A/P, I CAN ATTEST, YOU HAVE SOME THINGS IN YOUR PANTRY THAT " WILL NOT " LAST. SUCH ITEMS AS CONDIMENTS IN PLASTIC. MAYBE A YEAR, MANAISE, MUSTARD, CATCHUP ANYTHING IN PLASTIC ESSENTIALLY. TO INCLUDE CRACKERS, BOXED SPEGETTI/NOODLES. IF YOU DON'T HAVE BAY LEAVES IN YOUR FLOUR, IT MAY DEVELOP BUGS, SUGAR WILL TURN HARD AS BRICK IF YOU DON'T PUT MOISTURE PACKETS, NEVER USE OXYGEN ABSORBERS IN SUGAR, IT'LL TURN IT TO STONE LOL. PER RICE, WHITE RICE GOOD, BROWN RICE WON'T KEEP FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS I'VE HEARD, I DO NOT GET BROWN RICE, BUT IT WILL TURN RANCID DUE TO THE OILS IN IT. AS FOR NUTS OUT OF THE SHELL, I PUT SOME IN A MASON JAR THEN IN REFRIGERATOR, TWO YEARS, THEY ARE STILL GOOD JUST TO SNACK ON, BUT WOULDN'T USE FOR ANYTHING I MIGHT BAKE. IF WOULD PUT THEM IN MASON JARS WITH OXYGEN ABSORBERS, THEN THEY I'M SURE WOULD LAST FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I'D ALSO PUT BAY LEAVES IN YOUR RICE BESIDES THE FLOUR. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY LIVING ON DISABILITY TO PURCHASE ALL THAT CANNED LONG TERM STORAGE. TC
FORGOT SOMETHING, I WOULD SUGGEST YOU GET SOME PINTO BEANS, ALL TYPE BEANS, RAW HONEY, HEARD YOU SAID HONEY, BUT DIDN'T HEAR YOU SAY RAW UNFILTERED. ALSO COFFEE WILL NOT LAST LONG DUE TO BECOMING RANCID. NOT CERTAIN ABOUT BEANS IF THEY WERE MYLAR'D OR FREEZE DRIED. BAKING SODA, BAKING POWDER, REDMOND'S SALT (BEST SALT)
I've reported so many of those scam things in replies that if YT would monetize reporting, I'd have a nice second income !
I recently found a $10 can of white rice that I had sealed back in 1991. It got shoved into a box and lost thru 3 moves. I opened the can...looked good...smelled good...cooked up fine...tasted just fine!
I feel the same about gold … if the dollar collapses it will take most of the worlds currencies with it. what are you going to redeem your gold for and how long before there will be something tangible to exchange. I’d rather have food and water after SHTF…
I've been dehydrating celery, onions, red peppers and carrots. Most of the things you add to a soup base.
I actually bought freeze dried foods before I stocked up on rice, beans, and other cheap alternatives. And I'm glad I did! The price has more than doubled on the freeze dried foods! But rice, beans, and other cheap and available food is still cheap and available. If I started buying the freeze dried foods again I'd be paying double or more than I was a few years ago!!
Same. I bought about 5 years ago.
Yep same here, prices gone sky high
I did the same thing.. Eggs I bought for $20 are now $60.
I did they same. Long term, then shelf items, then fresh.
I did the same 2 years ago. It got me started.
Great advise for new preppers! I laughed when I saw your haul of Sazon Goya and adobo because I have the same. As a boricua, if ever I'm forced to eat squirrels or venison every day, you KNOW they will be coated with sazon and adobo! LOL!
I have freeze dried food as my back up emergency food. It is only to be touched in extreme emergencies.
AP - My suggestion would be to put some type of wood bar or even bungee cords in front of your home canned foods because we know Alaska gets earthquakes and you don’t want any want anything to fall off the shelves.
It is funny reading comments and watching video (from various creators) over the years and how people are so concerned about variety and storing candy and junk food for a morale booster. Listen, if you have the money to do all that - do it. But have none of you ever had to go without in the past? I have! And, during that time of barely any money coming in, food was last on this list - paying bills came first. Thus, I lived on peanut butter toast and almonds (I would count out a serving size - I think it was 8-12 almonds) since that was what I could afford to buy. I supplemented that with whatever I could get from the food pantry. I was silly and my pride would not allow me to apply for food stamps. (How dumb, right!?) My point is, I did not care one hoot about variety and was over joyed with peanut butter toast daily. I just knew I needed calories. I would cry when a friend gave me $5 to help me out or the one time the food pantry gave me a $25 gift certificate to a grocery store, and I would strategize how to make it stretch. I was so afraid of being homeless that I worked 4-5 jobs at a time and figured it out with the help of a number of people. My point is...when you are hungry all that matters is calories and with this in mind - this is how I prep. The experience I had with having nothing will never leave me and I know I will NOT be picky when I am hungry. I could care less about buying expensive freeze dried "fancy" meals. I am aware everyone preps relative to what they can afford. But I guess it is hard for me to grasp when I read - ohh my kids won't eat can food so I am not stocking that stuff or "I can't eat rice for every meal". Sorry to tell you...starving children WILL eat can food and everyone WILL be grateful to have rice daily. Prepping does not have to be difficult or expensive - I just think people need a realistic perspective about how picky they will all be when they are starving.
Very true. I used to get a set amount of food stamps for 3 people, but with an extra person, I had to buy everything in bulk. Bulk is a life saver. But my family has known hunger also. So bulk is how I prep.
As someone later to the "prepper community", it is nice to hear simple, basic steps to beginning prepping as well as when to think about taking the next step. It helps give a sense of control & I'm doing something because so much chaos is going on I can't control. Appreciate your channel, insights and just plain talking to us. ( I'm the only prepper in my family & doing it for them as well so you lift my spirits) Thanks again!
It's just me left. I was preparing to help protect my mom. But she has been gone now over a year. I store a lot of canned foods. I started into dehydrated veggies to add to what I have already. I watch the sales on Amazon. I have to be so careful because of food allergies and having to be gluten-free.
Keep prepping my friend. Slow and steady wins the race. Even new to prepping you are way ahead of 95% of the people.
Before you know it you will be just filling in the gaps.
When we had a little bit more wiggle room in our budget we would use our food budget to add a bag or two of mountain house during our weekly shopping at Wally World. For our family by doing this have a a solid 2 weeks, maybe a bit more, in totes that can be easily carried if we had to bug out or leave our home for a bit of time. We also keep some heating, bowls, plates, utensils in each bin. For a lot of people you don’t always have to make big purchases, 1 or 2 items at a time will add up quickly.
What is mountain house?
@@sandrajohnson9926 Freeze dried food company. Can be found at Walmart and Amazon.
We would always check to see if Mt House was on clearance. We did find it that way at times.
@@sandrajohnson9926 - Mountain House, Peak Refuel, and Augason Foods are the premium brands - sold at Sam’s / Costco, Outdoor stores, and Walmart. These meals are for “glamping” (upscale camping when you are traveling light or hiking distances). They are sort of expensive (2 serving meals are usually $10-11) however if we do move into extended really hard times or you are forced to travel for safety - these are much easier to transport.
I've been doing the same with Augason farms freeze dried. When it's on sale I try to grab a few. It's longterm peace of mind.
Another reason to buy Long Term Food is it allows you buy food for the future when you have the money to do it. You may not have the money to buy it when the time comes you need it.
Get heirloom seeds so you can learn to seed save as well. I started gardening a few years ago, I’m on year 6. I am now growing a garden yearly. Canning, freezing and dehydrating. I used to kill every plant I had, so I am pleased. I love growing my own food. Expanding my garden this year in anticipation of the shortages. I’m also growing extra in case a crop doesn’t perform as well as I had hoped. Growing food is very important! Whether it’s a container garden or full garden, grow your food! You can do it!
For me… step one is my reg working pantry Step two is my frozen food. Step three is my long term pantry of stuff I’ll eat so I can rotate them. Step four is my bulk foods basics. Step five is freeze dry cans. Step six is a set of MREs.
Thank you, Alaska Prepper. My parents taught us to prep when my family and I were very young. I was really surprised that your suggestions were exactly how I have prepared. I feel more confident after watching this that I have most of what I will need, but I do agree with you that something might have been forgotten. Water is what I feel that is needed the most along with knowing how to get rid of bathroom treasures. 🙂Soap is really needed to make sure that cleanliness is paramount. May God be with you and your family.
I need to work on water. I am lacking there.
Just in case soap becomes scarce, I have planted a perennial called "soapwort". When the plant is crushed it produces suds. It is what colonists used to wash their hair.
Thankyou dee
I have to admit that I really thought this was going to be a commercial for Nurient Survival. I am glad to see that it was really going back to the basics of what to really build up. I have a two year supply of canned goods, another two years of dry goods, and have been getting supplies of freeze dried/MRE items. I always carry an MRE with me because it will allow me to get from point A to point B without having to stop and having to prepare a meal with other supplies. You were in the same type of job I had in the military, and sometimes we can't stop and eat. Eating on the move is a way of life (and survival).
Even from my non *Doomsday*, moreso just “Emergency Preparedness” for Hurricanes / Mini-Crises like Supply Chain Messes” this is a great strategy and video presenting it all, well done!
AP - thank you for all that you do for this community! Pero chico, no way can we keep food under 70 degrees in Miami!!! I add desicant at the bottom, middle and top of the 5 gallon buckets! Y que hacen in the DR, PR, Bahamas, etc.? :) My parents were postt WWII babies in Cuba. Want to talk about preppers, they stored canned food and loads of items like there was no tomorrow. They were preppers before the word was used! Since we were US born, we never experienced what they went through with the depression, wars, viruses (hepatits, polio, etc.) and would kinda make fun of them. Boy did I feel stupid when I woke up and realized that what they had done had saved our hides so many times! Hurricanes, storms, layoffs. Everyone should go back to doing what our parents did - prepper for the unexpected!
Do you want to know how to instantly double your pantry?
Cut your calories in half of what you consume now.. Shrink your stomach and learn to live on limited calories. I cut mine to under 900 per day, high protein low carb and not only have I lost 24 pounds in about 10 weeks, I FEEL twice as sharp, at least 25% more energy, and I'm shaving off at least 30,000 calories PER MONTH. That could keep another human fully fed & healthy.
You'll never feel better folks, being more energetic & motivated was a side effect I never expected.
Love freeze dried food. It will be here years from now. So, I like to have a little for the future .
@Alaska Prepper I have gotten 2 5 gallon buckets of local raw honey over the last year and a half, along with everything else that I have like on your shelves plus what I have canned myself.
Don't forget molasses, it's great for many things.
Your pantry is very similar to mine and I keep from cannned goods from the stores to the pressure canned foods, to the 25+ years dried foods to the five gallon Mylar bags of long term foods. Also I’m working on my “cashe” food bucket away from my home in case. Each time /buckets/ canned/ dehydrated foods are dated and rotated weekly. My temps are from 55-65 and a fan is running to circulate air year around. I’ve got years of seed that are only Heirloom seeds (not gmo seeds). Plus survival books to identify plants, berries. Herbs in the wild. Also medical survivors handbooks (I’m a retired Nurse) I’ve been collecting supplies for that emergency. Also things to barter with if the need becomes that way of life. Plus some way to create compost and vitamins for your soil for a better growth of said foods. Also foods for my pets and their meds too if need be.
“ NEVER SHOW ANYONE WHERE YOU STASH YOUR FOODS AT”
I’d love to have a smoke house that would be great for meats.
I’ve built a rocket stove, bought two 50 gallon water barrels along with a filtration systems they have saved me many times these past few years when it came to water.
Great video. Something else I’m adding in because I live in a condo is sprouting. An option for greens when gardening is difficult.
This week I stopped canning, the forty lbs of boneless skinless chicken thighs filled my last canning shelf. The freezers are packed, I still have a bit of room to stack five gallon buckets for my dehydrating projects. For now I am buying sale foods for daily consumption and will continue until price and/or scarcity stops me.
Seeds and gardening should be in step one along with building supplies in pantry/ step two long term storage should include learning how to store vegetables from the garden, such as canning freezing and making flour from pumpkins and zucchini
SEEDS are out at my DOLLAR TREE---$1/4.
My nephew hydroplaned and totaled his car. He has no way to work--an hour away--and just moved into his apartment...(long story). So, thank goodness I could go into my stash and stock him up with food, etc. for weeks!
I store different foods for different reasons. Canned goods, pressure can goods, dehydrated goods, freeze dried goods, dry goods, freezer goods. In glass. In plastic. In cans. In bags, in totes, in buckets. If one or even if two systems fail, more then likely the others will be ok. Never leave all your eggs in one basket! :-D
Get extra seeds from different stores. I had a couple of duds last year!!
My first corn seeds looked odd, kind of flat and clear. They must have just dissolved. Planted a different brand, got corn but cobs only about 4 inches with something like a cauliflower growing out of the end. Disgusting. I'll buy it from now on.
Another good reason to garden now is so you get practice. You don't want to wait until your survival depends on it to learn how to garden.
Last year was my first garden (30'x50'). I would have starved to death by now if I had to wait for the vegetables to ripen. Some did well, others not so much. I'm going to do it again this year. I had just enough good luck to motivate me to try again.
We need a video on how to store in hot weather. No climate control. The best we can do in that type of situation. Can we store in a hot garage or hot basement?? In a hot tote? How long will food last?? Is there anything people down south or on islands can do? Amazing video Rudy. Gracias
Is a hole in your yard possible? Underground or deep in a body of water would work.
My husband said we were out of room to store anymore food stuff. The Emergency preparedness has a sale for a case of rice for 24.97 and then cornbread for 3 cans 24.00. So 3 cases of cornbread and 5 cases of rice. I made room. I will not have my neighbors or family going hungry
What is the Emergency Preparedness?
We purchased a freeze dryer and have paid for it three times over in 15 months. We have animals and eggs. We make a lot of our staple menus and freeze dry it. Freeze drying has upped our game.
Same here!!
May I ask what type you purchased?
You freeze dry animals?.. sounds yummy!!

Greetings AP fam!🙋♀ I wanted to comment on the potential problem w/ cooking around others when it all goes south...Years ago, 25 to be exact, I bought cookware from Air core and until now, they have been in storage. Look up what 'Air core' cooking is and if you can get ahold of any piece of it, grab it! It's the modern day version of what they did in the 30's when cooks used a 'hay or straw box' to put a covered heavy pan that's been heated up and food added and placed in a hay lined box and then covered with pillows or blankets, to continue cooking for the day. It's akin to crockpot cooking but different. You get a delicious fully cooked meal without the scent of cooking! If one cannot find Air core cookware, then a hay box will suffice just fine. I used my air core several times thru the years then just saved it-for times like we are in now. Hope this helps especially if you are living in an apartment or in close proximity to others who will smell the food cooking🙏
When you have Café Bustello, that's when I know I can trust you!
sometimes you need a Boost!! ❤️. blessings to you 🙏 ✨️
I have found the "cansolidator" makes rotating canned goods easier. each slot holds a case (12) of standard size cans. also, they're way cheaper at wallymart than amzon. I also noticed that pastas are much cheaper at restaurant supply stores and dried peppers are cheaper at asian markets.
For those with a harvest right.
Any canned goods that are nearing their BBD, put the contents into an 8x8 brownie pan, freeze it, take it out of the pan and put the contents on the trays and run it through the freeze dryer.
You can package into MRE size mylar bags and away you go.
My 5 day (doing two of them) reboot from nutrient survival shipped yesterday and I cannot wait to start it.
I have 4 buckets of Ready Hour and 4 buckets of Wise. Yes there expensive. Yes they dont taste the greatest.
However they last 25 years. There easy to transport. Think if you have to leave your house quickly in a disaster.
It's hard to grab your 100s of canned food, loaded freezer of meats, 5 gallon buckets of died goods.
Where as you can just grab these food buckets and go. Knowing exactly what you need for 60 days.
This is how we prepped. We started with our everyday foods, then bulk dried items before adding in any freeze dried stuff. I also canned my own meats because it's cheaper.
I've been buying freeze dried food here and there for about 30 years now.The dates are arbitrary. I have opened cans of various items well past their dates of 25 years. Every one was GOOD. I bought mine from emergency essentials company.
This is the first video of yours I've seen and love the solid advice you gave here, so you gained another sub. I don't know if anyone else will notice this, but I saw Freedom's Choice canned tomatoes and know that is a commissary exclusive brand. If you have served, thank you for your service!
Look forward so much to see you two Funky Prepper and you together. I think it's funny that the two of you "have found each other" - to me you both are so very authentic and reliable.
I am getting dry goods like beans, rice, pastas, sugars, flours, seasonings, etc..
I also get canned goods I know will last and that I eat regularly. Mainly canned meats, chilies, soups, fruits and vegetables.
I have a lot of seeds already. But I get more every chance I get.
I haven't gotten much in the way of freeze dried foods yet. That will be after I feel I have enough of my regularly eaten foods.
It is a slow process when you live check to check.
A 10 kg bag of medium grain rice here in Australia used to cost $12 In 2010. It is now $38. Holy schmoly!!
I just went to the store last week, and a 5 pound bag of basmati or jasmine rice had jumped from 6.99 to 8.99 here in east central Indiana. Those are the only 2 kinds of rice I can safely eat.
@@ooohhitskaren63 I can't imagine that rice is expected to double this year. It is out of control. That is a lot for 5 pounds of rice
@@bluefoxblitz8416 it's a 30% increase. I remember not too long ago, I was paying 4.99 a bag, then 5.99, then 6.99. The 2 dollar jump floored me. And rice seems to disappear a lot at the stores.
@@ooohhitskaren63 out of control!! We are certainly living through some tough times. I bet your wage hasn't moved in all that time either. I've noticed my shopping bill for a family of 4 has gone up $80 to $100 a week. The kids no longer get ice cream as I'm not paying $12 for 4 ice cream cones. We have also ditched boxed cereals which are between $9.50 and $12 a 790 gram box. Porridge or as you say oatmeal or toast is the only things on the menu.
I have to agree that I have found the levels of Prepping a solid approach when looking at food storage. I started with building just a 3 month rotational pantry, then i expanded it to 6 months and now I'm working on a year. I have some items like Rice and dried beans in Mylar bags so that they can last for up to 25 years if I need to store them that long, but my concept is the whole pantry is used on a rotational basis so as I use products I get replacements to cycle into the back of the shelves like a grocery store does. This way I'm just buying and storing the items that my family actually uses and not wasting money on something that my family might not like (such as freeze dried meals with strange things in it). I'm now getting to the point where I can add in some freeze dried products to supplement my food stores like Freeze Dried chopped onions so I'm not having to always have fresh onions in my pantry. Wanting to add Freeze Dried Fruits and some other vegetables next. Like you suggested I started small and have been slowly adding to. Some things I've learned to replace, like making and home canning Chili to replace canned chili in my food stores. Adding home canned soups and vegetables during the summer when they are cheaper and better for us than the professionally canned versions.
Buy sauces/foods in jars! It will repay you many more years than in plastic or tin storage. Plus you can reuse the jars. Hang On World!
I grew tomatilos in black tires back in the early 90s the University of Fairbanks came out and took pictures because that is a sub tropical plant. The tires kept the dirt hot and it was a good hot summer allowed for a good crop. The tires were stack in a on top of one another. Many crops you can grow peas, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, turnips, cauliflower, kale, collards, parsley, oregano, thyme, radishes, beets, chard, garlic, bush beans, rosemary, tarragon, coriander, mustard greens, strawberries, raspberries, apples all grow in the interior specially if you can give it plenty of sun shine and protection from the wind/rain I used tomato cage and clear plastic bags was enough to protect the plants on bad days. I grew onions but I never was able to get them big but my daughter was able to grow them the size of a soft ball. There is more that will grow and a green house will allow bell peppers, tomatoes, egg plant, hot peppers all do well in a green house.
I'm prepared, thanks to you, Rudy. You've taught me so much. I continue to improve my preps as well. Thank you for all you do. -- Elizabeth, RN
Well….I think you took smart steps in prepping, but no one is really “prepared” for big events. We aren’t even sure what kind of event may come (a regular war? A flood? A nuclear exchange? Riots? A solar flare that destroys the power grid and takes years to repair? Yosemite suddenly erupts) and you would prepare for each differently, like that great underground fallout shelter doesn’t work well in massive flooding.
And you could have spent 5 million making a self-sufficient, isolated underground compound, only to be out getting more supplies an hour away when the missile warning comes, and not make it back. Or if in ground zero….being prepared won’t matter. There is always still an element of luck.
Great video! I’m reminded that Joseph understood starvation in the book of Genesis. He collected wheat berries for 7 years during those plentiful years. Then when the world went thru starvation. Mankind had those wheat berries that sustained their lives! Wheat berries last forever. You can grind them. You can make your own flour. You can make your own bread. Do the research. Wheat Berries have all the nutrients in them to sustain human life indefinitely.
I have stocked up on bulk medicinal dried herbs and teas as well as essential oils and seeds for the herbs. If I can't get HBP meds there are many herbs that can treat it. I'm also in the process of making antibiotics using vodka and oregano. Oh, and stocking up on Vodka for making medicines.
We started with freeze dried then we built up our pantry from the grocery store. That was years ago. There wasn't such an urgency back then and food was a lot cheaper. Just do what you can afford. It doesn't take that long to build up 6 months for a couple of people.
Freeze dried food in my opinion is my final stage go to for preparedness i have all the basic stuff and i see this as an additional bonus that i can have fo safeguard my sovereignty. Its not even the first thing i'm gonna go to in a disaster except for immune boost because i love that stuff and that coffee.
Freedom seeds...now you're talking, Bub!
Great that you are going back to basics for people. Helping people decide what to prep first and then what to add on will save a lot of people from wasting money and not having what they really need.
I am a mylar bag junkie. They just work great for us. I know use them for regularly consumed pantry items , just to keep them extra fresh. The bags can be used many times over. Great video Rudy thank you 😊. Also I break down into smaller packs otc Tylenol etc. That way if someone needs some it's easier to manage & you needn't show your cache to anyone.
You're not cute, grandma.
@@angrydragon4574 you're not a dragon ...
How can you use them over and over? You don't seal them?
@@sophiadelaird7375 I only heat seal the long tern storage ones, most mylar bags have a pinch close like a zip lock type bag. I use them for oatmeal packs, snacks, flour etc & you can reuse them for the same items for sure .
@@The-Cute-One which ones, exactly, do you use? I adk because when I shop for them, and see reviews on Amazon, people frequently complain about tiny holes in the bags they bought. Do knowing EXACTLY who sells trustworthy bags really matters. Thanks
PLEASE.....Please start to GROW YOUR OWN FOOD...We uploaded some gardening videos if anyones interested. Hope to inspire some to move out of the cities and grow their own food in preparation for what's coming.... Not much of a channel but just trying to help others not make the same mistakes we made. Stay blessed everyone...
Edit to add a Ty for allowing my comment
This is one of the best videos on prepping I've seen. As always, you knocked it out of the park. Thank you.
We moved from NV to SD, sold our house and bought one that has a basement. It’s very cool down there of course in winter but not really cold so I believe it will be cool in summer also. I have pretty much the same food you have. I just went through everything for expiration dates. And, don’t forget your spices! 😃 I don’t think you’re supposed to vacuum seal sugar with oxygen absorbers. Get broccoli sprouting seeds. They grow in one week for great nutrition.
Mung beans too.
Great video, AP! Thank you!
Great information AP!! ❤
Thank you for your videos 😊👍🏻
Great overview AP👍👍👍
Well put!
I just love your practical ideas. Thank you!
hello, i really enjoy your show, you are very thoughtful and well spoken. i have been a small family farmer for 30 years now. I would like to add that with your seeds, they should be open pollinated (op) so that you can save the seeds for the next season. All the best
Thank you for this info AP.
I see all of these videos on prepper pantries. Frankly I'm a little scared. I thought I was doing okay but now I see what I have is really not much at all. I know I don't have to compare one pantry to another for my needs, but I have gravely underestimated what's coming. 🥺 I, as Bear would say, am not trying to have a peasant mentality, but affording prepping more than I have is almost impossible. We are down to one income. (Have had to have some surgeries the past 4 yrs. Last year was a cervical disc replacement, unfortunately not successful. But it could have been worse. And please, no pity but could use some prayers). I really am trying to be a good steward. Sadly, husband is not so much on board with prepping. Mostly because he thinks the money we do have, needs ro go elsewhere, even when it CAN be a few dollars extra to be used for prepping. He likes shopping online, just not for what I think would help us.
So I'm just praying.
Just get what you can. It’s my opinion there will be food available. It might not be what you like, but if you are hungry you’ll eat what you can get.
Crystal, I can kind of relate. We have always had only one income, and we're doing OK, even with my prepping. But 2 months ago, our son and his wife moved in with us, and now I find that, of course, my 24-year-old son can eat a WHILE LOT MORE than his 61-year-old daddy! I'm currently doing a pantry challenge for the month of January, where I do not rely on grocery runs to feed the fam. I feel like I didn't get enough meat. And I didn't think enough ahead on a few things, like how much flour I would need for bread-making.
Anyway, I'll pray for you, Crystal, if you'll pray for me. I'm certain the Lord is going to get us through this, and that He has AMAZING plans for us on the other side!❤️🙏✝️
For those needing surgery, most hospitals have a charity dept. that helps lower income folks. They can forgive some of your medical expenses. Talk to them right after surgery because the time limit if strict.
Also talk to other companies you are dealing with on medical charges. They might do the same.
Praying 🙏 for you. Maybe you can tuck away a few cans or package s each week. Out of sight out of mind.🤔 I'll pray that your husband see the need to prep and have a cushion of food. Blessings
Always prepping 👍
TFS AP!
Very informative!
Very helpful video! Thank you!
Thanks AP! I really enjoyed this one!
Besides the canned, dry and repackaged and my own canning I get the ingredient freeze dried foods from Augason Farms and others. Next month I'm getting the Augason Farms fruit bucket. I have purchased fruits from Walmart but I've found I'll nibble up the fruits before I need them lol. Nummy!
I've dehydrated my own fruits and vegetables but I know they will last longer freeze dried and pre canned. I get this for the long long term preps.
Thank you Rudy. You are encouraging and helping me to learn.
Great video. Thank you!
You're awesome AP! Thanks for all your prepping tips, they all make sense. 👍
Thanks so much sir.
Good video AP.👍
I do have a few freeze dried items purchased way back when cheap. A soup that I thought if things got really bad I’d just add hot water & we’d have a meal. Those items are for long term storage. Most other items are standard rice, beans, lentils.
Great information Rudy! Thanks for sharing. 🙏👍🇺🇸
Thanks for posting these tips! I was just discussing this exact topic with my prepper group tonight. Every point the group mentioned was highlighted by your video! Thanks for all you do, and keep up the good work!
Well Done Rudy. Every new prepper should see this video.
You never fail to provide a great video I’m like a mid level city living prepped but I still prep
Thank u sir.
Thank you Rudy. Hope y'all are doing well.
This is the first time I’ve seen your pantry. It’s awesome!
Rudy I love the way you describe things, you explain it very well as far as long-term food storage goes.
Awesome x
Good video AP! Repackage, Rotate & Replace! 💜🦉
AP, you could be growing some of your greens indoors during the winter months. I have leaf lettuce, different varieties, and small onions growing right now, and I have been enjoying fresh salads and greens with my meals. I bet it would work with cilantro. Although, my family does not eat cilantro, ever. To us, it tastes like soap.
Good advice I’d say.💜
I have been preparing for almost 3 years. Covid 2020 taught me a lot. I starting canning items from local farmers and I have ordered dehydrated items such as butter, eggs, milk and cheese. I have very long term items vacuum sealed and in buckets. You are correct in staying prepared regardless of what your reasons are. It's just smart. I am not an expert gardener but at least I am learning and preserving seeds.
Thank you for sharing with us. What a dear family! Blessings!
Another great video Rudy. Thank you and this was really a super informative video. Folks that have recently started prepping needed this video and it is always good advice for us old time preppers to. Blessings and stay safe. 💛🙏😁
Hello AP and community. Watching from Colorado.
I love how you care about your subscribers
Thank you for all your help.l appreciate it.🇨🇦👍
Thank you! THIS is the video that I am going to share with my husband to "explain"! :D
Thanks! Sent an earlier message, but wanted to add the thanks!
Thank you, friend! Very instructive & inspirational! Idk if I missed it, but I wonder how long you've been prepping? I also wonder how many thousands of dollars you've spent? Your pantry is amazing & I am very happy for you & your family! I am a retired widow with a teeny income, but I'm going to keep working at it as much as I can. God bless you and your family!
Freedom seeds, love it!
