I have been looking at these & wondered why no one used a 120MM fan instead as I use 120mm Delta Fans on everything lol mainly my computers which are 240 CFM fans that run at a max of 60W each & get the job done never needing full speed even when I game. They would be great for something like this.
I still boil the jars and lids... l would not want to risk it, regardless how regulation changes... old school is best ..
I’m thinking about buying but worried the medication won’t last long and it’s really for a long term emergency kit. Would you recommend this for that purpose?
These types of kits are basically sold for "just in case" purposes, like an emergency kit. It's true that drugs aren't effective forever, though it's been proven that most types will still be some level of effective long after the marked "use by" date. I personally am a big fan of having one of these kits on hand, whether it's this one or the Jase version.
@@GreatLakesPrepping ok great thanks for answering.
FYI. When operating, as the pump evacuates air there is less and less air in the jar that the pump has to push out so there is less load on the motor and it speeds up. When the sound levels off the pump has reached its maximum vacuum and you can shut it off. My knowledge comes from working for a manufacturer of fractional horsepower compressors and vacuum pumps for over 30 years.
Great idea. I need something simple that's easy to break apart and put back together. Thanks for the tutorial.
I have a question, why do you have a wire running from the negative side on the battery to the positive side?
I don't recall anything like that. Where in the video are you seeing that?
Ty for making this vid. Valuable info!!
Can you store water in Mylar bags?
It would technically work, but it's not the ideal storage vessel for water.
I like the way blanching brightens the color of vegetables.
Купил турецкую хурьму там эти пакетики лежат , думал сахар положили , чуть в чай не насыпал
Yes, there is an expiration date printed at the bottom of the can, but it is very hard to see... I had to use a magnifier and extra light. But, of course, I am no 20/20!
Probably the bristles is soft.
Maybe you overcooked the blanched..throw them in minus the blanch time? Great vid
Buy an electric butter churn,it will be much easier and faster. You will save your back. Love the experiment. Thanks for sharing 👍.
John can I store a pistol in a mykar bag to keep it for a long time?
I don't see why not, though you might also want to throw a couple desiccant packs in there as well. Also, make sure the pistol is freshly cleaned and oiled (oil protects from corrosion).
Great information. Do you think that the battery or another would fit in the front hatch area?
A smaller battery, like a lithium ion or maybe lithium phosphate would fit in the front hatch. A big one like mine definitely wouldn't.
How about doing the ammo up in Mylar bags without the oxygen absorbers? The reason I ask is because I have loads of Mylar bags but I've run out of O2 absorbers, and since I'd like to do this as quickly as possible, I'm wondering if the O2 absorbers are absolutely necessary for doing up ammo this way.
I wouldn't think they are absolutely necessary. Keeping moisture away is the most important thing, which the mylar will handle. But it could be argued that if you were aiming to store ammo for years or decades, removing the oxygen just takes out one more ingredient that contributes to corrosion. Since many people store their ammo just in a standard can without any mylar or O2 absorbers, I'm inclined to think it'll work fine.
@@GreatLakesPrepping Thanks, Great Lakes.
Guy who figured out how to grow them, back in the 80s, was killed...go figure
How long do these last once processed?
If stored properly, the contents will likely be good for months or years. My personal rule of thumb is 12 months. Some people go years.
Gold. This is gold information dude. I'm looking to grow most of my calories in the near future, and one of my staples i expect to be potatoes. Stuff that starts going bad in the root cellar (after i construct it anyway) will be saved! Thank you
I've seen videos where you can vacuum seal mylar bags with just a strip of the rigged piece from vacuum bags. Haven't tried it myself though.
7:45 mark.
I've been advised against using oxygen absorbers by a number of people. Moisture absorbers yes, 02 absorbers, no.
I've never heard anyone advise against using O2 absorbers for storing dry things. Do you have any idea why they advised against it?
Hi. What fan description details i could use to buy other fan brand? Or if you know another more economic brand
I was the 556th person to like the video 556, i think that's a lucky number. unless it's coming right at me, anyway.
"food preservation for me is an exercise of NOT using refrigeration" thank you bro. thank you. so many of these videos i've come across are like "easy pickles!" and they make something that's only stable, while refrigerated, for a couple weeks. not what i'm looking for. what's the point in making pickles if not shelf stable? i need more information like the stuff you've got going on. thanks for the content
bro i wish i could cut cucumbers that fast
If you use smoked neck bones instead of those fatty hocks, there won’t be so much fat. And why use hocks only to discard them? Strip off the fatty rind and take the meat from the bones. It is good.
Cheap waterpower generators use distilled water, Used in cooking. Drinking. Not much benefitable things in water that is not found in food.
On my boxes there are NO LINES ON BOTTOM FOR SOIL LINE. Grrr.
I have one of these. The instructions say to fill the soil to the “soil line” and fill the water to the “water line” however there is ONLY 1 line so it doesn’t make sense.
I like the way you presented the whole process and the numerous less-then-perfect planning illustrated. We all can easily make all these improvements after watching yours. I do, however, think that if you have a way to isolate the bottom layer of lumber from the wet lawn will stretch the life time of the raised bed by years. Also, I have lined the inside frame with PVC sheets so that no wet soil sees my garden frame, like a personal preference.
Keep checking your sealed jars. Mine didn’t stay sealed and I had reseal with my food saver . Wouldn’t charge at 100 per cent.
Thanks for following up!
Thanks just got mine and it looks like it will be fine. Nice deno👍🏼
Why would you seal rice?
To protect it from oxygen, moisture, and pests. I'm still eating rice that I sealed over 10 years ago and it's just as fresh as the day I bought it.
I don't like anything pickled, but my husband does. Looking forward making this for him!
Alcohol stove is easy to make out of pop cans and bottle of Heat fuel additive gives you a stable and long lasting form of cooking
Thank you for this video - I've watched it several times and now I am canning - as I type! This vid helped me so much!
You're welcome!
Thanks for not going on and on but getting right to the point some videos talk to much before giving yhe facts.
A very intelligent man to learn from. Highly recommended to watch!
An excellent video to watch. Well done! This gives you a clear picture on how to create your own effective distiller from nothing practically. No need to buy expensive fancy ones out there that are not as efficient as this. Better to make your own for sure! He gives a very practical and scientific approach to creating one of the most efficient distillers I've ever seen. I have wasted money buying a couple and they are not even close to as efficient as this one. I'm going to use the parts I have and modify them to achieve these kinds of results. Highly recommend it to watch this!
Thanks friend, I appreciate your comment!
I have been stealing shanks from my hunting buddies for years - their loss my gain. Now a moose shank is just as delicious and will feed a family - just think a grown man’s calf roast
Nothing wrong with some free shanks!
i never see actual german videos using milk, only egg (and sometimes water)
Looks very yummy. And by making your own freezer fries, You are making healthier fries by using either Olive oil or Avocado oil plus any seasoning of your choice. This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing this healthy tip.
the system i use is a 12v 100ah lifepo4 battery in a case like yours but my dream station cpap has a 12 volt cord so no invertor needed and no invertor loss. i also have a 100 watt solar panel on my car roof and another folding 100 watt solar panel. you only want to run a lead acid battery down to 50% or you will shorten the life of the battery. you can run a lifepo4 battery down 100% with no damage.
Thank you. Canning potatos was easy thanks to you
You're welcome, glad to hear it!
Lol
So so easy - thanks for sharing
Add cotton ball in a bowl of water last way longer
