Three years ago I was in a local big box store. They had an almost full pallet of canning jars that had just gone on clearance. I asked to speak with the manager of that department. I asked him “how much if I buy them all right now?” He sold the jars to me for half off of the clearance price! I bought everything he had. My husband thought I was nuts until this year. I’m still working on those jars.
My aunt went in the nursing home and hubby loaded all 116 cases (dozen each some pints some quarts both regular and wide mouths) of her canning jars into the back of our truck, secured them with a long rope not thinking we would ever need them but boy is he glad now that we got them for our security!
you lucky duck, you!
thats so awesome many stores let you do this you but gotta be ready to spent AND take same day....something similar happened to me 2007 when i was pregnant with my 2nd child...target had baby wipe boxes on clearance for like 50% they probably had 2 1/2 pallets worth left like about 50 boxes per pallet...clearance price $7 each box of 11ct backs wipes ...i got them for $4.25 a box t im so glad i got them my child used them and then other relatives got pregnant and those became baby shower gifts ...such a blessing but yes i coughted up a big amount of money in that one moment but worth it
Great job!
I just returned about a week ago from a trip to Washington State to see my brother before he passed away. Still trying to get my head wrapped around the idea that my brother is gone. I haven't really cared about anything since his passing. Don't care about restoring my jeep, don't care about prepping, every aspect of prepping....I didn't even care about watching any prepping videos. Just difficult to care about anything! I'm watching your video now simply out of boredom, sorry. But this video has motivated me to get back into life, to begin to care again. Care about my jeep, care about prepping, every aspect of prepping. Thank you AP, you truly are a blessing!!
On the brighter side of things, as one life leaves this Earth another one arrives. I have a new grandson born 1st October.
Be safe, take care and God bless.
It is a fact, Sooner or later we hit our expiration date. My dad hit his 3 months back and I can totally relate to you.
@@johnaverick7468 I lost my mom October of 19. I lost my brother September of 20. my dad is still here but for how long? He'll be 84 in December.
Thank you for your response, it is appreciated.
michael wier Bless your heart! It’s hard to lose someone even if you know it’s coming.
@@debbiesavage7107 With my mom we all knew it was coming. But with my brother...complained about 6 weeks or so about being weak and shortness of breath. Was in the hospital for a week or so before he passed. A big shocking surprise.
I sincerely thank you for your response.
@Leopard Woman Thank you
A stocked pantry is a thing of beauty!
LOL you aint lying.
"A stocked pantry is a thing of beauty", also to those people who don't have any of their own preps. Those people are watching all your videos and are secretly figuring out where you live. When SHTF happens, they're all coming to your house. The saying: "Loose lips sink ships" don't just apply to wars.
Indeed.

@@maryisabell8760 If a dozen people show up armed, at your house, because they know that you have food; your life and the lives of your family members, all your bravado, won't be worth 2 cents. Caveat Emptor.
Steady canning, vacum sealing, dehydrating, stocking and prepping as much as my 💰plus time will allow! Thanks for sharing 👍
I just started this August with canning and I started gardening this past April so much fun. This great your getting things done also👍🏽
Same here.👵😊💖
@@deelilgarden8492 I have the exact regimen as you for prepping. This Covid/Election frenzy hit me hard and fast. I never canned before, and my gardens were filled with perennial Flowers! No food! That all changed in April this year when a raised bed and two separate gardens suddenly grew food this summer and fall. I just picked my last tomatoes and peppers this week! I canned plenty garden tomatoes and butternut squash. I saved seeds this year just as I would also save my flower seeds each year.
I only regret, not foreseeing Covid 19, ripping out my raspberries that were crazy wild to make room for my raised bed. I can get another raspberry plant if need be... But by August 2020, I was learning how to waterbath can, was stocking up on jars and other canning supplies, and ALSO going to Detroit Eastern Market on Saturday and bought many things in season my small garden didn't include. I'd bring it home and can it! When I got a Pressure canner, I watched videos and canned bargain buys and from the freezer.
I've developed a desire to continue meal planning thru preservation, as almost None of us have seen the times like we are seeing now.
So many are accustomed to dining out for their meals and snacks, I need to challenge myself to create shelf stable snacks.,

Beautiful 🙌🏾
I never would say you ever bragging. This covid pandemic was a huge eye opener. It freaked out my family. So we are slowly stockpiling now. This is encouraging to see.
Anyone who doesn’t see it coming at this point is a sheep.
A lot of people are coming around.
@@freedomfighter1861 a blind one at that.
Welcome aboard! Times are scary, between pandemic, civil unrest, etc. Election time is going to be intense. Good on you for working on your stockpile. Rudy is a great guy to follow, do try to watch some of his other videos, and he has a lot of canning videos as well.
@@melissac3618 thank you. I've been back tracking his videos for a while now. I used to be a farmer until I was forced to move to the city. So emergencies were no big deal. Now 7 years in the city I'm waiting to graduate before i buy another farm. I was cruising through life. Work, school, then BAM! My kids and I got a huge shock. Now the shock is worn off and we are getting ready.
I buy some extra each shopping trip. Gotten to the point where my biggest problem is a lack of storage space. Feeling confident that I am to the point where all I need to do now is just replace what I use each month. Wonderful feeling!
I hear that - a feeling of security and a habit of preparedness is a wealth all of its own. 😉
I'm going through the same.
CJ Smith food Tetris! I’m getting there, feels great.
CJ Smith : I am at the same level - no more space and just replacing what we are using . My very last items stocking up , was on cake mixes / frostings , candies and pie fillings . Our store here , had $1.00 cake mixes and frostings - and I really bought up .
mary isabell that is a delicious stock up - God Bless you and your stock up 👍
My daughter that was pregnant this year, she went crazy on my green beans that i canned back in 2006. They were still good and it's a good thing because the deer and other critters ate mine this year. Hugs and kisses to all. Stay safe.
@Jewel Clark ya, after i had a stroke it is hard to be as vigilant with the garden. The last couple of years the weather didn't help and the critters are forcing me to garden different.
@Jewel Clark thanks jewel. Putting STD into action.
I didn’t realize they would last that long.
@@rickershomesteadahobbyfarm3291 i know! Canning books only give them a year or two.
God has blessed your family with you, and you with them. I don't prep because I'm a millionaire, I prep because I'm Not!
@Bens Steel The day will come when they will throw their silver and gold into the streets. Great analogy.
@Bens Steel I do not have use for fiat money, gold, silver when people are starving no matter how much they tell you to hoard those metals. Last time the gov took all the gold and silver only allowed the people to keep one item like a wedding ring or necklace from aunt so and so. Stock up and be ready the gov been known to also come in and destroy and burn what you have be that grains, animals ect... Dealing with evil know thy enemy
Your family is very blessed that you are making them feel safe and secure for now and the future. Great man protects his family.
“Mrs. Alaska Prepper” is the cutest thing I’ve ever heard 🤗
I love that you actually live your faith and ideals instead for just talk about it. You have my total respect.
This is a crazy year.... we ended not able to do any preps this year. We moved and have not had time to build a new pantry yet. I feel disorganized right now. I am chomping at the bit to get my pantry back in order again. I can not wait.
You have been such an inspiration. For the last two years since a prophetic dream, I’ve been prepping here in the UK
What was your dream about, did it include the pandemic. Not being funny, just genuinely interested. I dream all the time, very strong and vivid images. Thank you, x
A lot of people have been prompted by God to be aware and to prep.
Hello Penny,
Like you, I had dreams about what is happening and what is to come for the last few years.
Prepare the best you can, everyone! Food, water, warmth, defense, waterproofing and earthquake proofing in areas near fault lines.
Each one, teach one.
@@snapdragon2441 I was shown a world of utter chaos no food or water or electricity. I bought water butts, a Berkey water filter, dehydrator, vacuum sealer and now just got a pressure Canner from America so have been kept rather busy haha
@@Burlesque999 thank you, that does not bode well. Also in UK by the way. Not as well prepared as you are unfortunately. Food is going well, but my biggest problem is family not being on board. We have moved the greenhouse this year and replaced the broken panes. My husband loves gardening so I am trying to encourage him to grow edibles and not just flowers 😐. As far as electricity goes, we often camp without power and have some solar powered lights but we would loose our freezer stock which is where a large amount of our food is stored.
Been stockpiling for 4 years now. This is truly inspiring.
The maxi pads make great wound dressings too.
leopardappygirl and tampons too
No they wouldn’t. Not major wounds. Surface scrapes and minor scratches, yes.
I make shoulder pads with mine
Also fire starter.
Yes the maxi pads do make good bandages, have used them on horses and cattle for years. Need to have the heavy and lite ones.
My family is finally onboard!! They are pretty excited that we are getting a good pantry going.
That's a good nice-sized stockpile of food I keep stop stockpiling I'm starting to hear people keep saying the last two weeks is too late, I've been doing it since June and I am going to keep on going until I can't anymore.
@@timmy0 that's how I feel I am going to keep stockpiling I don't know why people are telling folks it's too late it's NOT too late in my opinion either, every time I watch the foolishness & hear about the foolishness that's going on in the world it makes me go harder I probably will not stop until, I see snow on the ground it gets pretty bad here I don't go out thanks for your comment
Nice looking pantry! I just rearranged our pantry to hold more supplies. Like you it's taken us about 10 years to build our pantry to about 18 months for our family of four. We canned over 700 jars this year and had to add more shelfing to hold all the garden veggies and meats. Still buying more while we can.
Good luck with your family and be safe 😊
I love the message about slow and steady winning the race. People can feel so overwhelmed by the idea of prepping, but it really is a matter of plugging away at it. Buying just a little at a time makes all the difference in the world.
Prepping is a marathon, not a sprint race. Keep going slow and steady.
"No job is particularly hard if you divide it up into small parts"
-Henry Ford
This spring we started to run out of TP, as the only female in the house I figured I was using the most TP, so I cut up old washcloths and kept 2 plastic babywipe boxes next to the toilet, one for clean and one for used. I used this for liquid waste only and saved a lot of paper.
That's thinking inside the box! 😊
Good plan! For a long term situation you can extend this by treating your washcloths in the same way diapers were done in the past. Before disposables came on the market, cloth diapers were rinsed, washed and re-used countless times. With today's prices of t-paper & wipes, more economical over the long run. Plus, think about how much space is saved with a basket of re-usable "family cloths" when compared space needed for the paper alternatives.
BTW, if you do this, you do not need the fancy "diaper pail" solutions offered today for both disposable and cloth diapers. Growing up, (oldest of 5) my mother used a simple bucket with a lid. Same principle if you decide to use family cloths for long term empty store shelves.
While I stock up items like toilet paper for specific types of outcomes ( you never know ), I have also chosen to utilise both toilet attached and portable bidet devices along with suitable cloth based drying application and since cloth wipes are being utilised to pat dry not wipe, they are easy to wash and reuse.
Thank you so much, sweetie.
@@oldtimerlee8820 What did they use for the rinse? I want to say NO MANMADE CHEMICALS, even some that break down in the environment are still kind of a hazard they change the ph, can get into septic, leach fields, kill trees, contaminate drinking water, etc.
Great job reminding people about female sanitary products. People don't think about that enough. I have a teen daughter so I have been stocking up.
Rudy you've done an amazing job prepping. I see you have the band's on your jars. I have found out that the problem with storing my canned jars with the rings on can cause big problems. Keeping the lids on, however I notice you do not have your screwed down, but keeping the rings on your canned jars is this. If your seal fails and you have the rings tight then the jar can reseal itself and you won't know. So, all those new canners please do not store your jars with the lids on tight. And after your jars have sat for 12-24 hours, you want to remove your lids, wash your jars, dry them. Then wash your rings. If you are going to store your jars with loose rings like AP, make sure they are completely dry or it could cause rust. God bless our canners!
Thank you for sharing.
Bands need to come off, period.
I do agree, It's a bad idea, whatever the reasoning
Thankyou good info makes sense I'm new to Canning in England it's not really common but now we have the wake up call named coviditus.
Thank you so much for the information that you share. But most of all, thank you for your kind, respectful way that you pass along these tips and ideas.
Hey AP did you know that Hormel made their first batch of SPAM in 1937. With everyone out shopping and hoarding food they have announced they will be making their second batch later this month....??? 😁
Lololol !!!!!!💞💞💞💞😸😸😸😸
Now that is funny, I don't care who you are. 😆

Storage Shelves: That's a good idea to go back in and add shelves on a DIY setup. Every inch of shelf space counts! I've got a small closet that can use that TLC.
For purchased shelving units, buy an extra unit to get spare shelves. Put those shelves into the remaining of the units. *More shelving in the same footprint.* In my case, I bought 3 units from Walmart which gives me 9' of storage along a wall. Bought a 4th one which increased the shelves from 15 to 20 along that same 9'. Spaced all the shelves to match what I wanted on the shelves. In some cases, only enough room between shelves to store pint jars. Another shelf has space for 1/2 gallon jars. One spot can handle 3 5-gal buckets.
It was well worth the expense of buying that 4th unit. Plus, I kept the leftover upright posts & hardware. If, at some point I need to change this configuration, have everything needed to go back to 4 units instead.
Thanks for sharing!
Oldtimer Lee : Great advice - thanks 😀👍
Everybody keeps saying bidet, what do you do if you lose water? Stock toilet paper anyway. It would make an awesome barter item.
...I don't think bidet is the way to go in SHTF....
Not for a shtf situation but it's good to use now that way when shtf u have all the tp u saved while you had running water😉
Preach it! Can I live without it? Sure. Do I wanna? Hell no! Stock those rolls Donna !! ✊😉
Agree 100% !!! I've had too many hurricane & ice storm power failures along with well pump failures, over the years, to make that kind of investment in something else that uses water. Another downside is that t-paper is often used before and/or something is used afterwards to dry. Plus, women face an increased risk of UTI, when feces don't go in the right direction. Personally, I'd use price of one to buy more t-paper, wipes and/or investing in wash cloths that can become "family wipes" in a long term stuff hits the fan.
Oldtimer Lee voice of experience - nice 👍
Tip for the ladies- look into menstrual cups. They last forever and can easily be cleaned and sanitized. Also reusable cloth pads. Before I had my babies I grew quite a stash of them- most from Etsy.
Menstrual cups are great. There was a little learning curve for the first few cycles, but once I figured it out it was a total game changer. My teenage daughter asked for one and she loves hers too. So much more sanitary, environmentally friendly, healthy, and always available.
Washable, reusable pads are available on Amazon and work really well. There are also patterns for making them yourself.
@@samanthaedavis I wish we'd had such luck! My DD couldn't use the recommended size, much less the larger one. But they're a great invention, and I wish they'd been around when I was still using feminine equipment!
KeDe Glow different brands run different in sizes. You can watch review and comparison videos on RUclips to find the one that might fit her better. I know I had trouble with the regular size one fitting after my first baby, much less the larger size. After my 2nd baby the larger one is more comfortable. I use the Lunette.
I have been using washable pads and period panties for four years now. I was trying to prep for SHTF and bought washables in case I couldn’t get to a store. Then I decided to try them out because I figured it was a good idea to adjust to them before they became a necessity. I started using them just when at home and still used disposable pads and tampons for awhile. I found I liked the washables so much better!!! I made the switch and have never gone back. My daughter also switched. I keep a pack of disposable pads just for her in the bathroom though. During marching band season, she travels for competitions. She uses disposable pads if she happens to be on her period for a competition. Other than that, she just uses washables like I do.
That's is how you do it buy here and there .
When you go grocery shopping buy a little more . This is a great video Thank you for sharing.❤
I found a place that had 4 cases of pint size mason jars and purchased them and I took their last 6 Quart size jars and the last 8 pint size jars that were being sold individually. I intend to to pressure can Saturday afternoon, evening and all day Sunday. You have inspired me to kick everything up a notch in prepping. Thank you for the great video. Be safe.
Thanks 4 sharing n encouraging others! Slow n steady is what most people has 2 do! It can get overwhelming n tiring but people shouldn't give up! I believe that The Good Lord gives his people discernment! 💕
That’s a magnificent pantry.
Way to go AP! 👏
Having a well stocked pantry will really save you. My husband lost his job at the 1st of the year, and was freaking out about how he would provide for his family. I told him not to worry, we have plenty of food & plenty of money in savings to get us by.
Even if you aren't preparing for the end of the world, you should be preparing for things that are out of your control, such as job loss or emergencies due to bad weather, etc.
Thanks again, AP! Love your videos! So how do you eat those Vienna sausages? Just straight from the can or do you cook them somehow? I'd love to hear back from ya! God Bless!
The whole key to prepping is, as you say slow and steady. If you keep adding each week when you do your shopping, you will build up a nice emergency back up supply over time. That doesn't break the bank, As I say to on my channel. I think most of us do it this way, a little at a time.
You did a great job on the pantry !! You did increase the size. Out of curiosity, what did it cost to do that.
If you are asking how much it cost me to add the shelves; I did it will all scrap and reclaimed wood. So it only cost me what I paid for the screws...
@@AlaskaPrepper That's beautiful...
AP you need to put a brace on each shelf in the front to prevent the glass canned items from falling off in case of an earthquake. I live in Mi and I had my hubby put that on each shelf. That canning is a lot of time and money so you don’t want to have to scrape it all off the floor. Better to be safe than sorry just in case.
What she said. :-)
Yep, 20 year Alaskan here, earthquakes are a very real possibility.
SMART!! A ounce of prevention...saves pounds of clean up!!
Eye hooks & binge cords/netting.
I agree! You’ve done such a great job- protect it-
Suggestion on canned bacon. Oven fry on cookie sheet with parchment paper, drain and roll then pressure can in jar for crispier bacon. Have experimented, works well. I understand bacon has many applications, just a tip for crispy bacon.
Cam Met ty for suggesting gonna try.
I would also can the drippings. Delicious for flavoring green beans and fried potatoes, etc. and as an oil for frying.
Thanks for the tip, my pig goes in on the 20th.
Thank you! I have not canned bacon yet, but want to. I appreciate your tip and plan in using it.👵😊🍀🎶👍
@@JT-2012 🐱❤👍
Awesome! I grew up in a family that always canned, and I've canned all my life (every year). My grandmother was a single mother during the great depression, she always preached to us grandkids "save for a rainy day" It's just a lifestyle for us. We hardly ever buy unless it's on sale and when it is we buy a lot, we also always grown as much of our food as possible and can/freeze/dehydrate the extra. I have my grandmother's canning jars as well as some of my mom's and what I have bought second hand at flea markets/yard sales whenever I ran across them. I don't even know how many jars we have, well over a thousand, it's also a habit each time we buy groceries to grab a few boxes of canning lids (till this year, none to be found in our area, a canning community). From my experience with home canned food it's best when no older than five years old (for flavor), jellies and anything sweet (not including honey) that's home canned three years, then it starts to taste blain. That's stored in a pantry room in our house so the temps are not as cool as a cellar, of course the shelf life is longer when stored at a constant cooler temp and in the dark. I say this year qualifies as a "rainy day!"
AP, thank you for the video! WOW, your long term storage is amazing and something we can all easily work towards with time. Like you mentioned slow and steady wins the race. We can all achieve this too with focus, determination and a few preps a weeks. Thank you for educating and inspiring so many!
Hubs and I stream your uploads from our separate accounts to get your channel some extra views and additional 👍 because we believe there is so many more out there who will benefit from your wisdom. God bless you Sir. ❤️
Sending lots of love from Tennessee! -Hedge774 and Meg H
This video makes me happy! I'm an extreme couponer and I'm always prepared. Some people thought that I was crazy for having alot of stuff.
Coffee, just gotta have it. * Though I use instant coffee most of the time, I have lots of coffee filters. The reason is because I put a filter in a strainer, then pour water from my rain barrel through it before the water goes into my Berkey water filter. You'd be surprised at how much sediment the coffee filter catches
Coffee filters can be used on top of powdery stuff, when vacuum sealing using mason jars. Cut the filter to fit and lay on top of powdered milk, for example. It keeps the powder from being pulled into & destroying the pump.
Coffee filters can be used as dusk masks, if nothing else suitable is available.
Coffee filters can be made into tea bags.
Suggest getting 1 each of the cone & regular metal filter basket. Then keeping a stash of the same style paper filters. The metal baskets provide support for the additional paper filters in some situations. I also keep both 4 cup and 8-12 cup sized paper filters. Have both sized coffee makers.
@@oldtimerlee8820 Thanks !!
Martin, we do the same.
Bless you AP! You’re a real man. Your pantry is wonderful and it tells me one thing........This man loves his family to the moon! My fridge just went down and I needed to can like a crazy person. Everyone should give their refrigeration a good look over and clean all coils! I was able to get a thermostat that cost $72 now.......4 months ago it was a $14.99 part......currently looking for refrigeration parts for my set up.
I'm so tempted to convert my 1/2 bath in my laundry room area into a pantry long term food room. Great video, love seeing how people are storing their long term food.
Great pantry, and yes that's years of prepping.
Hi! Keystone canned meats on Amazon today is $11-$12 a can! As of today 10.9.20. You were smart to buy when they were $5
Walmart has, chicken, turkey, and beef available right now, like $6 a can. Limit of 2 for the beef. But they have a 2 pk, so you can get a 2 pk, plus 2 individual, so 4 cans per order.
My Walmart had the Keystone beef and chicken with no limits. I bought three of each because that was all that was in the shelf.
I wish my Walmart carried keystone lol. I have to order it online when they have it in stock. Thank goodness it's the large cans
Right now, at a nearby truck stop some trucker is waking up wondering who stole his trailer load of paper products lol. Love ya brother!!!
Yup. It can be done. It took me a year and a half to accumulate 6 months worth of food!
Oh how I can't wait to move so that I can have a large storage area like that. I live in a tiny trailer and I have a very small amount of space in which I can store things. I already have so much stuff boxed and stacked that you can barely walk through the trailer lol. God bless you AP for all that you teach. May you always be safe, healthy and happy.
Create a crate bed from milk crates! My creation lol. You just zip tie the crates together to the size of your mattress.... Even if it's a twin size you'd be amazed at how much stuff out would hold. I've made 2. It's a lot of stuff n it's hidden in plain sight. You can even put a dust ruffle around bottom to cover crates up.
@@reginamorgan2752 great idea!
@@reginamorgan2752 lol I have already done that. Great idea though. Got the furniture lifts too.
Heads up to begginers...rice ..spagetti and TOMATO PASTE!!!....Its a game changer...tried and tested....Tomato paste is a winner (if you like tomatoes that is) it will transform any bland dried goods😊👍
I am so happy I found you! In March 2020 I started getting serious about prepping. And now I can get inspiration from you, thank you for your encouragement! 👍❤️
Great pantry and stock pile I love it. You are an inspiration I'm stocking up too.
Excellent organization, AP!! Such a good example for preppers, especially newbies. Thanks for sharing all of the hard work you've done over the years to perfectly live up to the name of your channel. Blessings, Dear One. :-D
My great granny would be so happy about the spam lol. This help give me ideas for storing and stacking.
We can't fry up some "luncheon meat" and eat it because of the high sodium content. That said, I've been stocking up on the low sodium version of classic Spam and single serve packs to be used for seasoning dry beans and such. Especially when canning those beans. Single serve more expensive, probably. Worth it for a bit of extra protein and flavor? Absolutely!
@@oldtimerlee8820 single serve for seasoning and soups is a good idea! I'm putting it on my list!
@@patches1483 Thank you for letting me know it's helpful for you. Appreciated!
I'm so glad I woke up at 3am and couldn't go back to sleep. You've been busy!
Nicely organized. I had a close relative tell me that o should do a hobby instead of thinking about canning and what appears to be around the corner. I told them that this was my hobby. I just wish i had the room you do. I live in FL and i'll be lucky if food survives.😒💜🙏
J R My spouse calls food/toiletry prepping my hobby too. At least MY hobby keeps us all well fed and clean lol. Since I buy almost everything on sale, it’s budget friendly too :)
I know I've already commented on this, my 2nd time around but I just have to say how impressed I am with your stocks. Great job on your hard work and especially your time to show and talk with us. Thank you
You make me want to do better. You’re the hard working squirrel who’s preparing for winter. I’m the happy go lucky squirrel who comes looking for a handout when food gets scarce 😃I’m going shopping on payday after seeing this. Great video!!
Thank you for encouraging us all to prep - you are correct slow and steady wins the race. I have enough toilet tissue, coffee, soup, black beans, rice, pasta, veggies, even cat food and litter for up to a year. My freezer has several months worth of meat, and I have several loaves of bread.
So grateful
It is very important to me to have all this on hand as I plan to partially retire in 7 months.
Honestly I've been searching for prepper pantry tour for the past week you read my mind. What a fantastic thing to come home from work to.
I have prepped since being in the military in various amounts since 1988. My preps have helped me get through job loss, health problems and with uncertain times in our country the last decade or more, I began preps even more. I now have what was a small bedroom dedicated as my main prep storage with floor to ceiling shelves, a chest freezer and closet. Our working pantry is in the kitchen with the fridge/freezer. Paper products are stored in an unused large bathroom and a hall linen closet houses a majority of medical/hygiene preps. Basically, any room is a preps area in some way to diversify some of everything in all areas. Home security is also a major area of investment along with security cameras. Like AP, all this didn't happen in a year or two but decades... saving, investing and planning is key. I will prep until I am no longer here on earth. I use 5 to 12 items in my meal plan this week, I will replace and double those items. Can of corn 44 cents, I used one I buy 2 and so on. We save, reuse, recycle, sell items not used for extra funds. Be safe, be kind, prep always and God Bless.
WORST CASE SCENARIO for women ....
Tri-fold a WASHCLOTH.
(Thicker and re-usable.)
Good for over-night
I’m old enough to remember using washcloths in emergencies.
Reusable pads or period panties have been a wonderful change, not great for super heavy days unless you are home and can keep changing them, but so much more comfortable than pads.
And give the wash water to your plants, especially citrus trees
Yep!! Washable pads are great!! I haven’t used disposable pads or tampons in over 4 years.
If I had a dime for every time you said, "ladies and gentlemen..."
I LIKE IT WHEN HE SAYS THAT.
😀🌷😀🌷😀🌷😀🌷😀🌷
😂😂
2 many times IMO. I know it's polite but enough already
@@maemaep9246 I AGREE!
I like it. Very refreshing to hear.
Like minds! I did the same last winter to my pantry. Room for two more shelves this winter. Canning up my freezer to fill them. God bless
Wow, so organized! I have mine divided by closet. One closet of rice, beans, powdered milk, and some canned goods. One closet of veggies. One closet of meat, cheese, and fruit (my master bdrm walkin closet). Kitchen cupboards have extra coffee, tea and oils. Spare room has a shelf of OTC medicines and first aid. I have paper products in the garage. I have a gravity water filtration system, and some solar things for light and power. I've been prepping for 6 years. I've tried to think of everything. I even made a batch of laundry soap with Prepper Princess's recipe. These days, I only have money to replace and top off preps, and to prep for my new kitten. Blessings to all!
Awesome pantry :) love these types of videos cause it gives me ideas!
See this is good lettin people kno how long you been do this and how it starts to add up!!!-💞💞💞💞😸😸😸😸 i started prepping bout 3yrs ago but didnt get serious till bout may 2019 when my gut was telling me something bad was coming!!!! Now i prep steady but not frantically!!!!. Bought a lot of "payday preps" yesterday. Found #10 cans of corn n green beans for $1 at walmart bought a dozen cans. As i open them will dehydrate the leftovers!!! More seasonings, coffee, winter clothes to put up, no canning jars, had ordered pea shooter magazines, cat food!!!! 3 cases black beans @.25 a can!!!! Spaghetti @.50. 2 60oz santizers.
colorado prepper packrat - I love that you’re finding these deals! I always feel like I hit the jackpot whenever I find those #10 cans for $1. 🥰
Been “pay day” prepping for years myself.
It does add up lol
Hi AP, I'm very grateful you are showing and giving the newbies on what & how to prep, slow but steady. You are not bragging at all. I just wish I have all the space to prep all kinds of food and non food item . I'm living in a 2 bdrm apt, so not able to prep too much, but at least some. I have to clean out my junk in my apt to get some more space. I bought 6 family cans from Walmart & out of the 6 cans 4 were some dents and 2 very dented, but the box they shipped to me was not damaged at all. I think they are just sending the dented cans online and maybe selling the good cans at Walmart....who knows. I was not happy about that =(. I've also bought Nutrient Survival and some other freeze dried veggies, meats, butter, eggs etc.... so I think I'm ok, but I don't think it's enough for Q family of 7-8 people and we are all adults, no wee ones, but a cute smart doggie!! Thank you for this awesome video & it's a heads up for us new Preppers. God bless to you & your family! Be safe & stay healthy!🙏🏻😊
To see you this prepared makes me feel so Vulnerable by my meager rushed stock load.
slow and steady wins the prep. just keep doing what you can and dont let comparison slow you to a stop!
If you have the funds, just increase BASIC foods a bit. Yesterday, I bought another 20 lb bag of rice that I plan to vac seal in mason jars. Can't afford to buy a bunch of them, at a time. Yet, gradually our supply of rice is growing. Flour, sugar, salt, dried beans (peas, lentils, bean soup mix), cornmeal, tuna packs ($1 at our Walmart), oatmeal are a few of the basics that come to mind. Walmart has canned vegetables @ $.50 per can. Shop the BOGO sales and put the free item into long term storage. I buy popcorn in plastic bags and store in jars. Less expensive than the microwave stuff. Have a microwave popcorn popper and a stove top popper if the grid goes down.
Shop at all the $ variety of stores, keeping in mind that some of the things sold there are not bargains. Keeping an eye on unit pricing helps avoid overspending at those places. In some cases I prefer the smaller container sizes, as there's less to go to waste if I can't refrigerate, for example.
Store what you eat and eat what you store. The best bargain xyz is almost worthless if you don't like it and won't normally eat it. Because another tenet of good pantry storage is to rotate food storage using FIFO. (First In, First Out). You're not likely to grab that older can of XYZ because you don't like fish or figs. That's $$ wasted, if you bought it because John Smith likes it.
Wherever you go watch for clearance sales and clearance bins. I've saved quite a bit of money by buying meats on "manager's specials" and then canning it. Same thing at one of the Walmarts in my area that often has pantry items in a clearance section. Just be selective, as you don't want 1/2 price dented cans or ripped packaging for example.
Don't get discouraged. Every can or box you can put in your pantry is one step closer to be self-reliant and independent. This journey is indeed, one step at a time. Speaking from experience as I've been on the road a mighty long time.
Every little bit helps :)
Same here 😟
Oldtimer Lee White rice will be good for at least 2-3 years if you leave it in the original packaging and take care to protect it from bugs. All you real need is to keep it in a 5 gallon bucket (new or very clean, not one used for paint or chemicals) with a lid. Use a mylar bag or food grade bucket if you can, but if you don’t have those available, just the regular orange bucket is ok for rice and beans that Rae still in their original packaging. If it can sit on a store shelf for a couple of years with no protection, it can certainly stay safe in your pantry or food storage area when it’s protected from bugs and rodents and light by being in a sturdy plastic bucket. You just want to avoid direct contact of your food with “regular’ plastic buckets that are not listed as food grade.
Thank you as I hope there is hope for those of us who are trying to stock from limited stock items that every prepper channel keep saying is a shortage. This is overwhelming for me but I do appreciate all that you share. My grandparents and parents lived through the Great Depression and they did teach me a thing or two that I am now tapping into.
I like how you write the year on some of your store bought foods, easy to identify, at a glance. I’m going to do this next stocktake. 👏 👍🏼
Hey AP, did the same on the mason jars. Three months ago, topped off the collection right in front of the canning SHORTAGES and wow, am I glad; feel sooooo blessed!!! One day want a pantry that looks similar without meat...lol...as a plant-based person, I stock very little can meat for the kiddos!!! When that runs out, they will have to eat products made with vital wheat gluten in the form of nicely seasoned chicken or beef LIKE products. We will need to grow a garden to balance their pasta and small meat storage. Lol...thanks for sharing.
Retraining myself to quit the paper towel addiction
Washcloths and handkerchiefs are the way to go! Personal cloths to replace TP, and cloth menstrual pads are great for the ladies.
I had a stack of dishcloths I rarely used. Those have become the replacement for paper towels on a daily basis. Just get tossed into the laundry on sheets & towels day.
So in 73 I was a small kid. Mom saw me wiping the floor with her (dish) rag. It was that day I was taught that the different colored clothes were to only be used for specific things. I rarely remember seeing a paper towel. 💙💙💙
We have pretty much kicked the habit. I still keep a roll of paper towels for dog puke. I have a dog with tummy issues.
I haven't used paper towels in maybe 3 years. I did buy a package of "bar mops" but you could just use old hand towels or wash cloths or rags. What I did, was (and still do) is simply neatly fold the stack and place it right by the paper towel holder. This makes them accessible and easy to convert the habit. We grab these for anything from a napkin for dinner, to cleaning up a cat throwup on the floor lol!! I wash them in the towel load in the washer, so it's not an extra wash load, and they get washed with bleach. So no matter what they get used for, they are good to go. Just stop buying them :)
Wow! I really need to step up my game!
This is awesome!!!
I made more ghee last night. You're a great teacher AP😊
I bought a big quart jar of ghee in march from Costco. It was like $23!! We are just about finished with it, but im going to reuse the same jar and refill it
@@ot505 Making ghee is so easy and so cheap. Just follow AP' s video.
@@kathym2501 we made some a few months ago, and used APs video! We were just going to make a bunch more to put away
Thank you for this tour of your pantry. Very helpful!! 😊
Slow and steady wins the race. Amen on that. Our stock up pantry is looking good. We have been stocking up using 15.00 each time. Love this video. It inspires me to keep prepping 👍🙂
What progress you have made! I am now in a small apartment so am limited, but do what I can. Anything we manage gives us a head start on our comfort during these hard times. I got a steam burn a couple of days ago, and realize I need to get some Aloe Vera in my cabinet next time I go to the store. Thanks for sharing you hard work, and great results.
Weeeeell, 36 cycles is 3 years for one woman. You have 2 women there don’t you? Or has Little Miss Alaska Prepper moved out?
I would recommend also getting either some reusable cloth pads or period undies for them. As long as there’s water and soap to wash them, they will last years. With snow around most of the year, I’m guessing washing water won’t be an issue. Don’t buy them without input from your ladies, as they will know what they need way better than you do, but make sure you tell them to get enough to not need to do washing mid cycle, plus an extra 1 or 2 as a backup. They can take a while to line dry if it’s not ideal weather, so they don’t want to run out and need to wash in a hurry.
I just can't decide which ones to buy for my girls. The reusables aren't cheap but I know they are better in the long run.
Carol B it’s a hard decision isn’t it! I ummed and ahhhed for weeks before I took the plunge. I’m very happy with mine, but they’re an Australian company so not sure if you can get them. ModiBodi is the brand if you want to look them up.
For your girls I would suggest narrowing the options down to 2 or 3 brands, then buying them each one pair from each of those brands so they can try them and let you know which is their favourite, then you can buy enough to last the whole cycle of the ones you know they like. The trial ones would do as the couple of extras as backups unless they’re such a bad fit that they’re horribly uncomfortable for them.
Good idea. People forget this is the way it was done back in the days.also white( don't wash them in harsh detergents or bleach)socks stuffed with cloth is good also.Sounds gross but soak the used socks in cold water to remove blood.I say white socks because of where they being used for.
delphine yes indeed. Although from the stories my mum tells, the current options are way more comfortable and less bulky!
The sock method would get you out of a jam for sure, but geez that sounds uncomfortable so it would certainly be a last resort for me! Good point on the white. I got black undies as I didn’t want to see stains, but that also means I can’t actually see that they’re completely clean. Not a problem right now as I know my washing machine does a good job, plus I throw them in a stains cycle now and then which gets absolutely everything out, but if I was hand washing them I would want to see it to be sure I was done.
@@moniquem783 yep the sock can get uncomfortable. I learned back in the day lol don't put to much in the sock. It all depends on your cycle.
Love your pantry, Alaska Prepper! It's a good idea to take off the bands so that if botulism develops, it will break the seal. If you leave the bands on, they can help reseal the jar and you won't know it. Botulism is very rare, but still a good idea to take the bands off.
I love you style much love from germany
I totally agree with with you. Preparedness is the key. Obtaining and storing items in advance of dire need. Along with excellent organization system is trio the way to go not only to save money but put us in control of our own destiny. Thanks for sharing this wonderful and useful information.
Canning Jars: I went to one of our local Walmarts in central North Carolina. They had restocked their canning section. Yes! There was a good assortment & quantity of Ball jars from the tiny jelly jars to a couple of cases of 1/2 gallon. While they didn't have any regular mouth lids, they had a full display case of wide mouth. Even had a waterbath canner! While the urge was great to do otherwise, only bought 3 packs of lids, 1 case of pints & 1 case of 1/2 gallon. I hope this is a sign that food preservation supplies will be coming back, soon. Presto website states estimated availability of their 23 qt pressure canner is November, 16 qt January.
I was lucky in Walmart yesterday too, I check every couple of weeks and was delighted yesterday, I didn’t have enough jars to make applesauce and apple butter...but now I do!
@@jmc2356 Glad to hear that my Walmart wasn't an exception. That someone found leftover supplies in the back of the warehouse or something. Hoping that others will be able to share in our good fortune, too. Thanks for replying.
My store had regular lids and no WM! 😄. They only get one case/box a month and you just have to be there early.
@Scott Howard If you want to make some friends, buy up all the lids because your prepper friends are all desperately looking for them! 😄
I live in Tucson, AZ. The Walmart I shop at has been sporadic stocking canning jars. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I try to grab a box or two each grocery order. To say it's a crap shoot is an understatement!
Respect is what you get ,thats a great pepper. Ive come from a big family and always bought in bulks and sale items. Be prepared for anything is what I say . Ive also help others in need in my area !
They are also good bartering tools◼ yesterday i stocked up on canned goods, rice and pasts. Ofcourse will continue to add every month. I feel much better now that i have a month supply..thank you for these videos◼
You are amazing Alaska prepper. God Bless you
thank you for doing the videos my family tends to think i am crazy but every time i go to a store i buy some extra item to store. since i shop most often at the general dollar i usually spend only an extra dollar. however, you would be surprised at how these items add up...thanks for all the encouragement
Great Channel! For years now people have made fun of my prepping, pressure canning, and keeping my house well stocked with everything we use....now things have changed and they're not laughing anymore they're asking me to teach them how to pressure can, water bath can, dry can (vacuum pack), smoke and dehydrate. It is always wise to have food security, water security, general supplies and constantantly cycle through it adding new products. Better to be safe than sorry. God bless you all. ❤
Another excellent video! You have prepared well for any coming disasters/disturbances. You are an inspiration to us all! God bless you and your home.
AP I’m a family of 6 and what you shared would not be enough for us lol. I’m so glad I started years ago.
I have enjoyed this video to see what he stocked up on.
Glad to see the jar rings are kept loose. I've been doing the same since I was tripping over boxes of rings. Good brand name jars & lids are still available here, so I buy every payday.
Where do you live and what stores have them??
Rudy, your videos are great! From an OLD pepper, I have been prepping since the early 70's when I sold Perma Pac. I am in my middle 70's now and I have been canning since I was 21. I have gardened and canned thousands of jars in my life time. Mother of 6 and other family. In that time I NEVER have lost a quart, ever, and I have canned most everything. And, I ALWAYS leave my rings on my jars. I leave them loose after they have rested 24 hours after canning and wiping them down. Depending on what I have canned I will remove the lid, wash it and the top of the jar and replace the ring loosely. I did not want to take up space with a container full of rings. Keep canning, it is the best way to go. This way you know what you and your family are eating. I used to put up over 1000 quarts a year between canning, freezing, pickling, jamming and dehydrating foods. Most fruits then we were able to get from gleaning. Busy Days!
Get some padding between those glass jars and add a strap at the front. Be prepared for an earthquake.
One can drill holes in the wooden uprights and run bungee cord through them to secure items on shelves. I place my jars on the bottom two shelves. Light items like toilet paper go on top shelf.
I was thinking adding bungee cords along the front, hook and unhook for easy stocking.
Yes I second this! It was a miracle I didn't lose any jars during the Nov 2018 quake that rocked the mat-su! Old socks work great between
Not everywhere has earthquakes. But obviously prepare if you are in such an area.
@@SirenaSpades guess I'd plan for it anywhere because you just never know. Those prepared are often spared...
When you showed where the tree hit your trailor, I saw light, at minimum seal it up with either some fire stop, or that foam stuff so nothing gets in.
Be careful getting too much Carnation Evaporated milk. We found out the hard way that it will not last long term. Also Pastor Joe Fox had a large stock of evaporated milk that went bad just like ours.
That stuff doesn't last
Funny timing! I just rotated and reorganized my pantry. So glad I did! Almost done restocking too. I have 5 years of Food for Patriots long term food (which is great tasting) in another pantry in my home. Prepping is so important! Thank you so much for sharing your pantry!
Hello Fairbanks from North Pole!
....lived on Badger Rd North Pole AK....late 90s when they were rebuilding Badger Rd.....Knight's grocery store...LOVE....
Something so respectable about a man prepping menstrual supplies for his lady❤
Thank you for showing us your back up storage foods. I have a bit of stuff stocked up to, but i hope one day to get it as organized as yours.. I deffenantly need to have more shelving.. I will eventually build some now that i have bought my self a hand saw and built my very first planter box on my front porch its 24 in deep and three foot wide. It came out really good for my first project.. Looking forword to doing shelfs this spring...
Beautiful!!
I have always put up the harvest. But about 3 years ago, i started. Litttle by little i have a beautiful pantry makes me feel so good. Be prepared, not scared.
