    You know, I’m glad you are bringing up toilet paper emergencies not just being for zombie apocalypse. I would also like to add that it is really nice to have these things at home for example if you are alone and your whole family gets sick and can’t go to the store.

    I love that you don't can, preserve everything. There are so many people starting out in the store bought stage and many stay there. Love the collaboration and how it shows the variety of methods of aquiring a solid foundation for food storage.

    Thanks for sharing your pantry! You reminded me of things, I should have. You are so right, about why to have food storage- loss of job, illness, power outages and storms. My coworker’s husband just had a injury and he’s going to be out of work for eight months, so they are down to one income. A well stocked pantry would help them immensely!

    Pads and tampons make wonderful 1st aid products as well for heavy bleeding from cuts. I had to use them before ;) we also have a cigar to make into a poultice to pull out wasp stingers. Hubby taught me that.

      OHHHH a cigar!! Great Idea. We saved the pads from our cloth diapers to use for pads or for wounds as well. They are in the bug-out-bags.

    Nice storage area for your grocery. Did you know that plastics are porous. It's not recommended to store plastics containing food on a concrete floor. Place them off the floor or at least place a vapor barrier on the floor under buckets.
    Pasta left in the cardboard boxes can contain pantry pests and spread to all the boxes. They can absorb odor, moisture and be invaded by mice/voles. I have stored mine in large tins and glass jars for a decade with no color, or flavor changes. Hope this info helps.

    Regarding canned ground beef: rinsing it removes the smell and it’s awesome for heavily spiced things like taco meat. I love having instant tacos/nachos/enchiladas, and we use it almost exclusively for that.

      This is my first time here, too, by the way.

    When I can and don’t have a full load I put jars of water but don’t seal them. That way I don’t use up my jars with just water. Do you know if that is ok? I’m new to canning and still struggling with my confidence and am scared I will make a mistake and cause my family to be sick.

    • @absentacresmn
      @absentacresmn  7 месяцев назад +1

      I always seal mine. You can use it as sterile water. I don't see why NOT sealing them would make a huge difference. The purpose is to fill space for proper pressure regulation. IMO, it is no different than if your jar didn't seal after processing. So I say, keep doing what you're doing. 😊

      I'm sorry you see it that way. There's a lot more than just food that would 'go to waste' in a fire. Pretty sure this will be the least of my worries.
      As for water, most of these things are in water proof containers (glass jars, buckets, even some of the original packaging). It is a risk I'm willing to take.
