  As a santitation and food safety specialist...do not leave scoops in your buckets, unless, you handle with a clean pair of gloves each time. Cross conaminatuon from your hands on the handle that then lands on the food, can and will cause issues. I am impressed by your rotation policies. We call it fifo..first in first out

  Kylene: I would put sleeping bags in air tight bags. I have used vacuum storage bags for years to reduce the volume of linens in my closets. I use them when we travel to hold my king size pillows. My husband once bet me that I could not get my pillows into my luggage. Bad bet for him. I used my vacuum bags which are made to be attached to a vacuum cleaner wand to reduce the size of 2 king pillows down to just 2" by the width of my suitcase. They sell them at several places, I buy mine at Dollar Tree or Walmart. They make it easy to store items safe from water, dust and bugs. Unfortunately they are clear (light can get in), which if you are lazy about labeling is a plus. The bags have a zip top on them and have a valve on top where you place the vacuum hose and when the items is completely compressed you place on the cap or tighten the cap. When you need your items just open the bag remove the contents and watch the item grow back to its original size.

  I used to live in SE Idaho where it got down to -20. I used an old small fridge and it worked great. Used it for years. I dug a pit so the top/door when laid down sat 4 inches below ground. I drilled holes in the back for ventilation. I lined the pit with black plastic. I laid the fridge in the pit with the door up, black plastic would be able to fold over it to keep water and snow out. Lined the bottom with some straw. Filled it with potatoes. Eventually I took some old plywood and shingles and made a roof/covering and had it slope a bit and covered it. The cellar worked like a champ. I had potatoes into June the next year. No problem with freezing.

  I hope you guys go back and check comments on old videos because...inspired by YOUR success, I managed to grow my first crop of garlic and harvested it last week. (It was about a month earlier than expected, not only for me but for other youtubers I have watched.) I planted hardneck and will do hardneck again because of the storage issue. My HR FD has been out of kilter now for many months and I gave up on that. Garlic happy!!!

  What you did here is absolutely awesome. We have been considering rabbits for quite a while. I bought a processed one from a local grocery, cooked it well, but yech we did not like it at all. I know we could get used to it if we had to, but for now, we have tabled that idea. We purchased chicken processing equipment and are due to process our first batch of chickens in a week! But rabbits, yeah, quiet, really really cheap, once you have a good infrastructure set up. Thank you for this.

  @@TheProvidentPrepper Yeah, no friends, no support here on my end. IF I have to, I will learn to like rabbit. Somehow. In the back of my mind I am tucking away ideas as to how I can get a couple rabbits if things go BAD FAST if you know what I mean. I love your setup. I have seen the system of individual cages and the mess, watering, feeding each individually etc. Looking forward to your video on how to build this setup! And Kylene, I have to say that I have been mentally preparing for the chicken thing. I am like you...not built for the cone and the knife part. But, at my old age I think it is time I take responsibility and suffer through those feelings. If I cannot do it again, well, at least I tried. I do not make eye contact with the meat chickens. I do not make emotional contact. As much as possible I keep a hard-nosed business attitude. We shall see...

  This is such a great idea, and I never thought of it. I have had to consolidate three households into one in the past 7 years so I have a LOT of stuff, a LOT of bedding and blankets. Since a couple January's ago when we were stuck on our farm with no heat, no electricity, propane and generator failure, no water, no exit, you name it, in one of the worst snow storms in our history, I cannot get myself to get rid of any blankets, having a very raw memory of what it is like to be cold day and night. I now have a whole wall of blankets stored in zip up storage bags from amazon LOL! I will vacuum store the best of them (too many to preserve with expensive mylar bags) and not worry about them deteriorating.

  Like my mom before me, I store the winter blankets/comforters between the mattress and the box spring. All the guest beds have plastic mattress covers that envelope the entire mattress completely with a zipper. The box spring has a plastic cover over it (like a giant shower cap) as well. I don't worry about dust mites getting into the bed mattresses, so I have no issue storing the extra stuff between them. Nope, nobody ever said a word about the plastic, but that is probably because I also put the quilted mattress protector over the top before putting fitted sheets on the bed. When my kids were little, many, many camping supplies and winter personal items were stored in the plastic bags you use a vacuum cleaner to remove excess air. I even used it on suitcase packing back before 911. You would be surprised how many more clothes will go into a carry on with the air removed. IF you live in a hurricane zone, such bags can be a life saver for things when you have to bug out and leave them until the storm passes. You don't want to be trying to load your entire closet into your car. Instead just vacuseal the clothes that you are not taking.

  Just got me a trailer and i have 3 heavy duty sleeping bags that take up alot of space in a small trailer, they're clean and dry and double bagged in black garbage bags,but they took up alot of space. I had to remake my bed after i washed the sheets after an accident from my grandaughter of being sick and i got the idea of laying out the bags under the mattress. Took the mattress off, unzipped the bags and layed them out flat and had to fold over the edges cause they're wider unzipped than my bed. Then i put the mattress back on and made the bed as usual. My sheets aren't made for trailer beds, they have deep pockets so now the sheets fit i have three sleeping bags handy and a more comfy mattress and you wouldn't know there are 3 sleeping bags in that trailer just a nice fat comfy mattress.

  I like to see just how much food I can squeeze out of whatever... Example: A Roasted Chicken 1) Cut it up into different cuts-Sliced Breast for dinner or sandwiches, chunked for Casserole or Pot Pie, Bits & Bites for Chicken Salad, Soups & Stews. 2) Cook the bones & carcass in the oven @ 350°\1 hour then boil in water with the skins and a splash of Apple Cider Vinegar. Add vegetable scrapes that were saved in the freeze from previous meals to make broth to drink or make soups, stews or gravy. 3) Refrigerate broth, so the the fat floats to the top and can be removed for rendering and canning onto Chicken Schmaltz (a butter replacement). *Note most Bones & Vegetable Scrapes can be reused at least 3 times, just cool, ziplock bag it & toss in the freeze for the nutritional boost in your next batch of broth. After the third usage, the Chickens recycle the vegetable scrapes into eggs & fertilizer for us. Bones can be partially dried, grounded and add to the compost bin.

  I'm a quilter in the winter. Summer is for riding my horses, gardening/canning/dehydrating/ etc. However, even though I make beautiful quilts to while away dark and cold months, I just adore polar fleece blankets. Use those JoAnn's coupons, look for polar fleece on the 70-percent off tables, etc. I've bought matching-ish patterns, stuck batting between them, and sewed in straight lines to hold the three layers together. You could add the satin blanket binding if you wanted to be fancy. Most of the time, I just put a couple yards on my bed, on the back of the sofa, around a dog bed that is getting worn, etc. So many uses. It doesn't fray so you don't need to do anything to the edges. It washes and dries like a breeze. Actually, I never use the dryer except on certain spring or fall days when it isn't cold enough to run the wood stove, and it's too damp outside to dry things in my greenhouse. Well, actually, I avoid doing laundry on those days if possible. But I'm in the Northeast, so we could have a week or more of dreary weather. I have a folding wooden dowel clothes rack. You could also use extra blankets to cover up your canned goods to keep them in the dark. Oh, I also keep a stash of mylar rescue blankets. I use them in the hoop house (no wind in there with the doors shut overnight), if it might frost. I have them in my trucks, and in the house.

  Meh. Sorry, but I'm not a fan of Mylar for large things = too expensive, typically single-use and not resilient against punctures or other damage anyway Alternative: Compression (or sometimes 'stuff') sacks - available at camping/hiking stores - meant for down sleeping bags, but applicable to many tasks. After sun-drying (summer job): * Place in your clothing or bedding etc * Stuff it manually in as tightly as you can * Pull the 4 straps tight with all your strength Job done! * Most moisture already removed by solar energy * Most oxygen already excluded by manual compression * Volume is as small as you would ever get it with a vacuum device NOW you can stick those packages in totes, pails, whatever, with EITHER a few oxygen absorbers OR a few desiccant packs, as local conditions dictate. No waste, because everything can be reused when winter comes.

  We list contents of the tote on an index card and affix it to the visible side of the tote with a self-adhesive index card pocket. Call me OCD: coats are listed in brown ink, blankets are listed in blue ink, winter gear like hats, mittens, scarves, and wool socks are listed in red ink. You could use different colors of highlighter to do the same thing. I just happen to love Sharpie fine point colors!
