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 !
And I bet a lot of that went to waste....shes in Utah, so unless shes part of the mormon cult, most of that will go to waste. Like all the powdered milk etc.
@@justmissjamey Right, grandma used to can meats and veggies from their fall harvest, to get ready for the winter months, much the stuff is good for a year and sufficient for emergency's !
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 :)
@@rhwinterestThey are prepared for any amount of time they might have to do with out a grocery store, assuming they are growing, harvesting, and canning their produce as well. 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. Will pray for everyone. Be safe y'all. Victory gardens/bucket gardens everywhere....
Next Tip... Buy all spices that you can whole. Whole spices hold their potency much better than preground. All you need to grind them is a cheap electric or manual coffee grinder. Whole spices can last years and years. Like your video, nice setup u have going.
What a beautiful food storage pantry. My hubby said shame on you for sharing because he has more items on his honey do list 😉. We turned our formal living room into a pantry. I garden and can and feel it very necessary to plan ahead. My FoodSaver has a jar sealer and I love it. Thanks for the great video. I will check out your website.
Thank you for the great video. Don't let the negative comments bother you. I stock everyday items just like you and will use those first in time of need. I also have an impressive amount of self packed goods in Mylar with O2 absorbers that will keep good out to 25 yrs. Any food is better than no food. Better to have, than to have not. Good job on the video.
Hey thanks for the video. It is really nice to get ideas from other people. Also a lot of people don't realize that Mormons are required to work towards and keep a one year supply of food in case of job loses, harvest problems and what not. I'm not Mormon but I don't think that the church has changed this policy over the years. It just makes good sense in the economic times we live in today, more than ever before really.
good advice. think you may need to put your package food into food grade buckets. I lost a great deal during a mouse plague in our town. learned my lesson
Ok everyone relax, she is obviously nervous. One gallon of water per person per day. That means for drinking and washing yourself. This is a tip for you, don't toss out laundry jugs, fill empty laundry detergent jugs with water and store them, then if TSHTF you have soapy water to wash out your underwear with.
thank you Mrs. Cindy , when in need it will be there...helping OTHERS now will turn out helping each others in time of need.....information and knowledge thank all you ladies.
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.
We fill laundry bottles and 2 liter bottles. We have already used them a couple times when storms knocked out the electric. We have a well because we live in the country. We used them to flush the toilets and wash our hands.
Part of food storage is buying items I use on a regular basis. Not just for emergencies. I buy on sale and use it. The more expensive gas is getting the nicer it is to not need to run to the store everyday or week. Plus in an emergency I want to be able to feed my family familiar things. That will lessen stress levels and comfort also. Great video. I could only aspire to have as an organized system as you! Well Done!
New fan right here. Love the video and the pantry. Yes my heart jumped a beat with the 14 gallons (52 litres) per day comment but thanks to some comments on the vid I am resting a little easier. I don't know your name but thankyou. I must say I am more than impressed how ahead of the times you are. True prepper. Hats off. Subscribed
Another thing to remember is when storing food store inside the house in a cool dark place not in the Attic or garage or a shed outside also remember never store any type of cleaning products or any chemicals above your food always keep your food and other chemicals separate so you don't get cross-contamination and always store food that your family enjoys eating
Real milk in a box is available at dollar tree stores for one dollar. It doesn't need refrigeration until it is opened.Its surprisingly good, much better than powdered or canned milk.
@@LaMaiStyle I believe that's way too much and also think some of that stuff went or will go to waste. 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...
@@penelopepittstopP you need to store the rice in glass jars like canning jars or better yet gallon jars like the food service size. Rice and beans are a complete protein (so I'm told) I keep both in glass gallon jars that I got from the local deli I just asked them what they did with them and they said they throw them away... I asked if they could keep them for me and they agreed. I set up a time to pick them up 2 times a week (Monday and Thursday) so they don't have to have them stored long. I hope this helps someone.
@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 job on the video, thanks for sharing your tips. I'm glad you are taking steps to take care of your family in case of extended emergency. You are to be applauded for that. Way too many people keep their heads in the sand and think nothing could ever happen and they won't ever experience trouble
A rat ate through my rubbermaid tote and mylar...so now I store longterm in glass in tubs. Plus freeze your pasta, grain, oats, beans, etc. for a few days before storing it because in 6 months it may get bugs. I opened year old spagetti and it had been eaten by teeny bugs (it was powdery in places). Ick.. and $ wasted. Inventory is something I need to do...just to inspect and get a proper list. 😎
Good video on food storage, Many in comments have suggested better storage for certain items but other than that I applaud your vision an preparations.
Kicking myself in the ass for not doing this sooner. Trying to stock up on food during this corona virus pandemic is very difficult! God bless. Stay safe.
@Evan Owen Amen, I feel ya. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make em drink it brother. Been doin the same myself for a few years now. I have helped countless ppl with food, given away produce from my garden and not one of the ppl I have helped have either gardened theirselves nor come and help us with ours to get some food. Smh I'm about to say to the next person who asks for food to come and help me in the garden for the day, to get some food. For if you give a man a fish he won't learn a dang thang. lol
@Evan Owen Amen. I believe they are seeing signs down there that the rest of us aren't at the moment, and for a reason; they don't want us to. By the Grace of Father I've been awake for awhile now. The lines are being drawn. May Father Bless and protect you and yours brother.
Great video! I have been prepping since 2008 since the crash. I agree with you. You can never have too much water on hand. I carry a full case in my trunk at all times beside my bug out bag. Its amazing how fast I go through it. I am always replacing it.
Great video We have freeze dried food we bought in a bucket on Hsn. But we do stock up. Have powder milk. Grew up on powder milk. It's good in a pinch.
You might want to look into smaller sized mayo or any items requiring refrigeration. If a electricity is off, the last thing you want is to open a mayo for tuna sandwiches and have to throw away the leftovers. Thanks for the video.
keep a cooler with water in it in a cool dark place and this will help keep refrigerated items good. I have lived without a fridge for a time, bc of hard times, it does work. especially milk, helps it last longer, an helps it not freeze if you have to have it on your porch if its below freezing outside.
This is absolutely over the top and going to waste if your not careful type stuff. Reality is that yeah it seems nice to horde all of this, but then to actually use it, while bringing more stuff in, while not having anything go bad or expire is a legit issue here.
Justmiss jamey It’s not over the top what if her husband lost his job? What if there was an earthquake or another natural disaster? Store what you eat what you store that’s what we should do.
Be sure that you place 2x4 lumber strips between your cement floor (or another flooring) - called dunnage. Food containers somehow pick up the cement taste when not so protected. The items are also protected from water leaks, flooding, etc. H
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.
Totally agree. Have a 'working' pantry! Don't store everything thinking it will last forever! Some things will when properly stored, other things have to be 'rotated'! If you want FOREVER food buy those foods DESIGNED to store for 10, 20, 30 years or more and stockpile those...
@@justmissjamey You seem to have honed in on the 30 year mark but I did mention SHORTER shelf lives (what's that about?) 'Military MREs' (Military Ready to Eat) & their 'Civilian' counterparts are designed to last at least 7 to 10 years. You have to do your own research for Shelf Life longer than that but WWII MREs were still good when the Army decided to get rid of them in the 70s. Here is one such website: theepicenter.com/mre-meals-ready-to-eat.html
I know I’m late but this is beautiful so well put together I can’t stop watching 👍🏽. As of 2019 do you storage your food??? If so please share a video with us
Wow! Very well organized and very thoughful in ever detail. RESPECT!!! One question remains: How do you store foods that are rich in vitamins? 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?
@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.
@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.
Good info ... It was inspiring and I actually revised my own plans a little based on what I learned from your video. I appreciate the hard work and valuable information you have put into this.
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.
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.
Great food storage.I sincerly hope you stocked up on ITEMS to protect that food,from those that might want to take it away from you..Very good advice in your video.
I'm not a prepper but I believe it's a great thing to do! I haven't prepped because I haven't been able to finally due to being layed off my job again! I've been layer off three different jobs! It's frustrating But I love her food storage and wish I could have a pantry like that! Your right, the shit is going to hit the fan in America. And so many people are going to wish they had a stock like this! I feel bad for the ones who want to be able to do that but can't. I also think people should plant food where ever possible. Plant fruit trees etc. If people did that and helped each other instead of depending on corporations we would all be better off
@@donnabullock5761 I agree because (with the exception of just pure stupidity and those who also genuinely are good peopel but cant afford to stockpile) the ones who are irresponsible enough to not prepare also lack morals and will not think twice to steal, instead.
Came for more advice on a variety of storage ideas. It is currently almost the end of July 2020. I have a “ hinky” feeling that we will have a food shortage this coming fall, either directly because of Covid but also because some one is really trying to “stick it to “ the working poor of America. Winter is always hard for one reason or another and we have no control over Mother Nature. I already saw a projection in the area that we live, and it showed...”Polar Vortex! “ It is what it is ...or isn’t!
Great video!!! And something I definitely want to start doing. I really appreciate this video! I can’t seem to find a link to the lists you’ve mentioned. Can you share those please? 🙏🏼
@heirloomessentials BTW, this lady definately has the right idea; and I too admire her intellect and foresight to prepare for harder times, while you're actually able to do so. I've explained to all of my friends and family the benefits of food storage, and i'm happy to see most of them work towards their food stores. Sucks to see others completely ignore advice(like in this video) but like I said, im not gonna save the world. Can't feed everyone, but i'll try to teach them to feed themselves
Awesome video. Your food storage area is incredible. One suggestion about using plastic totes, I wouldn't underestimate the ability of a rodent, he could easily chew through the plastic. You guys have it together. You have a top notch food storage cellar. lol.
Couple of tips... You should rack your 55gal water drums up in gravity feed racks with a hose bib type spigot on the outlet so you don't need a pump to get it out. That's what we do with chemicals at work that come in a drum. Also all those thin water bottles cut and burst easily, I had a bunch of gallon jugs of water in my closet on a shelf and one day I had a pool of water in my hallway :( better to just dispense from the drum into a nalgene to take with you. Just keep a case or two of pre b
actually peanutbutter and ramen is a great mix. it's what i always have in my pantry. add some hot sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder and sesame oil and you have great satay ramen
Ahh, thank you, Ms Mopsi! I have never been a huge fan of ramen, but I always keep some on hand as a quick, cheap pantry meal. Your suggestions might make it downright edible. I love satay! 😃👍
Because there are so few people like us that are Preparing, our homes will be a target when things get really really bad. All i will say is be able to protect yourself your family and your property.
Presque autant d'articles sur les étagères que dans une véritable épicerie ! Je ne sais pas si vous continuez à faire des stocks comme ça mais c'est impressionnant et puis pendant le confinement vous ne manquiez de rien !
I have a few questions. How big is your family?, How much did you spend on all the food? And I could not understand when you said your website. Thanks!
Sorry, I was born & raised in the South. Your second question, if you'll pardon me saying so, is very rude! A person's income, how much land they own, or how much they spent on their home, car or food storage is very personal. It is nobody's business, and it is very rude to ask. Okay, manners and etiquette lesson is done for the day. 🙂😉
Rodents can definitely chew through a plastic container. You can get galvanized metal containers that have lids that actually latch down. No rodents or animals can get into it. Hardware stores usually have them
We live in a pre-Civil War brick douse with a stone foundation, and unfortunately mice do find their way occasionally and they HAVE chewed through some Rubbermaid tubs we had stored under a guest bed. It can happen.
I have read that sprouted wheat has most vitamins. I would definitely have some fd vegetables in the food storage but I would also have seeds to sprout. That is how I think health would best maintained.
yes sprouts, or microgreens are more nutrient dense than just growing them to fruition, but you have to know how to grow and how things grow in your area to be able to harvest more seed to save...If you aren't gardening you should be.
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.
Not me LOL. That is justcanother lie by our slave handlers as part of agenda21. Newcworld order take over. Look at how the entire world /all countries are beginning to look more the samecin regards to thevloss of our rights. Americans are very fooled to think it isnt going to become lile china very soon. Prepare for NWO and fighting against forced vaccines as well as to save your children from death by thrse sickos. Not some fake virus.
This is eleven years old but Do you not have to seal up your cereals and dry goods to prevent bugs from getting in them? I've seen that alot on some other videos. I just wondered. I'm trying to store some things, not much money so doing best I can. Great video..I wish I had been a prepper years ago!!!! LOL, even if I could help feed hungry people in future, it would make me feel so much better
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.
Yeah, but then there are those of us who live in the high deserts in the Rockie (named for a reason) Mountains. I get what you're saying, and I do NOT support the repeated purchase of cases of plastic water bottles, but not all have the resources that you do.
What scenarios exactly are people prepping for with such a large stockpile? I’d hate to have all that then have to bug out due to a natural disaster, war, or some other incident where you need to get out of dodge!
Well considering it's 2020 and coronavirus is here, I'd say that this is a plausible scenario to be prepping to bug in for. If countries like USA lose control and their last resort is martial law you are going to want to have supplies for a long term bug in. This lady has been prepping since 2009. Lucky her right now.
Not only that, but try asking survivors of Katrina - both those who prepped, and those who didn't. You will probably hear a lot of should a, would a, could aves. There are far more reasons to stay & hunker down, than there are to bug out. It's just wise, imo.
Hi. I've been prepping for about 4 years now. Just started to add powdered milk to my storage. I didn't see filters so you can filter warer id need to. Life straws and bulk water filters. Do you recommend having thoughs? In your pails how long will the dry pasta and such last past expire date?
This is all I want in my life now. Forget all that materialistic stuff. Like is that Gucci purse gonna feed your family for a month? Lol Seriously though. This is goals. Shes years ahead of the game. You go girl.

You're right, never is enough water, food, medicines, guns and ammunition.
Why all this storage? I can see a month or two but this is a lot.

Me too
What a beautiful food storage pantry. My hubby said shame on you for sharing because he has more items on his honey do list 😉. We turned our formal living room into a pantry. I garden and can and feel it very necessary to plan ahead. My FoodSaver has a jar sealer and I love it. Thanks for the great video. I will check out your website.

Your pantry is amazing. I would love to have something like that. I will at some point. Thanks for sharing. Janice
the time is now don’t put it off . now the grocery stores have limits so you can’t stock up as fast
When I bring home groceries I date everything I can with a black marker. Helps with the rotation of food.
Same here. Takes a few extra minutes, but is oh so helpful down the line.
Hey thanks for the video. It is really nice to get ideas from other people. Also a lot of people don't realize that Mormons are required to work towards and keep a one year supply of food in case of job loses, harvest problems and what not. I'm not Mormon but I don't think that the church has changed this policy over the years. It just makes good sense in the economic times we live in today, more than ever before really.
Great vid for being so young. I'm 72 and u have done a wonderful job to take care of our family.👏👏👏🤗
good advice. think you may need to put your package food into food grade buckets. I lost a great deal during a mouse plague in our town. learned my lesson
I put everything in tubs that I don't can for that reason, living in the country you live/you learn. ;)
Also water gets in those totes! My basement flooded and I lost everything in the totes.
Also I would not store the wheat in just bags. Asking for bugs
Ok everyone relax, she is obviously nervous. One gallon of water per person per day. That means for drinking and washing yourself. This is a tip for you, don't toss out laundry jugs, fill empty laundry detergent jugs with water and store them, then if TSHTF you have soapy water to wash out your underwear with.
thank you Mrs. Cindy , when in need it will be there...helping OTHERS now will turn out helping each others in time of need.....information and knowledge thank all you ladies.
Does the water have to be distilled? Since water does go bad even with the detergent eventually if it has bacteria.
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.
We fill laundry bottles and 2 liter bottles. We have already used them a couple times when storms knocked out the electric. We have a well because we live in the country. We used them to flush the toilets and wash our hands.
Good idea
One of the best food storage videos I have seen.
Part of food storage is buying items I use on a regular basis. Not just for emergencies. I buy on sale and use it. The more expensive gas is getting the nicer it is to not need to run to the store everyday or week. Plus in an emergency I want to be able to feed my family familiar things. That will lessen stress levels and comfort also. Great video. I could only aspire to have as an organized system as you! Well Done!
New fan right here. Love the video and the pantry. Yes my heart jumped a beat with the 14 gallons (52 litres) per day comment but thanks to some comments on the vid I am resting a little easier. I don't know your name but thankyou. I must say I am more than impressed how ahead of the times you are. True prepper. Hats off. Subscribed
Another thing to remember is when storing food store inside the house in a cool dark place not in the Attic or garage or a shed outside also remember never store any type of cleaning products or any chemicals above your food always keep your food and other chemicals separate so you don't get cross-contamination and always store food that your family enjoys eating
Real milk in a box is available at dollar tree stores for one dollar. It doesn't need refrigeration until it is opened.Its surprisingly good, much better than powdered or canned milk.
How long of a shelf life does the Milk in a box have?
Becki Wildeman I found some at Walmart, but haven't been able to find it since, and it was 6 months. Natrel Whole milk. it is good too
Chris Longski thanks man. even cheaper than walmart
Ken Landon I have and use Dairy Pure
Parmalat milk is awesome for the storage we used all the time in huracanes ...
You were ahead of the curve a few years ago ! Good job!
Beautiful storage! Ignore the haters, you’re doing great!!
Becca Scraps those haters wish they had this today with the pandemic of corona virus
@@LaMaiStyle I believe that's way too much and also think some of that stuff went or will go to waste. 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.
Justmiss jamey then don’t do it. But don’t trash on someone who’s actually trying to be responsible.

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...
I bought 50lb bags of rice and mice got into ALL of them. YUCKKKKK! Time to start over.
@@penelopepittstopP you need to store the rice in glass jars like canning jars or better yet gallon jars like the food service size. Rice and beans are a complete protein (so I'm told) I keep both in glass gallon jars that I got from the local deli I just asked them what they did with them and they said they throw them away... I asked if they could keep them for me and they agreed. I set up a time to pick them up 2 times a week (Monday and Thursday) so they don't have to have them stored long. I hope this helps someone.
Lol
@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 job on the video, thanks for sharing your tips. I'm glad you are taking steps to take care of your family in case of extended emergency. You are to be applauded for that. Way too many people keep their heads in the sand and think nothing could ever happen and they won't ever experience trouble
A rat ate through my rubbermaid tote and mylar...so now I store longterm in glass in tubs. Plus freeze your pasta, grain, oats, beans, etc. for a few days before storing it because in 6 months it may get bugs. I opened year old spagetti and it had been eaten by teeny bugs (it was powdery in places). Ick.. and $ wasted. Inventory is something I need to do...just to inspect and get a proper list. 😎
@GameStopNY The reason why she says to buy things that you regularly eat, is so that you can regularly rotate out items with new items.
Thank you so much for this video all my friends with children are going to appreciate this like you wouldn't believe thank you again.
Good video on food storage, Many in comments have suggested better storage for certain items but other than that I applaud your vision an preparations.
Right. At least she has food ,and lots of it compared to those who have very little or nonr,when it comes to any kind of stockpile.
Wow! You sound so smart! Thank you for the information.
Kicking myself in the ass for not doing this sooner. Trying to stock up on food during this corona virus pandemic is very difficult! God bless. Stay safe.
Evan Owen Since my last message I have loaded up on beans, rice, lentils and split peas. Thank you for your wonderful message. God bless.
@Evan Owen Amen, I feel ya. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make em drink it brother. Been doin the same myself for a few years now. I have helped countless ppl with food, given away produce from my garden and not one of the ppl I have helped have either gardened theirselves nor come and help us with ours to get some food. Smh I'm about to say to the next person who asks for food to come and help me in the garden for the day, to get some food. For if you give a man a fish he won't learn a dang thang. lol
@Evan Owen Amen. I believe they are seeing signs down there that the rest of us aren't at the moment, and for a reason; they don't want us to. By the Grace of Father I've been awake for awhile now. The lines are being drawn. May Father Bless and protect you and yours brother.
yes with the grocery stores having a limit on things
@Evan Owen Blessings and prayers for you and yours as well Brother. We shall shout Victory together one day. Eyes on the prize. ;)
Great video! I have been prepping since 2008 since the crash. I agree with you. You can never have too much water on hand. I carry a full case in my trunk at all times beside my bug out bag. Its amazing how fast I go through it. I am always replacing it.
HealthyPrepper heat and cold and leach plastic not so good for you. It’s wet but not good for your health .
I'd love to see you replace it with a reusable water bottle, and backseat-sized refillable dispenser. No more throw-away plastic bottles, please!
Thank you for taking the time to share these simple "How to do..." tips. H
The preppers are the ones laughing now
I oven can pasta, oats, grits, rice. I put my sugar in containers with lids out of paper bags.
Great Video ... loved it.... thanks for great prepps info.
Great video
We have freeze dried food we bought in a bucket on Hsn. But we do stock up. Have powder milk. Grew up on powder milk. It's good in a pinch.
You might want to look into smaller sized mayo or any items requiring refrigeration. If a electricity is off, the last thing you want is to open a mayo for tuna sandwiches and have to throw away the leftovers. Thanks for the video.
Mayonnaise actually doesn't require refrigeration after opening. (Real Mayonnaise only. Miracle Whip type of spreads do.)
keep a cooler with water in it in a cool dark place and this will help keep refrigerated items good. I have lived without a fridge for a time, bc of hard times, it does work. especially milk, helps it last longer, an helps it not freeze if you have to have it on your porch if its below freezing outside.
11 years ago you were ahead of the pandemic. Be safe every body
@Jared Mutchler yes, yes she is!!!
There's been several pandemics in the past decade, just none got to this level.
This is absolutely over the top and going to waste if your not careful type stuff. Reality is that yeah it seems nice to horde all of this, but then to actually use it, while bringing more stuff in, while not having anything go bad or expire is a legit issue here.
Justmiss jamey It’s not over the top what if her husband lost his job? What if there was an earthquake or another natural disaster? Store what you eat what you store that’s what we should do.
People used to laugh at these people now they're saying that they were wise
Great video!!! Having food your family is used to will be a great aid in times of stress.
Be sure that you place 2x4 lumber strips between your cement floor (or another flooring) - called dunnage. Food containers somehow pick up the cement taste when not so protected. The items are also protected from water leaks, flooding, etc. H
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.
"If you ever had to eat out of your food storage" - follow instead the concept of an expanded pantry: Eat what you store and store what you eat.
Totally agree. Have a 'working' pantry! Don't store everything thinking it will last forever! Some things will when properly stored, other things have to be 'rotated'! If you want FOREVER food buy those foods DESIGNED to store for 10, 20, 30 years or more and stockpile those...
@@Ms.Byrd68 what kind of food is meant to last "30 years"?
@@justmissjamey You seem to have honed in on the 30 year mark but I did mention SHORTER shelf lives (what's that about?)
'Military MREs' (Military Ready to Eat) & their 'Civilian' counterparts are designed to last at least 7 to 10 years. You have to do your own research for Shelf Life longer than that but WWII MREs were still good when the Army decided to get rid of them in the 70s.
Here is one such website: theepicenter.com/mre-meals-ready-to-eat.html
@@justmissjamey Freeze-dried food has an expected storage life of 30 years. Mountain House is widely regarded as the best.
Justmiss jamey beans, wheat berries and corn last 30 years.
I know I’m late but this is beautiful so well put together I can’t stop watching 👍🏽. As of 2019 do you storage your food??? If so please share a video with us
Now your a great prepper . Good for you hun . GODBLESS you n your family🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
I m a saved Christian. I’m not going nuts about hoarding food. I can grow, trap , hunt and forage , fish and cook. You need skills.
I bet a family of four could live for a good year or more with all of that food, that is a huge amount. Very good.
Wow! Very well organized and very thoughful in ever detail. RESPECT!!! One question remains: How do you store foods that are rich in vitamins? 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?
New to your channel. Coronovirus 2020. Love your pantry.
@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.
That's more ketchup than I would eat in a lifetime. Keep up the great job. The world needs more people like you.
Enjoyed watching again..... Thank you. We are going to buy more water right now.
Thank you for your videos very informative! Good work. You're awesome!
Awesome vid! I wish my food storage looked like yours! lol I'm just building up a supply and its nowhere near what you have. Well done!!
Love this! Great video
Amazing food storage tips I love the ideas you given I learn a lot thanks
@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.
That ketchup, mustard, & BQ sauce wont last. The color tends to TURN!!!!!
This is a BEAUTIFUL FOOD STORAGE! THANKS FOR SHARING!
I was thinking the same thing, I can't eat Brown ketchup! But her setup is immaculate!
Good info ... It was inspiring and I actually revised my own plans a little based on what I learned from your video. I appreciate the hard work and valuable information you have put into this.
This was very helpful thank you very much 😊
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.
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.
Very informative thank you!
Great food storage.I sincerly hope you stocked up on ITEMS to protect that food,from those that might want to take it away from you..Very good advice in your video.
Wow, you presentation is Amazing, thank you for sharing...
You are going to be so prepared for what’s to come. You are awesome. We will have a food shortage soon.
I’m tired of non preppers thinking we are hoarders or bonkers. We will have full tummy’s they will struggle
Tammy Hanson they'll also rob you.
I'm not a prepper but I believe it's a great thing to do! I haven't prepped because I haven't been able to finally due to being layed off my job again! I've been layer off three different jobs! It's frustrating
But I love her food storage and wish I could have a pantry like that! Your right, the shit is going to hit the fan in America. And so many people are going to wish they had a stock like this!
I feel bad for the ones who want to be able to do that but can't.
I also think people should plant food where ever possible. Plant fruit trees etc. If people did that and helped each other instead of depending on corporations we would all be better off
@ce collie Exactly what I thought, Ce. They'll be in for a rude awakening.
@@donnabullock5761 I agree because (with the exception of just pure stupidity and those who also genuinely are good peopel but cant afford to stockpile) the ones who are irresponsible enough to not prepare also lack morals and will not think twice to steal, instead.

Came for more advice on a variety of storage ideas. It is currently almost the end of July 2020. I have a “ hinky” feeling that we will have a food shortage this coming fall, either directly because of Covid but also because some one is really trying to “stick it to “ the working poor of America. Winter is always hard for one reason or another and we have no control over Mother Nature. I already saw a projection in the area that we live, and it showed...”Polar Vortex! “ It is what it is ...or isn’t!

@heirloomessentials BTW, this lady definately has the right idea; and I too admire her intellect and foresight to prepare for harder times, while you're actually able to do so. I've explained to all of my friends and family the benefits of food storage, and i'm happy to see most of them work towards their food stores. Sucks to see others completely ignore advice(like in this video) but like I said, im not gonna save the world. Can't feed everyone, but i'll try to teach them to feed themselves
Excellent plan.
Feed them for a day, or teach them how to feed themselves for a lifetime. 😉
Awesome video. Your food storage area
is incredible. One suggestion about using
plastic totes, I wouldn't underestimate the
ability of a rodent, he could easily chew through the plastic. You guys have it together. You have a top notch food storage cellar. lol.
Couple of tips... You should rack your 55gal water drums up in gravity feed racks with a hose bib type spigot on the outlet so you don't need a pump to get it out. That's what we do with chemicals at work that come in a drum. Also all those thin water bottles cut and burst easily, I had a bunch of gallon jugs of water in my closet on a shelf and one day I had a pool of water in my hallway :( better to just dispense from the drum into a nalgene to take with you. Just keep a case or two of pre b
Have to ask....how do you keep bugs outta your dry goods.? Moths wheevals etc
Freeze for at least 3 days before storing to kill the bugs & eggs.
Store with a few bay leaves. They detest the smell.
actually peanutbutter and ramen is a great mix. it's what i always have in my pantry. add some hot sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder and sesame oil and you have great satay ramen
Add any cooked meat to the ramen, any veggie, eggs and enjoy!
That's what I thought, a little peanut butter makes a nice sauce with other ingredients.
Ahh, thank you, Ms Mopsi!
I have never been a huge fan of ramen, but I always keep some on hand as a quick, cheap pantry meal. Your suggestions might make it downright edible. I love satay! 😃👍
@@rosalinawebster8826 Also a good idea. Thanks!
So happy this came out on my feed. 😃
I like your tips. Thank you.
I am envious of your food stores. I hope to get there myself.
Because there are so few people like us that are Preparing, our homes will be a target when things get really really bad. All i will say is be able to protect yourself your family and your property.
Wow beautiful
Presque autant d'articles sur les étagères que dans une véritable épicerie ! Je ne sais pas si vous continuez à faire des stocks comme ça mais c'est impressionnant et puis pendant le confinement vous ne manquiez de rien !
@ReloadingAddict Heard many folks who lost their job and have lived off of the stored food to stretch the unemployment check! It just makes sense.
That is why rotation is so important. First in first out.
I cant find the supply guide that she talks about at 9:20. Has it moved? Does anybody know?
seconded!
I have a few questions. How big is your family?, How much did you spend on all the food? And I could not understand when you said your website. Thanks!
Sorry, I was born & raised in the South. Your second question, if you'll pardon me saying so, is very rude!
A person's income, how much land they own, or how much they spent on their home, car or food storage is very personal. It is nobody's business, and it is very rude to ask.
Okay, manners and etiquette lesson is done for the day. 🙂😉
Link missing from discription.
Rodents can definitely chew through a plastic container. You can get galvanized metal containers that have lids that actually latch down. No rodents or animals can get into it. Hardware stores usually have them
I would love for you to post more videos! You are so informative, Thanks!
We live in a pre-Civil War brick douse with a stone foundation, and unfortunately mice do find their way occasionally and they HAVE chewed through some Rubbermaid tubs we had stored under a guest bed. It can happen.
I have read that sprouted wheat has most vitamins. I would definitely have some fd vegetables in the food storage but I would also have seeds to sprout. That is how I think health would best maintained.
yes sprouts, or microgreens are more nutrient dense than just growing them to fruition, but you have to know how to grow and how things grow in your area to be able to harvest more seed to save...If you aren't gardening you should be.
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.
I’m here preparing for Coronavirus
Too late
Keep stocking up!!
Not me LOL. That is justcanother lie by our slave handlers as part of agenda21. Newcworld order take over. Look at how the entire world /all countries are beginning to look more the samecin regards to thevloss of our rights. Americans are very fooled to think it isnt going to become lile china very soon. Prepare for NWO and fighting against forced vaccines as well as to save your children from death by thrse sickos. Not some fake virus.
So smart. Oh I use my totes they really do come in handy for 😊
This is eleven years old but Do you not have to seal up your cereals and dry goods to prevent bugs from getting in them? I've seen that alot on some other videos. I just wondered. I'm trying to store some things, not much money so doing best I can. Great video..I wish I had been a prepper years ago!!!! LOL, even if I could help feed hungry people in future, it would make me feel so much better
Great advice!
Could you do a vido on how to build shelves like yours. Thanks :)
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.
You can put blue/green algae tablets in the water to purify it.
Yeah, but then there are those of us who live in the high deserts in the Rockie (named for a reason) Mountains.
I get what you're saying, and I do NOT support the repeated purchase of cases of plastic water bottles, but not all have the resources that you do.
I have had mice eat thru my plastic totes. So I now dry can my rice, beans, oats, etc. I vacuumed seal crackers, and snack items
What scenarios exactly are people prepping for with such a large stockpile? I’d hate to have all that then have to bug out due to a natural disaster, war, or some other incident where you need to get out of dodge!
Well considering it's 2020 and coronavirus is here, I'd say that this is a plausible scenario to be prepping to bug in for. If countries like USA lose control and their last resort is martial law you are going to want to have supplies for a long term bug in. This lady has been prepping since 2009. Lucky her right now.
Not only that, but try asking survivors of Katrina - both those who prepped, and those who didn't. You will probably hear a lot of should a, would a, could aves.
There are far more reasons to stay & hunker down, than there are to bug out. It's just wise, imo.
What a great pantry you have there!!
Where do I find the links to the list and forms you were talking about to help with your organization of the food pantry
Impressive. Thank you for the tips.
Hi. I've been prepping for about 4 years now. Just started to add powdered milk to my storage. I didn't see filters so you can filter warer id need to. Life straws and bulk water filters. Do you recommend having thoughs? In your pails how long will the dry pasta and such last past expire date?
This is all I want in my life now. Forget all that materialistic stuff. Like is that Gucci purse gonna feed your family for a month? Lol Seriously though. This is goals. Shes years ahead of the game. You go girl.
Did u vacuum seal or use mylan bags for the food in your bins?
