Get yourself a few cats! We haven't had any problems with mice once feral cats showed up. Someone dumps ferals around here, and we have three now. They do a great job, and we feed them too.
@@kmb6519 we already have more than we want. The bad thing about living here is feral cats are protected. So they dump them everywhere. The ones who live around here are very wild.
I'm from the south, and I just love your accent! I especially like how you say "Walmart". I also appreciate how you always look nice and put together in your videos. I think it shows how much you respect your viewers. Thank you for all your great, no-nonsense advice!
Jinnie, the cost of freeze dried foods is HUGE! What are your thoughts on a freeze drier? I’m seriously considering it 🤷🏼♀️ Brake pump is a MUST HAVE! Great tip! YES it’s unhinged PERIOD!
Hey Jenny great video! Could you do a video how to water can meats so we can all be prepared in case of an shtf situation. Thanks and by the way love your channel 😁
Thanks for sharing these great tips. Your jar of potatoes is lovely, what kind did you can? I always seem to have such starchy potatoes and they don't look as nice. Thank you. Catherine
Jinnie- I have a question about the bulk freeze dried foods. If I open them and create some shelf stable veg soups (stuff like that - no meat) and vac seal my jars- appx how long will my jars be good for?
Thanks, Jinne, for these tips. Does anyone know if a plastic jar of mixed nuts (Aldi's Southern Grove, 1 il., 14 oz.) can be stored in a freezer as is? Or should the nuts be put in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers? Thanks for your feedback.
I put nuts in the freezer in original container. As long as not cardboard it should be fine. Decant into glass jars or ues bags they will be ok for 6 mths at least. I decant milk into glass jars for the freezer and put jars of fresh chopped herbs in. Nice to have fresh herbs sometimes.
Yes, the sooner you get it sealed up the longer it will last... if you open it and immediately seal it up, I would say I will still last for 25 years, if it's already sat out a few days or weeks, I'd add a moisture absorber to give it as much life as you can.
Isn't it an absolute SHAMEFUL thing that greed has filled the heart of food producers here? Your right, I have screamed it from the rooftop about sugar being $8.00 in Jan. 2020, and yes I just paid the same here in Texas. $20.00
@HomesteadCorner Please research that. It is not approved and you're taking a risk with your family water bath canning low acid foods. It needs to be pressure canned to completely kill botulism spores.

Be sure to spay/ neuter them or you will have more than you want😻

We have feral cat's as well. My husband made them a tire tower to keep warm this winter.
These cats get parasites from rodents. Dewormers are cheap. Sneak it into some wet food.❤

Agree with you 💯🤩
Been so busy keeping up with the floods I’ve not watched too much else lately! Keep up the good work!
Hope you are safe!!

Pretty cool info. I will come back to this again, obviously. Thanks
I keep dollar tree humidifiers in my pantry in east texas
In central Texas here. And why didn't I think of that. Duh? 🤦♀️😅
Virginia does this too! ❤
Thank you so much for your time to explain all this!! I'm working on my dried goods in jars first. I grew up with water canning.
Great info. Thank you for sharing.

GREAT INFORMATION , THANK YOU JINNE
Valuable information J. ❤
Good info. Thank you
Great video, thanks for all your hard work making the videos
A great informative video as normal. Thank you for all you do.
Thanks, appreciate you! 😊
Thank you. Questions answered.
Excellent advice as always Jinne. 👍
TFS HC, take care & keep really busy everyone. ❤️🙂🐶
Great common sense advice! I agree with you, Jenni 😊
Thank you for the tips
Thanks for the tips ❤❤😊😊
FIFO and myself have an ongoing battle. Probably my biggest hassle in the storage room.
Good video, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
I wish they made square stackable glass, vacuum sealable containers!
Great video Jinne. I noticed you have the MRE mylar bags. Can you suggest some homemade recipes for those? Many blessings.
All of our meal in a jar recipes would fit in there., and those can be done with freeze dried ingredients or dehydrated. 💕🇺🇸
Jinnie- I have a question about the bulk freeze dried foods. If I open them and create some shelf stable veg soups (stuff like that - no meat) and vac seal my jars- appx how long will my jars be good for?
Ok, good to know. I always thought it had to do with not having jars sitting directly on the very hot pot bottom.
❤❤❤ good information.
Would love to see you water bath meats please
Thanks Jinne
Do you leave your rings on your jars after water or pressure cooking? Also do you recan 10# cans of vegetables ( greens beans, corn etc.?)
Thank you
Rings off after canning is recommended so you do not have a false seal.
@@lulamamie8524 that's what I do I was just asking Jinny the 2 part question. Thank you though.
😊

If I open a can of Thrive Life and can't use it fast enough (instant milk for example) can I vacuum seal it in a jar to keep it long term?
I wondered this also. Thanks for asking.

Weird question. Does anyone know how to read the dates on the lds cans? I’ve never been able to figure it out.
I usr food grade buckets glass jars and our neighbor feeds stray cats. I have a cat and a Jack Russell terrier

Hi lady
Hello!!! 👋
So I can do meats water bathing just longer time period that’s great news
Water bath canning low acid foods such as meats and veggies is not USDA approved!
Share ,Oops😂
There's a lady here on RUclips that water baths meat even chicken wings. Is that safe?
It is not USDA approved, but water bath canning meats is completely safe, as long as you go at least 3 hours.
Meats, low acid foods should be pressure canned.
@@HomesteadCorner Good to know. I wouldn't want her to get sick. Thank you❤️🇺🇲
@@missperfect8424 do not follow Rhodas methods they are NOT safe
