Not everybody has a gun, even though most people nowadays do, but not everybody has hundreds, or thousands of ammunition crates stacked, upon thousands of ammunition crates. Not everybody is prepared, but also, not everybody knows or has been trained on how to aim and shoot properly. Not everybody has stocked up on food & water either. Not everybody has trust & security in large numbers. Not everybody has a backup plan. Not everybody has great optimum physical dexterity or has brains. Not everybody has robotic soldiers. Not everybody has an underground bunker when shit hits the fan. Not everybody is a prepper. Not everybody knows how to grow their own food. Not everybody knows how to sleep with one eye open. Not everybody is at least bilingual or trilingual and knows how to negotiate when necessary. Not everybody knows how to safely poop & shoot crouched in the forest, whilst balancing wiping with leaves in one hand and holding a gun in the other. Not everybody knows what to do when they come into contact with Negan. Not everybody knows that garlic has antibiotic properties. Not everybody knows the health benefits of CBD. The ones with the guns who have also prepared themselves adequately will have the best promising outcome of survival.

Another good skill a lot of people should learn is how to salvage a meal gone wrong. Example. Who has over cooked rice? Come on, we've all done it. That mashy mushy exploded rice kernels of blegh. What you need. Strainer, cheese cloth or piece of cooking cotton cloth. Put cloth in strainer. Put in rice goo. Treat it like you're making farmers cheese.Get all that extra moisture out. Mix in whatever spices, herbs you want. Heat a pan with some butter or a little oil. Use your rice paste and made patty cakes put of it. Fry them in the pan like you do home hash browns. Is it the best thing in the world. Nah. But as my grams says "No meal is truly ruined until it kills you." Knowing how to salvage food is a damn good skill to have.

Or you can use that rice to make a desert-like rice pudding. Just need to add; sugar or honey or syrup, either cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves (if not all 3 spices) milk (be it canned or reconstituted dried milk) eggs (regular or dried) butter (regular, canned, or ghee), vanilla extract, raisins or dates or nuts and bake. Or make it into a cereal for breakfast or dehydrate it and ground it to either make into a cream of rice porridge or rice flour. Or add that rice to a watery soup to thicken it into an almost stew. The possibilities are endless.

For dried staples, like rice, flour, oats and legumes, store the new sealed packages in your freezer for a few days to eliminate weevils. For canned foods, check for a bad smell. If it’s smelly, or tastes weird, ditch them. Always ROTATE your food items when you purchase new replacements.

A lot of my family members refuse to eat any food past the best buy date. It would be impossible to talk them into prepping. I want to help them, but I don't think I could ever get enough to keep them supplied. About all I might be able to do is share seeds, and help them start a garden if things get bad. I wish they would stock more supplies. I barely talked them into stocking up before the virus hit, and the store shelves were empty, and they still haven't changed their mindset.

My grandmother use to can a lot of their vegetables, fruit from their garden and some meat every year. She eventually stopped due to old age but had a lot of jars of food left in the basement that was basically forgotten. When she passed away and the basement was cleaned out, the canned food was still good to eat and it had been sitting there a good 15-20 years if not longer. It’s definitely a good thing to get into if you’re a prepper or really anyone wanting to save money.

This is one of the best videos ever. You go out of your way to help and i appreciate you.

Decades ago everyone knew that canned foods would last 25 to 30 years for some reason in the last 10 years that fact has been hidden And maybe it's a good idea to buy canned foods or processed foods during the fall when temperatures are cold rather than hot

I would like to bring up an important survival point. I'm a farmer and on my mothers side they were farmers in Germany for MANY generations. They did not have any electricity back then. So they "pickled" everything (meats and vegetables) in clay ceramic crocks. My grandfather back in the day had so many meats and vegetables pickling in crocks on his bar he ran that people LOVED eating them even years later. I'm not talking about fake vinegar canning. I'm talking about USING lacto bacteria to preserve food long term (tastes like a GOOD fresh pickle). The way bacteria pickling works is whatever bacteria culture gets a head start in your pickle will kill off and EAT all the other pathogens. Lacto bacteria produce lactic acid which gives you that great pickle taste. Furthermore whatever vegetables/spices you add will have their flavors powerfully infused into whatever your pickling. Even though we got refrigeration later real pickles are such a delicacy in our family everyone loves them and they have 200x the beneficial bacteria as yogurt! If you plan to make your own home made pickles you MUST read up on it online as doing it willy-nilly wrong can allow botulism. You take my advice at your own risk! Lazy/stupid can backfire so read up online! Some suggestions here (this doesn't substitute your own research) from a old time pickler. You will need fresh water with no sterilizers/contaminates. My water is PH 7.5 and base water. You will need salt with NO iodine in it (iodine kills lacto bacteria). I recommend pickling, sea, or Kosher salt. Lacto bacteria is killed/slowed by light. To deal with this pickle in a light proof crock or a mason jar (what I use) you place in a light proof pantry or cover with aluminum foil to block light. Your first pickle should be a vegetable with lots of sugars. I recommend organic corn (tastes a lot like sauerkraut), okra (my favorite pickle), or hot peppers. Because you can use these later as "bacteria starters" in your meats and less sugar rich vegetables. Use 2% salt based on water and product weight (I sometimes use 2 heaping table spoons salt to a quart jar). The old saying passed down for generations is "Below the brine everything fine!". If done right botulism can't grow below the brine (salt helps inhibits it and favors lacto bacteria). Using mason jars I PACK my jars tight enough that vegetables hold each other tight and will not float. If you are doing something like corn I cut a cabbage leaf as a cap and use a glass weight to hold the cap down. Anything that floats can mold (you'll have to scoop it or pitch). For most things "Wait 30 days!" Tasting early will have have other bacteria (till the lacto eats it all) that taste bad. Also DO NOT remove your mason lid during pickling. Put your lid on SOFTLY! You want the co2 (heavier than air) to push out all the air without letting any more air inside during the main pickle phase. If your lacto bacteria rids your jar of air it is less likely to mold/yeast. Once you have your first pickled vegetables you can use them as "starters" in your meats and non sugar vegetables (I sometimes add a tsp of sugar to a pickle with a starter). My favorite spices to add to pickles are dill, garlic, mustard seeds, black pepper, bay leaves, and anything else tasty. I put them on the bottom of the pickle jar and add salt to the top before adding water. I pickle in the basement pantry at 65F-75F degrees. Pickled corn and peppers in fresh salsa is one of the best flavors ever (done in 5-7 days with a starter). Bad home water will cause your pickles to fail. Learning REAL pickling can help you save perishable foods over winter in a grid down situation. As a experienced pickler can preserve near EVERYTHING without electricity or manufactured goods.

Food banks here in Canada 🇨🇦 do not accept 'expired' non-perishables, which is a shame. Excellent video.

Do a video on rice, pasta, flour and cans of fruit like this one please.

I found some canned foods in the back of my pantry when cleaning it out last summer and they were outdated by about five years I went ahead and ate them anyway it was peaches and corn and stuff like that and it was all very very good .

I recommend if you are using glass jars and canning your own food, put them inside freezer Ziploc baggies (stronger) once they have cooled down. This will prevent them from shattering all over the place if there were to be a natural disaster, or if the jar did not seal correctly and explodes, therefore preventing spread of botulism, which both are rare, it will also be readily available if sharing the content with someone else. The baggie serves a minimal of three purposes. Definitely a win-win situation. Always remember to pray over your food, I am most certain, we will be very reliant upon God when the SHTF.

That was really thorough and well needed. Thanks for the reminder!

One of your best videos Canadian Prepper. 10/10 content.

I've been experimenting for years on canned food. If kept cool, dark and dry almost everything will last way over the expiration date. The only category I've found to be close to accurate is tomato products. Tomato sauce, ketchup, etc will start to break down the cans and salsa and ketchup darken. Things like peanut butter are good, I'm eating one now that's 3 years expired but once food is opened it will start to deteriorate and needs to be consumed sooner rather than later. Thanks for the informative video!

Same goes for many medical items. When I first got into medicine, many things did not have exp dates. Now, everything medical has an exp date. But realistically, if it is sterile, it will remain sterile if the packaging remains intact.

Tins of Chilli were still good, everything really except a veggie curry which had solidified from its normally runny consistency but i still ate it although it had a slight metallic taste.

The perfect video for an evening with lentil soup I found in the fridge after I wanted to eat that days ago before it goes bad.

I have an old Time Life Book on "Food And Nutrition" printed in the mid-1960s and according to one account, a steam boat in the Mississippi River sank in 1859 and when she was found in 1957 it was discovered that she was carrying a supply of canned foods and the cans ARE OF SUCH GOOD QUALITY THAT THEY ARE STILL IN GOOD CONDITION and upon opening scientists tested them and found out that the canned foods are STILL SAFE TO EAT!

I'm glad you covered humans eating raw meat. I was abandoned in a forest area as a small child under 10 years of age and befriended a pack of wild dogs. When I was living with them, the only thing I had to sustain myself was the blood of any game they took down and whatever gristle I could get off the bones once the dogs were finished. Many years later when I explained this to several professional people they were almost in disbelief. Some advice though if you are ever caught in this situation. Don't drink the blood of an animal until you are full as it causes massive nausea and constipation from the amount of iron. Also, it tastes sweet if it is an herbivore, but probably because I had nothing sweet for weeks. Additionally, do not attempt to warm yourself by hanging out next to and snuggling up against the carcass as you will be covered in blood and freeze more later. Finally, gristle is very very difficult to get free with human teeth and not very filling, but it does give your mind the feeling of getting something into you. Dogs are wonderful companions to keep you warm however, even wild ones. I was later found by a hunter just before succumbing to hypothermia several weeks after being abandoned. (I lost my pack) It was the first day of hunting when I was found and quite likely would have been my last day on earth if not for them. Thank you again for reminding me that there are resources no matter what.

The glass "canning", yes I would agree it could last longer than the person who canned it! The metal cans I have run my own experiments. I have kept cans of food for 10yrs and opened at the 5yr and 10yr date. I have found that the more acidic the food, the less likely it is to last. The acid in the food corrodes the solder joint in the melt can, and it does spoil the food. Tomato past was the worst and not edible (though I was not staving at the time). Corned beef lasts for 10yrs +. Really enjoy your video's, thought provoking and most of the time not too much "crazy talk", Thank you.

Great video, I shared with all my family member, bunch of scardy cats Reuse, recycle and reduse waste Side line, save 💰

There is also a third way of canning or preserving my grandma and mum used to do it, they cleaned the jars and then heat the jars in the oven up to the temp desired, while this was going they would be cooking the food , fruit or tomatoes etc, and then open the oven door let the jars cool a bit, using oven mits or gloves pull the jars out one at a time and put the hot food into the hot jars, then put the lid on, as it cooled it would seal itself, and once cool they would put the rings on and then store them away.

It is all about the conditions the commercially canned food is stored in. Cool, dry environment where the temperature remains steady throughout the storage period is greatly preferred.

If you haven't got a canning bath setup of some kind, try hot packing. Pour hot contents or your food with very hot water into a warmed glass jar and close with a screw lid containing an intact seal, or a lid with a ring. The lid will audibly "pop" when the oxygen is gone and the contents are tightly sealed. I love to repurpose pickle jars for hot packing.

Super interesting video man, keep up the great work. I came across your channel about a month ago and have been binging my way through. I live in ND and I feel like a lot of what you cover isn’t just broad and all encompassing but it’s nice to see you add in region specific info (like considerations for northern climates).

Opinion: I would just like to add that I have researched this exact subject for about 2 years. There are numerous reports that the cans with a "PULL TAB" just do not seal as well as conventional sealed cans that require a "can opener".....thus more inclined to go bad and make you sick or kill you. I would also like to say that my late 95 years old mother (who lived through the Great Depression and WW2) had a saying about canned food........"It's good till it's bad". Meaning she ate expired canned food all the time and if it passed the smell and taste test,,,,,,,it was good no matter when it expired.
