      Naw, she looks more like a binge buy or hoarder, lots of people have coupons and 10/20/30 at a time and stock pile, even if they don't need it, i have seen storage barns, garages lined with shelves and basement with storage on every wall, that is crazy because much of the stuff would be beyond shelf life and would have to be throw out, what you need is information how granny stocked the pantry for the winter, i rmember my granny canned veggies, soups and meat for the winter and keep them in the cellar !

      Truth be told, you really don't need to have much more than a years supply..Worst case scenario...SHTF... nearly everyone who isn't prepared would be dead in a few months anyway...You would need more than food and water too..Knowledge to rebuild.. tools to accomplish it... because whats the sense in being able to feed oneself for a year only to starve afterwards??

    I apologize for the confusion. It is one gallon per person per day. It is recommended to store 2 weeks worth of water for drinking/cooking/cleaning, etc. This would equal 14 gallons for a two week period. I apologize if I said 14 gallons per person per day--hey, you can't have too much water :)

We are heading into a grand solar minimum so we need to prepare for the fact that the weather is going to be shifty as well as colder than normal temps and strange weather that will keep food from being grown as easy, hence food shortages. Yes the schiff is about to hit the fan for those who aren't prepared. Right now they are giving supplements to people who receive free or reduced lunches in school, so that means there are ppl who are doing runs on the stores as we speak. Hope you got your stockpile.

      Flash357 Cindy was just talking about using it for washing clothes with. It should be fine. A mixture of water and detergent, in a closed off bottle, in a cool place without sunlight is not a great place for bacteria to start growing in.
      For drinking water you shouldn't use this water at all. Using this method will just greatly reduce the amount of drinking water you will use for other tasks.
      For your drinking water I'd always recommend boiling it for a couple minutes. It might not get the hard metals out that way, but atleast the bacteria are that.

It's a great idea to have a few things on hand, but the reality is that you are still bringing more in, and have to use it and keep track of dates and making sure things get used on time and not shoved in the back or use new vs stuff there etc. Ao while the idea seems like a great one, the reality of using/keeping track etc is not realistic for the majority of people. Plus, people in tight living spaces like New York barely have walk in studio apartments where you have to sleep/ live and pay out the butt for one room and a small bathroom, this wouldnt work for them.

    I live in FL and we just had Irma cruise on by! I was able to stay in my house but lost electric for 7 days. Within a week before Irma's arrival, the stores were packed with panicked people for supplies, mainly water. Me on the other hand started prepping my home more for long term due to the Political race that was going on, starting about 2 years ago. Everything is ok now! :) Due to having a large generator I was able to cook with no problems. Don't ever keep plastic water jugs for long term, they will burst! I had 6 of the burst and shrink up the plastic gallon jug. I use glass only, that will last a life time. I used 1/2 gallon ball jars and prefilled VOSS glass water plus I have 24 empty glass water holders from Amazon. I also have a small refrigerator that will store 120 bottles of water. I already had food storage using my home canned items and mylar bags. Food needs to be stored in food grade containers. NOT plastic bins. I do not mean to discredit this video but it was done in 2009 and things have changed. I think you did a beautiful job on your storage room but it just needs to be updated a bit. I would love to see an updated video from you. People be prepared! The panic all over FL was overwhelming! Irma is nothing compared to what could ever happen in this crazy World. Irma was a great eye opener for most of the people. Keep your food storage private! God Bless...

      @Himself Lee I've heard this said numerous times lately, and I can understand it in these current times, even though I never had kids. I'd like to offer a suggestion, however...
      My mother grew up in The Depression. Therefore, she learned the value of raising, canning & storing food.
      When she married & moved from farm to city, she traded root cellar for freezer and learned to stock up during sales, and to cook extra now to eat later during leaner times.
      When I came along, as an only child, I was my mother's shadow. I tagged along in the grocery store, unloaded groceries, and became Mother's Helper in the kitchen. Every step of the way, she used these times as teaching opportunities.
      She never gave up her thrifty ways. And since it happened throughout my lifetime, it just seemed normal to me, so I never felt any need to brag to friends. To be honest, I was well into adulthood before I realized not everyone lived the way we did.
      Her skills as a homemaker meant we would never go without clothing, and we would never go hungry. I thank God for my mother, and the very natural way she taught me these same very valuable skills. 🙏🏻

    Great information and awesome pantry. Your family and friends are fortunate to have someone who is concerned and thinking about their well being when “stuff” hits the fan.
    A reliable formula for average water intake is your body weight divided by 2 is how many ounces of water you will need to drink per day, more activity increases the amount you need to replenish your fluids. Keep in mind your electrolytes and keeping them balanced with your water intake.

    @heirloomessentials I am doing absolutely nothing to help those starving people I dont know. I cant, and wont, save the world; but i'll definately do everything I can to feed my family and loved ones. I have run into situations where long-term food storage would have made life easier, so that's why I work towards my families food storage plan. I just cant stand those who rag on people who store up food or resources, and then say "Why dont you help others?" Heres a novel idea, feed yourself.

      Nathan Barnes, frankly, I don't blame you one bit. But that's a decision & choice each person must make for themselves. Who knows how we'll feel if an emergency actually occurs? I would not judge or criticize anyone's decision, because we all live with different circumstances. I don't have any family left, for example, so my situation is entirely different from yours.
      Personally, I donate as well as stock up.
      I don't like the idea of helping people who have not helped me when I've needed it. Or lazy people. Or people who only buy expensive toys, are spoiled, or entitled.
      Then again, I don't know if I could turn away a single mother, or an elderly or disabled person. I just don't know what I would do.
      I would like to think I would be of help to someone, as opposed to being bitter or suspicious. That's just me.
      I just hope to God that my life is not threatened in any way, over what I have.
      Being a believer, I trust that God will show me what to do, should the time come.

    Covid 19 brought me here. At this time is is May 3rd 2020. People are in the streets protesting to allow cities to be opened. Meanwhile my city Washington DC is hitting its highest number of deaths per day. The weather is getting warmer and people are starting to feel the need to be outside. Along with this it is expected that the winter will see a spike in Covid Cases possibly much worse than what the United States experienced in March and April. This will lead to the possibility of more supply chains shutting down and making certain foods scarcity to cause people to panic buy at the same time causing grocery stores to be out of stock of essential foods. This will mean that people will possibly have to share their food resources with each other. Time will tell how 2020 ends.

    • @saundrajohnson1571
      @saundrajohnson1571 4 года назад

      Precisely why stocking up now would be well-advised. I don't mean panic-hoarding, God forbid! I mean, buy on sale...
      Instead of buying one, buy two. Follow your stores weekly circulars. If they have a BOGO sale, take advantage of it. If they sell 10 for $10, either buy 10 of one item, or five of one thing & five of something else.
      Following this practice will enable you to begin a good stock of a variety of foods, while still leaving plenty on the shelves for everyone else. You'll save money, too. Not only are you buying everything on sale, but grocery prices rarely - if ever actually go down.

    @Archer46176 True with amount. I have see of late that the classic 8 of 8oz a day has been brought down somewhat like 5-6per day. The Berkey filter would be fantastic way to go to extend the supply. One tip is to get a covered rain barrel and divert a (clean) downspout into it. That could be used for wash-up and flushing if you didn't have a filter.

What I see in these shelfs is tons of carbohydrates, sugar, fat and almost all ntrients a human being needs. But only very little vitamines. Canned fruits (as you probably know) are tasty and rich in sugar but don't retain the vitamines very well. Freeze dried fruits actually are a very good option but they are very expensive. So, how do do it?

    I also have a large food storage...but lots of the products you have are GMO, artificial colors and flavors, MSG, etc. I know organic is more expensive, but you should consider. I;m not knocking you, just a tip. Wal-Mart, Target, Case Wise, COOP's carry organic food, and when you get sale, sometimes the organic can be a real good buy. Cash Wise recently had a sale on canned green beans, corn, baked beans, peas. They were only .99 cents each, so I bought 500 cans. They have a 2015 date.

    Its great to see other people spreading help... but you are mis-informed about a few things. and my personal advice is store more food that will last longer, the cans will last a while but it is good to store food that lasts a long time. If you do not regularly rotate your foods with a short shelf life they could be bad when you need them.

      And
      First in, first out.
      I can assure you she regularly dates, rotates, and uses what she has, so that it doesn't have a chance to go bad.
      Before any of my groceries get put away, I write the dates with a Sharpie in an easily-visible place for just that purpose. 😉

  • @71160000
    @71160000 6 лет назад +4

    I believe most people who want to start prepping should first look at shelf life of different foods and ways to preserve them before purchasing large amounts of food that may go bad long before you can use them. In my opinion the most important thing you can do to prep is to find a water source instead of trying to save thousands of gallons of water. In my area the shallowest water table is twenty seven feet down. You can hand drill a well and get a hand pump that will supply you with all the clean water you need even though you will likely have to treat the water to make it safe if it's coming from near the surface. Still it will likely be safer than surface water from ponds and creeks. Just knowing you'll not run out or water to provide for washing, flushing, cooking, etc. will save a lot in the long term storage.
