Others have left comments about brown rice going rancid, but the nuts or anything with higher fat content will as well. Also make sure you freeze your grains for at least 24 hrs or more then let them go back to room temp and then you can store. It kills pantry bugs. You can also put bay leaves in the container you are storing them in. You could look in to using a food saver type device to store your powders or anything you may dehydrate your self. This would also be good if you open a large bag of something and wont go through it quickly or want to keep the freshness up.

How many months of propane and/or firewood do you have saved up?

Great video! Adding my two cents. Get a few water filters like life straw or sawyer. Brown rice is healthier but it goes rancid. For long term storage get white rice. You can get a big bag of organic soy beans and make your own milk. I know you are breastfeeding but sometimes our bodies react to stress and we can loose it. I lost mine during 9/11. Get formula as a backup plan. Everything else that you are storing looks good to me. I also invested in sprouting seeds so I can get some greens during winter. Stay safe, sending lots of love! 💖

Dehydrated kale is great to have on hand because they are easy to store and easy to add to soups, stews and smoothies.

I moved my family out of Seattle across the country. We have land and I put in a garden. I invested in a pressure canner and canning jars. It's been busy at harvest time! Time consuming at first, but after a while, it's super easy! What I don't can, I dehydrate and dry can. The rest can be turned into powder and dry canned.

There is quite a bit more to do if you want to store foods for safely for long periods of time. Nuts and brown rice will go rancid quick. You also have to use a freezing process to kill the upcoming larva in your oats and quinoa before long storage. KZread channel “the provident prepper” has tons of info on long term food storage.

I stopped buying big bulk items. I but smaller bags and keep them in sealed in the original smaller package in a food grade bin. When I open one bag it i don’t have to worry about the rest, they are still in a package.

A prepper tip is have an alternative cooking source to cook all that food😊

Consider fermenting which is very easy and only requires fresh fruits and veggies, salt and water. You can add sweeteners, herbs and other spices as desired. It's not only an easy way to preserve but has the added benefit of probiotics. Also, consider storing popcorn as it's doesn't require much to preserve, since it's in it's own water proof case.

How do you keep them shelf stable?

I would add a couple things to your list. I’ve recently became interested in freeze drying. You have to outlay a bit to get started, but I think having a bunch of fruit freeze-dried and shelf-stable is a bonus. Also consider growing greens indoors like sunflower sprouts and if you don’t want to deal with dirt you can get fiber pads to grow on or really go crazy and have pre-seeded pads from Hamama. Lastly, I’ve started looking into wild greens and learning what’s growing in my backyard or park that I can eat. For instance, dandelions along a path not close to a highway. Bonus: dandelions are good for fighting covid. Love your show.

Great video. One thing that'll make your life even easier is the fact that you don't need to worry about eating a so-called "complete" protein. The body breaks down proteins and stores the individual amino acids until they need to be combined into a protein. So no need to eat proteins in any particular amino acid ratio, just eat a sufficient number of calories made up of a wide variety of whole foods, and your body takes care of the rest. Too easy!

This is the first video of yours I have come across. You just laid it all out for us. Even if no food shortage this information is crucial! Thank you so much!

I would also add (if I didn’t miss it in the video) fermented foods! They are so healthy, good for your gut and it lasts a long time :)

LOVE this one!!! We've been thinking about shortage prep too so thank you for sharing what you're doing and all the back ground info on the different items and shelf life :)

The most important part of my pantry is my sourdough starter. With just flour and water you can have the start of breads, pizzas, muffins and all kinds of sweets that you can make very easily. It’s definitely worth looking up how to start and maintain a sourdough starter if you want to be healthier now and prepared for any type of bread shortages in the future

Awesome, you’ve got us convinced to give it a try!

this is exactly the kind of info I've been looking for. and the comments are gold. thank you!!

Definitely loved this, glad people are pointing out the obvious of the things that will come.

Definitely encourage you to jump into canning! In our state (SC) you can have 24"centers if you use 2x12's for framing, which is what we did on an interior supporting wall on our new cottage.( It allowed for extra sound blocking insulation on the bedroom side, too.) I did this for canning storage! My husband made the doors from the shiplap we used on the walls so it blends in & I now have GOBS of storage space. We installed push latches, so you merely push in to open--no latches! To open any of those doors & see rows & rows of green beans yellow beans, stewed tomatoes, salsa, pumpkin, butternut squash, soups, dill pickles, etc., just warms my heart! I can have a meal/soup ready in a jiffy! Your canning "Bible"? Ball's Blue book! I got mine years ago for $5. I think they're around $8 now. It's easy--just follow the directions. You can do this, and then teach others to boot!

So a few things you should really add people should only buy food they already eat and will eat and only the amount they will use in the amount of time before it goes bad and continually rotating thru there food . Being prepared is great but buying tons of food that you won’t eat unless the apocalypse happens is not a good idea because more than likely you will just end up throwing that food out in a couple years and that puts more strain on an already strained system. Also if you add a few extras every time you go to the store you will have a good supply in no time. It also won’t all go bad at the same time . Also freeze dried food maintains almost all of its nutritional value and has a long shelf life if stored properly. Most things will need to be stored in a special way if you want them to stay good past 2-3 years. Also having a swayer water filter / life straw or something similar would be important for long term water needs. Also having skills to garden and forage are important skills to have in a long term situation. The biggest thing people new to this who haven’t been doing this for the last decade need to make sure you are buying only things you will actually use either way and stocking extras of the things you use on a regular basis.

This is the video I've been needing! Thank you!

Really happy you mentioned growing your own food. Even growing alittle bit will do wonders.

Repackage that bulk into smaller packages, use oxygen absorbers, bay leaves for insect repellent, freeze grains at least 72 hours and let thaw completely before sealing, rotate your stock, buy what you eat and eat what you buy, etc. These are some of the basic prepper principles to reduce waste and prevent spoilage. We are FT RVers and our freezer is tiny! In case of SHTF, I have organic freeze dried fruit powders, dried fruits and veg, jars of whole fruit and veg, and some canned veg (canned is not my favorite!), along with vac-sealed whole food antioxidant supplements. I am allergic to most protein and greens powders because they usually contain nightshades and/or soy. I also don’t tolerate extracted pea protein. 😓 I have tons of lentils on hand, along with probiotics. We ferment our own kraut and other goodies, so that is helpful; in the right climate, I don’t even have to fridge those things at all. Thank you for encouraging vegan prepping! NONE of my vegan friends store much extra food at all and I worry for them so much. 😖

I have been making use of garden produce/organic markets to make salsa's, tomato sauce/jam, fruit jams, pesto' sand freezing in mason jars or silicone molds initially then transferring to freezer bags. Having enough room is becoming a problem. I even parboiled potatoes and froze them. The only thing I'd caution is putting the bags of dry grains/oats into the freezer for a day or two otherwise you may see pantry moths which ruins the whole bag. This has happened to me in the past past-in sealed never opened organic grain/ flour sealed food storage bins and it makes me weep to throw food out and it's such a waste of money. Once they're in one container it can infest the whole lot. Great video-learned some smart tips!

My favorite prepper video by far! Love this! Thanks guys! ❤️❤️❤️

During the beginning of the pandemic a lot of people were so concerned about stockpiling dried food that they ignored the produce section. I recommend buying fresh produce that freezes well. You can cut up broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, cabbage, and kale and toss them into freezer bags. Also, you can make freezer jam with fresh or frozen fruit. Canning and preserving is really easy with a pressure cooker. Produce can be grown in small spaces like a balcony. I actually installed a grow light in my pantry and I was able to grow micro greens indoors.

Regarding canning, I recommend getting a pressure canner (like a Presto one)... then, you can Google what pressure to can whatever you are wanting to can and, even, recipes and instructions for different things. There are, also, certain things you can can in a large stock pot with a lid instead. But I mostly can things that can be pressure canned. All-in-all, I definitely recommend reading up on the how-tos of all that you would be interested in canning - it is well worth it and it's not as complicated as it seems! 😊

I love seeing this for plant based. It is 👍 you can also make your own dried potatoes with a dehydrator. If you cook and squish it flat on a mat then dry it and grind you have powdered potatoes. For canning a ball canning book " the blue book" is like a canning and preserving bible. You can also make tofu from dried soy beans. Soak, blend, put through but milk bag, heat at a summer stirring constantly for 20 mins, then cut off the heat and add in an acid like vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit till it cools and then put curd in but milk bag and press the more you press the firmer the end product is. Store in cold water for 3 days

Thank you guys for sharing this amazing food storage video. I absolutely love it💝

Very very informative and right! I have empty 5 gallon water jugs I was like I can fill some of those with regular tap water ( we were in that winter storm here in Texas and I have been through a ice storm when I lived in Kansas) and also buy the regular 5 gallon and we have a filtered water pitcher in the fridge ( I try to not buy bottled water unless I have too and we recycle. My mom for sure said keep them cabinet staples!! Lol legumes, grains rice veggies ( which I could use a few cans here) didn’t realize the craze until recently. I also have a set of grandparents that can items as well lol. I’m always willing to learn.🌺

Thank you for remembering Beau🥰🐾💙

I'm sure you will go through those oats fairly quickly, but please note rolled oats are NOT shelf stable for 25-30 years, only whole grains which have not been rolled or milled are good for long term storage. The rolled oats are good for 6 months to 2 years. Ideally, you should package them in multiple airtight containers sized for using within 2-3 months, limiting air exposure the the whole bag. Insects are are also a much greater risk when dealing with milled or flaked grains, so you may want to put some bay leaves inside each container and or freeze them. 😉

That’s what oxygen packets are for no need to freeze. You can get oat groats too and blend into flour it works better to grind than rolled actually. Oxygen absorbers and moisture packs can’t be used together they fight against each other so to speak so store things well.

It reminded me of waiting for commodities for your hunker hunk 4pds of cheese. & powder milk and 2 pound of butter. Then i was moved from the outside scene to the inside .All the sudden the registers disappeared then a buffet came in view. I could see the foods topped a little over the metal pans. Shelves was empty a few screw bottles that looked like a stores brand name. I use to work in year's of keeping buffets full. I even cooked for them. Pretty much everything in 2 seafood restaurants I worked about 5 years. I wanted to work in retails book & music stores. I've mentioned this dream many times before here in TubeLand.And mentioned other places It looked like the bigger chain stores..!

They also make glass water jugs. Our town has an RO system store. So everyone can check around their city for water stores and see if they have an RO system. I think we fill up 8 five gallons for $20!

One big question in my area is: "What can be easily prepared if the there is no electricity?" Rolled oats, buckwheat, bulgur and couscous are surely the easiest ones to prepare. Nuts and nut butters are a good tip! Another thing that happens to me sometimes is that the critters (or their eggs) are in the package already.
