening aspect. I always wondered why the church stressed food storage and gardening so much in the 1960 and 1970’s. I think partly it’s because we needed to develop the skills to pass them on now.
I realized if we didn't do it back then and now- not only would the knowledge be lost, but the manufacturing of jars, lids, dehydrators, and canners would've likely died out
@@cameronchild7102 good point!
I have relied almost entirely on growing food and keeping poultry. I'm working on long term storage of staples.
@@stevebreedlove9760 I found having a years supply helped when we moved due to husband’s promotions. It was great to use for a few months- instead of moving it. It saved money that we could use towers down payments and moving costs. You realize that food storage, wheat, rice, beans, canned foods are okay, but fresh foods are really needed.
Recipe for the smothered burrito beans and rice please!!
Need recipe yes
This is the BEST video I’ve seen on a truly comprehensive approach to long term food storage! Thank you so much! I’m sure it took quite a while to put this all together , so we’ll done🎉
I put all my overflow from the pantry under the king sized bed . I moved the bed away from the wall and placed eight buffet sized aluminum foil pans under . Each pan contains canned or jarred food. I know where it is . As I run out of the item in the kitchen , I go to the bed, pull out the “ drawer” and take what I need. Then I put that on my grocery list. When I buy it , it goes in the same pan. Long term storage is never needed to be used with this system. I’ve done this for 45 years. Kids could never put things under their beds. That space and the top shelf of their closet was mine.!
Love it
It took 3 years for me to get to a year's worth of food. Buying a whole cow really helped. I learned to can and dehydrate. But, with only the two of us now I use a simple method to restock. In fact, I got this off of one of your commenters. I keep a pad of paper near my pantry and write down what I have used and that becomes my basic grocery list. I also shop the caselot sales. I store in a closet in.a spare bedroom and since I have a well insulated garage that is heated and cooled I keep some overflow there.
Loved this episode, bravo !! This was so useful. My prepping has been haphazard and this is going to help me keep things organized. Thank you! ❤
I think regardless of how much food you store, the resupply plan is super important. Gardening in season, animals (6 varieties of meat protein, plus fresh eggs and dairy daily!), foraging, and local trading/purchasing for other fresh produce, are all super key parts of our resupply plan.
Also- Side note for the canned goods, Canada does not allow donating of past date goods to their food banks. Nor can farmers or hunters donate spare meats unless butchered at a government licensed facility approved for resale. Sad, we also dump our excess dairy if farmers pass their quota.
We waste so much food here it’s insane and horrible :(
I forgot about our fat resupply plan.... lards and tallows like our ancestors used
You can pour milk that's gone sour around your tomatoes and other veggies which will give them a lot of calcium. A lack of calcium is what causes blossom end rot on tomatoes.
I so appreciate everything you and your family do. You really set a great example for me, and hopefully others, about caring and sharing. Your videos give so much information and send positive vibes. Thank God for you.
So true! I thought I should stock up on tuna and salmon. Well, I HATE fish. Fortunately, I was able to donate them to the food bank. I also realized I don't need to eat as much as I do. I can easily eat 2 meals per day and be fine. I easily have over a year of food stored, and that is on top of my garden.
Fantastic ideas, thank you so much Provident Preppers! I love Betty's boxes so much. I would tweak it for a larger family to use Rubbermaid or Sterilite totes, mark them Week 1 to Week 52, and pack each tote with one week of food. I love her organization- use up the box/tote, buy the same ingredients by writing it on your shopping list, replace them on the next shopping trip, put the box back and move onto the next box. Automatic rotation and organization of goods. Super smart! 💝
Sounds like a genius idea! I would rotate horse food that way and just never thought about using that method for people food 😅. I kept my stabled horses in green fodder by daily rotation of 10 trays of sprouted pasture seed per horse.
This winter I potted up some of my swiss chard. I chose healthy but not huge plants and put 4 in a large pot, 7 pots in all, that fit into 2 small black cement mixing tubs from my big box store. And put in a south facing window on a folding table. Have tag along parsley in it too. And my potted malabar spinach is climbing on tomato cages in my diningroom.
I always say BWORMS, Beans, Wheat, Oats, Rice, Milk powder, Sweetener. These are the LDS "Big Six". The secret to Kale is cook it. Horrible raw, delicious cooked. Cook the greens in a vegetable soup. Delicious. I think music is also part of feeding the soul. I love that picture of your sacred blessed family. God bless you for having such a wonderful family. We kind of get obsessed with food since it is life. Amazing what we can eat and still survive. Wine is good too.
Yep, take that honey and ferment it! Mead is fantastic and so easy! Add spices like cinnamon and cloves during the fermentation. It's just that simple.
I read that quickly pan frying kale in a tiny bit of olive oil cuts down on the strong taste so I now do this. You then add it to your soup or casserole.
another great vid. I think people don't realize there are many different ways to do this and you have to just start then figure out what works for you. I'm a menu/ingredient/Excel worksheet planner and find that it's perfect for me but my sister is a buy it, keep it, donate it if I don't use it person. whatever...
Thank you, thank you, thank you. And what a beautiful closing message each time…everyone should want to be part of the solution.
I use soda bottles cleaned out with bleach for water storage. I have aerogardens for lettuce radishes tomatoes and herbs.. We have been making dog treats bread ect with sourdough start.
I just watched this for a second time. Now that it's been a year since I moved into my new house and established my pantry, I wanted to make sure that I was on the right track. Seeing this a second time was a nice refresher and gives me some peace of mind that I'm on the right track. Thank you so much so such a great video
I can all year round. If something is a great price I buy and can it.
I remember when I went to camp . They would always have bread, peanut butter and Jelly on the table. Great way to boost protein, fat and calories.
for gardening: i always tell people that you can have an "obvious" food garden, or a completely inobvious one. there are so many edible plants that look like normal landscaping... current bushes (vitamin c) service berry (aka juneberry, gorgeous plants) agastache and stock (edible flowers) even if you have the misfortune to live in an HOA, you CAN grow some edible plants- you just may have to be a bit sneaky
Exactly! Malabar spinach looks like a beautiful ornamental, beets can be hard to identify...
Very thorough, great explanations!
There are actually four types of macronutrients, but not many people seem to know about nucleic acids. They are important and should be included as well.
What a great video!!
Thank you
this was helpful to me, so i am passing it on: i have texture issues with food- like many people- and canned pinto beans are awful to me! (i can eat canned black beans if i rinse them enough) plus when i ate them in resteraunts they tasted ... dirty? just not good to me. so i always thought i hated pinto beans...
until i made them from dry, AND i pre soaked them for a good 10 hours or more, so some of the starches started to convert (basically the seeds start sprouting even if you dont see it) to deal with any gas .
well, now i love pinto beans.
ive been mashing them into things, eating them whole and adding them into soups, and even just serving them as a side dish!
it can REALLY make a difference how you cook some of these things.
Do you mean you soaked for 10 hours, cooked, then dried?
Thank you Ben, Kylene and Jonathan, great video. Happy trails!
A wealth of information!!
My father was a traveling salesman. My mother pretty much supplemented our food needs with garden produce and fish out of the lake. The occasional squirrel or partridge.
I've wondered about eating squirrel. What does it taste like? Do you remember how they were cooked?
I love the spreadsheets too.
Re: Grandpa Ray - canned mixed vegetables can be added to the soups. Cheese! Olive oil.
Fantastic video. I watched it while putting up my freeze dried ground turkey.
Thank you for this great video 👍
This probably the very best explanation I have ever seen on the subject. It’s like you combined the best ideas of the best. Thanks!!!
I just ordered a small pop up greenhouse from Amazon to start a garden this year
Wow, thanks for such a well-thought-out video. A wealth of information.
This was such an excellent video and a great way to look at calculating not only what you need LT, but meal planning for that period of time. I am considering that I may be feeding some other family as well as myself.
My goodness, this was rich! I’m going to listen twice… So in-depth, useful. Thank you!!
Wow! Ben is really growing up.
Loved this video really opened my eyes on where is should start and even better how to start i thank you for this i am going to sit my wife down tomorrow and have her watch this so she understands ....THANK YOU
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing this information.
Kylene, has your new cookbook come out yet? I'm wanting an autographed copy! 🙂
One thing I saw missed in the Vitamin C section that is super common here in Alberta and other parts of Canada is rosehips. Super high vit C!
Also worth mentioning is nutritional yeast. When my kids were dairy free, we used it for cheese flavour, but it is so high in nutrients, it's insane! It's also a dry good, so should keep for a good long time.
The vit b is synthetic added.
@@sanrafaelhoa1363 It is, but you eat it with food, so it's no different than any other supplement
Beans, rice, wheat, expand from there. Get something, better than nothing. Thanks for all your good deeds.
Thank you for showing those experiment results. I'll have to stock up on more protein for the guys. I didn't realize how much they require and I need them strong and healthy. I'm going to try the soup too.
Very good *( have a blessed week
I planted cherry tomatoes in a Grow Box one winter in my south facing bay window as they vined out they blocked nearly 80% of the window and produced a lot to tomatoes. But its a lot to clean up when it moves out side.
I have an apple tree and current bushes and walking onions that pretty much take care of themselves. I plant a garden and container garden. I can. Mostly jam and salsa. I dry can rice and pasta in old pickle and sauce jars.
I made a quick dinner last night from my storage. Canned soup supplemented with frozen tortellini and I opened a box of crackers with a Best Buy date from last summer. Technically 9 months past the date, but are perfectly fine! I have enough tortellini left over to have today as a dinner side. Easy to make a Mac and cheese out of it using powdered cheese with butter and powdered milk I made into drinkable milk in the fridge. I’ve been using the food storage to learn how to use it and if we liked it. I didn’t want to keep buying it if we didn’t like it, but it has been really good! Also I want to top off my cracker storage and I know what to get that tastes ok after the date. That’s also good to know because I have opened others that were not good. I appreciate your information Kylene! It’s really helped me to tackle a lot of aspects of preparation the past couple of years.
Proteins and fats very important! But I went on a low (not zero) carb menu in October, In less then five months I am down 15% in body weight. I still need 7 more pound to loose. Carb are important for a working boy.
Learn your edible wild plants. Be open to new ideas. Just this week I saw pole bean leaves used as a wrap like mini cabbage rolls. Green leaves of brassica that you eat the head can be dried into a green powder for nutrition and flavor. I discovered I really liked broccoli leaves as its own vegetable.
@TheProvidentPrepper: Yes, both broccoli leaves & stems. Cauliflower leaves are good, too.
What advice do you have for those of us with smaller living quarters?
Great video!
We've been putting away dry foods for years. We had used ice mountain water bottles that we thoroughly dried and then tightly packed white rice into them all the way to the cap 8 years ago. We kept them in our pole barn in a shelf out of direct light. They've been through cold ohio winter and hot summers 8x.
We recently went through them and decided to discard the rice. I was thinking the rice would smell bad or look degraded but it never changed it smelled fine looked fine. We soaked it a few days and fed it to chickens. But honestly it was fine I think I'd eat it. We since put away rice in mylar in buckets so we got rid of the old stock.
I've been doing more canning and I'm running out of room to keep all of my jars. I have space where I can build some canning shelves about 12' long and 8 ' high. I'm just wondering what people recommend for the depth of shelves and the spacing between shelves. I would like a bottom shelf high enough to fit 5 gallon buckets then shelves for different size canning jars.
2 items you definitely should stick to best buy date: mac&cheese box and mayo.
I understand the Mayo… but the Mac and cheese box? The powder or that Parker cheese goes bad? Pasta should be fine
@@That.Lady.withtheYarn I had a case of mac and cheese go rancid so I now keep it in the fridge or freezer.
So needed! This video gave me renewed sense of hope, it does get challenging trying hard to store food on a continual basis and remember to rotate, and on and on and on but this broke it down so nicely! Thank you!
what are the white cloth bands on the canned food jars for??
Awesome video!
Hi! As you were talking I started wondering if your family were LDS... I'm LDS too. I'm a pretty new convert. But I love the way the church encouraged me to start stocking up for harder times. Ok, I'm not finished watching the video yet. I'm not exactly feeling well today either.
Yes, they are members.
As aa kid we ate good breakfast and supper n if hungry a peanut butter sandwich instead of lunch.
I thought that only the #2 HDPE plastic containers are the only BPA free & long term reusable food storage option🤔
Thanks for video!
Thank you for your video.
I can't go wrong watching your videos. Just saying.
Is anyone else noticing a change in patterns?
Sleeping patters, energy patterns, animal patterns, even my mental patterns are different it seems. Gotta watch that eh? I'm already too far down the "rabbit hole" to be messing up mentally. But at least I'm aware of my condition, and not in denial like many are.
One thing I noticed is that I no longer handle "stress" like I used to.
Maybe there's more stress these days, ... or I just feel like there's more stress, either way, it sucks.
I just have to remind myself, "This too will change".
I've prepared for many potentials and still, to see some of them come to pass like the devaluation of the fiat currency we are forced to use and the reflection of that dismal condition in the price of our foods, still manages to shock me. And I'm supposed to be "prepared".
I knew this was coming.
It's the middle of the winter and my Hens are laying like crazy. Lucky me. But they never stared laying heavy in the past until later in the spring when the days got longer and the weather warmed up some. Mind you, it has been a mild winter. Another changing pattern?
I'll be reintroducing the rooster to the flock for fertile eggs here soon and start the spring incubation ritual. I bought a broody Hen last fall in the hopes she will hatch a clutch or two as well.
Isn't the Prepper math wild?
For instance, enough food for three people for three years is enough food for two people for four and a half years or enough food for one lonely person for nine freaking years. If it will store that long eh?
I'm no longer worrying about what is acceptable to other people when it comes to food. (My mother being the exception) They'll either eat it or they won't.
Mum's "All The Timers" makes her a fickle eater at the best of times and what she likes today may be unacceptable tomorrow.
Funny how it works.
But when she went off the rice, I got worried so I bought a 40lb bag of instant potatoes and started dehydrating potatoes like crazy.
Mind you, she still eats rice when I disguise it in a soup or stew. Whatever works eh? Goulash anyone?
Back when I first started Prepping I found a bulk supply of TVP, (Texturized Vegetable Protein) but stopped buying it because it was made from GMO Soy Beans.
Now I'm thinking of getting some more because it stores well in mason jars with an oxygen absorber and if/when it's truly needed, I doubt the GMO will be an issue.
No garden for me this year, ... Mum has been replanting the garden three or four times every spring and you can't tell her it's already planted because she just says those seeds didn't come up so they must be bad regardless of the fact she only planted them two or three days ago.
Oh well, it's her garden, but I must admit, when she weeded all my dill out last summer, I was a little disappointed. lol But nothing to get upset about.
As long as Mum is happy and she has something to do, I'm good with it all.
I'll be lucky to plant a few containers. Mum doesn't mess with the containers. AND! There's always next year barring all catastrophe. Knock on wood and cross my fingers.
Besides, this is the spring I build my Superadobe Root Cellar.
My Fireproof, Windproof, Bulletproof, and Earthquake resistant Bunker of Despair, because if I find myself cowering in the thing, .... it only means it's gotten real bad in the real world.
What was originally just a root cellar now has a shallow, hand pump, water well incorporated and a composting toilet that only needs to be cleaned out once a year, ... maybe two years at the very beginning. Depends on how heavy the use and how long the Humanure takes to roll and slide down the sloping and stepped "shoot" to the "clean out" at the bottom. (It's a six to seven foot sloping drop) Liquids are piped away so they don't contaminate the well and it's all "built in", and self contained.
I was fine with just a root cellar until the Putin potential of WW3 raised its ugly head. Suddenly it's become a Bunker of Despair.
I'll eat well as I watch it all go down. That's all I want eh? What more could a fellow ask for?
May the abundance of the world always be manifest in your lives!
And good luck.
I share your observations on changes in sleep, stress tolerance, animal behavior and a feeling of oppression.
Your suggestions and personal journey was very helpful. The world is on fire.
I have found peace through my faith in God and in developing a relationship with Him. Perhaps you might find peace the same way. 🕊
Question, on storing beans, what is the recommended beans to store long term? We don't like pinto beans, we prefer Peruvian beans. Is there any danger storing Peruvian beans? I know black beans are not good for long term storage. Thank you. Love all your videos, I have learned a lot
Vitamins keep well.
I love everything you said and totally agree. This is very doable! My question and concern is flour in a can. We bought many cans of white flour in cans around twelve years ago. We didn’t open any util recently and when we did, there was a strong metallic smell. We can’t get the smell out and I have tried many things to alleviate it. I’m so afraid that my supply of white flour is unusable. Please tell me what to do. I’m devastated.
I read in an article if you transfer the flour into a bowl and then transfer it back into another bowl keep transferring it until the flour gets re-oxygenated. If that does not work than discard it.
I hope this is not a crazy question but how do you know what size oxygen obsorber do you need for what type food or size of container?
What do you suggest for those of us who don't usually eat processed foods & grains? I try to eat fresh unprocessed whole foods. I don't eat rice, beans, wheat, carbs etc. but, I do buy and stockpile it for an emergency. However, its not something I can "rotate" out, because I don't eat it.
I have one year of rice and pasta working on protein😀😀

We can’t go through our stock because we don’t eat carbs. We eat good fats, meat, and vegetables, and some fruits that we felt like we needed some beans, pastA , oatmeal, and rice because that’s the best long storage food we can get. My husband is just waiting for those hard times so that he can have macaroni and cheese , meat and potatoes, rice , beans and other stuff that we used to eat that we don’t eat anymore. Lol.
Just a randon idea you guys should sale a sticker that indicates we are provident preppers what a great way to bonds seeing somebody at the store with a sticker on their car that starts a conversation
I wouldn't feel comfortable broadcasting that I prep or their name. Too many unsavory people running loose these days.
Was the food under the twin bed enough for one year?
I have a small Bluetti solar setup. How do you keep it "charged up" and at the same time protect it from an (EMP) Electro-Magnetic Pulse or (CME) Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun? I have a CPAP machine and would suffer without using it nightly.
These power stations will hold a charge...most of them for at least 6 months to a year. I like to pull them out about every 3 months to use them briefly (basically check on them) then charge them to about 70% (charging to less than full is better for the battery longevity) and put them back into a Faraday box. That way they are ready to go all the time. As for the CPAP machine, they are making better machines all the time. If you need to replace it at some point, see if you can get the most efficient machine possible. I have heard that there are some that only draw 30 watts, and some that you can use with a DC power supply, making them even more efficient. Keep doing great things...connect back if you have more questions!
@@JonathanBJones Thanks.
What do you have for a grid down laundry type situation?
@robinweber, I used 5 gal 🪣 & new plunger 🪠 when my washer broke. It worked well enough for my needs.
Hah! I think teenagers absorb food by walking through the kitchen!
FYI: the men in the study, the 22 miles a week, divided by 7 days a week equals 3.14. Little over Pi.
I used to buy the giant box of raisins shown in the picture in Costco but haven't seen them there lately. Does anyone know where to buy organic raisins in bulk?
How do you store dry dog food/ cat food long term?
Actually.. the first thing to know is… DONT RUN OUT OF CHOCOLATE 🍫 🤩 Seriously, I greatly appreciate your insight 🏆
Do you have a video, recipes, or additional resources for someone who is gluten-free?
Yes! th-cam.com/video/FJmww0HZ_kA/w-d-xo.html You will start seeing more of them. Focus on storing rice, beans, oats, potato flakes, and the foods that you normally eat. I store tapioca flour and cornstarch in bulk because purchasing gluten free flour is cost prohibitive. Keep an eye out and you will see more.
Help! I’m new to prepping. I stored dry pasta in food saver bags 2 months ago with oxygen absorbers and just checked to find the bags didn’t hold up having air in them. Can I repacked the pasta? I have Mylar bags and canning jars but not sure if I can save the pasta for long term storage. Thank you for your help. Just discovering your videos.
Tezxianne kitzke, yes you can repackage it, unless it has bugs in it. I have kept pasta just in its original store package for over a year and it was fine. Commercial pasta is already dried and will keep well for a long time if you keep it dry and pest free. I prefer keeping it in jars so it doesn't puncture the bags but also keep it in the original bags in decorative tins.
Agree with Sherry, yes it's fine! I clean out plastic 2L soda bottles, and just pour my rice, black beans, split peas, lentils, and small shell pasta in there for storage. I do not use oxygen absorbers or mylar bags. I store bags/boxes of larger pasta noodles in their original package inside a plastic tote with a lid. I have had no issues with bugs and this is an inexpensive way to store it.
I've packed white rice, noodles and pasta in a 1 gallon round, plastic storage container from Dollar Tree. I place the food inside the container, inside a very long food saver bag that was double sealed on the end, put an oxygen absorber in the bag, then double vacuum seal the top bag and have had zero problems. Also I cut food grade silicone seals and place them under the lid for added insurance. I plan to keep this for up to 5 years.
Thank you all! I got a food saver as a gift and started sealing up things I probably shouldn’t have. I am glad I started watching the Provident Prepper videos as I am learning. One other question I have is that during the holidays I bought extra walnuts and pecans while on sale and put the in food saver bags with oxygen absorbers. Can I repacked them to make them last longer or should I throw them away? I now know from the videos to put them in jars but didn’t know if I can salvage these. Thank you.
@@TheProvidentPrepper very helpful article, I learned a lot!
Have you thought about doing a food storage recipe cookbook? All of the foods that you talk about cooking on dish channel no delicious :-)
Is the dry milk, nonfat, 1%, 2% or whole, mentioned in the 6 basics?
@@TheProvidentPrepper you made the yogurt with the nonfat dry. Correct?
you can make your own wild yeast, the packets of yeast do not have a long shelf life.
Let me ask about dry canning BEANS & RICE. Do you think oven canning these foods are safe or a waste of time and effort? Just o2 absorbers ?
Oven canning also damages the canning jars. They are manufactured to withstand "moist heat" only. Using them in the oven can cause microfissures and/or weaken the glass so that it may break when you use it for water bath or pressure canning...then you not only loose the jar but whatever food was in the jar.
I've oven canned a lot of foods but now I only do it to crackers. The flour couldn't be used for bread (no gluten after it's heated)and had to be sifted as it had rock hard chunks in it. But the crackers have lasted over 2 years and taste like we just bought them!
Use a break bleeder kit with the suction cups to dry can. Its sucks the air out of the jars
I opened a 10 can of eggs how do I store the rest
I just finished watching this video and I am freaking! I live off disability income and am trying to store for myself, 4 adult children and their families who think I worry too much about the things that are coming. I simply don’t have enough money coming in to store for myself, let alone for them. Especially nutrition wise. My expenses where I live are high and now with groceries prices going up, I’m really concerned! I’m going to have to find a job I can do with my immune and disability issues. Plus jobs are at a premium in my area. I know I can only do so much. I’m trying to get them to think about storing for there families and I am going to send them this video. Hopefully, they will watch it and then take action. If you have any suggestions, I am all ears!! Thanks for sharing this! God help people get prepared…Especially because young people think it’s stupid to do so. I also realized that I am not eating well enough either. This was really an eye opener for me! So thank you!! Bless you for sharing this!!! 🙏🏻✝️
Blessings to you. I am in a similar situation, but i started about 2 years ago. Literally buy one extra thing per week, if that is all you can afford. If something is on sale, buy two. It is very slow, but eventually, you will have an extra week supply, which will get you through 99 percent of emergency situations. FEEL GOOD about what you have acheived, its better than most peoples preparations! Every thing you put up, is a small step, and better than nothing. ❤ encourage your young people to just have a 3 day emergency supply to begin with, they may get 'the prepping bug', they may not, but at least that cant be argued with, as a sensible thing to do. Prayers for you. Lets keep our faith in God, and do what we can. Thats it. ❤ also please be feeding and looking after yourself well. Your family need you 😊❤
I've found free fruit for the picking through our local classified ads. Homeowners with excess/unwanted fruit will advertise it so it's not wasted. I got lots of free apricots and plums that I made into jam, nectar and froze for smoothies.
One thing that concerns me is how to protect what we have, and how far to go protecting it, when the total collapse hits.
Remember hinding it is a great way to protect what is your best hiding spot probanly a great long term storage spot
Just in the movies….total collapse is not happening.
People should have a big box set aside just for bartering with those who come knocking.
😅darn tootin' make sure your chocolate is enough.
I wonder what the shelf life is for chocolate?
@@customer5032 Maybe it's impossible to know because it always gets eaten so quickly. ;^ )
What do you think about flavored protein powder? For example chocolate (I love oats with chcolate-coconut protein). Is is good for long term storing and bring protein in our food? Thank you very much and excuse my english. I love your videos.
I used that as hot chocolate
Your English is great--a lot better than many native English speakers.
♥️😎👍
I thought the question of the day was going to be. How much chocolate have you stored? Lol
Trading kale for chocolate?! That's like trading gravel for diamonds. Who would do that?
One complexity is also if you eat biblically clean⁉️ Still not impossible, Joseph 😂. Shalom
Thank you! Great video. I didn't see corn on the list, specifically dried "dent corn" for things like grits (I'm in the deep south), cornmeal for cornbread, etc. What do you think about adding that and does it store as well as wheat? Problem is I can't find organic dent corn, but only the GMO stuff.
When are the Girls going to get back from Mission. If you wish to share. OpSec is always a priority.
