Wanted to put this out there. As a full time RV'er. We keep our emergency meals and quick meals in seal a meal type bags as we don't travel with many jars. It is also nice to have dehydrated meals for something easy on travel days. it is easy to dehydrate on the road and know we have quality meals without additives we don't need in our food. Meals in a jar just bag the meals and put spices ect. in pouches. Love and respect your channels. Thank you for all you do.
You are welcome. Thanks for sharing what you do.
I have my travel trailer storage loaded with food. About 90- days. Freeze dried is a cheap option right now. I have 18 months of freeze-dried in commercial cool storage. Cost less than 2.4k for all that...
We purchased our travel trailer in 2020. We were home with it for less than 24 hrs when we had to evacuate for a wildfire (which we never had before). We were evacuated for 10 days. The trailer is now always stocked with meals and ingredients and 5 days of clothing, along with laundry detergent. We can be hooked up and on the road in under 10 min easily.
Because our trailer is very small and doesn't have much storage, we do eat from the food stores to supplement what we pack for our trips and I evaluate the inventory with each trip and restock as needed - but I always keep it full
That timing was uncanny. Wow. Good to have a tt. I have bottles of earth-friendly clothes soap tucked away and everything else I can think of. Still adding.
@@justwannasay5454 A five gallon bucket w/a lid and a plunger can make a handy diy laundry machine in a pinch. I store other supplies in the bucket so I'm not wasting space. Obviously, use the plunger for only laundry and the cheap dollar store ones are the best.
Wow--what a lesson. So glad you are now ready for anything!
@@sarahironsbaker5228 Yes. I have a nice plunger/washer thingy from Amazon on board. And a zillion food-safe buckets! Buckets come in handy.
This is great! I’m going to do this with my stash so I’m organizing in my home or if I have to grab and go. I don’t have an RV but this is a great guide no matter what the transportation. Thanks for a great video!
This is great idea. In a pinch, you could just eat one or two meals a day.
Intermittent fasting is very healthy.
When camping, I usually only eat twice a day. Fantastic!
I was thinking exactly the same thing! In an emergency, food would definitely be rationed in this house, emergency dependent.
The lonely only sock can be used to protect your glass jars. Don't forget a tornado bag if you live In the midwest...you'll want at least 24 hour supply should you need to shelter in the cinderblock shower house in case of a tornado popping up.
For sure, I've spent a few long nights in the shower house.
Thanks for the tips.
I was concerned when Cindy said that they would use up their under bed storage in the Fall and not restock until Spring. Then John came in and explained how they had bins ready to toss into the trailer in case of emergency and be ready to head out. John and Cindy have obviously put a lot of thought into their planning. Thank you for sharing.
This was such a fun surprise to see John & Cindy!! Cindy brought our family BBQ and macaroni salad when I had knee surgery when we lived in Casper, WY years ago! I’ve always remembered her kindness to my family!!
I will be sure they read this! Thanks!
We have a permanent campsite. We normally make a giant Costco run in early spring and stock the camper with the staples for the season. During the pandemic, I needed to isolate. It was so convenient to just go out there and not have to worry about food or clothing. Since that time, we have expanded our stockpile to include more emergency preparedness items and clothing for multiple seasons. We have the means to be totally off grid in a remote location for a long period of time. It brings such peace of mind.
That is fantastic. Yes, it would bring peace of mind.
Vancouver, Washington here! I love this and have been doing this in our RV for a couple of years now. We've had forest fires close and have been at level 2, and nearly a level 3 "go now". I love, love, love this!! Would like to see more on this subject because I don't think people think of using their RV or travel trailer as thier potential 72+ hour kits.
Thank you!
Great idea! The only thing I'd change is to probably make up the kits for everything I'd need for a day or two, instead of type-of-meal-specific bins. That way, you could nest the empty bins or repurpose them for something like water collection. Plus, if you came across someone else in need you could pass them an all-day bin or two without compromising your own stash. Keeping the recipes in each bin is a great tip, in case the cook is away/down, or if you end up sharing with others!
Love your channel! Thank you, Ladies! Keep up the wonderful information sharing!
Yes, this idea is presented as a model that can be adjusted to individual needs.
Salt and pepper,
dry milk, coffee, or tea. liquids, vanilla?
This video brings back some fond childhood memories of camping. Gotta love Cindy & John! I have a sister named Cindy and a brother named John. LOl! We used to go camping every year for 2 weeks my mother packed and prepared meals to feed 5 kids and we slept in tents. We fished up in Minnesota and got enough fish to last the rest of the summer. When we got home, Every Friday night we had a fish fry and fed the neighborhood. My Dad put in the garden just before we took the trip on Memorial Day and my grandmother stayed home to tend to the garden while we were away on the long fishing trip. My mother would freeze water in 1 gallon milk jugs and she used that for ice on our trip to freeze the fish until we were ready to cook it. She was a butcher and rendered her own lard to fry the fish. Everybody said she made the best fish and it's true! Thank you for sharing your sister and her husband with us again. I really enjoyed this break I took from working in the garden. Time to get back to work.
Love this story! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Pam and Cindy! We have a 5th wheel camper that we use throughout the year for pleasure trips. One space in the camper we seldom use is the storage underneath the bed because it’s not easy to get to and the heavy mattress just makes it inconvenient. BUT! Now I have a goal to work towards! This is the perfect place to store extra food that we don’t plan to use except in an emergency. I love this. I’ll start meal planning immediately!
Yes, that is the perfect place, under the bed storage. Thank you for the reminder.
My mom and dad bought a hydronic lift so they can finally use that area!
Love this kind of prep video. Thanks❤
Put in a lift. They are not expensive and will save your back.
Don’t forget rodent proof containers like glass
My Dollar Tree has mayo and Miracle Whip in 8 oz. sizes that would be great for this. I usually get larger size, but it needs refrigeration once opened. I am more or less a shut in. Using your advice to prep for sheltering in place to suit my health needs.
That is a great way to adjust this information to fit what you need.
@@RoseRedHomestead I found a lot of small food items at Dollar Tree that work real well for bug out. Just 2 of us, so enough for one meal and no need to refrigerate left overs. Long storage milk for breakfast cereal, small pkgs cereal. Hubby loves his breakfast!
Great ideas Cindy and Pam. Good combinations you could mix and match ingredients. Everyone needs caramel popcorn. Ha ha I'm with you. One question how does heat affect your food? In my trailer in Texas it would be in and oven. It is 88 degrees now and this is a cool day. Good video. Thanks,
Hi Donna. Yes, you would need to consider the heat for the type of food to use in this way.
Pam, its always a joy seeing you and Cindy in videos!
Thank you so much. We have a good time together.
Enjoyed this episode with John and Cindy. This is such a good idea and organized too. I hesitate to take my canned foods because I'm afraid of breakage but then again placing those in totes would keep it contained. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Happy Camping
Well done! Your organization skills are off the charts!
She is the Queen of Organization in our extended family! LOL
Thank you for this, ladies! Made me even happier that I already got your book!!! I've been looking up these recipes in it, too. lol. I don't have a cabin or RV and probably no need to bug out.... but these are great suggestions for stocking emergency items to keep on hand in my home.
Our pleasure! Yes, this idea is easily adjustable for individual needs.
I've been trying to think of a plan for our new trailer, we've been driving across the country with a toddler and I'm expecting baby #2. I've been worried about getting stuck somewhere away from home and not having what we need to take care of us (and the friends who are usually traveling with us). Thank you for this video, I love it so much!!!
I am so glad the ideas were useful for you. Sounds like you have your hands full with babies--what a joyful time of life!
😊
I have a class C motor home that is about 18'' long.. When I travel I carry six months of provisions with me everywhere I go. It is one of my backup plans if I needed to leave right away because of a disaster or some main issue that I could not stay in my home. It is better to be prepared and have it and not need it.
That sounds fantastic.
Yes, fabulous idea, we have a motor home and plenty of storage room for bins like this! Love it! You are all so organized it’s embarrassing for me when I thought I had it down, and now know I don’t! But I’ll work on it!
No need to be embarrassed! We all learn things from each other!
Great video guys i must admit after a few whiskeys i would have no trouble saying Chicken Soodle Noup cheers .
Good one!
Brilliant! I can see you two ladies publishing a guide of this
We store our ready-made FD meals under the bed but I will be packing up bins just like this to grab-n-go if needed. We're in fire country here in So OR and it's time to have the 5th-wheel on the ready-set-go for the season. Great ideas! I think we'll also be sure to store some briquettes too to save as much propane as possible.
That sounds great! Be sure to consider enough water to rehydrate your FD meals.
I appreciate the thoughtfulness of sharing your emergency preparedness, which I will incorporate into our RV this weekend. Thank you again.
What a fantastic episode, just love seeing Cindy and John...thete such a lovely couple. Thanks Pam and Jim for yet another great video. 😃
You are very welcome.
BRILLIANT! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! Thank you so much for sharing this information!!! 🙂
Glad it was helpful! Jim
Perfect Video! Your friend is such a cutie and so well prepared. Wonderful information--thank you for sharing!
Our 5TH wheel is part of our home Emergency Action Plan. This is GREAT!
Excellent!
Thank you Cindy and John, Pam and Jim, always such good content on your channel, useful information. This is a great idea! My husband and I are preparing to do some camping in our RV as we usually do this time of the year. The school year is almost over, eleven more days and we are off on our first trip. I have been so busy with work and gardening I haven't had time to pack the RV, now I know how to do it. Thanks again. Happy trails 👍🏽🙏🏽🧡🤓
Thanks for your comment--glad you liked the idea.
RV = huge target in emergy bug out situation!
That idea is amazing. I don't have an RV or trailer but my brain immediately started rotating for an adaptation for this idea to bug out with the car only. Hopefully one of the ideas work out well thank you so much
Great timing! I have a camper van that I use for summer but I’m always thinking it would be perfect as a bug out as well. It’s already off grid capable and I’m upgrading solar soon. Storage is always a challenge in such a small space but I try to duplicate everything with the exception that it’s all manual or low wattage items/solar options. I love it! Guess I’m heading out to figure out my bins. Heck, I like just separating into meals…so much easier than digging through what I currently use.
Glad it was useful for you.
Do you account for the extra weight this adds to the rig? My husband and I are truckers so it’s always at the forefront of our minds.
Good point! Thanks for sharing.
Also, a book with all this info would be an AMAZING resource, just sayin 😉 Maybe add it to your “books to write” list 😬
That's a great idea! Thanks.
We're in Cal Fire extreme fire area evacuating happens often. Very helpful information. Thank you both.
Our pleasure! Jim
Great video with such useful information. Thank you for sharing with all of us!
You are so welcome! Jim
Very organized! Great ideas. Thank you! 👍🏻💖
They say its for bugging out and an RV but really it would work for home just as well. You gals work well together. Love seeing you both.
Thank you.
Fabulous, thank you!
Hi Pam, Jim, Cindy and John,
Great video. This makes perfect sense. I always have my RV loaded with tons of food, baking supplies and such, as we are foodies! However, your idea is so very organized and with the recipes there it is a no-brainer. Finally we got our food storage organized. It was long and hard, but done. We need to open our bug out bags and see what we need to replace and what has expired. I love how organized Cindy and John are. They are amazing, as are you and Jim. I am still wowed by your gardening tip, Pam, with the PVC pipe and the seeds. Thank you all so much. Do you all have an EMP Shield for your trucks? We do, but we don’t have the RV one. If you have your solar generator with a 30 amp plug in it, you could plug your 30 amp RV into it, provided you have protected both with an EMP Shield, or the solar generator in an EMP protected box/bag. We still need to do our well with the EMP Shield. There is so much to consider and do. Being in our 70’s it is hard to think of everything, so I really appreciate you videos. Our family thinks we are crazy old people. It is nice to be able to be with like-minded people like you all. ❤. Oh! One more thing. Please get a yearly service check up on your RV’s. You need to keep them in tip top shape too. Our son is an RV Repairman. It is cheaper to keep up with everything than to have it break and get it repaired. The parts are getting harder to get my son says. So, get the air/heat/water tank serviced and looked at at least once per year. Take care of the black tank too. Pack any wheels as soon as it is time to with your RV’s maintenance schedule and rotate the tires. You need your bug out RV to be cared for prior to bugging out!
Thanks for all your tips and for sharing what you do. We had a blowout on our trailer coming home from Bryce. It was a learning experience. The good thing is we made contact with an RV technician who will come to our home to do maintenance. We are having him go over everything before we set out on another trip.
This is why we love your channel Pam & Jim!!!!!!! I have been prepared all my adult life and just when I think I have my family prepped you put out a video that gives me more ideas to be better prepared. Thank You!
Living in a rural area we have several types of natural disasters we have to be prepared for. I always have propane and water in my trailer but I don't know why I haven't thought of putting meals in there also. LOL I have a food bug out bin in the garage in case we don't have time for hooking the RV up but putting meal bins in the RV would make it totally ready to hook up and go! Thank you soo much to you Pam, Jim, Cindy and John for all your wonderful ideas!
So glad the information was useful for you.
Well planned and implemented, thank you This works!
Nice! Have a great day ❤
Stocking ones RV would be great if one had such a bug out vehicle, but the home comes first, several cans a week (started a while ago and rotate) and canning from the garden. Hunkering down or bugging out, RV or not, if I had to bug out I'd say a shorter wheel base w 4 wheel drive would give me an advantage over all the other 1000's of people on the road trying to get out of town; the RV might be bogged down behind traffic for days if you have enough fuel. Good luck.
Thanks for your insight!
This is a wonderful idea and I will definitely adopt and adapt the system for our camper and our off-grid cabin. I sort of followed this idea just naturally for our trips, but not keeping a dedicated supply for an extended or unexpected emergency. My biggest struggle has been (since learning I am gluten and lactose intolerant), being able to pack a nice variety of safe, nutritious, tasty meals that will have a reasonable shelf life.
It sounds as if you are up to the challenge, so that is great!
Preparedness meals are probably my favorite content 🙃. I usually cook all our foods from scratch, but I like to have super easy items on hand for the first few days of an emergency. If I am stressed out about what is going on, I don't want to have to cook from scratch. I want easy, quick and comforting meals. I now have some home pressure-canned items on my shelf which opens up more options. Some day I hope to have a freeze dryer.
Thanks for your comment.
happy to see you both are enjoying retirement Pam magnificent ideas Cindy we should always be ready to evacuate in case of any emergency
Thank you! Yes, it is important to be prepared in that way for sure!
Water? What's the plan for having water?
Agreed! Water is crucial
@@patzumach3425 And what's the plan for fuel to feed that monster when SHTF.
They have water for 3 days. When fuel runs out they still will have food.
Prof Pam-- Thank you for sharing John and Cindy's ideas. I will get containers and do this, as this is so efficient .
One question please about bins under the bed in the trailer Do they keep bins in in the trailer even when Temps change to cold and heat?
Thank you #teamcantrell ⚘️
When campers are winterized, all liquids need to go into your home...had a sick kit under the sink in my camper I forgot had a small can of ginger ale in it...when I looked in the kit,the can was all poofed up and empty...looks like I need to clean the cabinet out and get the sticky residue out!
Love the video
HOW WONDERFUL!! I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND HAVE TO THINK OF FOOD SPOILING IN THE HEAT. IT GET SO HOT HERE THAT WE DO NOT LEAVE ANY BOTTLED WATER EVEN IN THE CAR. THE HEAT PULLS OUT BAD THINGS FROM THE PLASTIC SO I HAVE MY THINGS READY TO LOAD.
I thought the same thing living here in central NC
There are many ways to adjust these ideas to individual needs!
If you do any home canning, when you do that extra jar of water for taking up space, you can save that jar of canned water. It is ready to go.
My concern would be the glass Mason jars surviving if it got down some rough road situations. Guess you could arrange the contents so that no glass jars were touching each other.
Great video
Thanks.
Cindy, brilliant! I'm going to do this in my travel trailer! Thank you for your brilliant information! And Pam, 🥰 You and Cindy are an absolute delight to watch!
We are happy it was helpful! Jim
I use my camper year-round so my bugout bins stay fully rotated with is nice because we never know when we’ll have a hurricane, ice storm or complete failure of electric services which happened to our neighboring county this weekend. I also have year-round clothing,tools,etc since I use my trailer probably 60-90 nights a year.
What a great video Pam. Oh thank you…..all of you 🇨🇦🌷
This is great. Thank you so much Cindi. We have a motorhome, quite often my husband will say let’s go away tomorrow for two days !!!!!! (we are on a farm so when the weather is wet, we can’t do anything around here) but for me to pack our motorhome with food that we will need , takes forever and I find it just too stressful to do it, for just a couple of days away , planned at the last minute !!!!!!! I think having these ready-made bins already in the motorhome would make the spur of the moment get aways so much more pleasant and way less stressful for me…. I am very thankful to you….
So glad you liked the idea! I think it would work perfectly for you! Thanks.
It's a great 💡 idea. What I find fast and helpful is to have bins put together to rotate out as a whole. I did this when we had baby bags just always ready in the car. And a ready stocked bag to rotate with fresh supplies so you're always prepared!
Great idea! thanks for sharing.
I can boiled peanuts and it makes a great easy snack, although I have to be careful not to overload on sodium.
Well done...I would point out that the rings are left on the home canned jars...I think that is a great idea, given how these are stored. We are taught not to store jars this way, however I think this is a necessary tool to use when storing jars on their sides or can get knocked around. good on ya!
Yes, I agree. Thanks.
I hate to see people that will not even have a weeks worth of food and have children they think the goverment will take care of them . Very great job
wow! great idea in storage and Stocking! thanks
Hello,
Can you list the staples that were in the candy jars and 2 bins that you showed below the table?
Thank you!
Yes I have been doing this with my 24' tt in my driveway. Slowly adding SHTF stuff: bedding, pillows, Berkey, camping stuff, fire extinguisher, 12 volt frig, potty bucket, liners, solar lights etc. Need to add some food to it. But it gets hot in there here in California. I also have solar on the top.
Wow--you are on top of things! Way to go!
I'm wondering if the home canned items are safe with rings on and things stacked on them?
Those rings you see are probably very loosely in place. Loose enough that a 2-year-old could take them off. It's only a storage thing and the rings are available to reseal a jar after it's opened.
I have never wanted to leave any food in my trailer for fear of mice. Any suggestions? This is a great video. Really got me thinking.
You have a good point. What other options do you suggest. Jim
Would love the recipe for Tutti-frutti jam if Cindy is ever wanting to share it with us! Sounds amazing! I don’t suppose it’s in one of your cookbooks, is it?
Laura B - I tried to leave a comment while I was waiting for a kiddo to come out of karate practice, and the connection there isn't so great. Then we got home, and I forgot to see if my reply actually posted! I remembered now though 😅 If the recipe Cindy used is the same one that's been talked about in a safe canning group I belong to, it can be found by searching online. The one I know of includes pears and she didn't mention that, so it may not be. I could never forget the name of the recipe though, nor the excitement it created amongst group members, because it called for some store bought, canned fruits - which usually would not be considered safe in a home canning recipe. I hope you can find it!
I will ask if she is willing to share it.
Also remember a box for your important papers, photos and jewelry.
Yes! Thanks, Mary.
That looks like a month of food. And all of it looks delicious. What a great idea for storage in the trailer. You probably don't have any bugs.
What a fantastic idea as we have a trailer and I am going to implement this. You gals are just a hoot and so fun to be sisters and have this in common. Eagle Idaho
Thanks for your comment! We will soon be traveling through Idaho. Beautiful country!
I was not sure what "bugging out" was-so I googled it! Wow...I have all of the ingredients you showed and so I will get busy making totes next week. You ladies are amazing and I am so thankful to have run into your channel! We don't have an RV-but we have a large van that we could load up quickly if these are already prepared
Add a little propane stove, and some propane containers, or one like Pam uses on her counter for videos, and don't forget a few gallons of water per person if you are gonna do the 'van life" version of the quick get away from danger. Also blankets or compressible sleeping bags.
Thank you both for your comments.
You ladies are amazing! Thanks for the information!
You are welcome.
Great ideas and very helpful! 👍🏻👍🏻🙂
Glad to hear it. thanks.
What a great idea! I come from a large city and no one I know ever did food preservation or preparation like you do. Your channel is such a learning opportunity for me. I would love to see you doing a weekly meal plan at home that demonstrates how you "use what you store and store what you use." I have been very inspired by you, Jim, Cindy, and John to make and freeze meals and stock up on things when they are on sale. My larders feel like they are bursting at the seams. I’m curious how your thought process works during weekly meal planning and remembers to use up the things you have prepared or frozen for your food storage. I’m on board with adding to my storage, but not yet using the things I have stored. No one I know does any of this, so I would love to continue to learn from you. 👏🏻
Pam and Cindy wrote a book about 1 1/2 years ago on planning weekly meals for year or any increment you would like. You can find it on our Homepage (roseredhomestead.com).

I love this!! Would Cindy be willing to share her Tutti-Frutti jam recipe, please 🙏🏻
I will ask her!
How Do You Keep The Mice & Rats Out?? Always..
The bins do a good job in that area, and the food is not stored in the RV over the winter.
Wooo hooo 🎉 we are new to camping and this is such GREAT information and ideas …
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for these great ideas. We have a 30’ ft class c motorhome and we have discussed selling it many times BUT thinking we may need to use as a bug out or temporary home changes our mind every time! I have a lot of dehydrated foods, canned meat with beef being our favorite, freeze dried meats and cheeses and seafood. I’ve learned to make bread and now have ventured into sourdough baking as my expertise is in Mexican cooking. I have a sun oven, 2 Coleman collapsible ovens and even made an apple box oven which worked great when I made spareribs.
There is nothing like show and tell for me! This gave me so many ideas! Thank you all for sharing!! Love it!!
You are very welcome!
How do you keep the food items from expiring quicker when stored in a very hot trailer when not in use? And do the bins keep the critters out?
Hope everything is ok...you sitting down the whole video
That was one of the days I was fighting off dizziness. I am fine now! Thanks.
QUESTION: How do you can your stew vegetables?
Great idea and not just for an RV, it would be smart to have those type bins in a garage to grab in go in your car trunk or truck bed.
Yes it would!
Love seeing the energy you sisters share with one anofher other‼️ Wonderful to see the way this was organized, Cindy 💯% Thanks ladies❣️
You are very welcome.
great idea! I love this
It is amazing how similar your voices and mannerisms are as sisters! too cute
LOL! thanks.
I like the idea of packing meals in the boxes. It's like the meal in a bag. This makes planning your meals easier. I love your video's.
I love this idea! Do you leave these totes in the camper all summer and winter? I would think they would get too hot or cold when the camper is not in use.
This is a concern for me also. The winter is not a problem for me but summer temperatures get well over 100 in my trailer. I bring my bins inside and replenish what is needed then store them in my laundry room until we need them again. I just don’t trust the food being stored in extreme temperatures.
Good vid! Helpful. I would swear that you two are sisters! Thanks!
We utilize this method at our house too, especially during summer when the forest fires start. We always have several packs of instant potatoes because we can make bread, flatbread tortilla type of bread, mashed potatoes, pancakes, etc. Rice and dry beans as well. Plus we always keep our garden seeds in a carry container so that if we have to relocate we can just grab the to go seed container and be able to grow our own food. On a separate note, I have a question about one of Cindy's dinner meals - She canned the stew meat and stew vegetables separately. I just wanted to know if there is a reason for that, like does she use the vegetables for more than just stew or was it a one time thing?
Yes, she does use the veggies for other foods, too. Jim
@@RoseRedHomestead Okay thank you, that makes sense then
We don't have an R.V., but we do have an S.U.V. - and we have kiddos, so different season of life! We keep a three month supply of food on hand (between fridge, pantry, and freezer) and so I went through our pantry at the beginning of summer and took everything out that I felt we could easily feed ourselves and the kids with if we had to (this means nothing that would require baking - ready to eat, or a quick heat up on a portable stove is all). I stacked it all evenly on the counter (accounting for weight of things like cans versus lightweight boxes of crackers), and I measured how large of a tub (two, actually) we would need to hold it all. I went and bought two tubs for this purpose. I'm also planning to take most of what we keep in our fridge (minus lots of the condiments) in a cooler.
Sounds like you are really on top of things with that plan!
Do you make your own MREs? If so do you have recipes? Thank you. Loved your video
Sort of. Cindy and I both have freeze dryers so we FD recipes like chili, spaghetti, etc.
Great idea
Wonderful video!! Love seeing you sisters together! Have to get your book!! Thx so much for such wonderful info on being prepared! We love to RV and meet wonderful people! God bless!
Hello Pam and Cindy please show us how to make Tutti Fruiti jam...thank you .😊
IF/When things go "wrong," the one main thing Americans need to "rethink" is their 3-full-meals a day mentality. Neither necessary (they'll finally lose that spare tire), nor sustainable when SHTF.
Question - couldn't get more packed if things were freeze dried? Wouldn't it also make it lighter for travel? I don't have freeze dried (yet) so I'm not 💯 sure how that would work/taste.
Love your channel,y'all are awesome..
Wonderful video which I plan to use to stock our travel trailer. A question for John who mentioned MRE’s. Was he talking about military meals or about prepared meals they made? Those two really have it together. Thanks for sharing such valuable info.
I think my brain hurts from how much I’m learning from you guys🥰
I’m not sure if there is a place to ask random prep questions so I figured this was as good a place as any😊 hopefully someone will have some insight.
If you vacuum seal bullion powder whether store bought or homemade how long do you think that will extend the shelf like?
Thank You
