That is interesting! I have only two people I prep for: me (ready to eat worms and hardtack washed down with a few lifestraw slurps from a mud puddle) and my wife (who walks in our pantry room every day, looks at 6 months of wall to wall food, and declares, "There's nothing to eat!") 🤦♂️
Right
That comment made my night!! Lol. I do the same thing! 🙃
Lol
I have this system and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I can finally keep accurate track of all my preps (food and non-food items) I deleted my excel sheet because now I can tally what I have based on my family's needs. I truly thought I had everything we needed for a year. Boy was I wrong! With this, I can see exactly what I need to purchase every time I'm at the store. Every prepper should have this system and keep up with it regularly. Mike is especially helpful when I have questions, too. The man is a genius! Get it now!! 😁
We have been doing an Excel Spreadsheet tracking system for over 30 years.
Oh yeah, I got this and it is fantastic. I purchased this, and not computer savvy If you are like me definitely watch his videos before, they will help you make sense of using the program.
THANKS FOR SHARING!
I recently purchased this and I can’t wait to get started!!
I love the bar graph!
I got it from Prepper Nerd and have just started entering all my stores. A little overwhelming going thru everything that I stored everywhere in my house but once done I can get rid of all the lists I have that are not working!! I think it is going to be such great tool. Excited about using it
Being a Nerd myself, I am attracted to this inventory system. However, it seems like it suffers from the same problem as my current inventory system. It takes personal discipline to deduct items from the inventory when used. If you have multiple family members that becomes more difficult. I may use it to track more of my long term food and prepper supplies that aren't used on a regular basis. Are you using this system now?
I have the same problem. When I take the time to rotate my new purchases, I count what I have and update my list. This way I’m updating a little at a time and it’s not so overwhelming. I have a “holding area” for when I can’t take time to rotate, but it doesn’t go on my list til it’s in the “real” storage area.
I subscribed after Prepper Nerd was live streaming with The Urban Prepper and I've just gotten started on putting my storage into the system and I'm pleased with what I have so far.... 19 Days but only put in my canned Veggies, Soups, Ketchup, and Peanut Butter.
This is interesting and probably a nice thing for tech savvy people. I'm intimidated by tech & dislike stress so have been happy using a 50 cent composition BOOK + PEN + PENCIL system: Each food group (dairy for example) gets 1 or 2 pages allocated for it and the types of dairy, the container size, and their location are entered in pen (dry milk, #10 can, under spare bed for example) while the number of each item at that location is entered in pencil so that it can be easily changed as items are added to storage or removed and placed in the working pantry. When items come up on sale, I just refer to the book to check whether I need to "top off" that item to maintain the desired calorie count and days of storage. Yup, call me old fashioned, but I spent way too much time and felt my blood boiling just trying to figure out how to make a call on a cell phone!
Thanks for understanding. I like your system of having it all in one (large) place and organized!
I’m enjoying this program too! Easy Peasy! I still haven’t printed everything out yet but everything is in the inventory. Now I just add or subtract as I go.
If you're on the fence and not sure whether to get this or not, take my word for it - do it. Mike (who runs the ultimate prep system) is a great guy and you can get directly in contact with him should you ever need. The logistical problems of putting things back has always caused me anxiety and discouraged me from doing it to begin with. But I've used the UPS since last summer and I'm in love.
390% chocolate, my heros!🤣🤣
Thanks guys for going through that awesome way to track supplies, esp as one item is one sale, say rice, but you may have to wait until beans are on sale, you'll know right away how much to buy to balance things out. This will be very handy for all us "2020 preppers" to manage our stores as the years roll on. Many Blessings
call me paranoid but I would be worried about a government knowing about this and access who has what. Alot like registration of certain rights.
That’s not paranoid, it’s a great question. I have a whole video on privacy and security but one key point is that the platform I built this on is used by companies for storing the most sensitive type of information, protected health information (PHI). That potentially exposes those companies to massive lawsuits for 8+ figures if that data got into the wrong hands. They would only use this platform (Smartsheet) after thorough assessment of the privacy and security policies, technologies and procedures. Hope this helps.
@@PrepperNerd Quick question on this point - is it possible to run this from a local copy?
@@danallen698 Hi, the platform is an online only platform. However, you're able to print out your inventory at any time.
Yall are my favs. Nerdy but fun.(nerdy in a nice way, Doug), and really good info., always👍🇺🇸🖖👽😁
Interesting! I’m a sucker for a dashboard.
I have this and love it.
We're prepping for over twenty here. The logistics for that many folks has been mind numbing. For many years, I kept logs and knew exactly what I had (relevant to calories). We have three buildings, a cellar and a buried cistern, each dedicated to different aspects of preparedness. Keeping our stocks in specific areas and in plain view helps me keep my head around it. Yearly inventories have helped to make certain that everything is viable and in good condition.
Lately though, I have been prepping so hard and fast that I don't have time for bookkeeping. I'd like to have a system like the one you shared but at this point I'm not certain that its worth the effort.
Its time to prep like there is no tomorrow, because some day soon, there isn't gonna be. It really doesn't matter to me now, what I have or whether I have enough. It is what it is and all I can do is stack like a mad man.
I suspect that the amount of time spent maintaining this system will mean it will go by the wayside fairly quickly. The time cost of maintenance seams to greatly outweigh the benefit actually obtained by using the system. Standard inventory rotation is needed regardless which serves most purposes. Unless one has a warehouse, inventory systems such as this seem overkill likely destined for shelf ware. A nice but ultimately impractical time waster for the home.
Jonathan - great info, thank you. I use spread sheet but only for food stuffs. Major success - in the last two years or so the wife has gotten on board and now keeps me up to date when she pulls an item from inventory.
Hey LeRoy...Well done!! It really doesn't matter how we get the job done, just that we do it. So glad you and your wife are in sync with it...that is somewhat rare. As a team, you can and will make great progress! Thanks for being part of the solution!
Sir your calories are wrong. You need to double that minimum 😒
When SHTF water is first and 3x the amount just from the extra activity then the water for hygiene and first aid clothes cooking etc. My background us Army my caloric intake was 6000 / day and after 2 weeks lost weight. Great idea for keeping track
Army AL
That’s definitely something people don’t take into account enough. So in that sense if you think you have a year, you might have 4-6 months of food. The nice thing about the system is you can specify the number of calories that you personally want to plan for each person in your family.
During this past year of Staycations, we have been Blessing families in Quarantine Status with Food Drops on the Porch.
It's nice to Bless others, but we have been enlightened as to the cost Financially, Quantity & Inventory wise of sharing Preps.
Heck no I won’t be putting ANY info on a computer. I’d have to have my own server and antivirus protection to do that. I have everything written down in a notebook. A person has to actually WALK IN AND FIND THE NOTEBOOK in order to hack it. Nice idea but definitely not for me.
Plus anything manual like pen & paper aren't reliant on electricity to work
This sounds like an online program. I would rather have a paper system or even one that I can use on the computer. My internet goes down too many times.
Yea, I agree I like the online/computer based inventory gives a more informed look. I also want a paper inventory system worked out when I do t have electricity to run a computer
Thank you for the breakdown!
So when the chocolate drops below 300% it automatically orders more & delivery is by drone?
😉 Yeppers, and under the cover of a New Moon after midnight, so the neighbors don't see the Delivery.
I have used an adapted spreadsheet from another online source.
I have had both a manual and online prepping inventory list for many years. I recently got Prepper Nerd's "Prep Inventory System" also, and have just started using it. I am now shopping for an affordable barcode scanner I can use with my Dell laptop to make it faster to input data into the Prep Inventory System about my future purchases :-) (Unfortunately, my old iPhone can't run the SmartSheet App so I can't use the camera in it as a scanner).
The good news is I’ve heard using a barcode scanner is even faster than using a smartphone! And you should be able to find one for about $30 or so.
@@PrepperNerd That's great, thanks Mike!
I use a spreadsheet as well, broken into specific categories.
And one of a sudden, all prepper channels started advertising this $50 spread-sheet. Something to consider....
And all of a sudden many people realized they were not as prepared as they thought they were, realized their preps were completely out of balance, and realized they needed to do something about it 🤓 And it’s $29 with the coupon to cover my costs 👍
thanks Again For Sharing
I love this system!!!
seems a little complicated and may be more trouble than its worth? I have a simplified system of just guessing what I have and what I need.
Sorry, just can't get behind 50.00 a year. Also it sounds like data stored in the cloud? How secure is the data? Give me a lifetime price and fully local data storage... let me run offline. Only then would I buy it.
This is a great video, thank you. The pulsing is hard to watch. Can you re-encode and reupload?
by memory - this is how I track my storage - sadly - isn´t it?
I agree with your daughter - it is definately WAYYY to less chocolate 🤣
It’s very interesting but what about when there is no power, or someone hacks your computer
This may be a good idea but very time consuming. It may work best for a shopping list to get a desired amount of preps whether it be food, tools or equipment and supplies for maintenance and gardening. After reaching your desired goal additional preps one could just replace what they consumed the next shopping day. You know the saying “buy what eat, eat what you buy”. Have a way to rotate the food.
If supplies, plywood, nails, roofing, tarps, etc are used replace those items iv available.
Maintaining a list may work for some folks but after reading some of the above remarks, although a good idea, the time to keep up the list is not for everyone.
I do enjoy your videos and you being
Continued: you being an engineer you may have good ideas on items other than goof to store.
Also I forgot, for anyone there is a $20 discount code TUP. I just double checked and it is still applicable.
Still $49 per year subscription after that. Plus another $10 per year if you want support.
@@Oxnate I have had it for about two weeks and Prepper Nerd will do anything you want on the software, and answers questions in the middle of the night.
It is worth it for me!
@@Oxnate the coupon applies for every year, and the premium support option is for significant customizations 👍
I have many years worth of food on an Excel Spreadsheet. I would be interested if he had a simple way to import information.
Thanks for the question. If you’re interested in signing up, I’d be happy to take a look at your spreadsheet to see if I can import it for you. It depends if the data is organized similarly. You can email a blank version to mike@prepper-nerd.com .. I’m happy to help
Wow.im prepped but no inventory..but I know I have somewhere....
I don't see it in the app store
How secure is this program? Can you run it on your computer without sharing your info in-line?
i use a spreadsheet and CAN NOT get my wife to take items off when she pulls it out of inventory.
i wouldnt list my items on the internet i only use pencil and paper!
I'm like some on your comments that tracks it on paper. I like the print function. I'll check out the program. It would be very beneficial when I'm presenting in our emergency preparedness class. I'm curious if the barcode feature works to remove/delete an item that you use from your pantry.
Hi Mr Whitten, Jonathan let me know about your question. This feature - food removal by barcode scan - is currently one of the top voted feature ideas. So I’m pretty sure it will be implemented... I just have to figure out the best way to do it. I’d be happy to address any other questions you have; you can feel free to email me at mike@prepper-nerd.com
Prepper nerd, lol! Us nerds are going to survive what’s coming.
10 % in chocolate would be a safer bet for me 😅
@@TheProvidentPrepper maybe already prepared chocolate won’t last a long time; but cacao powder can be used in your stockpile and it won’t go bad or melt
@@TheProvidentPrepper oh yeah you make a really good point 😅
If it’s online other people know what you have including the government. Thanks but no thanks.
Cannot hear your video
Volume is fine. Turn up your speakers.
Elizabeth, the sound came through well on my laptop and my Amazon Fire tablet. Perhaps your internet connection is having problems? :-)
something about that math seems a little suspect.. so someone my size...6'3 235# needs 2585 base calories (no) +1292.5 calories for being a couch potato (no)and 258.5 calories to digest that motherlode of calories(probably yes) for a total of for a total of 4136 k/cal a day. yeah....i think not...unless obesity and myocardial infarction are your goal....just sayin
Hi Jim, I think the calorie requirements shown were inclusive of what you call “base” + couch potato + digestion. I think it was meant as a general overall guide. The nice thing though is that you can specify in the system exactly how many calories you want to plan for each person.
This program has too much crap on it. I need a simple fill in the blank boxes with a minimum maximum and current inventory stock, location and end date. I cannot use open office or spreadsheets as I am not literate in that stuff and too damned old to learn, we used to be able to find programs like this a dime a dozen. Now everyone want them to be online and have an annual fee and use the cloud. I don't want to share my inventory with the cloud and I don't want to keep paying for a system that does not need to be updated.
