I wish I had a basement. I’m in a condo and turned my second bedroom into my pantry. I look like a food hoarder. They’re going to find my cold dead body under bags of rice and cans of fruit
Haha! Well at least you won't be hungry....
This was too funny, I shouldn’t laugh be hey, humor is food to the soul!!
Maximize your under bed space and grow onions and potatoes on your patio. They replenish themselves easily.
death and life is in the power of the tongue you will make it you are preparing
😂😂😂😂
I have a 2 car garage. The door has not been opened in 15 years. All are preps are in there. It's real nice. Nobody knows what's in their. In the middle is my escape trailer. Fully equipped and ready to go. 5.5x10. I bought it new 7 years ago. It's never been outside since I bought it. 2 spares. You name it I bought it. Hope we never have to leave the house. But we are ready. No kids. This year I'm working on water. Have fun.
The wise man sees the signs of the times and prepares. Well done.
Exactly ❤️👍🏻❤️
@GoodFruitForGod who are you to say that the Lord may not be laying it on the hearts of some of his children to prepare not only for their families but for neighbors or brothers and sisters in Christ? Be careful how you admonish as you can destroy one weak in the faith.
@GoodFruitForGod He also told Joseph to store up grain in the silos to prepare for the famine that was coming.
@GoodFruitForGod I think it has to be either or. Either it's okay to prepare, or it's not. Where are you making the distinction between short and long term in the bible?
Well said
Everytime I see a prepper panty I feel like a kid who is entering the gates at Disneyland 😅
😂😂😂same here
Lol...me too!
IKR? It’s like ooo, ahhh. 😂🤣
@@kimberlyjones6476 yes I'm not the only one! 😆
You all are awesome!
I used to think preppers were crazy until this year, I have started to prepare and I am still adding to it almost everyday. Great video.
Thank you!
I'm with you! I always thought they were crazy, too, but since the election, I'm on it!
Most people think they are crazy because misconceptions. You don't need to prep with guns and ammo or for the end of the world. A good prepared person will have Water and food for a month a good first aid kit and some other stuff like a cooking device if there's no power. Most people prep for large storms or if they see a trend of prices going up you might buy a few more of that item than normal.
Imagine us in the UK. No one seems to care here. Shops are full and that is maybe because no one is buying by bulk.
@@ggarden8432 It's nice to have plenty of guns and ammo for many reasons. I like having a couple boomsticks for protection.
You're the first prepper I've heard that said not to prep out of fear. Others may not come out and say that you should but the way they speak is meant to perpetuate fear. I appreciate you for not doing that. Good video. Great tips.
Thank you! Never live in fear. God is in control....we do what we can and leave the rest up to Him!
So true! My family thinks I prep out of fear, and therefore joke about me, but they do not understand that I do not fear anything. I just think its prudent to be prepared for anything, especially considering the unprecedented levels of sociopolitical issues, earthquakes, floods, gsm/solar activity...
It just makes sense to respond appropriately to changes in ones environment.
For me, prepping is an act of Love, not fear. Love for myself, my family, even my foolish unprepared neighbors. Love is Action.
Nice stockpile! I have one tip for you. I’ve heard this several times, and I work at a grocery store. You must keep bottled water off of the concrete floor. It was hard to tell from the angle, if they had something underneath them. The concrete will contaminate the water. It’s like same reason you can’t leave bottle water in a hot car or space, it will also contaminate the water.
Thanks for the advice! The water in the video is actually water we use a lot of. It will be used quickly. We have hard water here so we drink a lot of bottled water. But you are right....concrete isn't good for long term storage of water!
@@TheCookFamilyHomestead my husband is a PHD chemist. He says chemicals from concrete floors won't leach through the plastic.
@@redeemedbygrace9236 thank you! I was worried for a minute!
@@TheCookFamilyHomestead and you can't freeze it.
So will bottles water be safe on carpet in my bedroom?????
Great video.
We don’t want to be like the foolish virgins, waiting until the time is at hand to go get oil. God warned Noah and Joseph. They were obedient and were saved. Keep doing what you do.
Amen! God bless you!
I agree! Really good video
@Irene Marie Joseph saved enough corn for 7 seven years
I never put these two together... Well said. Good luck
That's powerful, "TRUTH"
Christ be with you always and anyone who reads this. The great Reset is coming.
I was thinking this to that a Reset was coming , not anymore after a lot of reading and listening . Its a transformation , a transformation of the people , of the system , of the food ect.. ect... .
@@dreddredd7137 The end of the Age All the trumpets are man's doing... until God wrath comes. God bless.
Indeed it is. Storm clouds are clearly visible and the wind is blowing. The dollar is only worth a tyrant's word and the people have capitulated to the wiles of dark spirits. The train of delusion is running out of track.
God bless you Bryan
Amen. And yes the great RESET is coming
After going through COVID-19 lockdown for 2 months, and seeing food shortages, this just makes sense. Buy what you can as you go, don't hoard but stock up. Food, meds, hygene, cleaning stuff etc.
Prep for possible long term power outages too..
I don't know if it's already been mentioned, but in my experience it's best to take the rings off of the canning jars before storing them. Any little bits of moisture or food under the ring will rot and rust them, making them difficult to get off and often destroying them.
Even without the ring, the lids aren't going to pop off unless they didn't seal properly, in which case it's better to know sooner rather than later.
Gorgeous stockpile!!
Leaving rings on is a no no. If a lid unseals the lid can hold it in place, this giving the jar a ,false, seal. That food will not be safe.
I’m a college student living in a townhouse with 3 other people. While our budgets are tight and we only have a small amount of space I ALWAYS make sure we are stocked up on pantry staples and our fridge and freezer is full. Because we make not starving a priority we could easily go 4 months before running out of food. So in my opinion, space and a low food budget is not an excuse to be unprepared...
That is very wise!
Great job! ❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻
@@TheCookFamilyHomestead
My parents don’t know how to be prepared.
My dad :
We can eat the possum ( have rabies)
My dad buying non-parashiable food
Wasting can
Whoo deals but not goods ones
My mom:
Fruits and vegetables.
We don’t need to go over to plan on safety
We don’t need to be prepared.
@@carissabelford5366 Then you do it! Buy 1 thing at a time and store under your bed❤️
If you had too, you could ration if need be to make your food last longer. Do you have some security if something does come up? Somethings to think about when you have food. And, dont tell others about your stash.
If you're starting at a 72-hour supply, start at the dollar store! Lots of good options there, especially for the necessities. Rice and beans, baby! Plus it's a great place to stuck up on short-term supplies of health and hygiene items.
Awesome advice!
And specifically Dollar Tree stores. They have the storage bins, first aid supplies, groceries, even small hand tools, and those kinds of resources. We shop there often for scouts and for home. It's a great resource without blowing the budget.
@@happilyhomegrown6011 I get lots of food at the Dollar Tree. Their saltine crackers are good, nacho chips, popcorn, even eggs. I learned I can buy bread cheaper at a local gas station. I can get my bread cheaper than Wal-Mart or the Dollar Tree.
They will be raising their prices in the next coming weeks....Hurry!!!
NO! Now that the prices have gone up to $1.25, at Dollar Tree, it’s expensive for many things. Today, canned corn at Walmart was 54 cents a can. They are $1.25 at Dollar Tree. Rice is expensive there. Pasta is higher than Walmart. Start using your phone to compare prices. You could be paying WAY MORE! Bath gel, shampoo, bandaids are priced better than Walmart.
Well done. It’s funny how preppers actually restock and rotate their foods, when my local Walmart does not 😂
Grocery sections in stores are replaced every 3-4 days.
This is my first time on your channel. I've been prepping since 2019 and I add to my stockpile as often as I can afford to. I've been making and canning soups of many different kinds. Tonight I'm making and canning lentil soup and also Brunswick stew. Tomorrow night I'm making and canning 16 bean soup. Tomorrow I'm finishing putting my garden in. I live in Wisconsin. Thank you for putting this video together. It gives me ideas for my own pantry.
I believe you are filled with wisdom to be prepared. God bless you and your family!! You are taking care of your family very well. I am excited for you!!!
Your family preparedness pantry looks well stocked. Well done.
I’m a single female (51) and I can say I easily have everything in your prepper pantry and more. It’s a good feeling knowing when the stores are out of everything or they require passports to shop, I’m prepared. I also have a garden. I started prepping in 2015. ❤️ loved the tour. It’s always fun to see what others like to store up on.
Thanks for watching.
Good job
Even before pandemics and civil unrest I could never let my supplies get much below 3 mos. I can’t even begin to imagine what a pantry with 3 days worth of food would look like. That would scare me to death.
Ooooh! I guess we are all different. I can't comprehend all these pantries...I have never seen so much food ! So all I will say is that I am grateful to live where I don't ever feel the need to do this. 😊 I appreciate all the work and commitment placed into this. Wow. 😊
@@isabellearseneault9737, bear in mind that during times of unrest trucks might not be able (or willing) to get through mobs of rioters to restock grocery store shelves. The government itself has recommended that people store 3-6 mos of food. Even if things don’t go pear shaped, we will not need to run to the store for a good long while. Just something to think about.
@@indianne9781 Absolutely! 😊 I just never stopped to think of it...I guess it's because we never ran out of food. But it could surely happen anywheres. All the best to you from 🇨🇦. 😊
@@isabellearseneault9737 all the best to you as well, from 🇺🇸
@Austin Cox ??? Don't know why the comment...but all the best to you. 😊
Don't forget manual can/bottle openers.
I suffered from really bad migraines and had to drink a lot of strong medicine for it on a regular basis. My twins had an allergy to gluten among other things and I started to follow their same diet so I wouldn’t have to cook different things. I can honestly say going on a gluten free diet has been a God sent I have been free of any migraines for the past 8 years and No more pills🙏🏻
Fantastic ❤️😊❤️
ADD a few Bay leaves to those buckets to kill bugs and larva which are always in those items.....
I used to think about prepping, I always thought it was just a bunch of crazy hoarders. I apologise for that, after watching this and a few other videos and actually getting a grip on prepping, I admit I was wrong. As a matter of fact, I'm going to start prepping so I'll be ready if a next wave of the virus hits (pray not)
God bless you my friend!
Welcome to the family, friend! ❤️
A virus. Lol. The first one was the flu…
Meeee too
lol same here. It’s like heaven on earth 😁
Need a movement like we had in WW2. The Victory Gardens. Got a lot of america to grow fruits n veggies in their yards that were not previously doing so. My grand parents had a rather large garden for veg, they would use some, can the rest. That generation, that went through the great depression, and the world wars, they knew every trick in the book on saving and reusing every little thing they had.
I love my food pantry/storage. I put a basket on my arm and go shopping in my basement and pantry. Write what I take on a list, then go shopping to replace it. Twice a month I go to the grocery store and 80% of it goes straight to the storage and the back of the shelf so oldest is at the front to be chosen on the next foray to stock up the kitchen. If you keep a menu list it's easy to see what to bring up and what to replace, and you always have a good idea what's going to be for supper and you know what meats to take out of the freezer for today or tomorrow.
Hint; keep heavy stuff like canning pots on the bottom and light stuff like paper towels on the top. That way, if you're in your basement for a tornado possible things falling will be light. who wants to get hit in the head by a bread machine!
Picks up maple syrup and doesn't mention it.
And as a Canadian, I took that personally.
lol
🍁 😂 🇨🇦
I have some Northern Comfort maple syrup!!!
Hey we love some Canadian maple syrup over here in UK 😋
That and honey!
Nice supply of goods! Our basement looks very similar. Stocked and ready to face what may come. May God bless you and your family! We've always been prepared with extra goods, however, the current times we are living in have slightly ramped it up a notch or two. Thanks for sharing with everyone.
Always keep a spare can opener in the storage room!
Great advice.
Love seeing the prepper pantries! Yours is the first I've seen that has a terrific stock of spices, which are critical to making flavorful food, especially if you're trying to 'make do' with boxed/canned stuff, so great idea on that.
Thank you.....yes we love to cook and spices are essential. You can make bland taste great by just mixing in a few spices!
Yes ppl forget merchants travelled hundreds and thousands of miles along the spice trail to acquire flavor. We take it sooooooo for granted but spice trades dominated the world economy a long time ago. Simple foods can become decadent feasts and medicinal gems if you know a little about herbs and spices. Also: SALT. All kinds
@@peaceandquiet1983 -- Yes, spice is life! I grow fresh herbs inside the house, makes such a difference in how food tastes when it's 'fresh'.
P
I have been prepping and I live in an apartment. I have stocked since last year and got first aid kits set up and bug out bags for me and my children. I watching videos like this to get more ideas.
Same.
At this point it is better for you to move to a small town with nice people. Things are going to get nasty in cities. I am assuming you are in a larger center because of the comment that you live in an apartment.
@@binderdundit228 yes the crime has increased here I live in California unfortunately and plan to move to another state before summer.
If you have any possibility of flooding or sewer backup, get everything much higher. My basement had alot if backup preps and the basement has 2 freak floods this year.. .ruined things I cannot afford to replace this year with lack of work. Be forewarned, get those things higher! Ultimately, only God is our provider!
Yep. Fantastic tip. Alternately put anything of worth in labeled rubbermaid bins. I use cinder blocks with plywood on top in 2 foot wide sections. Bins go on top.
I have a sump pump in mine. I keep all things that can get wet in lidded buckets and totes. As you never know what Murphy's Law can bring in a Biden administration! 😁
I would avoid storing to much fridge stuff just incase the light goes out for weeks
i went to Menards garden center and bought 60 large concrete blocks for 1.18 each along with their 30 scrap wood plywood shelving for 2.49 each. THEN I made 30 low shelves to elevate water and buckets off the floors just in case of sewer back ups.
I have frozen probably 25 20oz soda bottles of water and put in each of my freezers scattered throughout if power goes out this may save your meat and adds to your water supply and i have a few froze to put in fridge also keep doors shut and the cold stays in stay safe
We color coded our containers to remind us if things are going to expire so they can be replaced. Green=Good, Yellow=borderline Red=Replace with new.
I've been prepping. My mistakes learned, don't store food in garage. Its too hot, cans have popped their seal in garage. Box grains, get out of box, bugs can eat thru, get in glass jars,dry seal them. Don't store all food 1 place in home. I have jars of rice and beans in my cabinets in very back with pans in front. I also use underneath my bed with old drawers I pull out. I have jars wrapped in pillowcase to keep off dust
❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Gwen. So true about grains in box. Pasta too. I think bug eggs are in the cardboard. You can freeze overnight to kill eggs I prefer to buy pasta in the cellophane bags.
@@DontStepInTheGrease their is this moth that can get thru those bags too.they can bite a small hole thru then the food gets this webbing in. I know I got them thru sprouts and those food bins. Having a hard time getting rid of them completely
@@lovemylife2024 Thank you. By cellophane, I mean the bags American Beauty pasta and others come in. I like AB pasta. It is non GMO.
@@DontStepInTheGrease my Miller mouth eat thru them, they also have found way into spice jars. Maybe from not screwing lid on tight?
Thanks so much for sharing. We are just starting out. We are up to over a month and I am trying to expand. Gives me lots of great ideas.
Thanks for watching!
You've just showed your entire stash to the world. Watch out for the zombies when they come knocking.
I have 4 kids. I have been working for a few months now. And im trying to make sure i cover everything I can possibly think of.
Just do what you can and never do it out of fear. Just gather what you can and let God do the rest! Thanks for watching.
have colloidal silver on hand
I have three and one thing I'm thinking of is clothing. I'm trying to get clothes and footwear in the next sizes they will need, including cold weather gear here. Gender neutral clothing might be something to consider for hand me downs and trade but I'm just starting with the next size up for a of them, I can sew so I can alter larger clothes to fit but it's much easier to buy them now.
@@distressindamsel I have veen collecting things too. We have a local thrift store that does 50% off every wed so ive been trying to add things in that way. And my family all sorta passes clothing around lol. But gender neutral is a really great point. My biggest thing currently is the shoes. I have a ton of clothing and I can sew things too but shoes are the kicker. Luckily my two youngest ones are about the same size so that makes it nice too. My oldest is the same size as me. My son is the only one I dont have as much wiggle room for. But my cousin has a boy who passes things down.
@Melissa Peltier Hydrogen Peroxide
Great vlog, I can totally understand storage like this for a large family. Love the point you made about rotating goods. It's not just sitting there.
Thank you!
Tip: Keep a list on the freezer of running inventory of each shelf with dates, I highlight things I want used up and cross those off as I do, it’s easy to forget about things or leave them buried till their not the best quality anymore. For things on the shelfs I use a black sharpie to mark best by date. It just makes it easier to quickly see what is getting close and of coarse put the newest purchases in back.
Key word, rotate, rotate, rotate, do just shelve your food and forget about it. USE IT and replace.
Dude… this is a prepper pantry! I love watching stuff like this to get ideas for my stockpile.
I got in a bit of debt today prepping. But I really do not care at the moment.
Yes, I am $1,700.00 in debt...surely it will be way worth it😳😬
@@kimberlyarroyo6689 well I keep saying that it's better to have debt and something of use than to have debt of useless crap
My husband is not into prepping at all I think I have been driving him crazy. I haven't shown him half of what I have stashed all over the house...he said he would get a gun but waited too long and now there is no ammo and guns to be found. I bought me a big knife to put on my hip put a knitting needle down my tall boots, 😳😬
I hope it doesn't come to door to door starving people searching for food!
I had this very thought back in April when the coronavirus locked down started. I really feel like there will be another lockdown because of all the violence coming from the election. We need to pray and prepare. 💗
@@kimberlyarroyo6689 Yes, I agree about there being violence and I do believe civil war and martial law will be imminent. I am staying home until January. Have you stored stuff under your bed or in your shoes. Also a weapon is a good idea. Block your doors at night.
I ran up my credit cards the last few months getting all my preps done , but hey I’m all stock up and ready to go.
I also put bay leave in my bucket
Bay Leaves are very good at deterring bugs!
I have been bulking up on canning lids for years ... thank goodness I can continue to preserve
We did too....thankfully!
Mandy my sweetie, how are you? I'm sorry I haven't contacted you but I do think about you. It's been a heck of a year, neck surgery.. ugh, good friend passed away, babysitting gkids, and of course covid. I saw where you started doing videos again. Didn't mean to take over these comments, it's just good to see you. Take care, hugs. Marcia
We stocked up on jars and lids last year. So glad we bought them every payday (biweekly) because our area hasn’t had jars or lids for months and months.
@@m.b.g.2235 Omgosh girl don't you dare apologize. I am so sorry you're going thru all this, will email!
Ive always bdlieved in prepping bu as ive gotten older im more into it. Im also seeing the need. A friend got a huge propane tank welded a tow hitch to the front and wheels on the back. He cut the back end off and welded hinges and a lockto it. Inside he welded shelves for food with straps to secure. Ans z bunk for him. Theres also a place for his dog. He planted small bushes round it to hide the wheels etc. He pulls his pickup truckin the garage shuts the doors n licks them thrn with a hand truck carts all out the back garage doorup a ramp into the converted tank. 😅he calls the propane tank his TROJAN HORSE. the yard where the tanksits is fenced n and his dog stsys n the yard. The preps he has in his tru k is inside the cap and its windows are covered.his brother next door built a garage over the old inground swimming pool. He keeps his preps under the garage where thr pool was. He plans on bugging in while my buddy plans on hitching up his TROJAN HORSE n going to his cabin in the mtns. To each his own
Love your food storage system. Wish we had a basement. I have food, water, cleaning supplies in EVERY room of my house because I have a fear of being trapped in a room without supplies or stuck outside of my house and unable to access my home in case there was earthquake or hurricane damage. Yep, I’m a nut.🤦🏽♀️
Very informative video.
Many blessings
Aloha 🌴🌋🤙🏽
I don’t know if you’ll see this since it’s an older video, but one thing I noticed you don’t have is dish brushes, sponges or something to do dishes with.
Hi Katelyn! Thanks for the comment. Great advice. Something we'll have to add! God bless.
Pedialyte or electrolytes are a good addition too..
No doubt! Excellent comment.
Nicely staged, well thought out pantry. That ain't easy to do. I admire that.
I have the same wood shelves for my stuff, be sure to fasten to shelves with tapcons into the block wall to avoid a potential collapse.
FI - FO : First in - first out ... a must for all pantry keepers everywhere!
FEFO is better. First expired, first out
Great video. Might I also suggest somethings we recently purchased for our prepper pantry, an adjustable cane and adjustable crutches. If someone has some type of leg/knee/foot injury they might come in handy. Also a good thing to have would be Oil lamps, and a few bottles of lamp oil. If the lights go out you don’t have to waste your batteries right away you can use the lamps instead and stretch your batteries out longer. Hello from Rock Spring, Georgia, USA
Great video! Nice way to explain prepping reasons without the typical fear monger.
Very down to earth & smart!
One day I would love to have a prepper pantry big or small but unfortunately I’m still living at home as I’m 17 and my dad doesn’t see the point. We are in England to things aren’t as bad here but it’s always good to be prepared
I guess it depends who's comments you read , some claim it's bad 👎🤔 others don't 🤔
12:03 Running out of toilet paper during the PLAN-DEMIC started my prepping
Thank you for showing preps with children and infants in mind.
Thank you for watching! God bless.
Thank you. I've been prepping in California in the last three years, for the move back to Fiji this year. I have purchased just about everything you have showed in your video. Smart people prepare. Thank you America 🇺🇸
Thank you for watching!
It must be a lot easier with a supportive wife , mine thinks I'm crazy for wanting a stocked pantry , packed freezer and extra supplies.. opposites do attract, I suppose
I feel ya
She will change her tune soon...
in my case its the eye rolling hubs that thinks i am nuts lol
I'm shocked that it's so many men who are the preppers, because that seems to be a more feminine trait. You'd think there would be more female preppers.
@@lockergr not really - we don’t think the end of the world is around the corner - seems some men do 😳😳😳
Mylar bags will greatly extend the life of your food in your DIY buckets
Beware of mice! I had mice chew up my toilet paper and bars of soap. I vacuum seal all of my dry goods in canning jars, but I hadn't thought that things like toilet paper and bars of soap need to be protected too.
It’s so weird how mice love soap! I learned that the hard way lol!!!!!
Wow never thought to valcum seal dry food like beans right?
@@kingofpoplivesit's the tallow
Always have traps set..We prevent infestations.
Very wise young man! Thank you for the tour. We are slightly prepared because of the habit of farming and canning. It used to be the mind-set of everyone we knew: "have a year's worth of everything plus a little, just in case some crop fails." Now, not so efficient, but we are trying. You have encouraged us to try harder. :)
God bless you! Thank you for the comment....you are a blessing!
Great stock pile. We been prepping for 12 years and are prepared. Also have the means to protect what we have.
Definitely. We are VERY well defended. I'm a firearms instructor, so my family is very well trained and we have a plan in place.
So if the neighbors come starving will you both turn them away because they were ignorant and didn't prepare? You stash is only as good as the firepower you can muster to kill those who may out of desperation will want what you have? And what about those moral considerations? If you are a Christian you have a commandment to share right? The whole prepper thing is somewhat anti Christian and selfish. Not totally but to some degree its not prudent biblically.
@@Makeitliquidfast I didn't say I would turn them away. I said, "Also have the means to protect what we have", meaning, from those who come to take what we have.
@@buddycarroll9641 so then just asking will get us fed or watered? If that's the case then my point is made in that preppers are prepping for those who aren't prepping.
@@Makeitliquidfast Depends on your attitude when you ask. I won't feed you everyday but enough sustain you for the day and that day only. Don't keep coming back everyday asking for food. So, your saying, you have enough food for your family and you would turn a hungry neighbor away?
Love ur attitude, Man!!! Most folk have craziness (a fear perhaps) when it comes to prepping!!! Now you're the type of guy I'd take instructions from. I'm writing out my list when I get home from work.
I am an extreme couponer and always had a stockpile full off food and non food products. Some people used to make fun of me for having a lot of stuff. I am so thankful for my pantry.
They will be the ones begging for help when society breaks down. Look at Venezuela.
@@TheCookFamilyHomestead if you go to the store cvs they always have promotions on paper products and other household items.
@@lenacoin great advice...thank you!
@@TheCookFamilyHomestead Your welcome! We gotta help each other out during these hard times!
I canned almost 50 quarts of food from my garden this year. I have freeze dried food as well. 100 lbs of rice,beans and pasta put away.
That looks awesome! To be fully prepared, you need -- for humans and for pets -- food, water, medication, first aid supplies, and means to make heat and light. stay safe, everyone!
Thank you and God bless you!
@@TheCookFamilyHomestead God bless you too!
Thanks for showing us your storage! Great job at prepping! To go to the next level I suggest adding antibiotics to your medical supply, easily purchased in Mexico or from veterinary supply. Also save leftover prescriptions of pain meds rather than flushing them...could be a lifesaver.
You should stock up on reusable lids this year! Tattler or harvest guard so you can continue to do canning in the future. We bought a grain mill last year and wheat too. So handy. We have about as much stuff as you. My husband is rebuilding the shelves in my bathroom to make them 2 feet instead of 12 inches that came with the house. So I’ll have tons more space soon and will buy more shampoo. I have a lot of bar soaps and hand wash. I have a huge pantry it’s basically a small room off my kitchen and we’ve been rebuilding the shelves in there too. I still wish I had a basement storage though. Can’t ever have enough storage space for us “preppers” also I’m a mineral analysis practitioner your migraines are likely low potassium! Magnesium too but magnesium lowers sodium and potassium so start with potassium let me know if you want more help also blood work isn’t an accurate representation of what is getting inside of a cell and I’ve only seen a few people with adequate potassium and it’s because they’ve been working on it a few years.
ADD a curtain rod extension pole across the front to prevent items such as jars from falling from shelf.
Do you also live beside a train track?
My first time watching, I also have the same family size but only started prepping before covid. Seeing your preps really shows how behind the ball I am definitely stressful. Hope I can get my basics together real soon, cheers.
Don't get stressed! Just do what you can. It took us a long time to get where we are.
Food, water, first aid, Foosball... you got everything covered in that basement ;)
When the pandemic really hit in 2020, I was glad we had some prep, we were shut down for 2 months. The food we had stocked up on kept us fed til we could go back to work… $$$ for groceries… prepping is for a lot of reasons. Right now we’re restocking…. You never know. In Hawaii we’ve dealt with supply chain interruption for decades….
Good for you; y’all were ready for it. I reckon your supply chain will be hit hard in the coming months. Stay safe. ❤️ from Texas
First time seeing any of your content. You've done a really great job. God bless you and keep up the good work.
Seeing this is showing me what I’m missing from my stash thanks for sharing and great video☺️
Thanks for watching!
Very impressive preps! Your way ahead of me. One thing I noticed was that you only showed one package of garbage bags. If that is all you have, it might be good to get more.
I just found your channel. So glad I did. I have pretty much the same items you have. I'm a newbie to prepping (about 4 months in) but I think I'm doing great so far. We're a family of four, including two teenagers so I definitely need a lot of food 😂 God bless you and your family and thank you for your encouragement and sharing your ideas with us. ✝️❤️🙏🏽
It’s a good channel ❤️ Oh yes...teenagers will eat you out of the house 😂😂😂
Never been a prepper but Covid was a real eye opener for me. What I saw was a massive All About Me selfish mentality to hell with anyone else. Definitely a scary time to see the other side of our so called society!
Shtf coming soon I can feel it in my bones...stock up now ppl
Oh plz grow up
I know there are a lot of people in small spaces.....buy garment bags you can hang in closet or slide under beds. You will feel great being prepared for whatever😁😄😁
6 month supply already stocked just bought a extra deep freezer will have two
I really want a chest freezer!
FROM AUSTRALIA, this is very helpful. ALOT OF YOUR items are unheard of HERE, obviously DIFFERENT names and brands. HAVE started STOCK PILING FOR 2 OLDER people. CAN always LEARN, I get ALOT OF info from AMERICA.
GOOD LUCK to you and family and THANKS for VIDEO.
I live in a hurricane prone area and I try to can most of the meat I buy. I worry that if there is a long term power outage I will loose most of my food in the freezers I have.
@@thefirstnoob5577 I have not canned meat yet
Thank you for sharing. Most Prepper pantries I have seen have failed to remember the other essential items you have on hand and focus mostly on food and some medical but its important to have all bases covered and by the looks of things you've done a great job. The shelving you have built is really nice and your items are well organized.
Thank you!
I love your shelves. Great job!! You helped me figure out how to be a better prepper
Glad to see you have a good system for rotating your stock of surplus supplies. Those supplies wouldn’t be worth much of they were too old and had gone bad. Also smart to stick to the items you regularly use and actually like. Don’t understand why people will stock up on food they don’t like eating. It will either go bad or probably never be consumed.
Well thought out Prepper pantry. Thought about prepping prior to Covid, but it took everyone's panic buying to get me going for real. I am now of the opinion that you can never prep too much. I know I'm good on canned meats, pasta, rice, canned veggies, instant coffee, sugar, TP, paper towels, Hand sanitizer, Hand soaps, etc. But I am sure I need to do more. Good on Ammo as well. Enjoyed this video.
Thank you for the kind words! And you are right, you can never have too much!
@@TheCookFamilyHomestead .. it's hard to store water. We buy bottles of water to drink but we only have a couple of 24 packs. I'm not sure what to do. Should I get a gallon of water and store it? We don't use that size so we would just keep. Do you know how long water in that size container is potable?
@@m.b.g.2235 Please think about investing in something like a BERKEY water filter..... then all you need is a stream or a pond.....:)
@@k.steelman2584 .. good idea. They certainly come highly recommended by the prepper community.
@@m.b.g.2235 I don’t remember the name of the channel but try a search, there is a guy who made a homemade “Berkey” with stainless steal stock pots from Walmart, very easy and cheap, then you just have to buy filters !
I love that you rotate from this actively. Broth that ages poorly can be eliminated if you have water and bullion. The coin tissues (compressed towelettes) are a very economical and efficient way to store hand towels, and useful for backpacking for wipes.
Romans 10:13
"Whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
“Whosoever" that means you!
♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever shall believe in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. God does love you
Amen!
Amen
I live in a 2 bedroom condo. I also turned my spare bedroom into a pantry. lol
Freaking GOALS! this put my little prepper pantry to shame.
New here, how do you wash, then rinse your clothes for 8 people? That’s a ton of water. Thanks for the ideas!
Much love and respect to you brother. Always be prepared for another COVID, Civil War, Financial Crisis, Food Contamination etc. good job. I know a man like you has guns hidden as well. Good job.
One of the BEST videos on this topic. THANK YOU.
Excelente explicación, organización y claridad en los que explicas. Gracias por compartir tan valiosa información. Dios le bendiga a usted y a su familia 🙏🇵🇷
Something i always do is "copy canning" basically whatever i use from my stockpile, i buy two of when i go shopping. So if i decide i want a spam sandwhich, ill open a can and buy 2 cans of spam when i go shopping. If i use 2 cans of soup, ill buy 4 etc.
Great idea! We do similarity. When we use up one we will usually, not always, but usually replace it with 2.
Well done! You can store yeast in the freezer, it will last twice as long, and when you open it keep it in the fridge. We've been doing it that way for a decade or more, it does last longer. Anything that comes in plastic with have a longer shelf life if you transfer it to glass. You can replace toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant all with baking soda. Dawn dish soap, vinegar and baking soda can replace most cleaning products. Peroxide, bleach and vinegar has a short shelf life. All these tips were learned over a lifetime and lifestyle of "saving for a rainy day."
Excellent information! I make my laundry soap: 1 cup Washing soda, 1/2 cup dish soap dissolve in 4 cup hot distilled water and top off to 1 gallon total of mixture. 1/3 cup for full loads.
What is the shelf life of vinegar? I had no idea.
@@justpatty7328 Well, they say it doesn't expire, but from experience I find after a year it's not as affective (doesn't react as much when mixed with baking soda). It's weaker. I too make my own laundry soap, love it.
Thank you, I will definitely keep that in mind. Most importantly for canning to have the freshest vinegar then. I've read not to store vinegar nearby food items, bottle "exploded," they said.
@@justpatty7328 I've not had that to happen, mine is usually a shelf below canned food. Good to keep in mind!
we got flash lights , head lamps , lanterns that are rechargable .2 solar battery pack ,solar panel so we dont need many batteries . we have 2 differant ways to cook food other than ele stove .have 3 hand can openers wood for heat generater that runs 16 hrs only 10 gal of gas .about 3 months of food do hunt and fish
I love it’s very well organized so you know where everything is
I mainly keep rice beans. Lots of dry seasonings and cooking oil trespassers can be delicious.
I’d say you’re ready. Excellent job. Now if I just had about $30 grand I could get this prepped. A lot of us aren’t gonna make it
Just a little at a time. It took us years to get where we are. Just start with smaller goals....get a weeks worth, then a month...and keep going! You can store up quick.
Yes many are barely making it.it almost seems impossible.but start where we can,get hope.🥰🙏🙏💯
Wow super nice set up , also very well organized. So good to see a man /or woman help to keep his/her family prepared . The United States is entering some very very difficult times right now.
I am homebound so I have person does the shopping I always get a little more than i need and am slowly building up back up supplies without the shopper even realizing how much I have.
Just built a house on a 20 acre farm, I'm stacked up but always adding more , not like you though but workin on it, I have three freezers in my basement that are about to be fill with deer. Also a must for me is my woodstove that heats my entire house, also cook in it.
